Midge, The Sweet German Shepherd Left Behind… and Running Out of Time

Midge #246434 is a gorgeous 1–2-year-old German Shepherd mix who weighs about 70 pounds and has already been spayed and microchipped. Found wandering alone as a stray — likely abandoned — she arrived at Apple Valley Animal Services scared, confused, and still hopeful that someone kind would come for her. Despite what she’s been through, Midge remains incredibly loving. Volunteers say she leans in for affection, lights up for attention, and has quickly become a shelter favorite. She was even named “Pet of the Week.”
But Midge is out of time. Apple Valley Animal Services is a very high-intake, high-kill shelter, and Midge is now extremely urgent — she can be euthanized any time after 11/26 unless a rescue or adopter steps forward.

Why Midge Deserves Her Second Chance ❤️🐾
🐾 Friendly and affectionate: Loves people and soaks up attention
🐾 Volunteer favorite: Sweet, gentle, and eager to connect
🐾 Young and full of potential: Just 1–2 years old with her whole life ahead
🐾 Already spayed & microchipped: Ready to go home
🐾 Smart, loyal, and loving: Classic Shepherd heart

What She Needs Right Now 🆘🏡
✔️ A committed adopter OR long-term foster starting 12/12
✔️ A rescue partner ready to pull her — if we can secure placement
✔️ A family who will never abandon her again
✔️ Urgent networking to save her life
Midge is one of those dogs who steals hearts instantly — but without immediate help, she won’t get her chance.

If you’ve ever thought about fostering or adopting, this is the moment a life truly depends on it.
Please help save Midge #246434 from Apple Valley Animal Services.
