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. 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!

Venus
My name is Venus and I was born in August of 2009. I am a German shepherd (yes I am) mixed with lab. I am a real sweetheart and very smart. I am a little shy at first but LOVE people and other dogs.
Please hurry and call before my foster mom and dad fall even more in love with me. I am a great family dog. My only request is that I bring my Binky Bear with me. It's one of my favorite toys. Another thing I love is the hose when my foster family waters. I go ape (so they say) and try to chase down the water. I also recently went swimming in a lake and had no problem getting in the kayak. The ski boat was fun too. Anything to do with water is fabulous.
I might be shy at first until I get to know someone but then I'll be kissing up a storm! I really love to be a part of the family and play with other dogs. I am ready to go home!
• I really love to please
• I am so easy to walk-perfect on a leash
• I am house trained. No mistakes.
• I know how to sit, stay, down and go to my bed
Venus is one of Juno's puppies. Juno and her eleven tiny babies came to Southern California German Shepherd Rescue through a plea from the shelter. Animal control officers had gone to a deserted home at the request of neighbors, and found a young German Shepherd abandoned and starving, trapped in the yard. They also found that she had 11 tiny babies, no older than a day or two. SCGSR volunteers took Juno and her babies in to raise them and bring Juno back to good health. Juno and her babies' saga have been streamed live at Ustream.com since they first entered foster care. We've had puppy lullabies, puppy bedtime stories and puppy naming ceremonies live on camera! Juno and her puppies were a web sensation!

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.
