Hi! My name is Reyna! I am a very sweet, 4 year old female, GSD mix. I am a petite 55 pounds, spayed, current on vaccinations, HW negative and microchipped. I am a reserved girl, so it takes some time for me to warm up to new people. My demeanor is playful and friendly, and even though I enjoy playing with other dogs here at the rescue, I prefer to be with humans. I can play a bit rough at times and I love to chase things, so no small dogs or cats. Since arriving at EDCGSR I have really come out of my shell and enjoy being brushed and fussed over. Who doesn't, right? I could use a training class to work on my obedience and manners. Walks would be fun as I can walk off leash and have great recall. I am a regal girl who is looking for someone who can help me gain trust and is willing to spend time to teach me. A foster home would be great, so they can help me become confident and prepare me for my forever home. Could you be my knight in shining armor? If so, please contact EDCGSR and fill out an application. I look forward to meeting you!

My name is Tina and I'm as dainty as my name! I'm an adorable sable colored, 60 pound female German Shepherd/Whippet mix that's about 15 months old. Long of leg and fleet of feet, I have little bursts of energy and then am content to be a lounge lizard for the rest of the day. I am the perfect dog for walking, hiking, in the great outdoors or relaxing in the house. A little shy around people until I get to know them, I would prefer to be in a home with another polite active dog. I get along great with three large German Shepherds at my foster home (male and female) and I love to play with them. I stay in the house when my humans are home and haven't had any accidents. I come when called, am learning "wait", "stand", and how to walk nicely on a leash. I am spayed, heartworm negative, and micro-chipped and of course, current on vaccinations. Cute as a bug's ear and cuddly, I'd love to be your snuggle bunny!

Hi, my name is Rudy! I am a very handsome, sweet, 8-10 month-old male GSD puppy. I sure love people and other dogs and maybe even cats! Even though I am super cute I would sure love a puppy socialization class, learn manners and know what boundaries are. Just like a typical puppy I am very mouthy, and I like to jump up on people and other dogs. My ideal furever family would be with someone who can take me on adventures, build my confidence and make me be the best GSD I can be! I am eager to learn, love and be amazing! I am still a new guy, so more to come as my Foster family gets to know. If you have the experience and Love to provide, then please reach out to my friends at EDCGSR and lets setup a visit!

