RESCUED by Coastal German Shepherd
Calista has been hidden in the quarantine area of Carson Animal Care since Monday. Who would even guess this friendly German shepherd is only four-years-old? What kind of life did she have before she was picked up as a stray? How could anyone look at their dog day after day and allow her condition as a once beautiful German shepherd to deteriorate like this?
Follow Calista’s Facebook page here. Notes on her health indicate the following:
” I called the shelter. Skin scrape was negative for mange. She had really bad fleas when she came in. No real diagnosis except for dermatitis and generalized alopecia (hair loss). Also, her teeth are very worn down.”
Volunteers all love her. Check out her video here:

Dumped dog is dead just weeks after she was adopted from CA shelter – learn more here.
Please please help Calista. This seems to be a fast and high-kill shelter!
Awww she’s a beauty despite all her blemishes!! Poor baby, I don’t know how anyone could neglect their dog like this!! I hope and pray Calista will soon find a 4ever home!
Why aren’t my comments going through?? Darn it!!
Please be patient. The administrators aren’t always online. We all try to do the best we can.
I live in Chicago, wish to rescue her, impossible transport, maybe truckers, into German Shepherd rescue, in past rescued 5, now have 1 rescued. Zorkadoglady@yahoo,com. Thank you.
You will have to notify the shelter and/or the volunteers who help. Calista is a beauty 😉
Neglect and abuse is at a all time high–it dosn’t just seem to be, it is. Public is learning someone can walk off with a dog and not even have to show a I.D. drivers license or get a picture taken. No cost or free adoptions. No one who intends to abuse a animal will tolerate getting their picture taken with that dog. Protecting animals is within range–easy to do. One picture. The animals deserve this and the public is asking for this much. No more of what happened to Valerie–I have wondered who decided to rename her “Cargo” we all know Cargo is something you put in a box for shipping and never comes back.
Calista poor dear, looks like she is a senior dog instead of only about 4. Really hope someone or rescue gets her and gives her the physical care she needs as well as the love she deserves. Why do people just leave their dog get like this and do nothing. Horrible people in this world that should never have any animals.
Is she well enough to be transported to Massachusettes or when she is well enough can she be transported here?????
Marsha, please rescue her, I would,, in process of selling my bldg and buying another, we all will help with adoption and transport. Dog respect and caring individuals,.
