Alumni of 2000

The following are dogs that were adopted from the Central Illinois German Shepherd Dog Rescue in 2000.

Onyx — Adopted on November 25, 2000

Onyx was an active, solid black male German Shepherd that just liked to play! He was very protective of his home and was was adopted by a wonderful woman with a nice yard and large home. He will never be without toys or love, and she appreciates the protection he provides for everyone who stays at the house.

Jesse— Adopted on November 25, 2000

Jesse-, Jesse ( One of Morning Star's babies) was a sweet and gentle soul. We were thrilled that he was adopted right before the holidays so that he could be home with a family to celebrate. Jesse also wasn't be lonely since he was moving in to a home where he had another dog friend.

Kala— Adopted on November 24, 2000

Kala was an awesome little dog that could do anything! She loved to swim, did directed retrieval, tracking, and obedience.. She was a tiny little bombshell of energy and intelligence. Gorgeous as well, Kala had a thick, beautiful sable coat and the prettiest tail ever! We can only hope there will be more dogs like her in our future.

Uli— Adopted on September 11, 2000

This goofball was sweet and adorable! Uli was German Shepherd and what we think was Malamute. Uli was big with flying nun ears and a curly tail when he got excited. His match was made at a pet fair when the interested people brought their female (who usually didn't like other dogs) and she actually liked Uli! It was meant to be. Uli now has a family to play with, a nice house and yard and, of course, his female companion.

Kita— Adopted on August 8, 2000
 

Kita was the last of Missy's litter to be adopted. She was a pretty girl and really quite the diva. She was adopted by a lovely couple in a beautiful neighborhood where all the doggies and their humans meet for coffee and play. Much to our surprise, she was only 6 months old when she was adopted and she grew even bigger in size in her new home!
