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.
- 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.
