German Shepherd Rescue · All Volunteer · 501(c)(3)
We heal hearts, one dog at a time.
We rescue sick, injured, abused and neglected shepherds and match each one with a family who 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 — and we help match the right dog to your household.
Meet our dogsFoster
The more committed foster homes we have, the more lives we can save. Fostering gives a scared dog time to decompress, heal and learn to trust.
How fostering worksDonate
Your gift pays for vet care, surgeries, transport and the emergency pulls that save dogs hours before euthanasia.

Who we are
Founded on our love for the German Shepherd
Trina & Friends K9 Rescue is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) charity. We help sick and injured dogs and rehabilitate abused and neglected dogs with emotional or behavioral issues — and we work with rescue partners across the United States to do it.
Happy tails
From death row to the family couch
Bella May & Mack
Labeled "untrainable" and "aggressive" — now the best girl and the sweetest cuddle bug.
Boomer
"A happy, playful, big ol' goofball." A blessing to his family every day.
Home at last
Every dog in our care gets the time and patience they need to become a family dog.
"They take on cases no one else will. Keep up your amazing work!"
— Erica M.
Every foster home saves another dog
We can only pull as many dogs as we have homes for. Could yours be one of them?
