German Shepherd Rescue

Welcome to Golden State German Shepherd Rescue. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity and we rely on public support to rescue and re-home German Shepherd Dogs and to provide educational material about the breed and other dog issues. All donations are tax-deductible and our EIN is 26-4691009.

My name is Amy and I have been a resident here for 2 years. I work with Golden State to try to find Foster and adoptive homes for German Shepherds that we rescue from owner surrender or from shelters. I adopted one of my fosters and can tell you that both fostering and adopting one of these special dogs is a heartwarming and worthwhile experience.

Fostering is a wonderful way to help a dog in need and enjoy their companionship without making a 10-14 year commitment. Without our foster homes we could not rescue these wonderful dogs from the shelters and help them find a new home. All expenses are paid for the dog and the only requirement is love, and attending a once a month adoption event in Walnut Creek. You would be amazed at the quality of these dogs that were abandoned and end up in shelters, especially during these tough economic times.

If you think fostering may be for you, please send an e-mail to [mailto:Sugarcookey@gmail.com Sugarcookey@gmail.com], and I will contact you to answer any questions you have and go over the requirements to be a foster parent to a rescue dog.

In addition to fostering, we are preparing for our Fall Gala at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Concord. This is our major fundraiser during the year, and I wanted to reach out to the community here and ask if anyone would like to donate items or services to our silent auction, or purchase a raffle ticket or admission for our event. Advertising space is also available.

Only 2500 tickets will be sold for the raffle, and the Grand Prize is a Sonoma Getaway for 2 - complete with hotel at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn, Dinner at the Harvest Moon Cafe, Shopping at Dean and Deluca, and a tour and wine tasting at Sebastiani Winery. First Prize is a $1000 gift card to Best Buy, and second prize is a $500 Visa Gift Card.

Please e-mail me at [mailto:Sugarcookey@gmail.com Sugarcookey@gmail.com] or call 209-598-4372 if you would like to donate or to attend our event.

Thank you so much for your time,

Amy Sandy
