Rescue FAQs

We rescue shepherds and shepherd mixes to save them and foster them until adoption to the right home. We are a dedicated group of volunteers mostly in Delaware and occasionally in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. We review applications, interview adopters, set up dog meets and conduct home visits. We try very hard to find the permanent home matching people and dogs.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process requires upon inquiry by an adopter, an adopter's applying for a dog(s). Once the application is submitted we give the applicant the contact information for the adopter for them to meet the dogs in who they are interested. We ask they bring the family - including other pets - and spend time with the dog (s). We review the application and also suggest other dogs who maybe of interest.
Once the applicant has chosen to adopt, we conduct a home visit to make sure the home and the dog will have a great life!
