Thor - chained to the wall for his entire life....and yet he STILL loves people. They are so forgiving.

Meet Thor - chained to a garage wall for 2 years, completely neglected,  yet he STILL loves people. Thor is now living happily ever after with a policeman's family.

Last Hope, Safe Haven, Inc. (501(c)3 status pending) is comprised of a dedicated group of German Shepherd Dog enthusiasts. We are breeders, AKC show competitors, Schutzhund trainers, and companion animal owners who had grown tired of the number of our beloved German Shepherds facing a torturous death in kill facilities throughout the country.

Last Hope, Safe Haven members find these dogs via petfinder and other Rescue sites.  We pay for all associated costs related to the release of these dogs either to foster or directly to an approved rescue; this includes but is not limited to HW testing, spay/neuter, appropriate vaccinations, and boarding where indicated. To date, we have been instrumental in the salvation of over 130 German Shepherds. More than 130 beating hearts that would be silent had it not been for the commitment of the members of our group.

By Donating to Last Hope, Safe Haven Inc. you are giving a German Shepherd whom society has forgotten another chance at life and love.  Our group has grown in leaps and bounds with members from coast to coast! Join us in our quest to provide a sanctuary for these dogs;  help us heal their souls and repair their broken bodies. 

The German Shepherd Dog has guided the blind, guarded the soldier, found the bodies and protected the Police Officer. They have given us all they have to give....can we give them any less?

- With deepest gratitude,
  The members of Last Hope, Safe Haven Inc.

Just A Few Of The Dogs We've Saved


To date, we have been instrumental in the salvation of many German Shepherds. These include dogs such as:

Thor; chained to a garage wall for two years. He arrived at our foster home a mere 60 pounds; malnourished and broken in spirit.

There is the story of Sadie and Jake...two purebred 10 week old GSD puppies who were slated for euthanization that very day when a Last Hope member took time from work and drove the 2 hours each way to save them! Both puppies have since gone on to find happy homes.

Mommadog; a black GSD found wandering in North Carolina. Her teats were engorged and there were no puppies to be found. She would have been dead the next morning had the volunteer at this very rural shelter not contacted a Last Hope, Safe Haven member

Chief, the one year old in Tennessee who registered a strong HW positive with his whole life ahead of him.

Gretchen; the senior GSD found with an enormous weeping tumor on her hock. Gretchen is totally deaf; but this did not stop her owners from abandoning her...leaving her to languish on a concrete shelter floor in agony. She is so very grateful to have a permanent loving home with LHSH now.

Or Sadie who found herself homeless when her young family got transfered to a new city and decided that it was too much to take Sadie along. Happily Mary Alice and Last Hope Safe Haven came to Sadie's rescue and found her a wonderful new home where she is a loved and treasured member of the family.

Please help us continue to save these magnificent dogs.
