Welcome to NVGSR

Napa Valley German Shepherd Rescue operates in the heart of Napa Valley in California. We have helped pair hundreds of German Shepherds with their new, loving owners.

We are a 501c3, charitable, volunteer, foster based organization that serves Napa and surrounding communities. We believe there is more to rescue than getting the canine out of the shelter. We don’t strive for quantity of rescues, yet quality.

We take our role and responsibilities seriously to not only try to prevent additional German Shepherds from entering our over crowded shelter but also assist with training for those who are considering re homing or surrendering due to behavioral issues that can be corrected. We advocate for the breed in neglect and cruelty cases and educate the public about this loyal working breed.

We work along with other non profits, veterinarians and pet groomers to fulfill our mission of rehabilitating and rehoming.

Help these incredible German Shepherds by fostering, adopting or donate now.

What Adopters Are Saying…

The team at NVGSR truly have a love and passion for rescuing and re-homing the dogs they come across. We had such a great experience with them that lead to us finding a perfect addition to our family. They are a small, but well run group and make every effort to find the best and most appropriate home for each dog they care for. Thank you NVGSR!

Napa Valley GS Rescue is the absolute best! They helped me find my forever boy! They were very diligent about finding the right home and the right fit for both of us! We had a meet and greet first and then a home check to make sure the home was safe for him! They are the most wonderful and caring people ever! So thanks again for giving me the chance to give this guy the life he deserves and for him bringing such joy to the home!
