About Holly
Status: Adopted!
Species: Dog
Ear Type: Natural/Uncropped
Holly is a striking, all-black GSD about 16 months of age and a petite 60 lb. She was found as a stray and no one came to find her, so the family that found her originally took her home until we could help Holly find a home. Holly loves to cuddle, play, and have all your attention. She is quite bright and is now learning some basic obedience like sit, heel, off and down. Holly is house-trained and stays in her crate when her foster family is out but she really does protest when she first enters. She is a beautiful glossy coat and loves to give kisses galore. What a sweet temperament. Holly needs a firm, loving family to help her grow into a fine adult. She is good with children and adults but not good with other dogs and can easily jump a 3 foot fence. Holly is living in Virginia Beach. 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.
