 Welcome to SCGSR!
SCGSR is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. SCGSR's mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, provide spay neuter, veterinary care and rehome German Shepherds in Southern California. SCGSR receives no public subsidies and is funded solely through the generous donations of our adopters and supporters. Join our family. You can help SCGSR continue its mission to save German Shepherds and place them in loving homes by making a tax deductible donation today. SCGSR is not affiliated with San Diego German Shepherd Rescue.
UPDATE 5.05.08: Poor Montana is suffering from pneumonia!
Today our wonderful SCGSR volunteers transported Montana from San Bernardino right to our vet, Dr. Tugend of VCA Main Street in San Diego. It was obvious she was very ill. We are devastated that Montana is so sick, her lungs are filled and she's on oral and IV antibiotics and fluids. Montana will likely be in the hospital for a week and we hope we can make her well. On the bright side, she is so sweet to everyone, the volunteers who transported her and all the vet techs and vets caring for her. We will do our very best to save Montana. Please help Montana pay her hospital bill, which stands at about $350 on her first day, with a week to go! She needs you so we can give her the best medical care possible! Make a donation now, any little bit helps! We hope to have updated photos of Montana and some good news to report in a day or two. Thank you all for being friends of rescue and for helping SCGSR save dogs.
5.04.08: Montana is safe!
SCGSR stepped in in the nick of time to save Montana, a beautiful young white German Shepherd/Husky mix. Volunteers will transport Montana from San Bernardino to safety in San Diego this week!  .
4.23.08: Angel and Baby are safe!
SCGSR went to great lengths to save these girls, and we want to thank our supporters and volunteers who helped. The girls are now clean and fed and sleeping comfortably together at night, awaiting that special family we know is out there to love them and help them forget their sad past. Just look at them now! 
4.21.08: Angel and Baby need your help!
We received a plea to help Angel and Baby. Their owner passed away and the dogs stayed with him until police found the man. A shelter  worker called and had to stop mid-sentence to get herself together, she was fighting tears and said she couldn’t put these sweet shepherds down.
These two year old girls are happy and inseparable, and are sweet to people and dogs. They are polite and submissive, they are healthy, and they adore each other.
SCGSR has committed to helping these girls, even though they are far from San Diego, but we need help from you, our supporters.
Times are lean for everyone and we have not been able to help as many dogs, but we just couldn't say no to Angel and  Baby. We need donations to pay for their boarding, transport and care, but most of all we need a kind and loving foster home where they can recover from their ordeal. It would be so sad to keep them in a kennel after what they've been through. Please contact us right away if you can help, or make a donation now!

 I need a foster home!
When you see this message on a dog's photo or bio page, he or she is in boarding and in desperate need of a foster home. If you can help, all you need to do is send us an email. Even fostering a dog for a week gives him or her a break from the shelter/boarding environment and helps calm the dog and make it more adoptable. You can help, just click on the link and send us an email to and foster a dog!
