We have many generous partners who have supported us with donations or offered to donate part of their proceeds back to Greater California German Shepherd Rescue. Please support them so they can support us and help save more dogs!
S.H.A.R.E.S Program
Do you shop at Save Mart, S Mart, Lucky or Food Max supermarkets? Would you like to help us save dogs at no cost to you just by buying groceries for you and your family?
Then contact us for a S.H.A.R.E.S. card! It's FREE and extremely EASY to use, just swipe it before you pay for your groceries! Save Mart will send us a quarterly check for a portion of all qualified purchases.
S.H.A.R.E.S. cards can be obtained at any of our Adoption Days, or mailed out to you if requested by email. Thank you!
December 2011 Update
Thanks to our SHARES cards users, we've received over $2100 since we started the program in February 2010, and the last quarter of 2011 has not come in yet. That's around $1300-1400 per year just by folks buying their groceries. That goes a long way towards helping to save dogs!

Light Up The Night!
Look stylish at night while walking your best friend with a leash that lights up!
The Pup Crawl Leash is the first illuminated dog leash in the world designed specifically to help shelter and rescue animals. That's why the leash is not available in stores, it's only available through non-profit organizations dedicated to bettering the lives of homeless animals. Every leash sold sends $3 to your favorite dog charity!
The Pup Crawl is a movement working its way across the country, helping local rescue and shelter organizations in 46 states to easily and quickly raise funds through the world's first illuminated dog leash. O, The Oprah Magazine has just named The Pup Crawl Lights-Up Leash to its exclusive "O List," signaling that Oprah and her influential tastemakers think that the mission of the illuminated Pup Crawl Leash is a bright idea. They most love that it is helping rescue and shelter pets across the country.
Buy an Illuminated Leash and Support GCGSR!

The benefits of a German Shepherd—loyalty, protectiveness and eagerness, to name a few—come from careful obedience training and authority. Everyone in the household must be prepared to show “authority” and earn the dog’s respect with a firm but loving touch. They do not respond to negativity or anger. Once achieved, this respect may need to be earned again and again. ~ Dogstser.com