Water sports, dog park, hiking, running, and adventure? That all sounds like fun to me! Hi, my name is Butte. I was found during the Butte fires last year, so hence the name. I am a white, male GSD, approximately 4 years old. I can be a bit shy around new people, so it will take me time to warm up. The dog parks are fun, and I get to play with older children there too. In true GSD fashion I do alarm bark at home or sense an intruder. I do bark when I see men in baseball caps but can be easily corrected. Do you have a dog or two already? I get along with easy-going dogs and would prefer a canine companion. Since I am energetic I would do best with an active family, one that enjoys water sports and swimming. I am house trained and crate trained, but could brush up on my obedience training. A training class would be fun and help me bond with my new owner. Plus, you could help me be the best GSD I can be! EDCGSR has me current on vaccinations, neutered, HW negative and microchipped. If you're looking for a sweet, active canine, then consider giving me a chance at a wonderful life. I will be your best friend for life! Please contact EDCGSR and fill out an application to meet me.
Willowis a sweet, intelligent 18 month old silver/black, female GSD who weighs about 65lbs. This young sweetheart was an owner surrender who lived with other dogs and a dog savvy cat. She is doing well in her foster home working on boundaries. She does well when matched with dogs, preferably males as she plays a bit rough. She craves attention, but can become over stimulated with too much. She is a sweet, active gal who would enjoy an experienced GSD family, or person willing to give her the attention and training she deserves. She would love a yard and daily walks or runs. She is house and crate trained. This beauty is not recommended for a first time Shepherd adopter. She is confident with very little submissiveness, the standard breed temperament and she can be assertive and pushy; will challenge leadership status. She is an independent problem-solver that will try to out-think her owner. With her usually Moderate to High Energy she will need physical and mental exercise regularly for life. If needs are not met, she will take over the household in a hot second and can become destructive or an escapist. Willow is spayed, current on vaccinations, heart worm negative, micro-chipped and waiting for that family or person to spend the rest of her life with.
Hi, my name is Destiny. I am a 3-year-old, female GSD and around 75lbs. A good Samaritan found me in the river and I was too weak to get out on my own so they rescued me. I weighed 25lbs. at that time, but I have progressed nicely and put on weight. So happy for a second chance at life!
My basic obedience is great, and I am crate trained, house trained and walk nicely on leash. An obedience class would be fun and help me bond with my new owner! I know sit, down, come, wait, and leave it.
I get along with other dogs with proper introduction. Due to my high prey drive a home with cats or small animals is not recommended. My interest would be too high and end up chasing them. My great personality allows me to be around children with proper supervision.
As with all my fellow GSD friends at the rescue I am spayed, HW negative, current on vaccinations and micro-chipped. Is a sweet and loving girl like me part of your Destiny? Please contact EDCGSR and fill out an application to meet me.
Destiny is a special needs dog as she has a condition know as EPI and will need to be on medication for the rest of her life.
My name is Max! I'm a 4 year old GSD mix with a handsome tan coat and black saddle. I can be a little timid when meeting new people at first, but will warm up to most anyone. I'm living in a foster home with 2 other male dogs and get along pretty well with them. Sometimes I want to try and be boss but it never goes far. I thrive with clear boundaries and a strong leader to help build my confidence. I'm learning a lot in my foster home, like how to walk on leash, have polite house manners and sleep in a crate. My fosters are sure setting me up for success! A training class or two would be fun to keep me on track for success. I would love to have a quiet home with a calm setting where I could be walked twice a day, but relax and hang out at the end of the day. I would thrive in a home with an older couple or older children in a quiet and loving home. I'm current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, neutered and microchipped. I will be waiting for a loving and patient family. Could that be you?
Hi, my name is Maxine! Didn't they give me a beautiful name? I think so! I'm a 2-3 year old, 55lb. female GSD with TONS of energy. So I guess that makes me a typical German Shepherd. I actually had an owner, but my owner never came to get me at the shelter. I was lucky enough because EDCGSR saw the potential in me and rescued me from the shelter. I just finished a board and train program to learn some manners and more specifically, I am learning how to be appropriate with other dogs as I can be a bit pushy and dominate. I can be a bit of a diva! My high energy helps to engage me in training and shine. I would do best as an only dog or with a male dog that I can play with. I love people too, but may be a bit too much energy for toddlers, so older children, 12+ are more up my alley. If you love the water then I would be your best pal to enjoy the beach and go for a good swim at the lake. We could play ball as I love to fetch. I'm current on vaccinations, Heartworm negative, spayed and microchipped. I would thrive with an active family who has GSD experience and time to spend with me to help me be the best I can be.
Hi, my name is Stella! I'm a beautiful black GSD who is around 5 years old. If you're looking for a very sweet, calm gal who loves chewing on Kongs, buffalo horns or antlers then I'm the gal for you. If you enjoy going to the lake or beach then I would love to tag along and play in the water too. I'm good with other dogs both male and female. Each dog I have met at the rescue has been fun to play with! I am gentle when taking treats and would be great for a family with older children, only because I don't know if I've ever been around little humans. I'm a little shy when meeting new people and prefer taking it slow, but will warm up to anyone eventually. I was pulled from Yolo County with 2 other dogs and was probably an outside dog, but I want to be with people. If you're looking for a GSD who's not too clingy, likes her own space but will come in for hugs and pets, then I might be what the doctor ordered. I'm current on vaccinations, spayed, heartworm negative and microchipped.
Adopted August 2018: Hi my name is Nova and like my name suggests, I'm a star! I am a young 1.5 year old GSD at a petite 55 pounds. Do not let my petite size fool you though, because I have a big personality and energy to match. I love to play with other dogs and love people. I have a loving disposition and sweet nature. If you're lucky then I might roll over for a belly rub after play time. My manners and basic obedience are still a work in progress. So why not give me a chance and we can learn some training tips together? My attentiveness and energy will help me catch onto commands quickly! If you're looking for a fun, loving and energetic GSD in a compact size, then please contact my friends at EDCGSR so we can meet. I'm current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, spayed and microchipped.
Adopted Aug 2018:Are you looking for an energetic buddy who loves the water, running and going on adventures? Then I am your guy! My name is Atticus, I am a 4-year-old, 80 lb., male, sable shepherd mix. I am a handsome, loving guy who is neutered, current on vaccinations, microchipped and HW negative. I would make a great dog to pal around with as I have my basic commands down pat, but further training would be great! My willingness to please and attentiveness would make you proud and shine in a training class! I know general commands like sit, down, come, place and I walk nicely on a loose leash. Oh, I am house, and crate trained too, so that is a plus. I would do best with an active family who loves to run and go places, so a family with older children would be best, however, I did live in a home with younger children and loved them. I can be picky about who I warm up to, but don't take it personally. Please contact EDCGSR and fill out an application if I sound like a fun dog. It would be great to meet you!

