Southern California German Shepherd Rescue

About

Founded in August 2006, SCGSR consists of a dedicated team of volunteers. SCGSR rescues, rehabilitates, provides spay/neuter and veterinary care, and re-homes pets in Southern California. SCGSR has rescued and placed over 900 animals. Our rescues include German Shepherds, Great Danes, Poodles, many mixed breeds, cats and kittens, a chicken, and even a boa constrictor. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit located in San Diego County, we are funded through tax-deductible donations from adopters and individuals like you who care about the fate of these magnificent companions. Unlike larger organizations and humane societies, SCGSR has no paid or compensated volunteers or employees, allowing your donation dollars to go further in providing care for needy animals. We do not maintain an expensive facility, but instead are foster-based. SCGSR specializes in helping ill and unadoptable abandoned pets regain their health and placing them in caring, loving forever homes. Together, we can envision a day when companion animals will no longer face inhumane treatment, abandonment or perish in shelters.

Pets available

Adoption process

The first step in SCGSR’s adoption process is to submit an application. A telephone interview will follow and then a home check. We then introduce you to our available dogs we believe will succeed in your situation. Every situation and every dog is different; some will do better with no small children, some can’t live with cats, some need more attention and exercise than the average adopter can give. Our job is to help make the right match. Once a match is made, SCGSR stands ready to help adopters through adjustment issues.
