Match-a-Pet Program
Central Illinois German Shepherd Dog Rescue will, in many cases, be able
to help applicants with the Match-a Pet program.
The Match-a-Pet program assists applicants find the German
Shepherd Dog that would be a match for them. This is only done
if one of our available dogs is not a match. (Note: applicants
are those who have filled out an application)
If you are interested in adopting a German Shepherd Dog, but do
not see one (either on our adoptable list on our homepage or
a dog available on our Community Dogs page),
consider filling out an application and choosing "yes" for
the Match-a-Pet program. |
Look for the Match-a-Pet logo on our Alumni pages for
dogs that have been placed through the Match-a-Pet program! |
If we match you to a dog located with another organization, you will
be required to go through their protocols. We will share our information
from you with them, but will not be responsible for the adoption beyond
that.
