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!

Keia
Update 07.28.11: Keia is now one happy girl, she is glad she was saved and she LOVES everyone! When you call Keia she bounds toward you with pure joy and wiggles up to be petted. It is so wonderful to see such a transformation and shows what a resilient and nice girl she is, and what a great family dog she will be!
Keia is a classic-looking Shepherd girl who was dumped at the shelter by her family. SCGSR rescued her on the day she was scheduled to be euthanized--and Keia was still looking for her family as she walked to safety. German Shepherds are renowned for their big hearts and loyal natures, and Keia is an exemplar of those traits. Sweet, affectionate, and lovely, Keia will bond strongly with her new family. She's in desperate need of some good food and stability, and she'll return love with love. Keia just arrived to SCGSR, and we'll update her bio as we get to know her better.
Please Sponsor Me! Help SoCal Rescue save lives!
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.
