Other ways
to help?
We are seeking dedicated volunteers who are willing to donate their time, energy, and any skills they possess to help us save German Shepherd Dogs that desperately need our help. Volunteers can transport dogs, help with home and dog evaluations, assist with fundraising and setting up public education events, pass out information about the Rescue, FOSTER a dog, or add any of their talents to help save and place needy German Shepherd Dogs in new, loving, FOREVER homes.
The only thing required of our volunteers is that they
have a love for the German Shepherd Dog breed.
In order to help us get to know you and focus on your talents, all
volunteers will be asked to fill out an application. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer
for Mississippi Valley German Shepherd Dog Rescue, please contact us and we
will send you information and an application.
Of course, we will gratefully take any kind of donation, monetary or otherwise,
i.e. X-Large GSD size crates, leashes, collars, toys, etc.
Any monetary donations can be sent to:
Mississippi Valley German Shepherd Dog Rescue
1130 27th Street
Moline, IL 61265.
MVGSDR can accept donations online through our secure Pay Pal account. All donations go to helping the dogs in our care. All donations are tax deductable!
If you would like to donate a crate or other items for the dogs, please call us at
309-797-0873 and we will set up a time to come and pick up your donations.
Jade has an autoimmune condition requiring meds for her eyes. This medication is costly but with the vet care and management she will live a normal life. Your donations help us help her!
Our dogs come from shelters, animal control, humane societies and, occasionally,
from owners who are forced to relinquish their pets. Each dog that comes into MVGSDR will receive a full initial general exam,
including vaccinations for Rabies, DHLPP-C (Distemper) and Bordetella, a
heartworm blood test and a fecal test. Depending upon the dog's physical
condition, more tests may be performed and medication administered if
necessary. All dogs which go through our program are spayed or neutered before
being placed with a new family. If the dog is not spayed or neutered when it
comes into the Rescue, that procedure is done prior to placement. ALL dogs are micro-chipped. Home evaluations are done before any dog goes
into foster care and before any dog gets adopted.
We strive to educate the public about the German Shepherd Dog. If you have any
questions about MVGSDR, or would like to
become a volunteer, foster home or just want to know more about the breed,
please feel free to contact us. We will gladly answer any questions and provide
any information that you might need.
