While we are a German Shepherd rescue, we will never turn a blind eye to dogs in need.

There are countless reasons we may rescue non-German Shepherd dogs at risk of euthanasia. The two most common scenarios occur when a German Shepherd and non-GSD come into the shelter together. The second most common is when a German Shepherd is placed into a kennel with a non-GSD - we call those "kennel mates" - and both are at risk of euthanasia. We never leave a friend or kennel mate behind!

In addition to viewing them on our website here, we frequently have adoption events across Virginia. Our fosters will bring their SSR foster dogs to these events as they are able. Keep an eye on our social media to see which dogs are attending events near you!
