Ownership of a Dutch Shepherd (DS), like any dog, is a serious responsibility that requires a long-term commitment. It is the goal of The North American Dutch Shepherd Rescue (NADSR) to be sure that this responsibility, as well as the financial and psychological needs of each dog, be met in its new home. This pre-adoption application has been designed to help prospective Dutch Shepherd adopters address the impact that adopting a rescued DS can have upon their home and the suitability of their home for a Dutch Shepherd. This form shall also aid NADSR in applicant evaluation.
