Hi, I am Missy! I am a 1.5 year old, female pure-bred German Shepherd Dog with my own AKC papers. When I came to my foster home I was so scared and nervous that I hid in a corner all night. But after a day or so, I knew I could trust them and now I want spend all my time with them. I love to give them kisses and get belly rubs. I might be a shy girl at first, but I will be your best friend once I know you will give me all the love that I deserve. I have a frisbee that is my absolute favorite toy ever and I get so excited when you throw it for me. I am a very smart girl and can walk like a lady on lead, and like my crate alot. I even go in my crate on my own during the day when I want to take a nap. I also know not to chew on things other than my toys. My foster brother has taught me how to doggie play and now we play all day together. I even get to have other doggie friends over and we all get along really well. My family gave me up because they had young kids that scared me alot. They just move really fast and can be lound and rough sometimes. I would never hurt anyone, it's not like that at all because I am a super-sweet girl. I would just rather be in a home with older kids or adults that will be gentle with me. I would do really well as a second dog or as an only dog too. It doesn't matter as long as you will love me forever. I am also microchipped, spayed, very healthy and ready to come to your home. Do you have a loving and safe home to give me? I am just a sweet little lady with a gentle soul that needs someone to show me how to be a proud and confident German Shepherd. To meet me, contact my foster parents at michelle@michelleshort.com

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.
