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. We may  consider other applications on a case by case basis.
  • Working (livestock) dogs:  We can only adopt experienced LGDs into working homes.
  • If the dog has not been evaluated with livestock and proved to be trustworthy, we cannot place it into a working (livestock) 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.
  • If you rent, please be prepared to provide contact information for your landlord or property management company.
  • 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. Generally, we can try to assist with transport, using volunteer drivers, within a 1,000-mile radius.  There is no fee for "relay runs," however, the adopting party is required to drive at least the last leg of the trip (roughly 75-100 miles).
  • 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.

Fencing Requirements

  • The Anatolian Shepherd Dog is a large, powerful yet very agile and athletic dog. Secure fencing for an Anatolian is a “must”.
  • They are able to quickly hop over a 4ft fence with little to no effort.
  • No invisible, wireless, GPS systems or barbed wire


           

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Secure fencing will keep your Anatolian Shepherd Dog safely at home where it is supposed to be. They cant be on duty, protecting your home, family or flock if they are on a walkabout somewhere down the road. Anatolians are nomadic by nature and they will continually expand their territory if given the chance. It doesn’t matter how remote your property is or how many acres you own, the Anatolian Shepherd will not respect property boundaries without a secure fence. 

 
RECOMMENDED FENCING
We recommend having a fence that is a minimum height of 4.5 feet. Considerations for a home with a 4 ft fence will be made on an individual basis, dependent upon the dog in question.
