Since I am tall, dark and VERY handsome, my foster mom decided to name me Adonis, but since I am a very casual fellow, you can call me Donnie. I was on the lam in WV when a nice lady stopped to help me and I hopped right into her car. Needless to say, I really do enjoy car rides! When at the dog park, my favorite activity is to fetch tennis balls. When at home, my favorite activity is to curl up around your feet, or if you are on the sofa, I will try to sit in your lap. What can I say - I am just a lover boy! They think I am around a year old. I can be a bit shy with some men at home, but at the dog park I do just fine with everyone. I can get along fine with both dogs and cats and I have not had a single accident in the house! They keep telling me that I am such a good guy that they cannot understand why no one was looking for me when I got lost. I know the words sit, down, shake and come, and also take treats ever so gently from your hand. Do you need a handsome, affectionate guy in your life? If so, I'm your dog! 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.
