Vet Spotlight

Our veterinary network is one of the most important aspects of our rescue organization. Bayleaf Veterinary Hospital along with several other vets across NC play a crucial role with each and every dog that comes through our adoption program and their devotion and expertise allow us to continue saving GSD lives. We are grateful for the tireless efforts and compassionate care from veterinarian Dr. Craig Wilson and the rest of Bay Leaf's dedicated staff. We encourage you to support those who support us!

Kylies Happy Ending

Gerry & I adopted Kona a year & three months ago and she has been the sweetest dog ever. Kona has added so much fun and love to our family. Kona was doing great getting along with our two cats when we decided she needed a playmate. We started looking and found a beautiful one year old german sheperd named Kylie. Kylie had been sick with pneumonia & heart worms and she deserved a new life. Sandy & Veronica (Volunteeers for the GSD Rescue) had put their heart and souls into nursing Kylie back to health. Kylie gets along great with Kona. We love having them both. Thay are very special to us. They have added so much joy to our lives. Thank you so much to the GSD Rescue ! You make such a difference in these animals lives.
