I highly recommend K9 services, German shepherd rescue Inc. I have not only adopted one wonderful shepherd named Dexter, but also came back and adopted another named Audi. This company is in my opinion the best company I’ve ever encountered for German shepherds to be adopted. The owner is what makes it the success that it is for these German shepherds. It’s not just a business for her. It’s heartfelt. The medical care some of these rescues needed and received and the transformation is unbelievable and close to a miracle. These German Shepherd’s adoptees are always ready to find their forever home when posted for adoption. Some of her dogs were actually adopted by the police department and have become k9 police dogs.
I am so impressed by the head of this organization because she helped me and my personal WGSD who was very ill for 4 years because of over vaccination. It was quite an ordeal for us. But she helped calm me and direct me towards healing my girl's immune system. For that I will be forever grateful! She is now helping me through a private adoption since we recently lost our 11-year-old GSD. She's a great person and truly cares about the rescue & the dogs.
Great nonprofit. Nila is dedicated, caring, and puts all of her energy into saving and rehabilitating as many shepherds as possible.
After our GSD passed, our George B. Adams was depressed and lonely. I searched for a new sister for him. K9 Services GSR had recently pulled an older female from a high-kill shelter with heartworm disease. After going through the thorough application process we were able to meet Misty with George. They hit it off and we adopted a wonderful GSD to be a part of our family. We treated her for heartworm with the meds provided by the rescue and she successfully got rid of the heartworms. Once adopted, the rescue is still there for you if you need them to answer any questions. Misty was a great companion for George and a wonderful addition to our family. I highly recommend this rescue! Stephanie
I donate to K9 Services German Shepherd Rescue because they are all about this beautiful breed. The org has the dogs in the most capable hand to love, evaluate and find the best furever homes for them.
I have nothing but praise for this organization. I had come upon a scared pup and they were nothing but love for this pup. They took her in, got her settled and after a few months they put her on the adopters page. She found a wonderful home with a couple who had adopted a pup from there a few years back. Really a great organization!!
We adopted Zeke and Abby from K-9 services. We appreciated that Nila took the time to ensure my husband and I were the appropriate fit for each GSD. And thankfully we were! Zeke was a member of our family for 11 years until he peacefully crossed Rainbow Bridge and Abby was a member of our family for 9 years until she peacefully crossed Rainbow Bridge. We miss them immensely! When our hearts heal, we will go to K-9 Services and Nila again for the next member of our family! Thank you Nila for blessing us with our family!

