About Us

Who We Are:
We are a small group of dedicated volunteers who rescue, care for and rehome unwanted and abused pets. We have no physical shelter location, our dogs are typically cared for in foster homes or temprarily boarded in kennels. We would love for you to come meet a pet you are interested in at its foster home. Please fill out an
Adoption Application from if you would like to visit one of our fosters. Please contact us at shepherdstolove@comcast.net and an adoption application will be e-mailed to you.Your application must be approved before a visit is scheduled.

Distance adoptions are possible as we have access to a very reliable and low cost transport group that covers a part of the United States.

We use Patented Kuranda Dog Beds because they are durable, chew proof and easy to clean. If you would like to donate a bed to us, click here.

Our Mission:
Shepherds to Love is a small group of volunteers dedicated to saving German Shepherd Dogs (GSDs), GSD mixes as well as other shepherds from abuse, abandonment, and uncaring owners. Our dogs usually come from animal shelters throughout the country, rescued when their time is up at the shelter. Our mission is to find safe, loving, caring, permanent homes for our beautiful dogs that deserve a second chance at happiness. Our dogs will only be placed in homes where they will have indoor access and be an integral part of a family. Please keep in mind that German Shepherds are not the breed of choice for everyone, and we are committed to finding the perfect home for our rescued dogs. We provide training assistance and support after the adoption to all our rescued dogs. Our volunteers retain the right to decline dealing with aggression issues of resident pets.
