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.

The story of Maggie's Rescue
NEW 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.
