Hi, I'm Pixie. I'm a GSD mix, with lots of fluffy hair. Foster mom said I must have had a rough life as an outdoor dog because my hair was all matted, and full of ticks and fleas. I got dunked in a big tub and then everybody fussed over me with brushes and stuff. Then I got a good night's sleep with a full tummy and no creepy, crawly things. I'm a quiet, easy going little girl, and I love all this attention. I'm a quick learner - I figured out how to "sit" right after I figured out what a treat is! I know what "come" means too - kisses and treats! Yup - I love this kind of life. I haven't figured out what a forever home means, but the way things are going, I'm going to love that too!

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.
