Thulani Senior German Shepherd Rescue (TSGSR) is an all volunteer organization that specializes in saving very old and/or terminally-ill German Shepherd Dogs that still have some quality life left to them, even if it is only a short time.
Fostering a Thulani dog is like fostering any animal in a rescue program. But for Thulani, it perhaps is more important because each dog we can put in a foster home instantly frees up a space for us to bring in another Thulani dog. And there are so many of them waiting for our help.
Foster homes are critical to the successful operation of Thulani Senior German Shepherd Rescue. In your home, the dog is allowed to 'decompress’ from the very stressful experience of being abandoned, usually from a long term home, and from spending time in an animal shelter. You will help teach them basic house manners, how to interact appropriately with people and other animals, and give lots of TLC.
Our fosters provide critical information about the dog’s personality, level of training, reaction to new situations, temperament, eating habits, and a host of information important for selecting the proper forever home for the dog. This input helps us to identify the best possible adoptive home, and adoption would be difficult without it.
We pay all the expenses, and the foster provides the warmth and love. And the dogs are so appreciative!

Mission Statement
The Thulani Senior German Shepherd Rescue mission is to rescue and save senior or terminally ill German Shepherd Dogs from life-threatening situations and to find homes in which they can live out their natural lives in love and comfort. A medical condition is not a deciding factor, only quality of life remaining. We commit to providing medical coverage for life, even after adoption.
Description
TSGSR is a group of volunteers whose mission is rescuing homeless senior German Shepherd Dogs (GSDs) and finding them new "forever" adoptive homes. We are a California volunteer-based 501c3 non-profit organization. Since the TSGSR organization is 100% staffed by volunteers, we rely on people joining our team and helping us save dogs. This allows over 90% of donations and funding to go completely to the betterment of rescued GSDs.
TSGSR provides temporary 'in-home' fostering and care to help the dog decompress from shelter life in preparation for being adopted and moved to his/her forever home, and if needed, hospice care for Senior German Shepherd Dogs.
TSGSR team members find German Shepherd dogs that are wonderful dogs, and due to senior age and perceived medical conditions are often overlooked for adoption via the local shelter adoption programs.
Yet these wonderful dogs still have a ton of love to give. And they can have a quality life if given a chance. TSGSR is fully aware without targeted and timely intervention these noble dogs would die alone and afraid in the shelter. Feedback from our adopters is these dogs, though they often get overlooked, turn out to be wonderful family pets.
For us, a medical condition is not a deciding factor in accepting a dog into our program. To this end, we commit to providing basic medical coverage for life for every GSD in our program, even after adoption.
