At the age of 11 weeks, Precious has already been taken away from her mother, rejected by her breeder, and almost euthanized through no fault of her own. Fortunately, VGSR was able to step in at the last moment. Precious has an injury to the top of her right femur which will require surgery. Precious has the usual puppy energy, but due to the pain, does not have coordination in her hind legs. Her playful turns cause her to simply fall over, because one leg cannot support her weight. She limps when she walks, which puts additional pressure on the other side. The left hip is beginning to look deformed because she tends to put most of the pressure on that leg. Eventually both legs would be crippled. A little one with 3 legs is an undesirable option, but a little one with 2 crippled legs can only result in having to end her life. Virginia German Shepherd Rescue has taken Precious into foster care. We are asking for your donations to help fund her surgery, so that she can can be a normal puppy. Wont you please help her find out what it will be like to play with other puppies, chase balls and butterflies, and grow up to become someones loving companion?

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.
