More about the shelter
The National Anatolian Shepherd Rescue Network (NASRN) is a nationwide, 501(c)(3) recognized non-profit,organization.
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.
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.
NASRN works with owners who are no longer able to, or no longer wish to, keep their Anatolians, in placing them in more suitable homes. We cannot, however, place a dog for an owner who is asking a fee or selling their ASD.
We also work directly with shelters in pulling dogs from facilities and placing them either in foster care or directly into new 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.
When able to, we will work with other Livestock Guardian rescue groups to help place other Livestock Guardian breeds into new homes.

Tollie is spayed, heartworm negative, and in good health with recent check-up.
Tollie is a giant 6 year old Anatolian Shepherd who needs more attention, play, and space to roam. She absolutely LOVES being around people. She is very loving and playful. She is generally pretty low energy when her "pack" is home. She is well potty trained and even knows sign language to tell you when she needs to go outside and when she is hungry.
Tollie’s favorite activities:
-Lounging in the center of the house where she can feel close to her people.
-Laying outside in a fenced area smelling all the smells of the outdoors.
-Playing ‘hide and seek’ and ‘chase’.
-Agility training!-Tollie is a great jogging partner. She doesn’t pull on a leash and her trot is quite cute.
-Sprinting in circles in the dog park or other open space
-Licking frozen lick mats and sniffing out treats from her sniff mat
She does not chew on furniture. The only damage she has done is scraping the front door/trim, which can be mitigated by using a plastic door sheet protector and using some white masking tape on surrounding walls/trim.
Tollie has experienced a dog attack and this made her reactive toward other dogs when she is on a leash. It is recommended that she takes an extended period of time away from her trigger and so playing with her in a secure backyard with a tall fence is best for her at this time.
Tollie needs a family that is not away from the house all day/evening. A family that works from home will be best for her.
Tollie has lived with dogs, however needs to be properly introduced. She never initiates aggression when not on leash, but if the other dog becomes aggressive due to Tollie's size/ extreme playfulness, Tollie will also respond with aggression. Tollie should never be left alone with another dog unless the other dog is kenneled.
Most important: Tollie needs a family that works from home, has a decent sized backyard
