Adoption Information

Please be sure to read all About Anatolian Shepherd Dogs
before considering adopting one!

Thank you for choosing to adopt a new member of your family!  Our goal is to find the best fit for both the adopter and the dog because this is a lifelong commitment.

NASRN is staffed 100% by volunteers. We all have jobs, families, animals and other responsibilities and do this in our spare time.  Please be patient with us!

PLEASE READ BEFORE COMPLETING THE APPLICATION

• ​Secure fencing is required although we may  consider other applications on a case by case basis. ​

• Fencing Requirements  Minimum height of 4 feet.  Please be aware that some dogs will have more specific fencing needs.

• LGDs (livestock guardian dogs):  We occasionally have experienced LGDs available for adoption, however, if the dog has not been evaluated and proven to be trustworthy with livestock, we cannot place it in a working LGD home.
• We prefer applicants who are at least 21 years or older. If you are under 21, living with a roommate or are still living at home, in a dorm, or in an apartment, we will consider applications on a case by case basis.
• We are committed to finding the best-matched homes for our dogs and screen all applicants carefully. When possible we will do home visits and meet and greets.
• We require veterinary references on all applications.
• We do follow-ups with our adopting families to make sure the honeymoon phase transitions into a stable, loving relationship that will remain for years to come.
• Transport options may be available, depending on where you live. 
• Please note that there is NO guarantee made, express or implied, that any person requesting to adopt a dog through NASRN, or a dog posted on NASRN's Website, will be approved. 
• NOTE: NASRN does not adopt dogs outside of the contiguous U.S.
