Who We Are
German Shepherd Dog Rescue Group of Georgia, Inc is a licensed non-profit rescue
organization established in March 2004. Our organization is incorporated and licensed
by the state of Georgia as an animal shelter/rescue. We are also recognized as a 501c3
charitable organization.
Our mission is to find loving permanent homes for abandoned and surrendered purebred
German Shepherd Dogs in Atlanta and the surrounding areas.
Our rescue does not have a shelter facility, instead we utilize volunteer foster homes
to care for our dogs until their adoption.
The dogs featured on this site are in foster homes all over the greater metro Atlanta
area.

Adopting a new Best
Friend
All
our dogs are examined by a
veterinarian, up to date on their vaccinations, checked for heartworm disease
and either spayed or neutered prior to adoption. All
of these dogs have spent time with their foster families training to learn basic
commands as well as leash walking. Almost
all our dogs with the exception of young puppies are housebroken and crate
trained.
For all our dogs, spending time in a foster home rather than a
shelter allows
for socialization of the dogs with new people and other dogs. This helps us to
understand the dog's personality and temperament. Knowing and living with our
foster dogs on a day to day basis allows our foster families to determine what
type of home would be best suited for their individual foster dog.
Our foster homes have no more than one, sometimes two foster
dogs at one time, so our
dogs do truly live "as part of a family". All our foster dogs also spend a
minimum of two
weeks, usually more in their foster home so they can be observed for any
undetected health or behavioral problems as well as get adjusted to "family
life" again.
A
$200
adoption donation is requested primarily to
offset the costs of providing veterinary care and sterilization for our rescued
dogs.

Volunteers Are Needed
All
Our organization is made up of volunteers from all over the metro Atlanta area and
other parts of Georgia. Our volunteers offer their time and resources to help these
animals. If it were not for the dedication of volunteers, many more German Shepherd
Dogs would lose their lives in animal control shelters needlessly.
Won't you please join us?
We are in need of volunteers to assist with fostering, transporting, evaluating and
fundraising for our dogs.
If you are interested in volunteering please complete our online volunteer application
Donations
All
Since we are a non-profit organization we rely solely on individual donations, pet
adoption donations and fundraising activities to defer the costs of
veterinary care, food and other items needed for our dogs.
Our organization is recognized as a 501c3 charitable organization which allows for
donations to be tax deductible.
We are always grateful to accept donations of large dog toys, blankets, collars and
leashes, kennel crates and food.
If you would like to make a donation of any of these items please email for
directions/pickup.
If you would like to make a cash or check donation please email for our postal mailing
address.
We also accept secure check or credit card donations online via Paypal.
