Rescuing and re-homing
German Shepherd Dogs throughout New Jersey and neighboring areas.
Welcome to Garden State German Shepherd Rescue
Garden State German Shepherd Rescue (GSGSR) is a foster based rescue relying solely on volunteers opening their homes and their hearts to these unwanted German Shepherd Dogs (GSD). Most of our dogs come from other rescues, pounds or shelters and were facing euthanasia due to overcrowding.
Once a GSD enters our program, they receive all necessary medical attention, ranging from updating vaccinations to intensive surgical care, if necessary, and everything in between. We always do what is best for the dog in our care and get them healthy before adopting them out to their new home.
We also provide an owner referral service where GSGSR works with the current owner to provide a new, loving home for their GSD. Owners keep their dogs until our team is able to find an appropriate adopter. We do not have a facility to kennel dogs and rely on owners and fosters.
Mission
To rescue and re-home German Shepherd Dogs in throughout New Jersey and nearby areas.
Garden State German Shepherd Rescue (GSGSR) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization made up entirely of volunteers, dedicated to the rescue and care of German Shepherd Dogs in the State of New Jersey.
GSGSR is not a shelter; nor do we have our own facility. As volunteers, we house our rescue dogs either in foster homes if available, or board them at kennels until they can be placed into a permanent, loving home.
German Shepherds are not suited for everyone. We are familiar with the type of home and family best suited for this breed. Our application and home visit process ensures that we are placing these dogs in the homes best suited to them.
