My story

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

Obi lost his home due to family issues. Obi knows his basic commands. He enjoys getting out and enjoying the the sun and the breeze. He is a big guy and strong. Obi loves, loves, loves to play fetch. As long as you are willing to throw that ball, Obi is willing to run after it! Obi also enjoys splashing in the small pool we have. He is a surfer at heart!

Obi is a big guy and sometimes sees himself as “large and in charge” – he becomes over protective of his owner. For this reason, we believe Obi needs to be placed in an experienced home with no children. Our volunteers are working with Obi to set limits and provide the structure he needs.

Since Obi believes is the “cat’s meow” – there are some strong male dogs that he can take issue with. However, he has no issue with females.

Obi is good on the leash and knows his basic commands. Recently, Obi had a chance to play in the snow with some of our volunteers. He absolutely loved it!

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.
