Share San Francisco with a German Shepherd
German Shepherds are a highly-trainable and caring breed, making them a perfect canine companion. Bustling San Francisco is a great city for this active and intelligent breed that you’ll need to keep busy with physical and mental exercise.
Baker Beach offers a lovely landscape for adventures with your furry friend. The beach stretches a mile along the bay, passing famous landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge and Marine headlands. On the dog-friendly trails there are large rocks and paths for your dog to explore in the beautiful San Francisco air.
There are a total 28 off-leash dog parks in San Francisco, perfect for providing the energetic German Shepherds all the physical play they need. For peace of mind, visit the Eureka Valley Recreation Center or McLaren Park, which are spacious and fully fenced in.
There is so much to share with your German Shepherd in San Francisco!
Why Get Your Pet?
The best way to save a beloved German Shepherd, or any pet, is to keep them out of the shelter system. Rehoming a dog or cat is a better kind of pet adoption, in every way.
San Francisco Adopters meet and learn about pets from the Guardians (owners) who know them best.
San Francisco Veterinarians examine pets at no extra charge as a part of the pet adoption.
Pets go directly from one loving home in San Francisco to another. Less stress. Less chance of illness or death.
Everyone benefits with Get Your Pet.

San Francisco Shelters can focus limited resources on strays and abused animals. More available kennel space means fewer animals euthanized.
