Anatolian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Sue 🤍

At 81 pounds, Sue may look big and strong — and he is — but his heart is even bigger. Sue is a 3-4 year-old Anatolian Shepherd who is neutered and up to date on all his vaccines. He is everything this noble breed is known for: loyal, steady, intelligent… and incredibly devoted to his people.

But what makes Sue truly special?

The shelter has a program that brings dogs into local schools — and Sue is the one they choose. Out of all the dogs, they pick him because his temperament is that amazing.

He is calm. Gentle. Patient. He loves children and seems to understand that his size requires softness. He doesn’t just tolerate attention — he leans into it. He thrives on connection. Kids adore him. Staff can’t say enough about his steady, loving nature.

Sue isn’t just a good dog.
He is a once-in-a-lifetime dog.

And yet… he is still waiting.

While he spends his days spreading comfort and love to others, he goes back to a kennel at night. No couch to stretch out on. No family to call his own. No one to give him the forever he so deeply deserves.

Imagine coming home to this gentle giant.
Imagine a loyal protector who also melts when you scratch behind his ears.
Imagine knowing that the dog trusted with schoolchildren is now part of your family.

Sue has given so much love already. Now it’s time for someone to give that love back to him — permanently.

If you’ve ever wanted a steady companion, a guardian with a golden heart, a dog who will stand by you through everything… Sue is your boy.

Please don’t let this incredible soul wait any longer.

The Anatolian Shepherd is a large and powerful ancient breed known for its loyalty, intelligence, and protective nature.

Anatolian Shepherds have a distinctive short double coat that comes in various colors, with a black mask common on their faces. They require early socialization and consistent training to manage their independent yet devoted temperament effectively.
