Sauver Des Chiens, which is French for “To Save The Dogs”, was founded November 2016. SDC is a 501(c)3 non-profit all volunteer, foster-based organization based in Texas. Our passion and mission is to rescue neglected, unwanted, and abused, German Shepherd and Large Paw Dogs with the goal of finding them a new permanent and loving home. All dogs receive full veterinary care, including spay/neuter, positive training and necessary behavior modification before they are ready to adopt.

Although we are still a relatively new German Shepherd Rescue group, we have managed to save over 960 lives. We run our group with honesty, integrity and heart.

We could not do this without the help of all of our Fosters, Volunteers and Donors.

“The world would be a nicer place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog.” – M.K. Clinton

Meet Our Founder

Karen is one of the most passionate dog loving people our group has even seen. She is committed to making sure everyone’s voice is heard, even those who cannot speak for themselves. She is our founding member and has been in the rescue industry for 10+ years. There are a lot of people out there that forget this is a volunteer trade, however, Karen’s devotion and reliability would emulate one of someone who makes millions. Thank you Karen for working so hard and making sure these babies have a second chance!
