We love our shepherds here and a brother and sister combo was hard to resist! Handsome Ross and beautiful Rachel are everything we love about shepherds. Ross is the rockstar dog with fabulous well balanced energy. He’s great with other dogs and very confident, His sister Rachel is a much more sensitive soul but is very gentle and sweet. They’re a fantastic pair but not bonded which means they could find a home either together or separately. Any shepherd loving house will appreciate their good looks, large size and shepherd personalities.
Sadly our California shelters are overrun with shepherds. Ross and Rachel were surrendered to the Lancaster shelter by their owner. They then sat for the next month with no adoption or rescue interest. No interest is a guaranteed way to end up on the euthanasia list and these two needed a quick exit. We were thankful we had room and could get them both out.
They’ve quickly settled into the routine at our rescue ranch and also quickly become staff favorites…we do love our shepherds! We’d love to see them in shepherd loving homes where they could be part of the family and never be surrendered again. If you’re looking for a fabulous shepherd or maybe even two consider giving Ross and Rachel the forever homes they deserve.
Here’s what you need to know about adopting a cat or dog from Marley’s Mutts:
- Each adoptable pet will be introduced on Facebook
- Each pet will have its own profile here on the website
- All pets will be spayed or neutered
- All pets will be micro-chipped and shots will be up-to-date
- Each pet has their own application to complete—make sure you use the right one (linked from their bio)
It’s important to us that each pet goes not just to a great home but to the “right” home. Our foster parents work with each pet to get to know them and their needs.
We try hard to list all of the pertinent info about each pet on the site so you can choose the pet that will fit with your family/lifestyle. If you don’t see a specific pet on the site, he/she is not ready for adoption. Please be patient and wait until the bio is listed. We don’t decide on a “first come, first served” basis but rather on a “who’s the very best fit.” So, don’t panic.
It’s not a quick process. We receive dozens of applications for each pet so please be patient. If you’re shortlisted you’ll be contacted as soon as possible.
If selected to meet one of our pets and you currently have pets, you’ll be asked to do an in-person pet intro; we don’t do the long-distance adoption thing. If you live out of town, plan a fun road trip to meet the pet in person.
Don’t be discouraged if your application is not selected. Remember, we get a lot of them! Trust us, the best fit for you is coming.
If you’re lucky and you do adopt a super amazing pet from Marley’s Mutts, don’t ever hesitate to reach out to us for training, medication, or behavior questions. We’re here for you, and your pet.