My name is Smokey! And in my humble opinion, an extremely handsome, highly intelligent, 65 pound, male ,German Shepherd mix. I smile and wag my tail a lot, am very loving, eager to please and want your approval. Being 3 years old and still in my teen-age years, I have a puppy-like playfulness and exuberance that makes people think I'm much younger. I have lots of energy and would love to be your running, hiking, or frisbee buddy but am calm in the house when you want me be to be calm. I am loyal, devoted, and a great watchdog. My intermediate and advanced obedience classes have taught me how to sit, down, wait (so I won't bolt out the door), come when called, walk nicely on leash, and get along with strange dogs and people without overly reacting. I love snacks!!! And will do anything for food so I am highly trainable but I need a stable family that will set boundaries for me and be consistent so I will remember my manners. I get along with other dogs that have good doggy manners. My foster family lets me stay in the house with their German Shepherds whenever they are home and I love to play with them. I am neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped, and heart worm negative. One of my parents is a German Shepherd and the other is a German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever/Shiba Inu mix. Because of my puppy-like attitude the best home for me would be with older children and adults. I would like nothing better than to love you and always be by your side but I should only be adopted by an experienced German Shepherd or Shiba Inu owner.
Hey, the names Maverick! I am a fun and rambunctious, neutered, 2 year old GSD/labrador mix. I may have a rough exterior, but I am a softy through and through. I am an easy-going guy and my floppy ears add to my handsome look.
I am an energetic boy who loves to play with my two foster siblings, who are both a male and female GSD's. I enjoy daily walks with my foster siblings at the park and relax under a shady tree and watch others walk by. I do great on leash!
The basic obedience commands are a work in progress, but wouldn't training class be fun! I take treats softly and look to you for guidance, so obedience and direction will be fun with my new family. Oh, I am crate trained and have nice house manners!
My two foster siblings are teaching me boundaries and how to be polite around other dogs. I can be too energetic for them sometimes, so an active family and dogs who can handle my energy would be best.
I am a bit cautious of new people, but warm up to them after a couple minutes.I do jump up in excitement, so a family with older kids would be best at this time.
I enjoy playing with other dogs and am cat workable.
If you're looking for a young boy who loves to play, go for walks, and likes to relax at the end of the day,then I am your guy! Current on vaccinations, Heartworm negative, micro-chipped.
Tyke was born April 4th. He is a handsome sable German Shepherd, who is courageous for his age and has a keen sense of hearing and smell. He is ALL puppy and loves to play with toys, old shoes, slippers, etc. Although he can entertain himself, he would enjoy a playmate that has lots of patience and energy. Tyke is in the process of being potty trained; he sleeps inside (in close proximity to his foster parents) through the night with outdoor breaks every 3 to 4 hours and enjoys the outdoors during the day. Crate training is also being introduced inside the house and car. He is current on all shots, deworming, flea, tick, and heartworm meds. Oh, did we forget to tell you that Tyke has been blind since birth? Tyke needs closer guidance and supervision than most to keep him safe, but as you can tell his disability does not impair his spunk for life and adventure. His foster parents are very experienced because they have owned a blind German Shepherd since a puppy. They successfully training their blind dog in basic obedience, agility, tracking, and fetch. They are confident Tyke can achieve the same level of training and become self sufficient once acclimated to his surroundings.

