Steve and Terry have been GSD and other dog breed owners as well as all around animal lovers since they were very young. After adopting Aries and Izzy from Montana German Shepherd Rescue in 2017 and 2018, they then decided in September 2019 to take over Montana German Shepherd Rescue. They are dedicated to rescuing GSDs. Montana German Shepherd Rescue is an all volunteer organization, run solely on donations and adoption fees. The rescue serves German Shepherds in need, with our primary mission to rescue dogs from overcrowded shelters in Montana, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, and California and help them find their forever homes. We also work with local shelters to help German Shepherds who may not be doing well in the shelter environment or have medical needs. Our rescue provides a safe haven to German Shepherds as they make their way to quality, loving homes of their own.
Our adoption process is designed to help you find the right dog for your family, while ensuring each dog is placed into a permanent, safe, and loving home. If you are interested in a specific dog or would like to be pre-approved as you start looking for that perfect dog, please fill out our adoption application. We will then contact you to begin the process, which will involve a home visit, reference and vet checks, and a meet-and-greet with your current dogs, if any. Please note that we will not set up meet-and-greets until you have been approved. All currently owned dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered if over 1 year old. Please remember that Montana German Shepherd Rescue is run by volunteers who have full-time jobs, so we ask for your patience in this process. Our adoption fees help us offset the transportation, veterinarian, and care costs of our rescue dogs. Our adoption fees are: $350 for a dog.
