BrightStar is a 501(c)(3), a non-profit organization based out of Rochester, NY dedicated to saving the lives of German Shepherd Dogs. We were "officially" formed September 5th, 2002. Every year, BrightStar helps hundreds of homeless German Shepherd Dogs find new forever homes. BrightStar is a dedicated, geographically dispersed team of experienced owners, handlers, trainers and breed franciers that have one common goal ....

TO SAVE THE LIVES OF GERMAN SHEPHERD DOGS.

When BrightStar accepts a German Shepherd Dog (GSD) into our rescue, we make a commitment to that dog to make sure that it will be happy and healthy for the rest of its long life. In placing our dogs with their new forever families, we have a lengthy screening process to assure the quality and commitment of each home. Before adoption, our dogs live in foster homes where they live as part of the family, being socialized, trained, loved and spoiled until adoption. Our dedicated team of volunteers is what makes us able to save so many lives. New Team Members, Sponsors, and Foster Families are always needed and VERY WELCOMED! Our dogs receive the best of Veterinary Care; including spaying and neutering. Our dogs are given the best medical care and are ALL altered before adoption. The adoption fee for a rescued German Shepherd dog is $325 dollars.

We receive our German Shepherd Dogs (GSDs) mostly from animal shelters, other rescue organizations and individuals that for one reason or another, cannot keep their dogs. We also work with local shelters and other rescue groups to locate the best match for your family.