I am a 2 year old, 55 pound, female German Shepherd. I am super sweet, obedient, eager to please, and want your approval. I get along well with both male and female German Shepherds in my foster home and I love to play with them! I have lots of energy when you want me to, but I am calm in the house when you want me to be calm. I live in the house when my foster parents are at home and since I am just getting out of my puppy stage, as long as I can chew on Nylabones I won't chew on anything else. My beginning dog obedience class has taught me how to sit, down, wait (so I won't bolt out the door), come when called, walk nicely on leash, and get along with strange dogs without overly reacting. I am spayed, vaccinated, micro-chipped, and heart worm negative.

He warms up quickly to women, and with treats, is more responsive to men. He loves to play with most of the dogs here at the rescue, but would be best with a secure older female, one willing to put up with his adolescent behavior, or one closer to his age he can play with. With proper introductions Jackson would probably get alone with most dogs. This guy is really a "diamond in the rough", but needs someone with some GSD experience as he's at that young age where he's looking for a leader and checking boundaries. Jackson is doing well with his manners and walking on leash. This gorgeous canine is looking for an active family, willing to invest some time and training to help him obtain his full potential.

Chester is a 6-7 month old male GSD mix puppy weighing 40 lbs. He was found wandering in rural Yolo County, and his family never came for him.
Chester is a sweet, soft boy who craves affection. When I went to get him from his kennel today, he wagged his tail but looked a little uncertain (we hadn't met yet). I gave him some treats and leashed him without trouble, and we walked together to an outdoor yard with no pulling on-leash.
Outside, Chester padded over to a volunteer and flopped down next to her, rolling over for belly rubs. His poor skin is so scabby and sore, you have to be careful where you pet him! Chester really wanted cuddles, and was sweet and smiley with both of us. He was a little spooked by the tarp flapping in the wind, and looked up and crouched a little, but recovered quickly.
We introduced Chester to a female pit bull, and he was timid at first but soon began to play with her.

Tis' the season... It's December, when the realness of the holiday season really sets in. Amongst the many holiday parties, gift giving mania and deadlines before the celebrations can officially start I have managed to highlight a few wonderful things I am excited to engage in this month. Let's cheers to the first December weekend!
1. The Holidays
Well, my favorite holiday, Chrismakuh, is finally around the corner and we can officially go all out in celebration of the season! I'm so happy to come home and watch cheesy lifetime Christmas movies with my roommate, sip warm drinks and see all the lovely decorations at all my favorite places in Los Angeles (most notably the nutcrackers wearing pink jackets at the Beverly Hills Hotel pictured above). The icing on gingerbread house (see what I did there?) is that Los Angeles seems to be embracing the festive season with some relatively cold weather (aka we can wear a sweater and boots). It's a great time to spend with loved ones and I'm looking forward to doing just that!
2. La La Land Movie
Ever since I saw the first trailer in theaters this summer I've been mesmerized by this film that's been eloquently described as "a love letter to Los Angeles" and staring one of my favorite on screen couples, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, in the city I now call home. The film is set to release in select theaters December 9th, check here to see when and where it's playing near you! Oscar season, so close!
3. Montana Ave Holiday Walk
I love this annual celebration of the holidays just next door to Brentwood, in my favorite area in Santa Monica. Montana Avenue is a beautiful tree lined street with plenty of cute shops, cafes, eateries, and speciality stores. I love it because it's laid back, pretty and generally free of tourists. Some of my favorite spots include Frilly Lilly, Sweet Lady Jane, Brentwood General Store, Caffè Luxxe, Forma, and Andrew's Cheese Shop. The event today (December 2nd) goes from 5pm-9pm and has tons of fun stuff for kids and sales for shoppers. Lots of the stores have treats and the smart ones, wine. It's a fun event for everyone to get festive and I'm excited to go tonight with some good friends!
4. My Mother is Coming to Town
And yes, this is a good thing! My mother is obsessed with Los Angeles and loves any excuse to come visit, especially from windy (and outright freezing) Chicago. I love having people in town in general but especially my mother because we are very similar in terms of planning ahead and hitting up all the great spots. She always up for an adventure, just like me, and so she is the perfect guest to host. We will get to see our family in Pasadena and maybe head up the coast at some point to some of the best spots on the California coast.
Happy December, but more importantly, happy Friday!

