Adopting a German Shepherd Puppy
The German Shepherd is an intelligent, loyal and noble dog that requires exercise and socialization. They also require plenty of grooming and should be brushed about two to five times per week. German Shepherds are known to be good family dogs, but they need plenty of exercises, too. German Shepherds have an average lifespan of nine to thirteen years. For these reasons, adopting one can be a great option. This breed also responds well to training.
There are two main ways to adopt a German Shepherd from a rescue group.
One is through a local shelter or rescue group. These organizations specialize in finding the perfect forever homes for the dogs they place. They will know the temperament and personality of every dog they place and can match a dog to its new family. German Shepherd rescue groups charge a nominal adoption fee that typically covers a puppy’s first vet checkup, puppy shots, and spay/neuter.
