German Shepherd Rescue Central Texas
Our Mission
German Shepherd Rescue of Central Texas strives to save German Shepherds and German Shepherd mixes from neglect, abuse, and premature death. We give rescued dogs a chance to have the good life they deserve through rescue, adoption, referrals, and behavior counseling. We do not sell dogs. We adopt intelligent, sensitive beings into homes where their personalities and potential will be valued.
German Shepherd Rescue of Central Texas is a non-profit organization run by volunteers and all dogs are in foster homes. We are able to adopt dogs in the Austin Area, San Antonio, Houston, and Waco. We are unable to approve adoptions beyond our service area.
Equipment and supplies are purchased using the personal funds of our volunteers, or are donated or purchased using contributions and adoption fees. All dogs are spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, and current on heart worm prevention and flea medication at time of adoption.

We place our dogs into the most suitable home according to their temperament and needs. It is not unusual for multiple families to be interested in the same dog at the same time. We commend your desire to save a rescue dog!
