All
our
beautiful German Shepherd Dogs have been rescued
from area shelters or surrendered by their former owners. They are
currently living full time with foster families in the Atlanta area until
permanent homes can be found.
All
our dogs are examined by a
veterinarian, up to date on their vaccinations, checked for heartworm disease
and either spayed or neutered prior to adoption. All
of these dogs have spent time with their foster families training to learn basic
commands as well as leash walking. Almost
all our dogs with the exception of young puppies are housebroken and crate
trained.
For all our dogs, spending time in a foster home rather than a shelter allows
for socialization of the dogs with new people and other dogs. This helps us to
understand the dog's personality and temperament. Knowing and living with our
foster dogs on a day to day basis allows our foster families to determine what
type of home would be best suited for their individual foster dog.
Our foster homes have no more than one to three foster dogs at one time, so our
dogs do truly live "as part of a family". All our foster dogs also spend a minimum of two
weeks, usually more in their foster home so they can be observed for any
undetected health or behavioral problems as well as get adjusted to "family
life" again.
A
$200
adoption donation is requested primarily to
offset the costs of providing veterinary care and sterilization for our rescued
dogs.
