Adopting a German Shepherd Dog

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an German Shepherd Dog - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

The cost to adopt a German Shepherd from a shelter is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. Buying German Shepherds from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on whether or not they’re from working dog or show-dog bloodlines, they can cost anywhere from $500 to $7,000.

You can adopt a German Shepherd through a rescue that specializes in German Shepherds. A great place to start would be by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available German Shepherds in your area.

German Shepherd Dog fun facts

Fun Facts:

Because of their strength, intelligence, and keen ability to herd, track, and obey, the GSD is the go-to choice for police, armed services, prison officers, search-and-rescue teams, drug officers, and private protection agencies around the world.

GSDs are ranked third among all breeds for intelligence (behind Border Collies and Poodles). They also make wonderful leaders of the blind, coming in as the second breed choice after the Labrador Retriever.

The 1950s TV series The Adventures of Rin Tin Tincontributed to the GSD being one of the most beloved and popular dogs in North America and the UK. Rin Tin Tin even has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!
