Our Mission

Training Rescue Dogs, Inc., is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and re-homing of homeless German shepherd dogs. The rescue will re-train and rehabilitate dogs who have been abandoned in shelters, surrendered by their owners, and who have been victims of abuse and neglect. Without intervention by a rescue, many of these dogs have little or no hope of adoption and most likely will be euthanized. After dedicated training these once discarded dogs are transformed from poorly behaving dogs into model canine citizens.

Adoption Policy

Adopting a dog is a serious, long term commitment for the life of the dog. Training Rescue Dogs strongly encourages anyone thinking about adding a canine member to their family to do the necessary research and be prepared for this commitment. Training Rescue Dogs will work directly with a prospective adopter providing individualized attention and support in order to help find the appropriate dog for your family and lifestyle. We also suggest you take the time to read through the many resource documents on our website to prepare yourself for the many things that adoption will bring! Training Rescue Dogs welcomes the opportunity to work with prospective adopters to find the best "fit" and help both adopter (s) and dog become a family. Training Rescue Dogs will work directly with a prospective adopter providing individualized attention and support in order to help find the appropriate dog for the family or individual’s lifestyle and interests. Training Rescue will provide as much information on each dog›s history, disposition and health as is available. Training Rescue wants each of our dogs to find the most appropriate home, not just any home.
