No. Rescues rehome German Shepherds for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the dog.

For German Shepherd Rescue Elite, see the rescue's own page for its fee.

Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it.
