We rarely get puppies in our program, most of the dogs coming in are adolescents between 1-2 years old. When we do get puppies, we want to make sure they have the very best start in life.
We have a Supplemental Puppy Questionnaire just for puppies. Yes, we are very picky about our puppy homes, since we see so many adolescent dogs in the shelters who have outgrown their cute little puppy stage and have been left at the shelter!
The requirements for adopting one of our puppies are much the same as for little children. While it is not our intent to discourage potentially good homes for our puppies, we are committed to finding the best possible homes for them. If you are unable to satisfy all of the requirements below and still feel you have the level of experience, leadership and knowledge to successfully raise a German Shepherd Dog (GSD) puppy, please speak with one of our volunteers to discuss your plan for meeting all of a puppy’s needs. There are exceptions to everything, but there shouldn’t be many when it comes to our puppies!
