Not here: we only list dogs with rescues, so every Shepherd cross on this page is adopted for the rescue's fee, which usually covers vet work already done. Whether to buy is your choice.

If you decide to buy, Dogs Trust's breed guides suggest talking to your vet first: they say some practices offer pre-purchase consultations on likely health conditions and rough costs.
