Bella's the biggest sweetheart you'll ever find! Not only that, she's AKC Registered! Bella is an absolutely beautiful, loving girl who came to us as an owner-surrender. She'd been kept in a kennel so she didn't get out much, but now she loves smelling everything her feet can get her nose to! She's just a bit on the small side but she has a big heart! She's very alert and likes to be a part of whatever's going on. She does well walking on a leash and happily comes when called off leash out in the yard. She doesn't jump up on the sofa or chew anything she's not supposed to and is terrific about lying down for a nap when needed. She learned "sit" in less than a day, and is working on "stay". Bella would do well in a home with or without other dogs...as long as she gets lots of love and attention. 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.
