Founded in 1996, German Shepherd Rescue is a state licensed, 501(c)3 non-profit organization that rescues German Shepherd dogs in need. We are a volunteer based organization committed to rescuing and rehabilitating German Shepherd dogs. GSR focuses our efforts on shelters in the Chicagoland area. We provide medical care and training support to our dogs in foster care – all of which is funded by donations.
The first step in our adoption process is to complete an application. You will receive a confirmation email once your application is submitted. The adoption application applies to all available dogs in our rescue. You will be contacted by a volunteer of the rescue ONLY when we have a dog available that matches your requirements. If you do not hear from a volunteer, that means the rescue does not have a suitable match currently available for adoption. All applications are kept on file for 3 months. If a volunteer contacts you regarding your application, a meeting with your family and the dog in our rescue will be arranged. References checks and a home visit will be completed prior to finalizing an adoption.
