2021 German Shepherd Rescue of Northern California

We are dedicated to the rescue and welfare of German Shepherd Dogs. Our volunteers help foster and adopt dogs to willing homes. Please help us in our efforts, for their sake.

“Every dog has a story, how it ends depends on you...”
Our homeless furry friends are in desperate need of a loving and caring home.
If you cannot adopt, any act of kindness while they wait, will change their lives forever.

Foster Homes Needed

Not all of our rescue Shepherds are lucky enough to go directly into a foster home; some have to start in a kennel. Every rescue dog must be in a foster home before it can be adopted. In a foster home it will experience the love, care, and attention it needs and deserves while it is waiting to be adopted and we will observe the personality of the dog to help place it in the best possible forever home.

YOU can foster a German Shepherd Dog! Our network of rescue volunteers is there to help you with advice, and Rescue pays for the care of the dog including food and authorized veterinary expenses. Won't you consider fostering a German Shepherd who wants a second chance at a happy life? Fostering is a very rewarding experience, not only for you, but for the dogs too!

Spotlight

Blizzard M.

Blizzard is a young GSD mixed with something adorable. He is a perfect size to fit in with most any family.

Blizzard was noted to be very timid at the shelter, once out of his kennel, however, we found him to be happy, engaging and playful.

Blizzard shows no signs of resource guarding and loves to play with toys, and will help himself to any he finds. Seems to want to shred stuffed toys so better to be cautious with what he plays with.

Blizzard is playful and full of energy, and very strong for his size. Once he has burned off some energy though he is loving and affectionate, and not at all stingy with kisses.
