• Do some research to find out if the German Shepherd Dog is the right breed for you.
• Complete an application.
• We will then review your application and check your references.
• When your application is approved, we will work with you to determine which available dog most closely matches your needs and your lifestyle. Not only must the dog be a match for you, but YOU must be a match for the dog. If no suitable dogs are currently available, we will keep your application active until a more suitable dog becomes available.
• If you have another dog, we will work with you to ensure that they get along.
• All GSDs must be up to date on all vaccinations and spayed/neutered before they can be placed for adoption. You may need to wait for this process to be completed before taking your dog home.

We do ask for a donation when you adopt a dog from Mit Liebe GSD Rescue. We care for these dogs because we love the breed and the dogs themselves. However, in order to continue our rescue efforts, we must recoup some of the costs of veterinary care, food, training, etc. Fees are $200, $150 for dogs 5 and older .

The Adoption Agreement

When we place a dog with his/her new family, we hope it is a "forever" home. However, if the adoption does not work out for any reason, we require that the dog be returned to us. If at any time during the dog's life re-homing is necessary, again the dog must be returned to us. We continue to provide support for adopters throughout the life of the dog. We do not adopt out of state.
