The German Shepherd Rescue Trust is not a petshop We do not buy or sell dogs. Our aim is to find a kind and loving forever home. All our dogs are registered, vaccinated and desexed (if applicable) prior to placement. A reimbursement of these costs is requested as it is a cost you would incur regardless of where you obtained your dog. We ask you to consider offering a donation to cover the ever growing expenses of foster care and petrol expenses. All donations over $5.00, are tax deductible

Complete our Dog Adoption Application form which will enable us to match your circumstances with a suitable dog. There is no point introducing you to a couch potato if you want a running companion.

YES! We take her everywhere with us. She travels well in the pick up and is comfortable in the pop-up. One of the factors we use in selecting our camping destinations is if they allow pets. Many campgrounds do not accept pets of any kind, some accept pets up to a certain size while others have no limitations at all. Common courtesy demands that you make sure your pet does nothing to disturb other campers. Barking, running wild or bothering others in any way is not acceptable.

The cost of the adoption is $300.00 (Canadian funds) and is made as a donation to Chinook Winds Greyhound Rescue. Included with this donation is: your new greyhound (spayed or neutered; up-to-date on vaccinations including rabies; wormed; treated for parasites such as ticks and fleas; and dental care); a new one piece nylon martingale leash-collar combo made especially for our greyhounds; a new muzzle and plastic kennel collar.

Absolutely! While my own personal dogs are German Shepherd Dogs, and I specialize in that breed, I offer team training for any breed of dog, whether purebred or mixed.

There is no difference. After the World Wars anything German was taboo. To avoid the use of the word German "Alsatian" was used. The name in Germany is Deustche Schaferhund which means "German Shepherd Dog". The word "Dog" is actually part of the breed's name unlike other breeds.

Our cost to spay or neuter a dog, bring it up to date on a vaccinations and test for heartworm can be as high as several hundred dollars. We ask a donation of $150.00 for each dog we place. Some donations may be lower depending on the circumstances.

Generally a good German Shepherd puppy will cost between $500 and $1000, depending on his lineage, appearance, and breeding. Only a good breeder can tell you with any accuracy what your puppy grow up to look like and what inherited traits are present. If you are looking for a dog to do a specific task, find a breeder whose specialty is that job. If you want a pet, look at as many litters as possible and talk with the breeders about their dogs.

adoption fee of $300 is required for all dogs regardless of age, sex, color, or special medical fees incurred. This helps to cover the cost of veterinary care, boarding, transportation, training, supplies, heartworm and flea prevention, and other related expenses.

The full adult size of your GSD will depend in large part on the genetic background of its parents. Adult males should range between 24-26" at the shoulder blade, females from 22-24". Males within the standard may weigh anywhere from 65-90 lbs. depending on their bloodlines. Females may weigh anywhere from 50-75 lbs. Although your pup will reach close to adult height by 10-18 months, he will continue to fill out until up to 3 years old.

this point in time, there is no difference except that the White Shepherd is only registered as a breed apart with AWSA and with UKC in the United States. In time and with the deepening rift in the separation process, it is expected that the WS will continue to evolve and changes will be more readily seen.

In addition to a devoted companion, when adopting your new dog you will receive an educational packet with information on feeding, crate training, housetraining, and basic obedience. This packet will also include coupons for free veterinary examinations and reduced cost obedience training. Volunteers are available through our phone line for follow up questions and additional information should you need it.

Actually, the white shepherd dog predates the GSD breed, which is a relatively new breed of dog. (The GSD as a breed is less than 100 years old.) To understand the beginnings of the White Shepherd, one must discuss its parent breed – the German Shepherd Dog. There was no such thing as a GSD before Captain Max Von Stephanitz and his friend Artur Meyer saw the dog Hektor Linksrhein at the Karlesruhe Exhibition on April 3, 1899.

By the mid-1930s, the Nazis were spreading everywhere and getting into all different areas and interests in Germany. Animal breeders did not escape their influence. Nazi Party members held memberships in the SV and increasingly exerted more and more influence over all aspects of the Club. Eventually, Von Stephanitz was forced out altogether. By the time of his death in 1936, the takeover of the SV by the Nazis was fairly complete.

This varies greatly, but generally somewhere around 10 to 12 years of age. Some have been known to reach 15 years of age.

GSDs are natural herding dogs, you'll often find them walking in front of you and looking back to make sure you're going where you should. The breed is naturally loyal, intelligent and protective of their family. They are calm and have a steady temperament when well-bred which makes them an excellent pet. A GSD thrives on regular exercise, mental stimulation and a well-balanced diet.

Most lines of GSD's will live to between 10-13 years of age. 11-12 years is probably a very reasonable expectation. A GSD becomes "middle-aged" between 5-7 years old, and is generally considered "geriatric" at about 10. Their food intake and exercise and nutrition needs may change over this period of time. They may begin to develop stiffness in their joints (much like people do as they get older).

Santa Rosa County Residents: $15.00, Out of County Residents: $20.00. You must pre-pay at a Santa Rosa Veterinarian of your choice for a spay or neuter before the adoption is completed. All animals that are six months of age or older, will be transported from the shelter to the vet for altering. If the dog is already spayed or neutered the cost to Santa Rosa County Residents is $20.00; cost for out of County Residents is $25.00.

The cost of the animal's freedom. Unfortunately in most cases the only way to "rescue" these animals from the mills where they are bred is to buy them from that mill. Although we do all we can to buy them at the lowest cost, ultimately the future of the animal becomes the driver and cost takes a back seat. Veterinarian services. Although the majority of the animals we rescue are in perfect health and require very little in initial treatment (e.g.

The cost to adopt a cat is $60. The cost to adopt a dog is $90. If the cat or dog has already been sterilized the adoption fee is $25. In addition if licensing is required for the pet you have adopted the license must be purchased.

They are significantly different both in body structure and temperament. The BSD is a more elegant dog with lighter bone. The BSD stands four square and is the same height to the withers as it is from point of shoulder to croup, while the GSD has a long, sloping back and walks flatter on the foot. The head is finer and more chiseled, with smaller, high set triangular ears.

We need funds to pay our vet and boarding expenses and to continue rescuing Cockers in need. The $200 is a donation to help provide veterinary care for future rescues. The rescue you adopt comes to you fully vetted with a health check including a fecal and heartworm test and has been vaccinated for rabies, distemper, parvo, corona and bordatella. Rescues may have been treated for other medical conditions such as heartworms, cherry eyes, ear, skin or mouth problems before being adopted.

Start by filling out an online application. The information you provide will be evaluated and we will call you to conduct a telephone interview after references have been checked. We may also require a home visit for certain dogs. It is important for us to know that the dog is going to a permanent, loving home where it will be treated as a member of the family. Please ensure that you have done your homework on dog ownership and that you understand the expense and time involved.

Usually this doesn't happen as we have such a detailed adoption process where we take great pains in matching dog to family. In the event you need to return the dog to us for whatever reason, we ask for at least two weeks to prepare for the return of the dog and make sure we have a foster home available. Adoption fees are non-refundable.

You can adopt a dog that is crate trained, has been spayed or neutered, has had a micro-chip locator implanted and registered, is through many of the puppy issues ? chewing, house trained (knows to do their business outside). The adult dog's personality has developed and our experienced foster families can tell you about each dog.

Look, some people don't like German Shepherds for whatever reason - some are afraid of them because of their size, because how they're portrayed in the media, because how much they shed, because they know them as police dogs, etc. etc. Some people just don't like dogs. And there's very little that you can do to change that. You can try to educate them, but some people are not interested in learning new things, and just refuse to like dogs no matter what.
