Adopt a Dutch Shepherd in California

Dutch Shepherds are alert, agile, and intensely focused working dogs with brindle coats and high drive. They appear in rescue when owners aren't prepared for the breed's working intensity. With a job to do and an experienced handler, a rescued Dutch Shepherd is a remarkable companion.

California has one of the largest populations of rescue dogs in the United States. The state's warm climate means many rescues operate year-round, and major metro areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego are home to hundreds of rescue organizations.
