Said the foster mom to the shepherd dog Do you see what I see? Way up in the sky shepherd dog Do you see what I see? The heavens and all the wondrous light Shinning down on your face so bright Shinning down on your face so bright Said the shepherd dog to the foster mom Do you hear what I hear? On this bright and clear day Do you hear what I hear? The birds, the trees, and the squeaky toy You will toss for me to play That is what I hear on this bright and clear day On this bright and clear day Said the foster mom to the people everywhere Come and see our shepherd dog Chance Come and see our shepherd dog Chance He will be your joy, love and smiles With laughter in never ending miles With laughter in never ending miles

^{Our boy Chance never has a bad day anymore. Even when the thunder and lightening storms rumble or firecrackers boom, he knows he is safe in the home with other pooches and humans to comfort him. His previous life is not exactly known, but we see the signs of being left outside all the time, probably chained up and occasionally given a game of fetch when the humans remembered him. Today he has a new clean and shiny coat, plenty of bones and treats to eat. There are several vinyl toss we toss to play fetch. Yes, he has cataracts and sees practically nothing, but his hearing and sense of smell and his memory of where to walk, all make up for his sight. Yes he can walk up the steps, but you will have to help him come down, as he cannot judge the declining surface. We see Chance as a handsome shepherd dog. What do you see?}

Simply Shepherds Rescue is an all-volunteer non-profit companion animal rescue organization working in the South Suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. Our primary focus is on rescuing abandoned, neglected and homeless German Shepherd Dogs. We provide education to the public about responsible pet ownership in socializing, training and caring for their family companion. We work hard in finding the perfect match for our dogs and their new permanent loving homes.

We do not have a shelter so we depend on loving foster homes to provide a temporary sanctuary for our animals in need.  We are comprised entirely of experienced volunteers united and inspired by a common compassion for all animals. We depend solely on donations and adoption fees to help us save the animals that come into our care. Each orphaned animal we help is provided proper veterinary attention and then is placed into our foster program.  Our foster program is the key to helping a homeless animal become a loving pet.  Some of our dogs need extra special care and attention to recuperate from medical, mental, or physical neglect and some just need to regain their confidence and trust in people.  All of our dogs receive TLC and basic family member training.

What is fostering?  Fostering is a second chance.  Sometimes it is the only chance

We have the knowledge, the tools and many other resources to help these wonderful creatures.  What we don't have are enough foster homes.  Can you open your heart and your home and become a foster?  Please contact us to find out what you can do to give a dog a chance.
