OUR RESCUE FOCUSES ON PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG BREED AND WANT TO RESCUE AND ADOPT INSTEAD OF BUYING FROM BREEDERS. WE HAVE RESCUED, VETTED AND RE-HOMED OVER 1,150 DOGS SINCE 2011, PRIMARILY GERMAN SHEPHERDS AND GERMAN SHEPHERD MIXES.
Program accomplishments
- THE MAJORITY OF THE DOGS RESCUED BY OUR ORGANIZATION ARE PULLED FROM THE HIGH KILL SHELTER IN MIAMI, FLORIDA. WE HAVE ALSO TAKEN IN STRAYS AND OWNER SURRENDERS. WE HAVE TREATED MANY OF THE RESCUED DOGS FOR THEIR ISSUES AND AILMENTS IN PREPARING THEM FOR THEIR FOREVER HOMES.
