GSDAR: Membership, Contribution and Support

For the benefit of homeless animals

Good Shepherd Dog Animal Rescue (GSDAR) has been established. Members, sponsors and volunteers are needed to help build a successful pet adoption agency and organization.

GSDAR is organized as a nonprofit corporation and has established high goals and purposes including: operation of a foster care and/or rescue program to save the lives of homeless dogs, cats and other animals; preventing the over-population of animals through spay/neuter programs; and helping to educate and inform the general public so as to avoid cruelty to animals and provide for the humane treatment of animals. We are a group of people who love animals and who want to help save the lives of homeless animals, to find responsible individuals to take in and care for homeless animals, and generally work for the humane treatment, adoption, rescue and care of dogs, cats and other animals.