They never say no and take any dog in need. They understand the needs of every animal and work very hard to help each one and find the perfect home for them.
Wonderful rescue Nala is very caring and a great trainer as well she has a passion for these furbabies and screens for just the right adopters I have followed her for over 10 years in my opinion she is the best rescue in our area!
K9 German Shepherd Rescue Inc.
They are a kind, compassionate group that know and understand the personalities of this beautiful breed. We love their training methods and their helper Rory (Irish Setter dog).
The staff and Foster families are very caring.
Would definitely adopt from this rescue.
Amazing German shepherd rescue! Follow them on Facebook and watch all of there amazing work! My family is waiting for the chance to adopt from this amazing organization! I cannot thank them enough for all of there work , the love and care they give these animals!
I got my pup from K9 rescue and they did such a wonderful job to make sure we were the right fit. I’ve followed them on Facebook in the years since and have seen all the great work they do to rescue German Shepherds and adopt them to loving families.
I've grown up with this breed and in my 57 years on this planet, Nila is one of the best to work with and to rescue these marvelous dogs. Her dedication, passion and compassion go unsurpassed.
This organization is devoted to the care and search for forever homes to all the pups that come their way. The passion to place the right dog in the right home is obvious. I adopted a GS shepherd from K9 and it was a rigorous process. I sent pictures of my property and every room of my house. We met and interacted with Buddy while Nila observed how we enjoyed each others company. K9 Services is passionate about the care of the dogs.
We adopted an amazing German Shepherd from K9 6 years ago. They rescued our Alfie from a kill shelter where he was already over the deadline. They took him in and nursed his many health issues from being homeless for some time. Once he was stronger and ready to meet his forever family, his behavior was vetted for food aggression and his behavior around other dogs and people. We were lucky enough to be selected to meet him and determined to be a good fit for him. We were given a 5 day trial period to make sure it was a good match. After 1 day we knew he was going to complete our family. We feel blessed we found this rescue and our amazing Alfie. You can tell this isn’t some job for the owner but rather a calling that she pours her heart and soul into. She has a dedicated volunteer group that helps find, save and transfer dogs from everywhere. I would highly recommend this rescue to anyone looking for a German Shepherd.
Thank you for all you do in the community of Green Cove Springs, FL. The transformation of the Shepherds that come into your care is nothing short of a miracle.
Amazing rescue that provides quality care, socialization and training to rescued GSD. Adopters must go through a review to ensure the family understands the breed and the home is right for the pup.
This place is the best I have ever dealt with. Nila is so dedicated to the Recuse of GSD's and is so compassionate towards the dogs and people who rescue them. I have one we got from her and he is so good with us! Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!
My husband and I have had the privilege of adopting our 3 beautiful German Shepherd rescues from K9 Services German Shepherd Rescue after first, inheriting 2 dogs from my late sister-in-law (who also rescued a total of 3 from this same organization), and then adopting 2 more to keep our last remaining German Shepherd company. Loki, Lilly and Bailey love each other dearly and we have this wonderful organization to thank for our precious pack. Nila Walden Hughes, the owner, is exceptional in her preparation of the dogs for adoption and her detailed profiles of each dog are unique and so helpful in deciding if a particular animal will be a good fit for your home. We are so thankful and grateful for the work done by K9 Services German Shepherd Rescue and would highly recommend them. No matter where you are located, it's worth the drive!
I've adopted two dogs from K9 Services and hopefully another soon. These dogs are thoroughly temperament tested and potential adopters are made aware of any issues. The dogs are not put up for adoption until they have been vetted and ready for their new family. I totally trust this rescue to provide the right dog for me.
Nila has a great understanding of this wonderful breed and evaluates each dog, provides training if needed and carefully chooses the best fit for dog and adopter. I have followed her for years.
We had a wonderful experience with K9 Services German Shepherd Rescue when we adopted our boy and have had the pleasure of fostering many puppies over the years…so much fun!
We discovered Nila and her agency years ago and adopted our beloved Shepherd, Fritz. It was clear that she is very knowledgeable, serious, committed, and caring with regard to these dogs. Fritz is no longer with us, but we have continued to follow Nila through the years. The amount of care, time, and energy she expends upon these beautiful animals is simply amazing. Even when she’s exhausted, sick, and overwhelmed, she continues on and provides anything and everything necessary for these pups. We will be visiting Nila soon as we are preparing to adopt once again. And we would never consider going anywhere else.

We adopted our beloved German Shepherd 11 years ago from this organization and I try to steer as many people as possible here as a result. I have been following the rescue all these years, and have contributed to its well-being because there is so much love, attention, care, medical attention if necessary, and the proprietor Nila is all in. She gives her all to these beautiful creatures and when the time comes to adopt another I will absolutely come back to see her. I encourage anyone who wants a German Shepherd to eschew breeders (back yard breeders, anyway) and to consider adopting from this established, top-notch organization. You will NOT regret it.
K9 Services German Shepherd Rescue is absolutely amazing! Nila puts her heart and soul into the rescue, and it shows. We're so thankful we were able to adopt two of her rescued dogs and can't imagine our life without them. Nila does a wonderful job boarding our boys, and they love being there.
We adopted a wonderful dog from Nila & K9 Services GSD rescue and continue to support her rescue. She continually demonstrates how to run a rescue the right way.
We highly recommend her for those considering opening their home to a German Shepherd.
Ro & Adrienne Adams.

We are so greatful to K9 services German Sepher Rescue for the care they have given to our 11 year old German Shepherd. Saber is a big part of our life and we would never trust his care to anyone but Nila Walden-Huges. The care she gives to rescued German Shepherds is amazing. She also makes sure the rescues go to caring and responsible individuals
K9 Services German Shepherd Rescue is wonderful. The owner is amazing and is a miracle worker. Applicants are screened carefully and dogs are carefully placed. We were turned down initially because we did not have a fenced in yard, but later we put one in and we’re able to adopt. It was the best thing we could have done. I I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this rescue.
Great with our German Shepherd when we board her there. Nina is great with the rescues she takes in and really cares for them. I would recommend her to anyone.
I have known Nila for over 20 years. She loves and cares for her dogs and the people who get them.
I recommend K9 Services German Shepherd rescue for anyone.
My husband and I have had the pleasure of adopting 2 dogs from K9 Services German Shepherd Rescue in addition to inheriting 2 dogs from my late sister-in-law, that she adopted from K9 Services German Shepherd Rescue prior to her unexpected death. The dogs are fully vetted, given up to date vaccines, neutered/spayed and receive basic training. Nila takes the time to get to know each dog and provides a good profile to match a dog with the right prospective adopter. Her love for this amazing breed is apparent in everything she does. As an adopter, you feel totally supported during the process. We recommend this rescue wholeheartedly to anyone looking to add a loyal, loving, intelligent and devoted animal to their life.
This rescue has helped so many German Shepherds! Nila has the ability to connect with even the most scared dogs. She makes them trust and they learn to love Shep camp and her pack. Then she is very selective about finding them their forever homes. Many go on to do police work! I highly recommend this rescue!

