Adopting a Kangal Dog
- Are you considering getting a Kangal dog for your farm, livestock, or family?
- Did you complete your research regarding the breed and the challenges it brings?
- Have you explored all the pros and cons ?
- Did you consider the fact that a Kangal Dog is not for everyone?
- Do you understand the time committment & resouces needed, including the cost, time, energy, space, veterinary care, strength and independent nature of the breed?
- Are you aware of the supports you can access in your area: a responsible breeder, a local Kangal Club?
If you made your decision and are sure that a Kangal dog is the right choice for you and your family we encourage you to consider international adoption.

Here are some pictures of Kangal Dogs that have gone through the shelter in Germany (pictures and stories taken from Herdenschutzhund-Service e.V):
A young puppy Four Puppies
Asi Ates
Ronan suffered some major abuse
(having his ears cropped with scissors, no pain medicine,
sutured with household thread thus leading to a very painful infection)
Ronan got a second chance now - he is in a new home with a loving family.
Ates trying to escape from the shelter. He knows he deserves a better life. New, nice, and clean dog runs at the Shelter in Germany
A handsome grown Kangal Dog Bonuck found a home
