Great Northwest German Shepherd Rescue of Oregon

We are a 501 c 3, nonprofit German Shepherd Rescue organization based out of Lake Oswego, OR. We save German Shepherds from being destroyed at high-kill shelters in SoCal, transport them to the Northwest, and try to place them in local foster homes while they await their adoption and forever homes.

Rescue FAQs

We are a German Shepherd rescue organization serving primarily Oregon and SW Washington.

Additional adoption info

Our tax-deductible adoption fee is dependent upon the dog available for adoption, usually ranging from $450-$750 depending primarily on the dog's age and past training. We have an adoption questionnaire for each applicant to fill out as well as an adoption contract for successful dog/owner matches. Adopters preferably will have a fenced area for the dog to play in and be able to spend a great deal of time with their new German Shepherd.
