My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Age: 6 Years
Sex: Male
Size: 85 pounds
Good With Dogs: Yes
Good With Cats: No
Good With Children: Yes

Are you looking for an all around amazing German Shepherd, then look no further than Fatso. Don’t let the name through you off. This boy is in amazing shape and is always up for some serious fun. Fatso has everything you could want in a shepherd. Good looks, intelligence, family friendly, healthy and happy.

Fatso has lived with children and adults. He is trustworthy in a house and also crate trained. Fatso is generally pretty chill around other dogs, spending some time at parks, but he is the top dog in play dates. Fatso is part of our owner referral program. He is currently located in Brooklyn. Fatso is up to date on all his shots and neutered. He has a lot of energy and probably could benefit from a one or two refresher obedience classes. He is quite agile and could be a great agility dog.

Fatso has some Belgian Malinois in him so you know he loves to be active. He will keep you on your toes and provide you with plenty of exercise and at the end of the day, he can just chill out.

Sedona Shepherd Sanctuary's mission is to rescue adult and senior German Shepherd and Shepherd mixes and find them loving homes.  All of our dogs are fully vetted and up to date on all their shots

Our adoption area includes New Jersey, Delaware Valley, Manhattan, Southern New York and Eastern Pennsylvania.  We may adopt to Connecticut depending on circumstances.  Please visit our website at www.sedonashepherd.com.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption fee is:

Ages under 3 years old: $450

Ages 3 to 8: $250

Ages 8 and older $150 (or waived)

For dogs older than 10 or with medical issues we will waive the adoption fee. This is done on a case by case situation.

We do not adopt puppies. If you are interested in adopting a dog under 4 years old there are a number of respectable German Shepherd Rescues in the New Jersey metropolitan area that can accommodate you, including Shepherd's Hope Rescue and Garden State German Shepherd Rescue.

More about this rescue

Sedona Shepherd Sanctuary specializes in helping adult and senior German Shepherds and mixes find their forever home. Sadly, many older dogs are dumped in shelters and most often are the first to be euthanized to create room for younger, supposedly more adoptable dogs.

Our mission is to find loving homes who realize the special nature, love and enjoyment these dogs can bring to a household.

We work with owners who because of circumstances beyond their control need to find a home for their dog. We also work with many shelters and rescue organizations in the Northeast.
