Blue Moon Shepherd Rescue BLUE MOON SHEPHERD RESCUE
The dream to save German Shepherds began over 25 years ago. They are one of the most amazing breeds. And then, amazing things happen.

Small foster based non-profit German Shepherd rescue based in Southeast North Carolina dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of German shepherds. There comes a time when you can no longer stand by and watch the pain and suffering and not try to help. You jump in with both feet to try to make a difference. You see these sad, broken dogs become happy, healthy, wonderful companions. Wh

at we do is very difficult, but it must be done. I think the goal of every rescue person is that we are no longer needed - and every animal that comes into this world will have a wonderful home from the day they are born. But until that day comes, our mission is simple: Save as many German shepherds as we can and place them in loving and appropriate homes where they will never know pain and suffering again. We want to give them the wonderful life they should have had but were not given the chance. We are a small organization that is foster based. We rescue dogs from a variety of places. Shelters that are over crowded and have urgent need are our number one priority. We will take owner surrenders when space is available. We make the commitment to each and every animal to resolve any health or behavioral issues prior to adoption, and all dogs are vaccinated, spayed/neutered and heart worm tested and treated if they are positive. All of this takes a great deal of money and we rely on the generosity of the public to help us do our work. German Shepherd Dogs are not for everyone, and as long-time, multiple Shepherd owners ourselves, we are familiar with the type of home/family best suited for this breed. We also take into consideration that each dog is unique and has different needs and temperaments so we do our best to match the wants and desires of our adopters with the needs and requirements of our dogs. We try to ensure that both dog and family are happy with the placement. We do this through our application process which requires a home visit, vet reference check and personal reference checks. We believe this process ensures we are placing our dogs in the homes best suited to them. We make a lifetime commitment to our placements. If for any reason the adoption does not work out or there are life changes and people cannot have our dogs with them, we will take our dogs back. The safety and happiness our dogs is our number one concern. We invite you to share our journey. Donate or foster if you can. Best wishes to all,
Donna J.

So proud of the girls today. Raven has been having some gastric issues but when we saw blood, it was right to the vet. Raven was wonderful with the vet staff for x-rays and blood work. Misty came along for emotional support. We call these two the tag team because they just love romping and playing with each other. They stopped long enough, when I called their names, to get a photo. Tests reveal nothing wrong with Raven so she is on some meds and we will monitor her closely. The girls wish everyone a happy weekend.

Kodi is putting on his best 'Mommy I'm miserable' face to show mom how sad he is that he has kennel cough and can't go to doggie daycare and visit with friends. Heal quickly Kodi.

Indy enjoyed dog sitting her new buddy this weekend. Mom said she was obsessed with her new friend, a 110 lb. doodle mix. Whenever they slept, Indy had to lay next to him and touch him. Love to see our Indy settling in so well and enjoying her new life.

A rescuers worse nightmare - a leash without the dog. Misty had a restless night, took her out four times, too distracted, nothing happened. Woke up to a terrible p**p fest complete with paw painting everywhere. Got her outside, cleaned her off and left her to dry off and go in and access the damage. It was a big clean up! Came back outside and no Misty. Panic set in ran down the stair calling and calling. So where is Misty? Sniffing and hanging out with the outdoor cat. I called her and she came trotting back like, ‘Hey mom, what’s up?’ Crisis averted minus a brief heart attack. Misty is resting comfortably after her evening and morning adventure. Me, not so much.

We would like to welcome Misty to the BMSR Pack. Misty had been living under a trailer and a kind man had been feeding her and trying to find a rescue to take her. The other dogs at the trailer park were beating up on her during food time and she was becoming fearful. Misty is about six months old and a little bit of a girl. She is very sweet and gentle and a bit shy at first. Misty is great with both cats and dogs. The vet says she needs to put on some weight and she will be ready for her forever home. Please welcome sweet Misty to our pack.