Confucianism's Answers To…
Download this article as a PDF
Who Is God?
There is no God, per se, in Confucianism. Confucius has never been considered a god by his adherents. Confucianism is a socio-philosophical movement aimed at bettering society. Confucius did believe, however, in the Great Ultimate (Tao), which manifests itself in the I, or change. Tao is the cause of I, and generates Yang (energy) and Yin (a passive form). Together, Yin and Yang are seen as complementary symbols of the energy and tension in a system of counterforces. Tao, or the Great Ultimate, is the first-cause of the universe, a force that flows through all life, but is not a personal being.
Where Did We Come From?
The interaction between the Yin and Yang is thought to be the cause for the creation of all that is. Tao, the Great Ultimate, is the cause of change and generates Yin and Yang. Therefore, we came from Tao, the Great Ultimate, the force that permeates the universe.
Why Are We Here?
Ultimately, we are here to discover our real self, which is the nature of Tao. Humans are thought to be inherently good. Through self-discipline, a human is able to move in accordance to Tao and thus will enjoy the principle of change. In a practical sense, we are here to better ourselves and society. This is done through education and enlightenment.
How Do We Know?
We know and understand Confucianism through his writings and those of his disciples. The major works of Confucius include:
- Lun Yu, or the Wisdom of Confucius.
- Chung Yung, or Doctrine of the Mean.
- Ta Hsueh, or the Great Learning.
Confucius is thought to have studied the I Ching, or Classic of Changes, a Chinese manual of divination. His disciple, Mencius, wrote several books, including The Mencius, Ev Ya, a dictionary of terms, and Kung-yang Chuan, a commentary on Ch'un Ch'iu.
What Do We Have to Do?
Above all, Confucius felt that the ideal of shu, or reciprocity, should guide all actions; what you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others. Confucius also prescribed seven steps in a strategy to achieve social transformation and to bring about the ideal society.
- The investigation of things and variables to discover their nature and to determine how they are connected.
- The completion of knowledge. Determining why things are the way they are, why they are related. This is truth, or Tao, and the discovery of Tao empowers a person's transformation.
- Sincerity of thought. The desire for transformation and change in accordance with Tao must be sincere. Sincerity reaches full expression in the ability to foreknow.
- Rectifying the heart. It is important to have proper motivations for change, motivations that are good for the self and for society as a whole. Virtue and a moral self is the goal, and it is achieved through the integration of Jen (humanity, benevolence, perfect virtue, compassion, and love), Yi (rightousness), Li (politeness, respect), and wisdom. This will free the self from evil and provide the moral courage and the ability to be good.
- Cultivation of the person. Integrating the knowledge self (steps one and two) and the moral self (steps three and four) through self-discipline, or education, and self-improvement.
- Regulating the family. The practice of self-discipline within the family through honoring parents, respecting and caring for siblings and loving children. Understanding the weakness of those one likes, appreciating the strength of those one dislikes, toward the end of avoiding prejudice and disharmony.
- Governance of the state. A good state will provide public education, will set polices to care for vulnerable people, make policies based on public opinion, appoint and elect capable, moral people, and apply the principles of "mean" management. Good public administration should lead to the ideal harmonious state.
Confucius saw five major human relationships that should be governed by li, or propriety. Those relationships are:
- Ruler and subject
- Father and son
- Husband and wife
- Oldest son and younger brothers
- Elder and junior (friends)
Shu, or reciprocity, is seen in the five relationships as follows:
- Benevolence in rulers, loyalty in ministers and subjects
- Kindness in the father, filial piety in the son
- Righteous behavior in the husband, obedience in the wife
- Gentility in the oldest son, humility and respect in the younger siblings
- Humane consideration in elders, deference in juniors.
What's Going On Today?
Today, Confucianism is mainly practiced in China, Japan, the Koreas and Vietnam. There are over 6,500,000 adherents of Confucianism. While it was once the state philosophy in China, its popularity has dwindled drastically since the Communists came to power.
How Do We Recognize It?
There are few symbols in Confucianism.

