German Shepherds in Northern California Shelters

Note: this page lists only a few of the many GSDs and GSD mixes available in Northern California animal shelters. For a more current, comprehensive listing, please see the "Shelter Dogs" page of German Shepherd Rescue of Northern California's Website.

Most of the information on this page is obtained from the Website "Petharbor.com." This is an excellent database Website of dogs in animal shelters throughout the U.S. If you are searching for a particular breed of dog, you can sign up for a free 30-day "subscription" to Petharbor, whereby you will receive daily listings of your specified breed (if present) at the shelters you have specified. Petharbor.com is also an excellent way to monitor specific shelters for a dog you have lost.

If you see a dog on this page that you're interested in adopting, please call the respective shelter immediately about it. Time is of the essence at shelters, including some SPCA facilities. If a shelter is overcrowded or a dog displays any signs of sickness or aggression, that dog could be euthanized very quickly. By law, California animal shelters are only required to keep a dog or other domestic animal four to six days (depending on hours and days of operation) after the day it is received at the shelter before they have the option of euthanizing it.

GSRSV has not seen or evaluated the dogs on this page (with occasional exceptions). We list the dogs to assist in their timely adoption or rescue. Please be advised thatthere is a high degree of turnover at shelters and we can not guarantee the availability of any of the dogs. We recommend calling the respective shelter to see if the dog you are interested in is still available before going to the shelter.
