Why Support Us?

SCGSR is committed to saving the most needy dogs.

We rescue dogs who are injured or sick, those who only need someone to care, those who need to learn what it is to be loved, those who never had the training they needed or a soft place to rest. We mend bodies and souls so dogs can come to their forever homes whole and make successful transitions to a life of being well loved. We are a 501(c)3 charity in good standing, and your donations are tax deductible to the extent the law allows.  The number of faces you see here are limited solely by our funding.  To help save more animals, donate now.
