Application
Those Who Rent or Lease
Step 1 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7

Persons renting or leasing must provide a copy of their lease, along with a letter, on letterhead, from their landlord, stating they may own a large German Shepherd Dog.

A telephone number the landlord may be reached at must also be provided.

This information is most useful ahead of the time of the appointment in order to complete the adoption.

Persons will also be required to have a backup plan should they have to move. There is no excuse to give up a dog because you couldn't find a place that would allow a large German Shepherd.

Back up plans may include a family home that is willing to take yourself and your dog in , should you lose your apartment or have to leave suddenly.
