Shelter Volunteers

Shelter Volunteers

When GSD began, we made a bold promise: 100% of donations would go directly to fund the dogs. GSD is an all-volunteer, nonprofit and 100% of all funds donated goes directly towards helping needy animals. Below we’ve highlighted some of our amazing volunteers!
