F. A. I. R.
FAIR is a nonprofit corporation founded in April, 1996 by a group of Pima County Animal Control (PACC) volunteers who recognize that limited space and funds mean that adoptable animals often run out of time at PACC before they find a good home. FAIR is in existence solely for rescue and adoption of as many of those animals as possible. FAIR does not accepted unwanted, homeless or stray animals from the public. FAIR adopts healthy, adoptable animals from PACC when these animals are in risk of being put dow n. After they have been spayed or neutered by PACC at the currently contracted clinic, FAIR places them in foster homes until they are adopted. FAIR is a no-kill organization; animals stay with us until they find homes.

Escondido Humane Society
Escondido Humane Society does not have a mandatory euthanization guideline - in other words, the animals that are accepted are not necessarily "put to sleep" if they are not adopted after a set amount of time, or because of standard criteria like age or m anageable physical challenges.

We carefully evaluate each animal's temperment, physical condition and age, administering medical treatment wherever necessary in order to provide loving healthy animals to people who wish to adopt them.

German Shepherd Rescue Referral (GSDRRH, Inc.) of Houston
The German Shepherd Dog, as a breed, has helped humankind in more ways than any other; as police dogs on patrol, putting their lives on the line time after time to save their human partners, and often making the supreme sacrifice; as drug and bomb detection dogs; as protection and guard dogs; as guide dogs for the blind, and service dogs for the physically challenged; as the world's pre-eminent search & rescue dogs; and of course, as wonderful herding dogs. Most of all they have been loving, loyal companions to those of us privileged to share their friendship and love. How sad then, that when a Shepherd is lost, abandoned, or abused and most in need of human protection -- "man's best friend" is left very much on its own. That is why we have formed a PACK of people with a shared mission -- to protect, adopt out, care for and keep German Shepherd Dogs safe from harm whenever possible.
