We charge $250-$350 for any dog we take in as surrenders from owners based on the medical condition of the dog. We will ask that upon adoption that you provide your vets name and address and phone for verification purposes.īEGINNING JOUR NEW ADOPTION FEE IS $350 EFFECTIVE 6/1/18 but our Senior for Senior's program reduced the cost for dogs over 7 years adopted to folks over 65, to $250.

We will require that you sign an agreement regarding the care of the dog you may be given as well as a liability letter indemnifying The Hoffer Family Foundation and GSD Rescue from any liability or legal issue surrounding any dog received from us. We will also ask that if you have pets, that you bring your dog here to meet his new friend. We will ask to meet your entire family and anyone else that lives in the home with the dog. We will ask you about your current pets, if any and we will ask you for evidence of their 'up to date' vaccinations, your vets name and number, your track record in keeping animal shots and registrations up to date, your training experience and about your commitment. Our adoption process begins with an application sent on the site and then an interview by phone based on the information we gather from your applications. We especially want people who get dogs from us to dedicate the appropriate time and resources to train and socialize the dog. We seek people who believe in training and the proper care of these great dogs. Our ideal adopter is someone who has had a GSD in their past and knows the breed. The interviews and meeting and greets are held in Punta Gorda. You can also download and fill out an application form set of 3 documents, on line and PDF it to us from the site, no printing necessary. If you wish to adopt, please send us an email to schedule a qualification interview in Punta Gorda FL. We seek qualified families and individuals who wish to own German Shepherd dogs.

These dogs primarily come from an area just south of Tampa, to just South of Naples Florida including DeSoto and Sarasota County and the Hendry County and LaBelle and Clewiston areas, although we have taken some from Miami we do not work with the MD Shelter because they consistently lie about the animals in their care resulting in wasted trips or problem dogs.
