About

NASRN is dedicated to placing unwanted, displaced and abandoned Anatolian Shepherd Dogs(ASDs) into safe, caring homes. Anatolian crosses will be included in our efforts as we believe crosses not only have many of the unique needs/characteristics of purebred Anatolians, but are often born due to the lack of responsibility on the part of the owners of purebred Anatolians. Our organization is comprised of ASD owners, both working and pet homes. We have joined together in an effort to help homeless and displaced Anatolians find a new lease on life. We work directly with shelters in pulling dogs from facilities and placing them either in foster care or adoptive homes. Further, we are committed to helping Anatolians and their crosses, regardless of age or health condition. We will offer and provide assistance to ASD and other Livestock Guardian (LGD) breed owners who are having problems with their dogs, in an effort to keep the dog in its present home. We offer ongoing support to our adopting families to help them with any problems they may experience with their ASD.

Adoption process

STEP 1: Complete an Online Dog Adoption Application. Completing the application will give us more information on you, your home and family, both two-legged and four-legged. This is the first step in the adoption process. The application process helps us to be sure that you are capable of caring for an Anatolian Shepherd and to make sure you are the most compatible home for this dog. We usually require an interview, either in person or by telephone. Local adoptions require on-site home visit and meet & greets. Completing an application does not guarantee an adoption. NOTE: NASRN does not adopt dogs outside of the contiguous U.S. NOTE: Secure fencing is required on all adoptions, with no exceptions. This is non-negotiable. If your application is approved, the next step is to pay your adoption fee and sign the adoption agreement (contract). If this is a long distance adoption, transport options will be discussed following approval. STEP 2: PAY my adoption fee via PayPal Giving Fund. Your adoption coordinator will tell you what the adoption fee is. Fees vary ($155-$400) according to age and other considerations. Most adoption fees are $275. Adoption fee must be paid before taking possession of the dog. STEP 3: SIGN My *Approved* Adoption Agreement (contract). Do not complete this agreement (contract) unless your application has already been approved. This form is the *final* step in the adoption process and is your adoption contract. Adoption fees: Adoption fees vary according to the dog's age and other considerations. Fees range from $155 to $400 although purebred puppies may have higher fees. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the number of people not paying their adoption fees or writing bad checks, we now require all adoption fees paid before/when the dog is picked up. Adoption fee includes the following: Spay or neuter the dog; Fully vaccinate, including Rabies; Heartworm Test; Fecal--test and treat for internal parasites; Treat for external parasites; Give a general veterinary exam.