I have seen so many awesome German Shepherd Dogs rehabilitated, rescued, and rehomed by this wonderful organization. Nils really knows how to train these marvelous creatures and she nurtures each one as if they were her very own. She also is very careful about adoptions, making sure the right family/dog relationship is a match.
While I am out of her area when I encountered a question about my rescue, they went out of the way to assist me. Big thanks.
Awesome Rescue!!!! This Rescue takes in so many pets from kill shelters and from other places that have to be transported. They have the most beautiful house they live in. Imagine that!
Their very own people size house!
The best !
I've adopted 2 dogs through K9 Services German Shepherd Rescue. The dogs received the highest level of care prior to me adopting them, and Nila was there on-hand during and after the whole process. They really care about their dogs and the families they're placed with.
Wonderful group of people doing all they can to ensure GSDs are rescued and placed in appropriate homes that match the dog’s and families’ needs.

Great organization that is truly dedicated to helping the german shepherd breed. The president of this rescue puts her animals before herself and continues to do all she can for the dogs even when things are really tough and not looking like they are going to work out. Dogs are rehabilitated and put in loving homes where they can become part of a family, or on to work as a service/working dog. I will continue to volunteer and help out with this rescue as much as I can!! Love all the wonderful fosters and volunteers, and all the supporters!
This rescue does an extraordinary job of of making the Sheps feel like they are living in a home rather then a kennel. I have been following her for many years and watched her immerse herself in the lives of these rescues till they find there forever homes. God Bless her
K9 services German shepherd rescue inc is a great place .Nila has help so many shepherds find forever homes and she works with these dogs to make sure they are Rehabilitated and she matches them with their perfect family and forever home .
I love this rescue and I have enjoyed helping out when needed and playing with the rescued shepherds
Wonderful caring non profit that helps connect the rescue with the family. Helped me to get my gsd Willow and helped me to help her acclimate to her new surroundings and new family. Always helpful after the adoption to help with concerns I had.
Very loving and caring facility. Nila cares for each rescue as if he/she was her own. Then after adoption she acts like a proud parent when she gets updates. We're so happy to have adopted through K9 Services German Shepherd rescue.

This rescue is amazing! Nila works her magic on displaced German Shepherd and then ensures they go to great families. We adopted Zeke in 2009 and Abby in 2011 from K-9 Services. They also vacationed there when we went on vacation! Awesome nonprofit organization!

We adopted 2 shepherds from K9 Services. They were both vetted, spayed/neutered, housebroken, and knew commands. Nila has a deep passion for GSDs and it shows in her superb care and incredible work with them. She takes in displaced shepherds, loves them, helps them to heal, and then finds the perfect family for each shep.
When I was looking for a potential dog for adoption that I could train as a service dog, this organization was right there explaining which rescue had a temper close enough to what I was looking for. I have been a fan of them ever since. Seeing them rescue the shepherds, giving them such an opportunity to rehabilitate and know how to be loved, while also seeing the pain and suffering she endures if something goes wrong, leaves you with no option but to support, love and endorse them. These rescued shepherds are not a number, Nila treats each and every one in the unique way they deserve, giving her all to better the dogs quality of life and matching them with the right family to succeed.

