North Louisiana German Shepherd Rescue
is an
all-volunteer network of foster homes with a commitment to save pure bred German Shepherd Dogs from abuse, neglect and abandonment.
Our Mission is to rescue as many GSDs as possible from
high-kill shelters, most of whom would be euthanized without our help.
Our efforts are focused on helping
these GSDs who, through no fault of their own, find themselves in need and without
families to love.
We
are a
private non-profit charitable organization dedicated to:
- To adopt companion animals into loving forever homes.
- The establishment & coordination of a network of foster homes
in Northern Louisiana to ensure comfort & assistance to all German Shepherd
Dogs in need
-
Evaluation of temperament, beginning basic training, medical care, spay/neuter
and all appropriate vaccinations are provided for all adoptable dogs.
- To help reunite lost pets with
their owners.
- To help those who due to personal circumstances find
themselves in a situation where they need to re-home their
German Shepherd Dogs, we offer courtesy posts and
pre-screening of potential adopters.
- To encourage the formation of that special bond between
you and your dog with behavioral and obedience training.
- To create lasting and comprehensive change in human
behavior toward animals through education about responsible
pet ownership, including the spaying & neutering of
pets, and about humane & respectful treatment of all
animals.

To Adopt A
Dog from our organization, the first step is completing our online
adoption application.
 Everyone must do so before an appointment is made to
meet the dogs. Home checks and vet references are required. If you can provide a temporary foster home for
a dog waiting for their forever home, we desperately need you! Each new
foster home we can add to our network means one more life we can save! Please fill out the
foster
home questionnaire.
When Each Dog Leaves Our Care each will be up to date on vaccines, spayed or neutered,
heartworm negative and on preventative. It is our goal that they go to a home where they are
loved as a member of the family, a home where they will be well cared for and where they will receive the proper mental and physical exercise as well as the daily interaction
and affection that they need.
Two
Special Dogs with Special Medical Needs
|
Gina is a
pretty 5 year old female that was originally
a Katrina dog. After the hurricane, Gina's family never showed up
to claim her so she was adopted out to a wonderful man who loved her
to bits. Unfortunately now he has been diagnosed with cancer and has had to return her to
rescue. Bless her heart; She's been through
so much already. Gina needs hip surgery on both hips at $600
each.
Pictured
to the right, handsome Izzy, like too many we take in,
needs to be treated for Heartworm before he can be
considered adoptable. This costs our rescue about
$400 per dog.
DONATIONS
to help one or both of these dogs are so very much appreciated and
may be sent to the our rescue by clicking the Paypal button to
the left or sent directly to our vet at the address
listed.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for
whatever you can do to help.

Message From Our Founder
"The German Shepherd Dog has always been my favorite breed. Lady, my first German Shepherd, was my
best friend and guardian as a toddler. Even though I don't remember much about her, she has had a lasting effect on my desire to save this breed from the tragedy of people not knowing how to care for them or train them properly. |

German Shepherds are wonderful family pets, very committed to their home and family.
They are smart. They are an active breed, preferring to be kept mentally
and physically stimulated. This is why they have so many jobs all over the
world and are the breed preferred by many Police Departments, Military Units,
Search and Rescue, Narcotic and Bomb Detection Units, and Guide Dog
Associations.
Most of the GSDs we rescue from shelters have not been taken care of emotionally or
physically but the most common reason that they have ended up in
shelters is that their people simply didn't care enough; Did not
care enough to properly ensure their safety with fencing, to ensure
that they had ID tags or were micro chipped in case they got
lost, Did not care enough to protect them from preventable
illness, Did not care enough to provide the structure and
training to avoid behavioral problems, Did not care enough to
simply bring them in the house, talk to them occasionally and tell them that
they were loved.
These
wonderful dogs need TLC. Their desire is to be part of your family, not thrown out in the yard and left alone.
He or she is your new best friend, not to be
abandoned or neglected, but to be loved and treasured. We at North Louisiana
German Shepherd Rescue are here to help you form that special bond with your new family
member so that soon you will be telling others where you found the best dog you've
ever had."
