Abby416,
There are at least five German shepherd rescues in the southern CA area and between the rescues less than half the German shepherds in county animal shelters are saved. The rest are killed.
German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County as almost 80 up for adoption.

Many blessings to all how help the cali dogs. My husband and I spent a small fortune over the last 4 years rescuing them as fast as we could...we’re taking a long break right now - it’s a nightmare down there.
