Clocktower Animal Hospital Clocktower merits a huge "Thank You" for taking such good care of our rescue dogs at a discounted rate.

Park Place Grooming Robyn Rosenthal, owner of Park Place Grooming has been an angel. One more than one occasion we have pulled up in front of her place with a filthy, smelly, unkempt rescue dog and Robyn has always dropped what she was doing to help get it cleaned up, often spending hours getting all the crud out of the dogs' coats as some of the dogs have lived outside their entire lives and have never had a bath. Thanks Robyn.

Hayfield Animal Hospital Hayfield Animal Hospital has provided care to so many of the rescue German Shepherds. They are always prepared and compassionate. Hayfield offers VGSR discounted services because they truly care for the dogs. The staff and doctors alike are helpful and patient answering our many questions. Not all veterinary hospitals are willing to work with rescue dogs because, unlike the average family dog, a rescue dog may need to recover from years of neglect and abuse. Hayfield Animal Hospital is always there to heal and mend the rescue dogs.

Rags to Riches John helps VGSR make the dogs adoptable. John has groomed some of the messiest fur coats. He can make a dog straight from the animal shelter (on death row) look like they are ready for the Westminster Dog Show. Rags to Riches specializes in German Shepherds and has GSD clients from all over the Metro DC area. Some of our most difficult cases have been the long coats, like Delilah and Cricket. John has made them soft and beautiful. When you're at Rags to Riches, be sure to say "Hi" to Chili Pepper, John's lovely, red, pure-bred German Shepherd.
