Front Range GSD rescue is dedicated to the rescue of homeless and abandoned German Shepherd Dogs, Belgian Malinois, and Dutch Shepherds as well as other dogs who find their way to us. We do not have a facility, but provide temporary homes for our dogs in rescue. Our goal is to find well-matched permanent homes for each dog in our care. We provide nutrition information, training tips and other services to our adopters as well as the general public.

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?

No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

1. Feral Cat TNR Program

Many communities are embracing Trap, Neuter, Release programs (TNR) to improve animal welfare, reduce death rates, and meet obligations to public welfare.

2. High-Volume, Low-Cost Spay/Neuter

Low cost, high volume spay/neuter will quickly lead to fewer animals entering the shelter system, allowing more resources to be allocated toward saving lives.

3. Rescue Groups

An adoption or transfer to a rescue group frees up scarce cage and kennel space, reduces expenses for feeding, cleaning, killing, and improves a community's rate of lifesaving. In an environment of millions of dogs and cats killed in shelters annually, rare is the circumstance in which a rescue group should be denied an animal.

4. Foster Care

Volunteer foster care is crucial to No Kill. Without it, saving lives is compromised. It is a low cost, and often no cost, way of increasing a shelter's capacity, improving public relations, increasing a shelter's public image, rehabilitating sick and injured or behaviorally challenged animals, and saving lives.

5. Comprehensive Adoption Programs

Adoptions are vital to an agency's lifesaving mission. The quantity and quality of shelter adoptions is in shelter management's hands, making lifesaving a direct function of shelter policies and practice. In fact, studies show people get their animals from shelters only 20% of the time. If shelters better promoted their animals and had adoption programs responsive to the needs of the community, including public access hours for working people, offsite adoptions, adoption incentives, and effective marketing, they could increase the number of homes available and replace killing with adoptions. Contrary to conventional wisdom, shelters can adopt their way out of killing.

6. Pet Retention

While some of the reasons animals are surrendered to shelters are unavoidable, others can be prevented-but only if shelters are willing to work with people to help them solve their problems. Saving animals requires communities to develop innovative strategies for keeping people and their companion animals together. And the more a community sees its shelters as a place to turn for advice and assistance, the easier this job will be.

7. Medical and Behavior Programs

In order to meet its commitment to a lifesaving guarantee for all savable animals, shelters need to keep animals happy and healthy and keep animals moving through the system. To do this, shelters must put in place comprehensive vaccination, handling, cleaning, socialization, and care policies before animals get sick and rehabilitative efforts for those who come in sick, injured, unweaned, or traumatized.

8. Public Relations/Community Involvement

Increasing adoptions, maximizing donations, recruiting volunteers and partnering with community agencies comes down to one thing: increasing the shelter's exposure. And that means consistent marketing and public relations. Public relations and marketing are the foundation of all a shelter's activities and their success. To do all these things well, the shelter must be in the public eye.

9. Volunteers

Volunteers are a dedicated "army of compassion" and the backbone of a successful No Kill effort. There is never enough staff, never enough dollars to hire more staff, and always more needs than paid human resources. That is where volunteers come in and make the difference between success and failure and, for the animals, life and death.

10. Proactive Redemptions

One of the most overlooked areas for reducing killing in animal control shelters are lost animal reclaims. Sadly, besides having pet owners fill out a lost pet report, very little effort is made in this area of shelter operations. This is unfortunate because doing so-primarily shifting from passive to a more proactive approach-has proven to have a significant impact on lifesaving and allow shelters to return a large percentage of lost animals to their families.

11. A Compassionate Director

The final element of the No Kill equation is the most important of all, without which all other elements are thwarted-a hard working, compassionate animal control or shelter director not content to regurgitate tired cliches or hide behind the myth of "too many animals, not enough homes." Unfortunately, this one is also oftentimes the hardest one to demand and find.

Do NOT waste your time with this place - they're ridiculous. We tried and tried and tried to give a shepherd, our 4th, a loving home but they just weren't interested. And we weren't picky - while we told her we preferred a pure gsd (they list them all as gsd's but they're almost all mixed), we would look at any dog who needed a home. So I inquired about setting up a visit with a beautiful malinois on their site. Diane immediately responded with, "Oh, you don't want a malinois, they have way too much energy." Ok. Weird, but ok. I'm pretty sure we DID want to talk about a malinois but hey, you know best. So then we tried to set up a visit with another dog they have listed. She told us she couldn't place that dog with us because the shepherd we currently have (which we just recently recused from them) is two months older. Two months. I honestly thought she was joking at first but nope. Apparently dogs have to have the same birthday to grow up happily together. Who knew?? They told a woman i know they wouldn't give her a female bc she already has a female in her home. It's almost as if this place exists just to keep dogs in cages. And in case you're thinking it, no, there are no red flags even possible with us. Like i said, we had just rescued a dog from them a couple months ago so they know we provide a loving home. But when our older shepherd died suddenly, we wanted another one as we think this breed, especially, does better in pairs. We had encountered a LITTLE drama with Diane the first time around but nothing i expected to repeat itself but here we are. We have a huge, fenced in back yard with brand new grass, a brand new porch and we're 300 yards away from the dog park our dogs ('dog' now) go to at least twice a day to run and on weekends we take them to cherry creek state park to run off leash and play in the water with other dogs. We love, train and spoil our dogs to death but apparently that's just not good enough for this place. We eventually just gave up and bought a puppy off Craigslist. That's how good this place is at their job - we freaking bought a dog. A beautiful 7 week old purebred gsd for $400. Which is about what this place charges if they deem you worthy of rescuing a dog. Which they probably won't. It wasn't the route we wanted to go - we wanted to rescue a dog in need but they made that literally impossible. Look at craigslist first. There are tons of German Shepherds available there. Right now, there is a dog in a cage who didn't need to be there. We tried to rescue one. Over and over we tried. Save yourself the time, drama and frustration and look elsewhere - Front Range has no interest in actually finding homes for their dogs. PS - Take a look at Yelp. I'm far from alone in my experience with this place
