Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

I have a 4 year old male germen shepherd. He is fully house trained and crate trained. He knows sit, down, stay and release. I have raised him from a puppy. I have battled breast cancer for the past 7 years and it is becoming to hard to keep up his training. He needs someone who has more training to train him. He is registered as a service dog. But he needs more public training and someone with a firm hand yet very patient.
I will not just let someone come get him. You WILL have to meet him multiple times and allow me to visit your home with and without him.
I love him dearly and he WILL be placed in a great home.
He has been raised with kids and other animals. He has never bitten anyone. He has been around other animals but does better with other large dogs. I would not advice small animals. He does have a food aggression. Not towards people but towards other dogs, only when food is involved.