I have known this non profit for years, from when I was looking to adopt a GSD to be my service dog and can only say great things about K9 German Shepherd Rescue. Seeing these dogs finally have a chance at true love is amazing and while it angers me to see what these poor animals endure prior to arriving to shep camp, it also gives me hope to see people come together and do good as well.
Definitely a non-profit worth all of the support available!
I have adopted two wonderful German Shepherd's from Nila. She’s always been great to deal with, and her focus is on finding a happy home for the dogs.
I have adopted two dogs from this organization and fostered countless others. I've been on the property more times than I can count. These dogs are extremely well cared for and get the best vet care. Each potential adopter is thoroughly reviewed to make sure each dog goes to the best home for them. Everything is done in the dogs best interest only.
Excellent Rescue that becomes friends and family with the adopters. The care for animals and the knowledge is what sets them apart. I am a 2 times adopter and a lifetime supporter. ❤
Nila is the most dedicated human I have ever known. She can take a broken spirit of a shep and with love and patience and experience put that dog back together and give the shep literally a new leash on life. GOD BLESS HER AND K9 SERVICES GERMAN SHEPHERD RESCUE!!!
If it wasnt for the love and compassion that Nila Walden-Hughes has for all animals I wouldn't have my best friend. Sadie.
This rescue not just saves dogs it helps save people’s too who need a loving dog to help them . The sheps that come to this rescue with behavior problems, or anxiety will also rehabilitated . I love that this rescue will travel miles and miles to save shepherds from being euthanized.it has been my pleasure watching all
Of the many , many shepherds find forever homes over the years
The rescue is a blessing to all animals and the director is a caring and loving individual that devotes their entire life to makeing life better for the breed. The dogs are in a better place and go through a tranformation into a better life, of unconditional love. This rescue cares about the animals, but also cares about the people. I can't speak higher of a more deserving cause. Thank you for all the do for the animals!
We volunteered for K9 and did fostering with them. We ended up being a "foster" failure, and adopted our beautiful Heidi girl from them. They are a wonderful group. They know more about German Shepherds than anyone I've ever met, and work hard to rehome the dogs to the right place.
This is truly an Amazing Organization.. The President is a true Blessing to and so Wonderful with these Shepherds... Honestly can't say enough Amazing things!! We have adopted here and continue to Donate Always...
Fantastically run by a woman who has a true grasp of german shepherd behavior. More care and concern than any rescue I've encountered in decades. As a german shepherd owner and former owner of a boarding and training facility this rescue is hands down the best.
I've always loved the German Shepherd Breed and found K9 Services German Shepherd rescue when I moved to Florida and was ready for another Shep. Nila's does extensive work with the dogs she takes in, she doesn't let let rehome until they are ready in all aspects. Many of her dogs go to police departments.
I can't say enough good about the work done at K9 Services German Shepherd Rescue Inc. I'd highly recommend supporting this rescue
Nila is so in-tune with her rescues and truly cares about their well-being. She's patient and kind and works incredibly hard to reassure the dogs in her care. She is diligent with finding them the perfect forever homes, and bettering the lives not only of dogs, but people, too.
Just adopted the love of my LIFE!! (See photo)This organization works miracles for the Sheps that come into rescue as broken (physically mentally and emotionally) dogs. The hard and dedicated work that this organization puts into each and every dog (and even cats!) rescued is evident by all the happy human smiles ,doggy tail wags and sloppy wet kisses seen in so many pictures and videos.
Nila runs the best German shepherd rescue. You know what you will get. She thoroughly tests out each dog. Knows of any issues and makes sure you know. All dogs are healthy and very happy at k9 Services. All dogs only go to a thoroughly checked adopter. She trys to make sure that each placement is a forever home. Nila really knows what she is doing and knows Shepherd breed very well. Can't recommend K9 Services enough
We have adopted our Sam from this group. Wonderful people. We also fostered a number of senior dogs. A great group to work with.
I have followed and supported this GSD rescue for many years. I have seen first hand the love, care, and nurturing of many rescue dogs that needed help. I often recommend them when I find a GSD in need. Nila has received a totally emaciated dog and rehabilitated it. Her rescues learn very quickly that they are safe and loved.
My GSD is a rescue from this organization. I found the process very thoroughly conducted. The President does a home inspection and also does a behavior analysis of these rescued dogs in order to assure the proper placement and therefore increasing the rate of success of the adoptions that take place. It does take a little while to complete the adoption, but that is to assure the proper fit or each family and each K-9. The President is always available and expects updates on the progression of the acclimation of the dog to the new home. She is available for consultation and advice on making the process easier to all involved. She is very knowledgeable and very reputable. I will continue to adopt from this organization.
this is a wonderful rescue that saves and rehabilitates german shepherd dogs in need. the president is truly focused on saving as many of these magnificent dogs as she possibly can. I have personally witnessed the transformation of several of her rescues and it is an absolutely amazing thing to be a part of!
My dog Zoe was surrendered by her former owners to this Rescue. She is an amazing dog and I am so happy I could get her. This group does an AMAZING job saving German Shepherds who have been abandoned, picked up as strays and left at high-kill shelters. They get them back to health and adopt out to families who can provide the love and care these wonderful animals lacked in their past.
