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!!

Alice is a tiny package of puppy adorable. At around 9 weeks old, Alice appears to already have some basics. She will sit nicely for attention, enjoy yummy treats and look for direction.

Alice is just under 12 pounds with a beautiful puppy soft coat and gives me the sweetest puppy kisses. Loves dogs and people and feels very comfortable when she's held in your arms.

She's got four resident fur siblings from 3-13 years old and does well with them all. She's also started crate training. Being so young, she still needs to go potty during the night (has basic potty training). This girl is well balanced, unarguable very cute and fearless. She's curious, playful and wicked smart - and adores her toys.

This girl is looking for a best friend!! We're taking applications for this sweetheart. She's a real treasure and absolutely adorable.

Alice will be waiting in Newcastle.

Zoey is a gorgeous, energetic German Shepherd puppy looking for her fur-ever home! This loyal and loving pup is the perfect companion for someone who leads an active lifestyle. Whether you’re hiking in the mountains, jogging through the neighborhood, or playing fetch at the park, Zoey will be right by your side, tail wagging and ready for adventure.

Zoey is incredibly smart, knows basic commands such as “sit”, “down”, “shake” and is eager to learn even more. She thrives on mental stimulation and loves a good training session. While she has plenty of energy to burn, she also enjoys downtime with her favorite humans, happily curling up at your feet after a busy day.

Zoey would do best in a home where she has space to run and play.

If you’re looking for a loyal, smart, and active companion, Zoey might just be the perfect fit.

Zoey is a courtesy post and will be waiting in Reno Nevada.

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. This handsome dude is with Search Dog Foundation. They are an excellent organization and back their dogs for life. Check out their program.

Ramsey is a 5.5 yr old big handsome boy who is friendly with everyone he meets. Don't let that fool you though, as he's the typical GSD and will alarm bark to let you know someone is there. Ramsey is a sweet and affectionate boy and likes to be with his family. He's active and ready to do whatever you want to do, even if it's chilling out at home.

Ramsey loves to play fetch and 'most of the time' will bring it back and drop it for another round. He can be a little stingy sometimes but a second ball works great. Ramsey has shown some mild resource guarding (growling only) and will need an owner that understands him. He has never bitten and we believe this is something he learned that 'worked' for him in the past (bluffing to get his way maybe).

Ramsey would prefer to be an only dog. He does ok around other dogs on leash however he doesn't really like them in his face and will let them know that. Dog parks are not his place, too many unrulies for him. He walks well on leash, has good house manners, and knows his basics.

Ramsey has met several local kitties and with proper intros with a dog savvy cat, he could be ok with them. Ramsey loves hanging out with his people and will make a great companion for the GSD savvy owner. He's hanging out in Santa Rosa - come say hi.

Marchesa is a friendly and social 4 year old female Malinois who loves being around and meeting people. She has great house manners and picks up on new things quickly, does really well in training.

She doesn’t have the intense working energy that some Malinois are known for, so is the perfect fit for someone who enjoys an active but balanced lifestyle.

She walks well on leash, does great on car rides, does well with dogs (needs some work), but no cats for her.

She's affectionate, eager to please, and ready to bring joy and companionship to the right home!

Marchesa is a Courtesy Post (based in San Jose).

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 very sweet and gentle male GSD-mix puppy (6-7 months, 65 lbs) and is the perfect balance of playful & calm. He gets along with dogs (he's a bit scared of the rough ones) and has just been curious about the kitty.

He's a big, goofy puppy that is looking for an active home that will train him, take him places (he loves car rides) and teach him all about the world. Once he is older, he would make a great running partner.

He is great meeting new friends and loves everyone. He's a very fast learner and quite treat motivated (yay for training). He knows a few basics already but would love to learn more.

Looking for a loyal, smart, and sweet companion that's ready to start his new life? Come meet Kota. He's currently wating to meet you in Santa Rosa.

Jackson is a 15+ month old male (80-85 lbs) who is super sweet & handsome, gets along with dogs, loves his people (still learning to meet strangers), does well in the car & crate, has great recall, and is eager to please.

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.

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!!

ADOPTED

Mabel is a very gentle & affectionate 6-year-old girl. She came to us from the shelter system with hair loss and a little elephant skin from fleas and some old cysts. We removed the cysts and treated her skin and gave her lots of love and that's all she needed to look like she does today.

Mabel loves meeting people and making new friends. She gets along well with other easy going dogs and she takes naps with her kitty friend. She has great house manners and prefers to be inside with her people soaking up the creature comforts she's been missing for so long.

Mabel does ok on her leash (she could use a reminder about pulling but she is not reactive). She's looking for a family that would enjoy having a gentle, easy going companion that loves to cuddle with her people, watch a movie, have some snacks, take a stroll or jump in the car and go on adventures.

Mabel LOVES kids and is super happy when the neighbors have all the kids over. She’s just an all around super girl.

Holden is a 12 year old boy GSD mix that absolutely loves meeting people. He's pretty chill (says hi, hangs out for a bit and then does his own thing), and is best in a home without cats.

Holden is a gentle boy that enjoys a nice outdoor walk. He's a senior dude so some slick flooring can be tricky for him but nothing a rug won't fix. He has wonderful house manners and is not destructive or noisy if you have to step out for a bit.

Holden's beautiful grey face will warm your heart. He's waiting for his new family in Elk Grove.

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.

01/19/2025

Ari is a 2 year-old (60 lbs) GSD with just a hint of Doberman - she has a sleek black coat and brown toes (and b***y :-), is super cute, really sweet & 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. Due to her lack of socialization, she has trust issues (we understand) and some environmental sound issues (loud cars and trucks, some beeping sounds and most likely fireworks). 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 and every once in while a random person will really scare her (we can relate). Once she meets you she is fine and she remembers you. Ari selective with other dogs, doing really well with some and not so well with others. We feel she would be best as an only dog so her hoomans can devote their time to her.

Ari LOVES the water, any water, and will jump in with joy. She's a great swimmer, likes to play fetch and she's very treat motivated. Maybe dock diving is in her future!

Ari grew up with a cat so she "may be" cat workable. She also grew up with young kids, however we would not recommend kids while she is adjusting to a new home. Ari is comfortable visiting stores/places, she loves going out and about and would thrive with a patient adopter and new adventures/explorations.

We know Ari will need that calm, knowledgable person with time and a big heart for dogs like her but we won't give up. We know you are out there and we know she will be your everything - she just needs a chance. In the meantime, she will be waiting in Santa Rosa.
