Roxanne is a middle aged girl whose owner left her behind due to divorce. She developed a severe skin allergy requiring expensive medications. The remaining family members tried their best to get her treatment but the medications were beyond their financial means. Her condition has progressed to such a condition that Roxanne is in dire conditon.
Her fur is missing in patches and infected it other places due to the constant scratching and resultant irritation and skin breakdown.
Our hearts broke when we heard Roxanne’s story. We can not ignore a dog who so desperately needs our help. Can you please help us get her the needed treatment?
UPDATE: 10/14/2013 – Our vet has just notified us Roxanne’s teeth are in such horrible condition that NINE of them, including one canine had to be removed. They were broken and diseased due to the hard life she has been living. That is a LOT of teeth to lose in one day!
All donations will go directly to help pay for the vet assessment, expensive medications needed, including medicated baths and special diet needed to help restore her to her formal beauty. We know we can do this with your help!

Adoption Application If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs, you may submit an application online or via fax. If you choose to send a fax, please download the Adoption Application here in PDF format; fill it out and sign it. You can fax it to us at 714-773-9430.
Home Visit Prior to any dog going home, we do require a home visit to ensure that your environment is safe and secure. Once your home has been approved, the adoption can move forward.
Adoption Donation In light of the rising vet care costs associated with Giardia tests and boarding at vets, we are raising our adoption donation for adult GSDs to $395.00 starting on July 1, 2021
The adoption donations for other dogs will remain the same — $475.00 for purebred puppies, $375 for mixed puppies. (On a case by case basis, e.g. senior for senior, we will place a senior for $275.00 with a senior.)
This donation is tax-deductible as allowed by law and helps to offset the costs that we have incurred for the dog’s care and housing during his or her stay with our group. The minimum adoption donation does not entirely cover the investments that we have made in the dogs, so if you are in a position to give more, we would be honored to receive your additional donation. All adoption donations go directly toward the needs of our dogs.
All dogs adopted through GSROC are spayed or neutered, current on their vaccines and de-wormed. Because the minimum Adoption Donation rarely covers the costs associated with each dog, we ask that adopters who are in a position to give additional funds do so at their discretion.
