Adopt a Anatolian Shepherd in California

Anatolian Shepherds are powerful, independent livestock guardian dogs bred for centuries to protect flocks. They're surrendered to rescue when their size and protective instincts surprise pet owners. With acreage and a patient owner, an Anatolian becomes a calm, watchful companion.

California has one of the largest populations of rescue dogs in the United States. The state's warm climate means many rescues operate year-round, and major metro areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego are home to hundreds of rescue organizations.
