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.
(3179)

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 existing 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.

SHELTER SHEPHERD OF THE WEEK:

Each week, GSROC features a dog in a local public shelter that is in desperate need of rescue. Our rescue is FULL and we cannot squeeze in one more dog, but we want to use this platform to share a special dog with our followers and adopters. Please hurry to the shelter to save this dog's life as time is of the essence. WE HAVE NO ADDITIONAL INFO---so please contact the shelter directly to learn more. Don't wait--very healthy, adoptable dogs are being killed due to lack of shelter space.

Bernard is a lovely gentleman, age 5 years. Sadly, he was returned to GSROC when his owner became seriously ill. Bernard has grown up in a loving home and has very nice manners. He has an affectionate personality and simply wants a place to feel loved and safe.

Bernard likes other friendly dogs and he is housebroken. Please take a second look at Bernard---he's quite a catch! See more photos at gsroc.org and apply to adopt him.

Aimina is a gorgeous sable German Shepherd with a winning smile. She was rescued by kind people who feed feral cats in the high desert....Aimina crept out in search of food and the rescuers were able to scoop her into their car and reach out to GSROC.

At age 2, Aimina is regaining her strength and stamina. She is a happy teenager with energy and spirit. If you are looking to REALLY make a difference for a special dog, please consider giving Aimina the love that she has never experienced. See more photos and apply to adopt her at gsroc.org.

Located in SoCAL. Will you please comment and SHARE? The more views that she gets, the more opportunities she will have! Thank you for caring!

Banksy is a 6-week-old little fellow, we believe part labrador. His momma is a gorgeous purebred German Shepherd. Momma dog, Delilah, gave birth in a scary public shelter, but a team of rescuers ensured that the family would be saved. Banksy will be ready for adoption in mid-December. He is a darling little fellow who loves to play with his siblings!

6-week-old Birdie and her siblings were born in a scary Los Angeles animal shelter. Their momma dog did her best despite the daunting circumstance. Thanks to our sister organization, Pryor's Planet, Birdie, her 4 brothers and her momma dog, Delilah, are all safe and receiving great care. Birdie is learning so many new things about the BIG world around her! Currently, she has beautiful hazel eyes, which may change as she matures. We hope not! She will be available for adoption in Mid-December. Please visit gsroc.org to complete an application.

Located in Southern CA. Will you please share, share, share to help her find a wonderful home?

1-year-old beauty queen OPHA was found tied to a fire hydrant in Los Angeles. She was the victim of a divorce, in which neither party could take her. Somehow, one of her owners gave her to an unhoused person, who ultimately left her to fend for herself. Thankfully, wonderful animal lovers intervened and Opha is safe with GSROC. She has very nice manners, she is not wild and crazy but she does have high energy like any teenaged shepherd. We were told that she lived with a child in the past, but we will see what she thinks when meeting new people.

Opha deserves stability and safety and love for the rest of her life. See more photos and apply to adopt at gsroc.org. Will you please share, share, share her story? Thank you!
