My story

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

11 month old Candy is an adorable girl who found herself alone and unwanted at a public animal shelter. Due to shelter overcrowding, her life was in danger, so GSROC stepped in to save her.

Candy likes other dogs and is always ready to make friends. She loves to attend adoption events and meet new people. Our volunteers are working with her to help her learn important puppy skills.

Please remember, as sweet as Candy is, she still needs training to develop into the adult dog everyone will admire. She deserves to find a family that will be dedicated to continuing her training and socialization.

Please remember, while puppies are very cute and endearing, they need training, love, and patience to become wonderful adults. They are cute and cuddly but also full of energy. It is a lifelong commitment and one that needs to be carefully thought out. As cute as they are – puppies demand a large investment of time, patience, and training. They are inquisitive, have endless energy and get into just about everything.

PLEASE NOTE: PUPPIES ARE SHOWN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. THEY DO NOT COME TO ADOPTION EVENTS. PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION AND A COUNSELOR WILL CONTACT YOU DIRECTLY. THANK YOU!

Please go to our website and complete an adoption application at: /https://www.gsroc.org/application/ An adoption counselor will contact you to go over your application and assist you in determining which dog may be best for your particular situation.

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.

The other 50% of our dogs come from high-kill shelters where they have been forgotten or relinquished by their former owners.
