Welcome to the Golden State German Shepherd Rescue Group Website. We are based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

A 501 C(3) Non-Profit Organization
Golden State German Shepherd Rescue was founded to provide help to German Shepherd Dogs in life threatening situations, and to educate the public about this highly intelligent and versatile breed. Our group originated from a German Shepherd Club in the San Francisco Bay Area that began rescuing German Shepherd Dogs over 20 years ago. We feel this solid foundation of experience makes us a perfect fit for people experienced with German Shepherd Dogs and those who are brand new to both the breed and rescue. Shelters and other rescue groups welcome the aid of breed-specific rescues as they help more animals get adopted.
Our volunteers are located in the San Francisco Bay Area region of Northern California and in parts of the Central Valley of California. For the most part, we rescue German Shepherd Dogs in the Northern and Central Valley of California regions. We also adopt dogs out in the San Francisco Bay area region of Northern California and to those parts of the Central Valley in California in which we have volunteers. This helps ensure that our volunteers are available to assist our new adopters with any issues that arise as they integrate their new dog into its new lifestyle.
We believe that all animal rescue groups are equally important and we will always work hard to be a productive and caring partner within the rescue community. Rescue is not simply taking animals out of shelters; it is also providing that animal with every opportunity through health, behavioral and emotional assistance, to live out its life in a caring and loving home.
While we welcome the challenges that rescue work provides, it is not work we can do alone. We need help in the form of people and financial resources. Please consider joining us as a volunteer, a donor or in any other manner in which you feel you can help. Your participation will be greatly appreciated by us, but more importantly, by the dogs waiting for our help.
