Adopt

We rehabilitate and train rescued Livestock Guardian Dogs, preparing them for meaningful work on ranches and homesteads nationwide. Adopting a Livestock Guardian Dog is more than bringing home a pet — it’s welcoming a working partner who will protect your livestock, safeguard your land, and become a trusted part of your family. At our sanctuary, every guardian is rescued, rehabilitated, and prepared for meaningful work. These dogs are not just survivors — they are protectors, carefully matched to the farms and ranches where they can thrive.

Adoption Commitment & Policies

A Lifelong Partnership

Adopting a Livestock Guardian Dog — or any of our sanctuary animals — is a serious, lifelong commitment. These dogs are not typical pets; they are working guardians with instincts and needs that must be respected.

LGDs require:

  • Consistent training to mature into reliable protectors

  • Frequent barking, which is part of their natural duty

  • Patience, structure, and resources dedicated to their success

Before applying, please be sure you’re ready to meet these needs with understanding and long-term dedication.

Return Policy

Adoption fees are non-refundable and serve as a donation that supports the ongoing care of every animal in our rescue.

If an adoption does not work out, we will do our best to welcome the animal back into our sanctuary. However:

  • Immediate intake may not be possible, especially in cases of aggression

  • If the animal has lived with you for an extended period, we may request an additional donation to help cover future care

These policies allow us to continue rescuing, rehabilitating, and responsibly placing guardians for years to come.

Our Promise

Every adoption comes with lifetime support. If challenges arise — whether training, livestock introduction, or behavior concerns — we’re here to help. The success of both the animal and adopter matters deeply to us.

Together, we can ensure every guardian finds their place, and every adopter feels supported.
