My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Kendall and her sister Kylie have experienced a lot in their short lives. A lovely woman was driving home in a rural area and spotted a beautiful puppy sitting patiently by the side of the road. The woman did a U-turn to come around to help the puppy, but by then, the puppy had slipped behind a fence and traveled up a hill. Despite her best efforts, the woman could not get to the puppy. The following day, the woman returned to the property–this time more prepared. She found an open spot in the fence and traveled to the top of the hill to find not one but two sweet puppies and an empty food bowl. The puppies were emaciated and thirsty. She scooped them both up and got them to safety. We can’t help but believe that the first puppy went for help and led the rescuer to the other, refusing to abandon her sister.

Kendall and Kylie have just arrived, so we are getting to know their personalities. They are available as a pair or individually providing that there is another dog in the adopting home. Please check back for more information coming soon!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The process begins when you complete an online or in-person Adoption Application. The information that you provide allows us to learn about your expectations and experience level so that we can help you choose the right canine companion for your family. Completing the Application does not obligate you to adopt a dog from us, nor does it ensure that your request will be approved. Please note that due to the logistical challenges and our limited resources, we do not adopt dogs outside of the Southern California area.

Once you submit your Application, an experienced Adoption Counselor will contact you to talk to you personally. From there, we will schedule a Home visit to help you to ensure that the environment is safe for a curious, intelligent, large-breed dog.

Because we are funded entirely by donations, at the time of your adoption, a tax-deductible donation (minimum $395 + $20.microchip fee) will be requested. These fees will go to assist the dogs in need.

Go meet their pets

At any given time, we have more than 75 purebred shepherds in our care. Ages range from the youngest puppies to distinguished senior dogs, with the most common ages being 2-3 years old. We typically have all colors of shepherds to choose from, from the traditional black and tan, to pure black shepherds and bi-colors, to all- white purebred shepherds. Volunteers work hard to match prospective adopters with the dogs that best meet their lifestyles, experience levels, and needs.

Please check out our web site at www.gsroc.org for the location of adoption events and fundraisers that we will be attending throughout Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Diego counties.
