Why
should I
adopt a German Shepherd?
Adoption Policies
Our Philosophy
The dogs are our clients and we do what is in the dog’s best interests. We match the dog to a suitable home where the dog will be happy and fulfilled, and the dog must approve of the match as well. That means we don’t adopt dogs over the internet, as gifts, or sight unseen.
Adoption Fees
Our fees are $350 for Puppies (2-6 months), $300 for Adult Dogs, and $100 for Senior Dogs (9 years & up) and Special Needs Dogs who have ongoing health issues that require treatment. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered (per California State Law), vaccinated, heartworm and fecal tested clear, and most are microchipped. The adoption fees don’t quite cover those costs.

What is included
In adoption fee for dogs
If you don’t mind a little bit of fur and some craziness, if you understand and love the breed, and are willing to put the necessary work into one, you’ll end up with a very intelligent, very devoted, and very responsible member of the family. There isn’t a finer family dog or all-around all-purpose dog than a good German Shepherd who is well-trained and well-socialized.
German Shepherds come in a wide variety of temperaments and energy levels. For an explanation of how we match them to the right home, read our Dog Rating Levels.
