I am Patience, a beautiful 2-3 year old sable female German Shepherd Dog. I'm a nice girl who's looking for a home. I am new to VGSR and my foster parents are still learning about me and my personality. I am currently getting over a cold I picked up at the shelter, but except for an occasional sneeze, you would never know anything is wrong with me. I am playful and full of energy. I love the back yard at my temporary home, but also like to be with humans. I am good with other dogs, and the jury is still out regarding cats (I would be easily trained to live peacefully with cats, but it is not guaranteed I will be OK from the get-go). The vet says that except for my little cold, I am a healthy dog and I was very well behaved with my doctor. I am a good weight at 75 lbs. I am probably fine with children, although I don't have any in my foster home. Due to my activity level, older children would probably be best. Although I need to get over my cold, I am otherwise available for adoption, and I hope you'll pick me as your new best friend. Contact barbie@shepherdrescue.org if you are interested in adopting me!

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.
