My story

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

Our adorable litter of eight puppies is settling into their foster homes and starting to get their names! Meet Jett, our lovely black-and-tan boy wearing the brown collar, who’s sharing his foster home with his playful littermate, Koper, the sable light-blue collar pup. The resident, wonderfully nurturing Great Dane, two young kids, and a wise cat are lovingly watching over these little ones, offering gentle guidance as they explore their new world.



These precious pups arrived at the shelter with their loving mama, and thanks to the amazing shelter staff and their mom’s care, they’ve thrived. Now that their previous owner has entrusted them to the shelter, it’s our joy to find these affectionate, brave puppies loving shepherd-experienced families. Their wonderful mama has weaned them and is now ready for adoption herself! The puppies will stay with us a bit longer until they’re ready for their forever homes. We love keeping our young pups, like these 7-week-olds, in pairs for a few more weeks—this helps them adjust more smoothly, learn how to play nicely, and practice gentle puppy manners with their siblings. Plus, the guidance from the adult dogs in their foster homes is truly priceless!



Jett is doing so well with potty training—he already prefers to go outside just like Koper! He snuggles in with Koper at night for deep slumbers. Both pups are toy lovers, playing with each other with gusto. They have terrific appetites for their kibble. 



They’re happy, healthy, brave, and smart —just waiting to bring joy to the perfect families!



We’re so grateful for everyone’s incredible response to our call for fosters! We’re still reaching out, and would be absolutely thrilled if you could say yes to welcoming more pups from shelters overflowing with sweet shepherds in need. 



Stay tuned for heartwarming updates on each pup’s story! And don’t forget to visit our YouTube channel, where you’ll soon see adorable videos of these lovable little ones in action.



Have you visited our YouTube channel yet? We’d love your support—please subscribe, like, and comment on our videos to help our adoptable shepherds shine! You can also follow us on InstagramFacebook, and our newest Threads account for even more heartwarming news and updates about our shepherds.



As a foster-based rescue, ShepHeroes is always looking for new fosters to join our caring community. There are so many wonderful shepherds in local shelters who need a second chance. Could you open your heart and home to help a shepherd find a loving family? You bring the love—we’ll handle the rest! Saying “yes” today truly saves a life. Just fill out this quick form: https://www.shepheroes.org/foster-form, and we’ll reach out right away. Thank you so much for considering it!

Additional adoption info

Since each GSD we rescue has been let down by their previous caregivers, we are committed to ensuring that their second chance is a forever one. Our adoption application allows us to find the best possible match for them and for you.

The decision to adopt a pet is an important one that we take seriously. Please take the time to read the questions and carefully complete the application. Please include full explanations with as much information as possible - this will help us with the review of your application

If renting, your landlord's consent is required to proceed with your application. Our landlord permission form is embedded in the application, and is required before your application can be processed.

As an all-volunteer rescue, we may not respond as quickly as we would like. We appreciate your patience while we work through the adoption process. Our goal is to respond to you within a week of your application.

More about this rescue

ShepHeroes is a foster based non-profit animal rescue organization with a deeply experienced team of volunteers focused on carefully placing German Shepherd Dogs into loving homes that match the dog's temperament, activity level, and needs.

Our dogs receive veterinary care and reside in volunteer foster homes while waiting for loving homes, and are altered, vaccinated and microchipped prior to adoption.

We focus our efforts on sound German Shepherd Dogs who are at risk due to abandonment, neglect, and abuse or significant change in circumstances. For the safety of our volunteers and adopters, we do not accept aggressive dogs into our program.

Our volunteers are heroes! Please join us with your time and talents to lend a hand to help our furry friends. Our needs range from virtual to hands-on tasks.

Are you interested in becoming a financial hero and supporting the rescue and welfare of abandoned shepherds? Norcal German Shepherd Rescue Inc. dba ShepHeroes is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization EIN #82-5263051, so your much-appreciated donations are tax-deductible and used solely to benefit the dogs in our care.
