Zander has been adopted! 04-23-2011

How does a dog this beautiful end up in a high kill shelter? Sadly, dogs like Zander are not that unusual. He is a stunning individual, on the XL side with a gentle personality. As the Pedigree commercial so aptly states "do not pity a shelter (rescue) dog, adopt one".....rescue dogs should not be thought of with pity, rather with compassion and the knowledge that you are part of the solution by adopting a rescue and adding yet another happy ending to a deserving individual.

Zander is absolutely fantastic with people. He is housebroken, friendly and obedience trained. He does, however, have a very high prey drive so no small animals for him. We are looking for a family who has solid experience with German Shepherds & their potential drive. Zander is a powerful boy and we want to make sure we get him into the perfect home - one that can satisfy his high intelligence with appropriate exercise & training.

The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible when permitted by law. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.
