My story

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

Saber was born in September of 2021. He enjoys learning new things, both treat and ball motivated. He loves going for rides and new adventures His name really should've been Ryder.. He's well behaved, knows, sit, down, leave it, touch, up and shake.
He's crate trained but also sleeps on a dog bed at night.
He enjoys following us around while we're working out back then coming inside to lay around and watch his humans.
He has almost perfect obedience for his age and will thrive with a human that will continue it. He has a moderate amount of drive. Our dogs are trained to be able to co exist with other dogs but aren't allowed to jump and romp on other dogs.

More about this rescue

Our president from Napa has been saving, training and advocating for German Shepherds since 2010.

With the recent passing of measure A and the increasing amount of Shepherds ending up in our local shelter we saw the need for a community based German Shepherd Rescue.

We are a foster based rescue, this means each dog we rescue lives in our home so we can get to know them.

We believe having a foster based organization allows us to assess needs,canine temperament and most importantly what environment is key for success. We believe in Quality vs Quantity.

We have started sponsoring free obedience classes to help both the human and the canine communicate more effectively These classes are held in the summer months.

Feel Free to e-mail us info@napavalleygsr.org with questions or concerns,
