Southeast German Shepherd Rescue has an intensive application process. The application process is necessary to protect our dogs and give them the best possible chance at finding a compatabile forever home. If you are interested in adopting a SGSR Dog then please fill out an adoption application online. Once your application is submitted a volunteer will contact you to start processing your application. Adoption Process: 1. Submit the Adoption Application. 2. Pay the $15 application fee. 3. Be interviewed by an Adoption Counselor. 4. Allow the Adoption Counselor to check your animals vet records. 5. Allow an adoption counselor to visit your home. 6. Be approved for adoption. 7. Work with your adoption counselor and our fosters to find the right dog for your home. 8. With our approval, sign the adoption agreement, pay the associated fee ($250), and start your two-week trial. 9. Confirm your adoption during or right after your two-week trial.
If you have any questions on this process feel free to contact us prior to or after you submit an adoption application.
Adopting a dog is a lifetime commitment. Please remember that every rescue dog comes with an adjustment period and a 10 year plus time commitment. If you are hestiant to keep your dog during good times and bad, during household moves or family changes then please look no further. Each dog below has its own story, history, and issues. Some have been dumped in shelters, found roaming the streets, neglected, and/or abused. We make every effort to match a rescue dog with a compatible forever home, but it is up to you to help your new companion adjust to your home and family. To help ensure a successful placement we work with our applicants and adopters to answer questions before, during, and after each adoption. Please feel free to email us any questions about an individual dog or our adoption process.
