About Us
About GHGSDR
Greater Houston German Shepherd Dog Rescue (GHGSDR) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit volunteer organization founded in 2006. We are a breed-specific organization dedicated to rescuing and rehoming German Shepherds in Houston, Texas and surrounding areas.
We are devoted to finding homes for our GSDs with people who want to continue our mission of giving these dogs a better life and a second chance.
GHGSDR is guided by three core values: dedication, integrity, and compassion.
How we operate:
Our GSDs are obtained from public shelters after they have completed a stray-hold period or they are surrendered to us directly by their owners. We strive to ensure that each dog in our care is given the love, attention, and medical care they need to thrive.
We believe that every dog deserves a second chance at a happy life. All of our rescued German Shepherds are placed in foster home while we work tirelessly to find loving, forever homes; carefully matching each dog with an adoptive family who will provide them with the love and care they deserve.
Rescuing German Shepherds since 2006
We attribute our success in rescuing and rehoming German Shepherds to our wonderful fosters, volunteers, and community.
Dedicated Volunteers
We have many volunteers who have been with us since inception, which gives us stability and a sense of history. We also have newer volunteers who bring enthusiasm and new ideas to our group, which is essential for us to continue our mission.
Collaboration
As volunteers, we all hold different jobs in our actual lives. We are not professionals in animal behavior, training, or health, but we work closely with local veterinarians, trainers, and other animal welfare organizations to ensure that our dogs receive the best possible care and support.
Community Support
We are thankful for the generosity of our community that we rely on to help us continue our work. Whether it's hosting meet and greet events, donations, fostering, volunteering, or adopting one of our dogs, there are many ways our community shows up to support our mission.
