How You Can Help

Serendipity German Shepherd Dog Rescue (SGSDR) is a non-profit organization and as such we rely solely on individual donations, pet adoption donations and fundraising activities to defer the costs of veterinary care, food and other items needed for our rescued dogs.

Tax Deductable Donations Our organization is recognized by the IRS as a 501c3 charitable organization, which allows all donations to be tax deductible.

100% of your donations benefit our rescue dogs. All SGSDR volunteers give their time and efforts to help rescue dogs without compensation.

There are several ways in which you can help us save the lives of these wonderful dogs:

Volunteer

We always desperately need foster families who can open their hearts and homes to a needy German Shepherd Dog. If you think you could offer a temporary home (from a week or two up to a month or two for each dog) then PLEASE fill out a volunteer information form. All you have to provide is a warm bed, food and some TLC! Serendipity GSD Rescue (SGSDR) covers all veterinary and other related expenses.

Make a Contribution

Prior to adoption to their new families all our rescued GSDs are spayed or neutered along with receiving their required vaccinations and heartworm medication. Some of our dogs may also require treatment for acquired respiratory, skin or heartworm infections that can cost as much, if not more than the routine sterilization and vaccinations.

Our adoption fee does help us recover some of these costs, but you can help as well by donating to sponsor a dog for our spay/neuter and vaccination program.

Secure online payments can be made by credit card or from your checking account using the Paypal Donate button above. However, you do not need a Paypal account to sponsor a rescued dog, checks can be mailed to the address below. If you wish to sponsor a specific dog please be sure to include a note with your check.

If you would like to make contribution by check, please mail this to our registered address:
