Vegas Shepherd Rescue was founded in 2012 and remains the only German Shepherd Rescue in Southern Nevada. We are an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in good standing. VSR is committed to rescuing and caring for abandoned, surrendered and abused dogs. We consider this commitment a privilege and are passionate about sheltering and comforting our rescued friends until the right homes are found. Our organization is comprised of a group of dedicated individuals from all walks of life who share a common bond and passion for the breed. The welfare of our dogs is of utmost importance to our group and volunteers. We dedicate our time, money and resources to provide medical care, behavioral training and safe and caring shelter until their forever families are found. We fly under the banner of the German shepherd breed, but we also help other working dogs such as Dutch shepherds, Belgian Malinois and German shepherd mixes. We realize we can’t save all dogs from abuse and neglect, but we are never going to turn our backs on the ones we can help.
If one of our available orphans tugs at your heartstrings, please fill out our Adoption Application. You must be approved to adopt before you can meet our dogs. All applications require a home visit in order to be approved. Adoption fees vary with each dog and range from $125-$400, with $350 being the price for most. Adoptions fees are used not only to rescue and place the dog you are personally adopting, but to aid in the future rescue and rehabilitation of other deserving dogs. Adoption fees are necessary; without fees, our rescue efforts would quickly come to an end.
