SSR is a group of passionate people who love the GSD breed. The founders worked with another rescue before SSR and promoted rescue on social media. They wanted to personally save more dogs from more distant areas where the euthanasia rate is greater. They formed this rescue and now get a lot of dogs from high kill shelters out of state and transport them to VA, vet them and find them homes.

Fees $325 dogs under 7, $250 dogs over 7. Application fee $20. Application to adopt includes references and vet check. Must be over 18. Rentals must have permission. Home visit required.
