My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

3 year old Clover came to us with some past trauma that has left her fearful with new people and new situations.  She has begun to come out of her shell thanks to our volunteers who worked with her to establish trust.  She now likes to meet new friends, but will still move slowly while building up trust.  She clearly believes patience is a virtue and all good things are rewarded.

Clover loves attention and also loves to play with toys.  Going for walks?  Exploring the park?  Clover will be right by your side. However, this girl also is happy to lounge around and watch TV if that is what her people feel like doing.  She is just happy to spend time with you.   She would dearly love an adult home where she can be the only doggy princess.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The process begins when you complete an online or in-person Adoption Application. The information that you provide allows us to learn about your expectations and experience level so that we can help you choose the right canine companion for your family. Completing the Application does not obligate you to adopt a dog from us, nor does it ensure that your request will be approved. Please note that due to the logistical challenges and our limited resources, we do not adopt dogs outside of the Southern California area.

Once you submit your Application, an experienced Adoption Counselor will contact you to talk to you personally. From there, we will schedule a Home visit to help you to ensure that the environment is safe for a curious, intelligent, large-breed dog.

Because we are funded entirely by donations, at the time of your adoption, a tax-deductible donation (minimum $350 + $25.microchip fee) will be requested. These fees will go 100% to assist the dogs in need. There are no paid staff members.

Go meet their pets

At any given time, we have more than 75 purebred shepherds in our care. Ages range from the youngest puppies to distinguished senior dogs, with the most common ages being 2-3 years old. We typically have all colors of shepherds to choose from, from the traditional black and tan, to pure black shepherds and bi-colors, to all- white purebred shepherds. Volunteers work hard to match prospective adopters with the dogs that best meet their lifestyles, experience levels, and needs.

Please check out our web site at www.gsroc.org for the location of adoption events and fundraisers that we will be attending throughout Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Diego counties.
