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!

Gypsy
Update 02.28.12: Our cute little Gypsy is back with SCGSR! Her family couldn't keep her and she's living it up with her foster mom. This is some lucky family's great fortune! Gypsy is just adoreable and has that independent Akita personailty we love, but in a compact size. Apply to meet Gypsy today!


SCGSR recieved a plea from the San Diego shelter. Little Gypsy had come in with a sibling, who was adopted. Gypsy was somewhat shy at first and needed more socialization, she would shake when in new situations. SCGSR came to Gypsy's rescue! She spent her first week going to work with her foster mom and being cuddled and played with all day long! Gypsy is super sweet, loving and playful. We feel she'd do better in a quiet home, meaning mature or gentle children. We are guessing that Gypsy is a shepherd/Akita mix, but that could be a wild guess. Only one thing is certain, she's adoreable and you will fall head over heels in love with Gypsy!

  • 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.
