ADOPTED ON 12-06-14 - All of the animals that we rescue have harsh to horrible stories and before long you tend to concentrate on the dogs future and put the past out of your mind. This works most of the time but occasionally you run into that perfect dog, a dog so rare and talented that you cannot get your head around the fact that a human does exist that could actually harm and torture this wonderful gift from god. Though I could never forgive the low life that harmed our boy general ace I am sure that this special creature with the all-loving heart will find a way, I am truly humbled by this young man. General ace is an extremely handsome German shepherd with a large frame, a sable coat and is about 3 years old. I believe that "ace" will probably top out at about 90-100 pounds, though at this point he is a little too malnourished to make an accurate call. Anyone who is around the general is simply amazed at his openness, the depth of his love, his affection for all things human or canine and above all else his sweet and gentle demeanor.

Getting to know this dog has been a journey of enlightenment, realizing that there really is something that exist that is absolutely pure. I know I must sound odd in the way I marvel at the general but you will understand when you hear his story. Our boy was literally pulled from the doorstep of death; he had been intentionally abandoned to starve to death in a metal cage. It appeared that general had put up quite an effort to survive by trying to demolish the pen; the previous "owner" apparently took exception to this effort and physically knocked out his 4 canine teeth. Though I am sure that I would visit major harm on the sorry excuse of humanity that harmed this poor creature, I find peace in the fact that I have had the wonderful experience of helping such a deserving sole as "general ace". Of course the “ace" has been successful in completing all of his socialization and training programs though at times I wondered who was the student and who was the teacher.

About Our Rescue
These dogs deserve all of our attention, and in Rescue Dog Village, we are committed to our adopters and our dogs equally. We offer full disclosure and hope to make the best matches possible. Please know our adoption fees never cover our expenses. We rely on the generosity of our adopters and supporters to help us help the dogs.
Our rescue is ONLY in the business of offering FULL DISCLOSURE to adopters, and expects and hopes to engage your questions and concerns fully. We owe it to the dogs we rescue and all the wonderful families/adopters who might consider welcoming our charges into their hearts and home. Our dogs are waiting for that ideal forever home where they will be cherished as deserving family members. It's sad these second chances are even necessary for these dogs, but we are committed to them and will devote the time and energy to their rehoming, and not just MOVE them to save more dogs. We diligently and responsibly seek good matches as we don't want to re-home the dog again. These animals have already endured more than they should have, and through no fault of their own. It behooves us to be honest and forthright, and we appreciate the same in return from applicants. It's that winning combination of reciprocal trust and respect that allows for successful placements to be made. Happy adopters translate to happy dogs, and that's our goal!
Our rescue volunteers will be more than honored to be in touch with you directly and promptly, after receiving your application and conducting a mandatory a veterinarian check. If you have never owned a dog before, please submit your application regardless, and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible. TAKE NOTE YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR SPAM AS SOME RESPONSES FROM US WIND UP THERE WE'VE DISCOVERED. Also, take care to contact your veterinarian to let them know a member of rescue will be inquiring about your pet history!
Thank you for respecting that we all donate our time to saving these animals, and understand we value your philanthropic and compassionate desire to help be part of the rescue team. That said, you'll understand why we are committed to the well-being of our charges and consider this veterinarian check mandatory. If you are a first-time dog owner, we will work with you every step of the way! ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION ARE AS MUCH A PART OF RESPONSIBLE RESCUE AS ADOPTION! And it takes a RESCUE VILLAGE to help the most dogs possible in a thorough manner to ensure success on all fronts, and then some! It is an awful feeling to fail a dog, and we can't continue rescue if we don't do everything we can to ensure good matches for the dogs and tender families who might adopt them. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
Although we are an extremely small rescue group, we understand and respect your family's eagerness to be in touch and learn as much as you can about the dogs you are considering adopting. Our very experienced and devoted trainer will be happy to share all aspects of OUR RESCUE DOGS to determine compatibility once you've submitted your application, and another of our volunteers will explain the whole process of our rescue and answer any questions you might have as well
