Trina & FriendsK9 RESCUE

German Shepherd rescue · All volunteer · 501(c)(3)

We heal hearts, one dog at a time.

We rescue sick, injured, abused and neglected shepherds — the dogs other rescues pass over — and match each one with a family that will love them for life. When you adopt, you don't just get a new family member. You join ours.

Three ways to save a life

Adopt

Every dog is vet checked, fully vaccinated, spayed or neutered and microchipped before going home. We help match the right dog to your household.

Foster

The more committed foster homes we have, the more lives we can save. Fostering gives a dog time to decompress, heal and learn to trust.

How fostering works →

Donate

Your gift pays for vet care, surgeries, transport and the emergency pulls that save dogs hours before euthanasia.

Video: Max playing with his family

Max

An 11th-hour save from euthanasia. He arrived underweight and defeated — now he's living life to the fullest.

Video: Oakley at 10 months home

Oakley

Pulled from an emergency euthanasia list with hours to live. With time and patience, he learned to play and trust.

Amira

Hit by a car in Azerbaijan, she landed at JFK "with passport in paw" — and found her forever mom.

"They take on cases no one else will."

— Erica M., rescue supporter

Every foster home means another dog saved.

We can only pull as many dogs as we have homes for. Could yours be one of them?
