Heart
of Oak feeders are
made from solid oak and are just beautiful. If you choose
to purchase any Heart of Oak product, please
type "Central IL GSD Rescue" in the "How
did you find us:" box at checkout since that will
allow us to receive a small commission on each product
sold. We appreciate your support! Note: It
is recommended you select a feeder no taller than height
of the shoulder blade of your
dog minus three inches.
Approximately 8-12 million companion
animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year and
approximately
5-9 million are euthanized (60% of dogs and 70% of cats). — Annual Shelter Statistics, ASPCA

Kooper in his forever home
(Spring 2004) |
Update (6-14-04):Kooper
loves the swimming pool, but really prefers to play with the garden
hose |

Update (3-19-04): Leiah
will pick a fight with Kooper when he's on the couch so then he gets
off the couch and she hops on and just flops down. They like to chase
each other around the dog house and every once in awhile after they
have been playing and they come inside, one of them is usually missing
their dog collar (mostly Kooper). Don't know how she does it but
she gets it off of him every time. They both love to sit on top of
the dog house and bark at everyone. We love them very much and try
not to spoil them too much (Ha!) Wouldn't trade them in for the world. |

UPDATE (3-9-04): Kooper's
family writes, "Kooper and Leiah are doing great. Both are now
weighing in 77.6lbs (Kooper) and 76lbs (Leiah). It took them about
a month to become friends but now they are velcroed...They are such
wonderful and comical dogs to watch. Leiah will pick a fight with
Kooper when he's on the couch so then he gets off the couch and she
hops on and just flops down. They like to chase each other around
the dog house and every once in awhile after they have been playing
and they come inside, one of them is usually missing their dog collar

2003
Kooper's 1st birthday! |
Update (January 2003):
Luke's parents write: He (Kooper) is now around 55lbs and loves the
snow. Couldn't
get enough of snow. When it first started falling he would jump up
and try to catch it. Ice cubes are another favorite of his too. Don't
know why, but when you go to get ice, he's like a cat that has heard
the can opener. He has a trick where he will drop his toy into the
bathroom waste can and then pick up something else out of the trash
as if he's trying to say, "Hey, this is a fair trade". |
Kooper (December 2002) |
Update (December 2002):luke (Kooper)
is happy with his new family and spoiled too! See his picture with
Santa. |
