My story

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

Bruno is an active, fun-loving guy who needs a secure fence and an experienced home. He likes female dogs and likes people. Bruno knows many of his basic commands but training is still needed for this good looking boy.

Bruno likes to get out and about to see what is going on in the world. He has lots of Malinois energy and walks and jogs are a good way for him to burn it off He is not a fan of bicycles however and takes a dim view of cyclists riding by. Small dogs are also not on his list of favorites either. He generally is not reactive to other dogs unless the other dog initiates something. Bruno won’t back down from that but can be easily corrected. An experienced handler is what this boy needs to help him learn what is acceptable.

He does become hyper stimulated when around a group of dogs. He’s much more focused & cooperative with training, walking & commands when walked alone or at a distance from the pack. Training would be much more successful when he is away from other dogs as opposed to a group lesson

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.
