We are located in Southern California. GSROC is a 501c(3) non-profit organization. We only have the resources to adopt dogs to families in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
(1791)
Through a careful screening process, we place loving dogs into forever homes with compassionate individuals and families. We begin with an Application, which tells us more about an individual’s experience level, lifestyle, other pets, preferences, etc. so we can recommend dogs that best fit the home. Prospective adopters are encouraged to meet various dogs and to bring all family members and exist
ing pets to meet the dogs they are interested in. Once “the” dog has been selected, we perform a routine Home Visit to ensure the dog will be safe from any hazards, poisons, or dangerous situations. At this time, we advise the adopter if there are any repairs or corrections that need to be made prior to the dog coming home. Adopters pledge to love and care for the adopted dog throughout its entire lifetime. In the event an adopter is no longer able to care for a dog, we insist it come back into our rescue safety net for re-homing. Due to financial and logistical limitations, we do not place dogs outside of the Southern California area. Effective July 1, 2021, our minimum Adoption Donation is $370 plus $25.00 for microchip for dogs over 1 year, and $470 plus $25.00 for microchip for dogs one year old and younger. This donation (tax deductible as allowed by law) helps to offset the costs we have incurred for the dog’s care and housing during his or her stay with our group. All dogs adopted through GSROC are spayed or neutered, current on their vaccinations and de-wormed. Because the minimum Adoption Donation rarely covers the costs associated with each dog, we ask that adopters who are in a position to give additional funds do so at their discretion. We also ask our adopters to help us spread the word about the important work that we do.
Our sweet girl Sienna found her forever home! This lovely couple met her and fell in love and decided to make her part of their family!

Drumroll, please! The second dog to be adopted thru GSROC this year is our very own Angel, a stunning sable shepherd who decided that she never wanted to leave her foster family! Angel slipped right into the family and the resident dog approved. Congratulations, Angel!
Do you recognize this beauty queen? This is Lucia, rescued from a parking lot where she and her siblings had been abandoned! Someone dumped an entire litter at a shipping company and the puppies were hiding under shipping containers until GSROC rescued them.
Lucia has come a long way, thanks to the love and great care of wonderful volunteers. She is playful, happy and loves to go for walks. Lucia would love another dog as a companion as she takes her cues from leader dogs. Will you please share her story with all of your fellow animal lovers? We need this girl to find her forever family! Thank you!

Introducing Jersey, age 9 weeks! He is one of Zelda's puppies, and brother to Denim and Velvet. Jersey's foster family says that he loves to cuddle and that he enjoys having another dog to play with.

New Year's Eve fun! ZsaZsa and Ava are the white sisters rescued from the Riverside Shelter, Lorenzo was part of the Parking Lot Puppies, and Remi was rescued with her family from the hills in Temecula! Each of these sweethearts is thriving thanks to the love and support of thousands of donors across the country who make i possible for GSROC to continue our work.
As we start this new year, we want to send our heartfelt thanks to all of our fellow animal lovers who believe that we can make a difference one dog at a time, one dollar at a time and one day at a time.
Although the dogs in our care may not have homes (yet), they sure do have a lot of people who care about them! Here's what the GSROC orphans enjoyed on Christmas Day this year thanks to the beautiful work by the kennel staff! We think Pete approves of his meal. We think we have the very best team in all of rescue!
