When little Manchita came to us from America, she was just two years old. Her owners had turned their backs on her and surrendered her to a shelter in Los Angeles. There was a good chance she would have been euthanized. Debbie Cravatta, an Aiderbichler from America, also brought us numbers with rescued dogs that made us shudder. In the LA area alone, out of 14,590 dogs taken in, 8,407 were euthanized in 2011. Gut Aiderbichl wanted to create awareness among people by taking in Manchita.
