German Shepherd Dog / Mixed : : Female (spayed) : : Young : : Large
Zoey is a pure-bred, sixteen-month-old, born December 17, 2002. She is up-to-date on all vaccines, heartworm-free, spayed and microchipped. Zoey is such a pretty girl, very sweet and loves to be next to people. She is house-trained and is learning to sit, down, come and wait. She does need leash training since she has a nice yard to run in. She will need practice with heeling. Zoey seems to do well with other dogs and children, but hasnt had much recent exposure. Zoey has good house manners and loves to exercise in her fenced backyard in Virginia Beach. She is looking for a loving, attentive owner that likes to play and truly appreciate her. Her present owners dont want the responsibility of Zoey that they inherited from their son. Need a Zoey in your house? BDTVA 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 $200.00 donation to VGSR, and the adoption is completed. |
