Onyx is a 16-month-old, black-and-tan, spayed, microchipped female GSD. She is a petite little girl with classic GSD markings, an especially beautiful face, and a tail any other GSD would die for!! Onyx was an owner surrender to a shelter and doesnt understand what has happened to her. She is a loving, intelligent girl who craves attention and will bond very quickly to her new owner. Onyx is good with other dogs and is currently living with a furry foster brother and sister. Since she was an only dog in her previous home, she has had to learn/is still learning about life in a multi-dog household and the corresponding pack rules" and "pecking order" that go along with it. Onyx is good with our cat, checking him out when he waltzes through, but leaving him alone for the most part. Onyx knows some basic obedience, sit, down, stay and she walks pretty well on a leash. Shes eager to please and learns quickly, making her an excellent candidate for additional training. Onyx is totally house-trained, but not crate trained, she loves her stuffed squeaky toys and a good game of keep away. If youre looking for that special girl who will be your loving and faithful companion, come by and meet Onyx at one of our Adoption Days.

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.
