Please welcome VADER to ARK Charities! Handsome Vader is a 4 year old, 86lb good boy. He came into the shelter as a cruelty case surrender and he is truly a sound and essy, mellow dog. Vader is affectionate and friendly with everyone- people, dogs and kids. He is knows several basic commands and walks really well on a slip leash. He likes to go for a ride in the car and is a lower drive, well mannered good boy. He is so deserving of a life out of the shelter and now his future is one that will be filled with love, devoted care and family. We will make sure if it.
He is currently safe and out of the shelter and with our much loved fosters, Lisa and Garret, rescue family who have helped us save countless German Shepherds from TX shelters. Vader is doing great and will be making his CT debut later in March! We will be looking for his perfect home. Fill out an application if you’re interested in adding this sleek and handsome gentleman to your life.

All applications need to be complete to be processed. All pets in the home must be spayed/neutered and up to date. References, including veterinary references will be checked. A vet record should sho a history of both wellness and preventive care over the lifetime of a pet. Preference is given for German Shepherd and large dog experience and fenced yards. Obedience training is a requirement for adoption.
