Welcome to Second Chance German Shepherd Rescue
After more than 20 years and over 4000 foster dogs,
Mike and I still have a passion for helping these magnificent German Shepherds.
Our goal, as always, is to find the perfect match for each dog and each adopter.
Visit us to say hello or find your next dog.
All the best,
Dez Murray, President
