Canine Pet Rescue

About Canine Pet Rescue

Canine Pet Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit animal rescue organization focusing on saving German Shepherds from high kill shelters in the South. Our dogs are housed in both foster homes as well as in our cozy 7 run kennel located on the horse farm in Dacula, GA. Occasionally, other breeds of dogs do find their way into safety with CPR, and are offered for adoption as well.  

All our dogs are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, microchipped, and on flea and Heart Worm preventative prior to placement. Each dog that enters our program receives the following basic care plus any additional care needed. 

- A thorough evaluation of temperament, an initial overview, and an extended evaluation are common before the dog can be posted for adoption. Many times a rehabilitation process takes place ranging from a minimum of two weeks or until the proper environment is located. Like children, dogs need fundamental building blocks to give them success and a sense of well being. Our rehabilitation process instills this within each dog, but occurs in different ways depending on the specific needs of the dog and the dog's background. 

- Each dog receives a health overview. This typically includes rabies, dhpp and bordatella vaccines, heartworm test, heartworm preventative (monthly), are spayed or neutered, flea and tick prevention, intestinal parasite check and microchip. 

Typically, we have anywhere from 10-20 dogs in rehabilitation status at any given time, and there are several permanent residences that help them with process of feeling comfortable.
