HOW DO YOU DECIDE ON THE RIGHT FAMILY DOG
BY Erik Hoffer

It is amazing that now after 8+ years of running my rescue I have adopted out 761 German Shepherds to 761 families, and although a few have been returned, my track record is good in placing the right dog in the right home. IT’S NOT LUCK, BUT IT IS AT TIMES DESTINY. Many of my friends and rescue partners ask me repeatedly who fits what dog? How do I choose which dogs to show to which families? And of course the main question is not for me to answer but for the potential adopter to address, that is, which is the right dog for my family, notwithstanding breed and gender?
