Serendipity German Shepherd Dog Rescue

Serendipity German Shepherd Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home German Shepherd Dogs that have been abandoned, abused, or neglected. Located in St. Louis, Missouri, we strive to assist dogs across the entire Midwest. When our program reaches capacity, we collaborate with other German Shepherd rescue organizations to help transport dogs to safety in their facilities. We do not operate a shelter facility. Instead, our rescue dogs are placed in foster homes throughout Missouri and Illinois, where they are treated as family members until they are fully vetted, evaluated, and matched with new families. These foster homes play a crucial role in assessing each dog's needs and personality to ensure a suitable adoption. Upon entering our program, each dog undergoes a thorough examination by a veterinarian. They receive vaccinations, deworming, spay or neuter surgery, microchipping, and testing for heartworm disease, with treatment provided if necessary. We also address any additional medical needs specific to each dog. Our adoption fees help cover a portion of the costs associated with this high standard of veterinary care.
