About

German Shepherd Rescue of Central Alabama is an all volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit, 'No Kill' rescue organization. We rescue German Shepherds out of shelters and from abusive situations. We take in abandoned and stray dogs, and we take owner surrenders as space allows. All dogs are neutered or spayed, current on shots and have tested negative for heartworms before they are placed in their forever home. These dogs are kept in private homes and will be shown by appointment only to APPROVED applicants. We do our best to help out any German Shepherd dog in need (primarily in the state of Alabama); unfortunately, we have limited space and finances. It takes time and money to get most of our rescue babies up to good health and full adoption status. We also help people who are having problems with their German Shepherds. We would like to help owners work through the problems rather than have to give their dog up.

Travel Arrangements to view dogs and/or to pick up adopted dogs are the responsibility of the adopter. Not every application we receive is approved. If you're not approved for the specific dog you applied for, please understand that it means we feel another home was more suitable. Your application goes on file.

In the rare instance that two or more approved applicants are interested in adopting the same dog GSRCA shows the dog to the applicant who submitted their application first.
