Southern California German Shepherd Rescue
SCGSR is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, providing spay/neuter and veterinary care, and re-homing German shepherds and other pets in Southern California. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we are funded through tax-deductible donations from adopters and individuals like you who care about the fate of these neglected companion animals. SCGSR specializes in helping ill and unadoptable abandoned pets regain their health and placing them into caring, loving forever homes. Together, we can envision a day when companion animals will no longer face inhumane treatment, abandonment or perish in shelters.

Learn how Yukon overcame mobility issuesNEW DNA TEST FOR DEGENERATIVE MYELOPATHY (DM)
New DNA test accurately predicts probability of degenerative myelopathy (DM) in German Shepherds Good news! There is now a genetic test for DM, priced around $65, which can be ordered and administered by owners through the Orthopedic Foundation For Animals --no vet appointment necessary. This test will predict with a high level of confidence if your dog (1) is likely to develop DM, (2) will not develop DM, or (3) is a carrier of DM, but will not develop symptoms.

Prior to this test (created primarily at the University of Missouri-Columbia and Harvard) DM was diagnosed only by excluding other diseases such as spondylosis or a tumor. Now, a long emotional and financially draining diagnostic process can finally be replaced with one simple cheek swab.

While devastating, a diagnosis of DM and its symptoms can be managed with proper and innovative care. Please read the article researched and written by SCGSR volunteer Pete Kunasz for more information on this devastating disease, and how to obtain a test kit for your dog. Will this lead to a day when DM is no longer a problem for German shepherds and many other breeds? We see a light at the end of the tunnel.

SCGSR currently has a large cart available to borrow in San Diego County. Email socalrescue@gmail.com.
