Bay Area German Shepherd Dog Rescue

Bay Area German Shepherd Dog Rescue We love the dogs! See much more at www.bayareagsr.org If you're here you must love German Shepherd Dogs like we do!

They are loyal, intelligent and beautiful animals and it breaks our hearts to think of them suffering or dying in shelters, or worse yet, dumped on the street. We are a 100% all volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue. We are funded through adoptions and donations from people just like you. Our hardworking and dedicated team is made up of GSD lovers who give up their time to care for and find loving

forever homes for the dogs in our program. The team has fostered and saved over 1,500 German Shepherd Dogs since we began in 2013! Most of our dogs come from shelters where they have been abandoned. Some come from owners who, no longer able to care for them, give their dog to us to find a loving forever home. The good news is that we encounter few dogs that we feel have been abused or seriously mistreated. Each dog that comes into our program is evaluated to the best of our ability. Our evaluators have many years of experience with the breed and have spent many hours learning dog behavior and language, worked with trainers, spent countless hours at shelters, etc. We strive to have dogs in our program that are people and dog friendly and we are firm believers in providing our adopters with full behavioral and medical disclosure on every dog in our program. Our dogs are placed in a foster home that is experienced with the breed or a daycare facility where they are evaluated for social skills with other dogs. Once we have spent some time getting to know each dog, we make the dog available for adoption. When you apply to adopt one of our dogs you will go through our adoption process where we learn more about you, your experience and your lifestyle. Our goal is to make a perfect match so our dogs stay with their new family and everyone is off to a good start. Many of our adopters decide to volunteer by fostering, fundraising, walking/grooming/transporting dogs or becoming matchmakers and helping more dogs find that perfect home. It’s a rewarding activity (no matter how big or small your role) that every rescue (and rescue dog) is grateful for. If you don't have the time to volunteer, you can donate. Every $ we receive goes back to the dogs as we have no paid staff. Thank you for visiting our page and thank you for caring!!

Finn is a 3-4 year old (65 lbs) handsome male Shepherd that loves to meet new people and dogs. He literally wants to meet everyone he passes He will make an awesome pal and he's always ready for the next big adventure.

He likes getting out and about and also playing tug or splashing in water (maybe dock diving is in his future). He's an active boy but will chill out in the house as well. He's great on leash and in the car.

Finn will thrive with a family that likes to go places AND chill out and watch tv sometimes. He's the whole package!!

Boone is a sweet & gentle 2-year-old (68 lbs) male who loves the company of other dogs (no cats), and is friendly with people (once he gets to know you).

He can be just a little nervous around unfamiliar faces and needs some time to feel safe & adjust (a quiet home with patient/understanding adopters would be best). A calm, confident dog sibling to play with and hang out with is really important for him.

Once you earn his trust, his goofy side comes out; he will be affectionate and actually silly.

Holden is a 12 year old male and absolutely loves meeting people, is pretty chill (says hi, hangs out for a bit and then does his own thing), and is best at a home without cats.

Also, hardwood floors can be tricky for him (due to carpal hyperextension in his front legs, but it doesn’t stop him from enjoying a nice outdoor walk).

He’ll be waiting with his foster mom in Pioneer.

Looking for some good company? https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=2183098&name=Holden

Dewey is a courtesy post for Rescue the Underdogs - he is a 5.5 yr old male (63 lbs). Dewey is located in San Mateo.

Distinguished Dewey is a jack of all trades with many talents up his paws. He'll mesmerize you with his handsome face and bring you the warm fuzzies each day with lots of tail wags and snuggles.

Easy breezy, this gentle guy makes the sweetest impression and gets along well with people, kids and pups. He'll lure you into playtime with his favorite ball and convince you to give yummy treats like watermelon and dog friendly ice cream.

Dewey is a quick learner and follows commands. With his future paw-some family, Dewey will be sure to adapt and thrive in his new forever home environment.

