Golden State German Shepherd Rescue
is a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in the Central Valley of Northern California
Our mission is to find loving homes for German Shepherd Dogs in need of a second chance and to educate the public about this highly intelligent and versatile breed.
Most of the dogs in our program come from Central Valley animal shelters where they have run out of time. We place them into foster homes to assess their needs and gives us time to fully vet them. And then we find perfect fit adopters throughout Northern California..
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.
