IMPORTANT-SAFETY FIRST!
For the safety of our dogs and the public, SCGSR provides volunteer orientations and training in dog handling. Volunteers who handle dogs at events are required to go through the orientation and training. For convenience we have recorded these sessions and you can watch them here. Every dog is an individual and will react to different situations in a unique manner. Although we do our best to evaluate a dog's temperament, we have not seen every dog in every possible situation. Please use caution with any unfamiliar dog, particularly around young children. Mishaps can have severe consequences for SCGSR, dogs and handlers. Always ask a senior volunteer for guidance when interacting with dogs at adoption events, dog walking, or with dogs in any situation, anywhere, where you have concerns. Remember, safety first!

Graham
Graham and Sadie were just tiny puppies when they found themselves at the shelter. They were malnourished to the point that they they had lost their fur, their little bones were soft and they had nearly every known parasite. They came in with a third sibling who had gone into convulsions and passed away shortly after arriving at the shelter.
Graham and Sadie are not German Shepherds. We have no idea where they could have come from or who would let living creatures live in starvation and agony. They had suffered so much by 7 weeks of age that they were on their last gasp. The shelter reached out to SCGSR and asked if we could take two puppies that were certainly going to be a project to get healthy.
Graham and Sadie went directly to our vet. They were dewormed. Graham did better, however Sadie's digestive system was nearly shut down and she couldn't digest her food properly. After being hospitalized on fluid therapy for three days, Sadie turned around and was able to come back to her foster home.
Both pups are now eating extremely well and with close attention to their diet they are thriving. Graham has recovered faster than Sadie and is bigger, but both are growing fast. We expect that they will be ready for their loving forever homes shortly. And if any dogs ever deserved a loving home, Graham and Sadie do!
Watch them live on Ustream puppycam!

If you would like to meet one of our dogs, please read the following information. The first step is for you to fill out our online application. This is the starting point in adopting from SCGSR. We strive to keep our website current within 24 hours. If you see a dog on our site, it is most likely available. The more information you give us about your dog experience, your home, your fence, children and other pets, the better we can do to match you with one of our dogs. Keep in mind that we may be working with prior applicants, and be patient. We are all volunteers and we will try to respond within 72 hours.
Our adoption donations are tax deductible and range from $300 up. Rescuing dogs without public subsidies is expensive. If you don't want to pay our adoption donations, please consider adopting directly from a publicly sponsored shelter. SCGSR dogs will be spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations, and in most instances they will be microchipped. To those big hearted people willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems, we will work with you on adoption donation amounts.
The adoption process involves an application, a telephone interview, a meeting with our dogs and then a home and fence check. In certain cases photos of your house and yard may be substituted for a home check. SoCal Rescue typically does not adopt puppies outside of San Diego County, so that we can provide continued support to adopters as puppies grow up. Adult adoptions out of area will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
