Update 11/8/16: Segers has been rescued!
A handsome German shepherd, just four years of age, is homeless, and at risk of being put down, in California. The beautiful dog, named “Segers,” previously had a home – and an owner, but for reasons unknown, the person that owned him has decided that he is no longer going to be part of their family.
A volunteer photographer, who works to increase visibility for homeless dogs at the Baldwin Park Animal Control, wrote about Segers’ heartbreaking situation:
Segers (fka Como Tu) is a very friendly 4 yr old neutered male black/tan German Shepherd who was abandoned on Sept 20, 2016. available now. originally Came to the shelter as a stray on 11/4/15 and was adopted on 11/17/15. Microchipped – Family never claimed him.
Without a doubt, this German shepherd is confused – and heartbroken. In fact, a recent visitor to the facility noted that Segers was too depressed to get up and walk to the front of his kennel run. Segers needs to be networked in order to be saved – please help this homeless dog find a new, committed family, by taking a moment to share his adoption information.

Has this poor baby been adopted?
10/15 still on PetHarbor
If I didn’t live so far away. Blessings from PA. I hope you find a home for this beautiful animal.
There are organizations that would help transport him if you are really interested. Call the shelter he is in.
All the dates in the article say 2015 and November and mentioned 4 years.
“Came to the shelter as a stray on 11/4/15 and was adopted on 11/17/15”
why news now?
Other dogs and cats are living the same story.
He was originally adopted in 2015, but is at the shelter again.
He was returned to the shelter recently. Read the article. Also notice the date of this article, right under his picture. The comments all have current dates. You should work on your reading comprehension.
good job we have people like you in this already too sarky world…..
I would take that beautiful boy if I could for my handicapped son but I live in NC. My son would absolutely love him to death!!!
Bless his heart!! This is just heartbreaking! I hope to God someone gives him a chance!!!
I think L.A. has 2 German Shepherd Rescue organizations.
Please read this article on Segers (fka Como Tu) has had a rough life and he’s only four years old. He needs to get out of this shelter asap before he becomes a victim of time/space. He needs an adopter or a foster home, pledges and a rescue group to help him find his REAL furever home.

Segers is STILL available for adoption, but only by a animal rescue group OR by someone who knows how to care and help rehabilitate dogs. He is very friendly with people/families, but can be aggressive towards other dogs. Sweet Segers. If you know of anyone/ or a group, please pass along the info.
Beautiful baby please help him. All dogs can overcome any signs of fear/agression. They simply need patience and love. It doesn’t take long. Please someone give him a chance, if you are able to have him as an addition to your family, there are wonderful people out there that will help you transport.
Has he been adopted yet? I live in Boyertown, PA and I am interested.
Matthew was interested. Was there any consideration in him becoming a foster dad??
Probably not, Matthew lives in PA and Segers is in LA. He offered to foster, not adopt. If he wanted to adopt, maybe something could be done.
No, to be a foster means that a rescue has to step in so that they can help pay the vet bills. However, any rescue pulling will be located in California and any foster will have to be living in California and wiling to go to the rescue’s vet. Not all vets accept 501c3 non-profit rescues. If he were interested in adopting, then he could work with an organization that helps transport dogs either through car or plane, as well as pulling him for him.
i really want him but i live in Cyprus on the other side of earth
Absolutely disgusting thing to do, to a family pet. I really wish folk would stop to think first, whether they are suitable pet owners before this kind of thing happens ! There are too many beautiful animals ending up neglected, because of ignorant people. Just don’t take on a pet, if you are totally and utterly clueless,+ignorant !. Best way !
What are the fees for adoption? I am very interested. LIVE in Massachusetts.
Still available? Interested. From Texas.
If you’re truly interested please use the contact info in the article, don’t just express interest in these comments.
Yay. Adopted!
