Bay Area German Shepherd Rescue

Bay Area German Shepherd Rescue (BAGSR) is a 501(c)(3) 100% volunteer organization funded by donations. Their team is made up of dog lovers who give up their time to find loving forever homes for dogs. The team has fostered and saved over one thousand German Shepherd Dogs!

A vibrant dog park bathed in sunlight features abundant greenery with mature trees, offering ample shade for leisurely outdoor activities. In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.

Most of their dogs come from shelters where they have been abandoned. Some come from owners who, no longer able to care for them, give their dog to BAGSR to find a loving forever home.

Each dog that comes into the program is carefully evaluated and then placed into a foster home. No boarding kennels for these dogs!

When you apply to adopt a dog from Bay Area German Shepherd Rescue you will go through an adoption process where BAGSR can learn more about you, your experience and your lifestyle. Their goal is to offer you a service wherein you find your perfect dog.

Many adopters decide to volunteer and help more of the dogs. It’s a rewarding activity (no matter how big or small your role) that you know helps the dogs as well. Some prefer to donate. Every dollar BAGSR receives goes for the dogs.
