Who We Are & What We Do

NASRN is dedicated to placing unwanted, displaced and abandoned Anatolian Shepherd Dogs(ASDs) into safe, caring homes. Anatolian crosses will be included in our efforts as we believe crosses not only have many of the unique needs/characteristics of purebred Anatolians, but are often born due to the lack of responsibility on the part of the owners of purebred Anatolians.

Unfortunately, we are not able to assist owners in rehoming their dogs at this time. We will, however, try to assist owners with training and behavioral issues in an attempt to help the dog remain in the home with its family.

Our organization is comprised of ASD owners, both working and pet homes. We have joined together in an effort to help homeless and displaced Anatolians find a new lease on life.

We work directly with shelters in pulling dogs from facilities and placing them either in foster care or adoptive homes. Further, we are committed to helping Anatolians and their crosses, regardless of age or health condition.

We will offer and provide assistance to ASD and other Livestock Guardian (LGD) breed owners who are having problems with their dogs, in an effort to keep the dog in its present home.

We offer ongoing support to our adopting families to help them with any problems they may experience with their ASD.


If you are not able to adopt at this time, CLICK HERE to consider being a foster family and help us save a life!
