Montana German Shepherd Rescue - Adoption Application

Mission Statement:

To find caring, loving, permanent homes for surrendered, abandoned or neglected dogs and puppies. Montana GSD Rescue hopes to ease the problem of the population overflow occurring in many of our shelters today. We educate the individual on the importance of sterilizing the pet and providing superior care.

We are composed of a network of foster families and are in need of finding more foster care providers with the time and commitment to provide care for these animals in transition. We also are in need of people to provide transportation for these animals. We are an all- volunteer rescue.
