Redwood Coast German Shepherd Rescue is dedicated to the rescue and placement of sound German Shepherd dogs (and mixes) in their forever homes, where they will be loved and cherished as a member of the family. Our volunteers take the time needed to understand each dog’s needs and temperament so that placement is matched appropriately with an adopter(s). Owner surrenders may be accepted, but only as space permits, as shelter dogs at risk of euthanasia remain our first priority.
Adopting from our organization adds to the close-knit family of German Shepherd owners, who are intermingled with each other similar to the deep rooted system of the Redwood trees.

Currently, our efforts are concentrated in the Santa Cruz mountain towns of Los Gatos, Boulder Creek, Brookdale, Felton, and Ben Lomond, and extend down to the Monterey Bay, as well as various other surrounding areas. Our coverage area may expand depending upon available volunteer resources. Other considerations will be given on a case-by-case basis.
Additional adoption info
We will make every attempt to complete the approval process as quickly as possible. However, the time frame for doing so is dependent upon the adopter’s availability and our volunteer availability. We ask for your patience, as we are an all-volunteer organization.
