Update 6/5/2023: Rescued by Ark Charities!!
Downey, CA – A big, beautiful German shepherd has run out of time at a busy California animal shelter. The eight-year-old dog, Dandy, has been at the Downey Animal Control since April 7, and he is on the “urgent” list of dogs who must exit the facility.
This big boy (weighing in at a whopping 119 pounds!) was taken in as a stray on April 7, and though he most likely had an owner, nobody ever came to the shelter to claim him.
An advocate has described Dandy as happy and sweet. German shepherds are devoted companions with exceptional intelligence. At eight years of age, Dandy likely wants nothing more than slow strolls with his person and a soft bed to lounge on during the day.
Will you please take a moment to share Dandy’s adoption information? Time is of the essence to save this handsome dog’s life.

From the comments above–someone can take him. There are shepherd rescues– PLEASE find him a home.
This is a beautiful boy. Please someone give him a home, I live in the UK and I have 2 goldens. Retriever. Please find him a home.
Shared! I hope someone special adopts you VERY SOON Dandy 💗🐾
People have mentioned that they can do something but this site says you have to contact the shelter directly. Commenting on here is not going to do anything. I really hope someone can intervene. I live in on the Atlantic coast of canada – too far away.
Don’t wait if you think you can find Dandy a home. Call the shelter as they advised and tell them NOW you will help Dandy before its too late for him. He could be PTS any moment now, no time to waste.
Keith Olbermann’s Dogs on Twitter may be able to help. He posts every day about shelter dogs needing adoption and has a wide audience.
I could drive in Wisconsin or into Illinois.
Wish I were not so far away – I am 72 and would take him – We can get older together!! My GSD had to be put to sleep – She could not wait on me – I have been so sad about her!!!
I live in waverly ohio on my farm and have a soft couch bed an plenty of land for him to play on.
Always control the homes that Shelter Dogs go to as their fate is not always Rosie when they are out the limelight!!Pray he gets a good home!
I have an 8 yr old German Sheppard named Echo. She would love him.
Please update! What is happening with this sweet dog? I have been checking every day.
