Support Rigby’s Road to Recovery! Here at Windy Acres Shepherds, every dog we raise becomes part of our extended family—even long after they’ve gone to loving homes. One of our beloved shepherds, Rigby, who was placed with a wonderful family years ago, recently had a frightening encounter—she was bitten by a venomous snake. Thanks to quick action and excellent veterinary care, Rigby is making encouraging progress.
While she’s not completely out of the woods yet, the latest update from her family is full of hope. Her strength and spirit are shining through, and we’re optimistic about her recovery. Rigby’s journey isn’t over, and her family is doing everything they can to support her healing. If you’d like to help, your donation can make a real difference in covering her ongoing medical care. Thank you for being part of our extended Windy Acres family and for keeping Rigby in your thoughts.
Thank you for your compassion and support.
— The Windy Acres Shepherds Family
Windy Acres Shepherds is located in the beautiful area surrounding Cresco, Iowa in the northeast of the state. This is south of Rochester, MN, southwest of LaCrosse, WI, and northeast of Des Moines. We are very proud to live here and raise such wonderful dogs as the German Shepherd.
We are breeding our shepherds to bring back what I call the “Old Time German Shepherd” that are loyal, trusting, and to be the wonderful family member I remember growing up. Producing pups that are smart, straight backed with large heads, big bone with protective but not aggressive temperaments. Our pups are healthy, outgoing and are handled every day from birth on. Raised with family in mind. We have standard, plush and long coats that are black/red, black/tans and occasionally solid blacks. They leave here with a written guarantee of health, hips and elbows.
