The Marshal is in town! Meet Marshal Dillon - he is of good moral character, friendly to all he meets and, if necessary, he will keep peace in the town. Marshal is probably between two and three years old, and once he fills in he will probably weigh around 75 to 80 lbs. He gets along great with other dogs, likes to ride in the car and is fairly quiet for a German Shepherd. He is house-trained and fine loose in the house while you are at work - although he is not above stealing a roll of toilet paper and running off with it! Marshal is a very friendly dog and likes to sprawl across your legs for maximum body contact when you pet him.
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.