How many times have you heard somebody say they spend all day answering emails and never actually get round to doing productive work? As a freelancer, you can't allow yourself into fall into that trap or deadlines will be missed, clients will get angry and you'll be out of work.
So how do you manage it? It's important to have an organised work schedule and this becomes ever more vital the more clients you have. A lot of people support the idea of a totally paperless office but one paper item that would be handy to have next to you is a desk diary/planner. If you jot down deadlines, routine and one-off tasks, meetings and other work related tasks all in one place, and refer to it regularly, you'll find it much easier to plan a work schedule.
It's always a good idea to make email checking the first task of the day; important information may have been sent since you logged off the day before. As with snail mail, plenty of junk mail also finds its way into email inboxes. It's impossible to eliminate this completely but you can make life easier for yourself by applying filters to inbound mail. These filters can sort your inbound mail into different categories of importance.
Unless your client specifically requires you to check emails on a continual basis, don't! Get into the habit of checking first thing in the morning, straight after lunch and last thing before you log off in the evening. Once you've got rid of the need to constantly check emails you'll find you have more time to concentrate on actually working.
A lot of people veer away from time and motion studies and yet they are an extremely valuable way of gauging how much time you should allocate to each of your tasks. If for example you are a freelance writer, you'll know approximately how long it takes you to write 500 words, or do you? Are the 500 words on a topic you know a lot about or will you need to add on additional time for research?
By having a simple timetable detailing the time spent on daily, weekly and monthly tasks you should quickly be able to plan your day so that you can fit in any extra personal matters that require attention. Referring to it will also help you when a new client comes along asking for a timeframe for a particular project.
Nobody wants to spend every waking minute of the day working. We all need time to relax and after all a lot of people turn to freelancing specifically so that they can enjoy a better work/home life balance. With a little bit of organisation, this should be possible for everyone.

Worcester, Mass. - April 12, 2019 - Behind a pair of RBI from graduate student Mark Joao (Wappingers Falls, N.Y.) the Springfield College baseball team defeated Clark, 2-0, to open a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) West Division Series at Granger Field on Friday afternoon.
The Pride improves to 15-11 overall and 6-5 in NEWMAC play with the win, while Clark drops to 11-16 on the year, with a 3-8 mark against league opponents.
Freshman Brendan Kirck (Hamden, Conn.) got the nod and pitched 3.2 innings, giving up three hits, before Zach Kerr (Niskayuna, N.Y.) came on in the fourth and went for 3.1 frames, giving up just one hit. Duncan Satterlee (Albany, N.Y.) earned his second save of the year as he pitched the final 2.0 innings, giving up two hits and striking out one.
Springfield College opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly to second base that scored Brandon Russo (Lisbon, Conn.) in the top of the first inning, before Joao laced a triple to right center field in the top of the sixth, which scored Cooney to give the Pride a 2-0 cushion.
From there, Kerr and Satterlee were able to keep the Cougars offense at bay as the Pride sealed the 2-0 win to open the series.
Next, the Pride will return to Archie Allen Field on Saturday, April 13 and will play a doubleheader with the Cougars beginning at 12 p.m.
For the latest on Springfield College Athletics, follow the Pride on social media on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Fans can also download the Springfield "Front Row" mobile app, powered by PrestoSports, on iTunes and the Android Market.