Lefty is a courtesy post for the Humane Society of the North Bay. Contact Jem Davis at [email protected] for more information or visit their website: https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/41110842-vallejo-california-german-shepherd-dog-mix

Lefty is a smart and handsome fellow with some great initial training, and has mastered many of the basics like "sit", "down", "stay", "wait" and "paw". He's about halfway there on "heel" and has excellent recall. We know he will thrive when he finds a family who has the time to spend with him.

Lefty can be an active dog, but he's equally happy vegging out on the couch. He makes a great camping, hiking, or running buddy, or will just sit with you while you hang out at home. His main happiness comes from being with his people. He behaves well with cats and loves other dogs, though his big puppy excitement can sometimes be too much for small dogs.

Lefty will make a great companion for a family with older children, or individuals with time to spend with him. He is looking for his forever home and has lots of love to give to the right person. He's currently in San Francisco with a foster family and available for meetups or zoom chats on request.

Kota is a sweet, gentle male GSD-mix puppy (5 months. 45 lbs) and is the perfect balance of playful & calm. He gets along with dogs (as long as they're not overly playful/rough).

He is great meeting new friends, makes good eye contact, is a fast learner and is very treat motivated (which is great with his training - he knows a few commands already).

Looking for a loyal, smart, and sweet companion?

Atlas is a 2-year-old (~95 lbs) boy GSD who loves playing ball, gets along with dogs and is doing well with the foster kitty. He loves car rides, and does well on walks and hikes. Non-leash reactive and enjoys meeting new people and dogs.

He knows basic commands, and would love an active family that can continue his training. Atlas is learning to be a fabulous companion in his foster home and we hear he is super affectionate.

Micah is a 8+ year old male (79 lbs) with a love for treats, toys, and being close to his people! This handsome, large (yet gentle) dog may have been a little reserved at first, but now he’s full of tail wags, warmth, and endless loyalty. Micah is a quick learner, has good house manners, and incredibly treat-motivated.

Micah also adores his playtime including fetch (a favorite) and walks. His perfect home would be with a loving, active person or family who can continue working on his leash training and enjoy all the affection he has to give.

With his playful, curious, and affectionate personality, Micah will be a loyal and loving companion to anyone who gives him a bit of patience and lots of love.

Micah is a Courtesy Post for Pets in Need and he is being fostered in Redwood City.

Ari is a 2 year-old (60 lbs) GSD with just a hint of Doberman - she has a sleek black coat and brown toes, is super cute, really sweet & loves attention. She is super affectionate.

Ari was adopted from BAGSR as a wee pup and returned 1.5 years later when her family no longer had time for her. We welcomed Ari back and we are working on showing her people can be trusted and there's a great big world for her to explore.

Ari can be cautious when meeting new people but once she meets you she is fine. She likes to meet other dogs and she likes to chase and be chased. Sometimes her enthusiasm is too much but she is learning her dog language.

Ari LOVES the water, any water, and will jump in with joy. She's a great swimmer. She likes to play fetch and she's treat motivated.

Ari grew up with a cat so she "may be" cat workable. Ari's fine with kids, is comfortable visiting stores/places, and would thrive with a patient adopter and new adventures/explorations.

We know Ari will need just a little time to adjust to a new home but once she does she will be your everything.

Travis is a 2 year old (69 lbs) male GSD-mix - he is handsome, loyal, intelligent, trainable, soft to touch, and very playful. He loves toys, has good temperament, is sweet, needs a bit of leash training, has a nice off switch and is very affectionate once he gets to know you.

Travis is a fine dog who will thrive in an active environment with a normal exercise routine, just nothing too high impact. He might be better with older kids, "may be" cat workable (will need a slow and supervised introduction), and could use some socializing with other dogs.

Travis will be waiting in Santa Paula CA. This is a Courtesy Post for Search Dog Foundation.

He enjoys going on hikes, swims (loves water), and fun activities - also knows how to chill with a bone & watch TV with you. Jackson would benefit from training.
