All God's Creatures Supports
German Shepherd Rescue of OC
On Sunday, All God's Creatures invited the German Shepherd Rescue of OC (GSROC) to Messiah. GSROC is a 22-year-old non-profit animal welfare organization serving the greater SoCal area. Just this month, GSROC earned the distinction of being voted "Best Charity In Orange County" by the LA Times, beating out other large and grass root charities for this honor.
The group is experiencing a disturbing increase in the number of large, purebred German Shepherds that need to be rescued from area shelters and from private parties who have fallen on hard times. Currently, GSROC has more than 70 dogs of all ages depending on them for their daily care and comfort needs. The group is funded entirely by donations and receives no municipal or government support.
On Sunday, they brought a small representation of the dogs that are looking for homes. Please take time to learn more about how you can help GSROC save more lives. They are particularly in need of individuals who can commit to walking some of the dogs in Yorba Linda. Find out more here!

Thank You for Your Donations!
Note from All God's Creatures Ministry to our Partners in Ministry:
"Thank you so much for your compassionate and generous hearts! It was a beautiful morning with the awesome German Shepherds and handlers. We were able to give the rescue a $448 donation and there is one pending adoption!
The need for adoption, fostering and dog walkers is ongoing. You can also locate the rescue's wish list online by clicking here.
If you would like to be involved with other opportunities to help God's creatures, share your compassion and have fellowship, we would love to have you join us. We meet on the first Saturday of the month at 9am on the church patio at Messiah.
Thank you again to all that made this event possible and successful.
Blessings, All God's Creatures Animal Ministry"
