Don't give up your German Shepherd Dog without reading GSRNC's Guidelines for Placing Your German Shepherd Dog in a New Home. Also, see new links on our Help With Your Dog page.

 

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED!

Not all of our rescued German Shepherds are lucky enough to be in foster homes; many remain in kennels. We'd like to place EVERY Rescue dog in a foster home where it can experience the love, care, and attention it needs and deserves while it is waiting to be adopted.

YOU can foster a German Shepherd Dog! Our network of rescue volunteers is there to help you with advice, and Rescue pays for the care of the dog including food and authorized veterinary expenses.

Won't you consider fostering a German Shepherd who wants a second chance at a happy life? Fostering is a very rewarding experience, not only for you, but for the dogs too!

See our fostering information.
Or, call our Hotline at 1-866-SAVE-GSD (1-866-728-3473)
to talk with a volunteer about how it works.

German Shepherd Rescue of Northern California regularly adopts dogs to residents of any of 19 Northern California counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Fresno, Madera, Marin, Merced, Monterey, Napa, Sacramento, San Benito, San Francisco, San Joaquin, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Solano, Sonoma, Stanislaus, and Tuolumne. We also consider, resources permitting, potential adopters residing in other Northern California Counties. Our educational outreach extends to anywhere in Northern California. We do not adopt to homes outside of Northern California.

Rescue Dogs Available


Spotlight on: Senior dogs in our program!
There are many reasons why senior dogs (aged 7 and up) come into our program. Sometimes the dog's person has recently died. Other times the dog's family has grown, and there is simply no time for the dog's needs anymore. Recently we have had several senior dogs whose families had to move to smaller living spaces due to loss of a job.

There are also many reasons why senior dogs would fit easily into your home. Click here for The Top 10 Reasons for Adopting a Senior German Shepherd Dog.

Current GSRNC Senior dogs:

Cashar, Dantes, Rith, Melly

 
 

"Old dogs, like old shoes, are comfortable.
They might be a bit out of shape
and a little worn around the edges, but they fit well."
-- Bonnie Wilcox 'Old Dogs, Old Friends: Enjoying Your Older Dog'
