German Shepherd Dog / Mixed : : Female (spayed) : : Adult : : Large
Tiffany is a our special girl. She was rescued from the shelter where she was picked up as a stray. Tiffany was very sick, had some surgery and has never felt better. A gorgeous dark sable German Shepherd, Tiffany has some athletic abilities that would let her win a gold medal. She is a real athlete, at 1.5 years old and weighing in at 65 pounds. Sweet Tiffany is good with all other dogs, excellent with children, but should be in a cat-free home. She must eat from a raised surface due to an enlarged esophagus. Miss Tiffany is the best behaved, most attentive dog we have ever fostered. She is house-, crate- and leash-trained, although she does not require crating. Dear Tiffany deserves a chance in a permanent home where she can be challenged and busy, as she is so smart. She is being fostered in Northern Virginia. Although donations of all types are needed, our primary need is foster homes for our lovely dogs while they wait for their new family to find them. Fostering is an extremely rewarding experience. Vet care is paid for by our rescue, and we can even provide you with food. All YOU need to add is love and security. The adoption process starts with the applicant filling out the adoption application. This can happen at any time during the process, before or after having met a GSD that might be the ideal companion. (It's an advantage to have a pre-approved application on file with VGSR. It should be stressed here that being pre-approved does not mean that any potential adopter can select any available dog at will and take that dog home immediately. VGSR will exercise its best judgement as to which GSD will be the best match for that specific adopter based on a number of qualifying criteria. Many GSDs that come to us are matched up with their new people very quickly because their people have been pre-approved.) The applicant then submits the application form with a non-refundable $10.00 processing fee. VGSR reviews the application, then schedules an interview and home visit during which a number of questions are asked and the home is reviewed to be sure there is a contained/safe yard, and to meet the family involved. Once the application is approved, the applicant is asked to submit a $200 donation to VGSR, and the adoption is completed. |
