We adopted a female german shepherd from German Shepherd Safe Haven last summer. Not only was the organization extremely professional to deal with, but they sincerely care about making sure that the dog and family are a good fit. They also continue to follow up after the adopotion to make sure both owner and dog are happy. The dogs available for adoption are cared for in foster care and are well taken care of and socialized. They were a pleasure to deal with and I would recommend German Shepherd Safe Haven to anyone looking to adopt a German Shepherd.

German Shepherd Safe Haven has consistently provided me with everything I could want and much more in the process of adopting my beautiful dog, Daisy. I was apprehensive about rescue organizations, as I had been told many seek to place dogs in any home without considering whether the situation is a good fit. Tom and Jen from GSSH worked with me through a series of steps to make sure everything was okay, from a trial boarding period all the way through finalizing the adoption. I continue to call them today with any questions I have, and they always promptly come to the rescue! I know they love their dogs very much and settle for nothing but the best care and service for them, and their clients.

After volunteering for and adopting from several rescue organizations over the past ten years, I have been so impressed by the way Tom and Jen run GS Safe Haven. They really take the time to get to know their dogs before making them available for adoption - for a potential adopter, this is a DREAM! They take the time during the adoption process to make sure that the right dog is going to the right family. We adopted Frasier from GS Safe Haven last summer and he is one of the best dogs we have ever had the privilege to know (and love). Not only are Tom and Jen with you every step of the way through the adoption process, they consider you part of their family afterward - everything from advice to training to babysitting. If you are looking to add a german shepherd to your family, go to GS Safe Haven - you won't be sorry.

We adopted our beautiful German Shepherd Cassie from German Shepherd Safe Haven in May 2011. We had talked to other rescue groups, but they all just seemed interested in how quickly they could place a dog, and not if it was the right fit. Jen and Tom really did things differently, and we were so impressed. After talking to us on the phone, they brought Cassie to meet us at a park near our house, to see how she reacted to our family and us to her. We have a cat and wanted to make sure the animals got along, and Jen and Tom brought Cassie to meet our cat to ensure things went smoothly. They also did a thorough home visit, and then told us to take a few days before making a final decision. They were so professional in all their interactions with us, and so caring with the dogs in their rescue. I can not recommend them enough.

Tom and Jen helped us get our beautiful German Shepherd, Gretchen in October, 2011. We saw Gretchen on German ShepherdSafe Haven's website when we were looking for a dog. They reviewed our application, met with us, checked our references, and paid a home visit before placing the Gretchen with us. Jen had been fostering Gretchen and told us all about her so we were prepared when we adopted her. I email Jen every few weeks with updates on Gretchen. We had the best possible experience with German Shepherd Safe Haven. Tom and Jen truly care about their dogs and the families who adopt them.

I was looking for a german shepherd that was just right... and I found her at German Shepherd Safe Haven. Not only did I find my dog, but I found friends and a support team from this adoption. Other rescues did not go the "distance" that Tom and his team did to evaluate the dog, research my history of dog experience, my references, home environment, etc. to be sure of a perfect fit. "Shawnee"( aka Kennedy ) and I are happily learning about each other since Tom brought her to me. She came with a new dog kit of food, toys, leather leash and all her medical records. They stand behind each adoption in that they will even come and dog sit for me if needed! They are like family now!

German Shephard Safe Haven is amazing! We would highly recommend them. After we lost our family pet of 14.5 years we did not want to get a puppy from a puppy mill and found them on the internet. They saved our adopted dogs from a kill shelter that keeps them less than 10 days. They were wonderful in arranging a time and location for us to meet our potential new puppies. They were just as concerned that we were a good fit for both the puppies and our sake. They helped arrange their final vacinations and addressed all our concerns in a professional, kind and caring manner. When we had a behavorial issue with one of our puppies (we ended up adoping a brother and sister), they were there to support us. Our experience with them could not have been better. They are saving dogs lives on a daily basis and we can't thank them enough for our new additions! Please help support this organization if you can.
