Knight is a gorgeous boy who has known trauma in his life. While playing frisbee, he fell into an empty spa and broke his back! We were heartbroken when we heard this news and made room in our lifeboat for him. Knight has spent time in rehab determined to overcome this injury. His triumphant return shows his spirit and true GSD-like determination. When this boy decides he is going to achieve something….he shows true grit until he does.
Knight can walk, run and jump now – but he really needs to keep all 4 feet on the floor. You see – Knight truly believes he can fly! But, we all know he can’t. He needs a loving family who will care for him and not let him get hurt again.
Knight walks about a mile each day but mostly loves to play with his toys. He admits he may have a bit of ball OCD but knows he’s cute enough to carry it off. This boy is strong and is loves to play tug of war with his ball too.
Knight has gone through a lot in his short live and needs to be the only dog in the family. He knows he is one incredibly intelligent and handsome guy. He firmly believes with a dog like him in your life – you don’t need anything else.
Come meet this boy and fall in love.
Check out his latest video where you can see his happy and bouncy self. Knight is ready to find a home and family who will love and cherish him. He has lots of love to give and deserves a safe and loving home.

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.

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.
