About this organization
Mission
Westside German Shepherd Rescue of Los Angeles (WGSR) is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing German Shepherd Dogs, German Shepherd mixes and dogs of other breeds to place for adoption in loving homes. WGSR is focused on dogs in the Southern California area (including many dogs from rural areas in the Central Valley) either from high-kill shelters or owner surrenders where there are insufficient resources to help the dogs recover and become adoptable.

Our philosophy is to not deny a dog a second chance . WGSR has rescued over 12,000 dogs since its founding in 2002.
