I know that in California a GS is very popular. It would probably be adopted within days. Do they have a breed rescue shelter where you live? In the US they have a club that rescues the GS from bad homes, or from people that just can't keep them. It is very bad to just leave him there. I would try contacting the spca. If you don't want the dog taken away, just ask them what they know about breed rescues. There are so many people that would absolutely love to have that dog(me included). Don't give up hope. You8 could even put an ad in the newspaper or posters a a local store. C'mon. Be creative. There has to be some way to give that dog a better home.
