Find a suitable home for the German Shepard you can no longer keep.
Since German Shepherd Dogs can have stubborn temperaments and health or behavior problems if not well bred and trained, it can be a challenge to find the right way to surrender your dog, if needed. While you might first think about donating the dog to a local police department, the dogs used for K-9 forces are highly regulated and strictly bred for very specific working tendencies. These traits aren't found in the majority of German Shepherd Dogs. This leaves you to find a rescue group that can take your dog.
Instructions
1. Contact a local rescue German Shepard dog rescue group. Groups exist in most states or regions, and can be located with the assistance of the German Shepherd Dog Cub of America.
2. Request a surrenderer of you dog. If the nearest rescue to you is full, you may be recommenced to another rescue organization in a nearby state. It is your responsibility to get your dog to the rescue group.
3. Gather as much information about your dog as possible. Compile medical records, vet visits, date of birth and location of the breeder you got your dog from.
4. Prepare to make a donation to the rescue group. You may need to pay for services, such as spaying or neutering your dog, paying for adaption costs, for food or for shelter shelter space.
5. Surrender the dog to the rescue group.
