Animal Shelter details for German Shepherd Rescue Please visit German Shepherd Rescue and adopt a homeless pet
You have reached the shelter page for German Shepherd Rescue. German Shepherd Rescue is located in skokie, Illinois. If you have information to add or update for German Shepherd Rescue, please click here and let us know.
German Shepherd Rescue is a growing group of volunteers committed to creating a second chance for German Shepherd Dogs that, for many reasons, are in need of new homes. GSR is a state licensed, NO KILL animal shelter based in the Chicagoland area. We are a 501(c)3, non-profit organization. Our income is derived from adoption fees, private donations and fund raising activities; all of which goes to care for the dogs. Marianne Perlman is the Rescue Coordinator for the group and is, herself, a volunteer. Other volunteers are involved in different aspects of the rescue effort, from foster care to home and shelter visits to phone calls. Since the beginning of GSR in 1995, we as a group help about 100 GSDs a year to a new and better life.
All dogs must be current on shots, checked by a veterinarian and evaluated for personality and temperament prior to entering our program. Upon completion of the 'Dog Personality Profile,' a processing fee of $35.00 per dog will be assessed. Checks are to be written to German Shepherd Dog Rescue, Inc.
Each potential adoptive home must complete a 'Foster/Adoption Application.' The intending adoptive home will initially foster the dog prior to the adoption process. This allows the family and the dog to experience a "getting-to-know-you" adjustment period. Each home and family are evaluated so the best possible placement can be made in the dog's best interest. Printed information about the German Shepherd dog is available to anyone who wishes to know more about the breed. It is highly recommended that first time owners familiarize themselves with the breed before fostering a dog. Also, we have an extensive training list that is available to anyone who may request assistance in this area.
