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!

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.

Invisible fencing is not accepted or considered as appropriate containment for this breed

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.
