My name is Madeline, and I love being part of a family. My favorite times are when the whole family is hanging out together. I am a homebody, although I like to take walks, run and play with my owners. I have very good house manners and I love every person that comes to visit me. I am gentle and I dont jump, lick, or bark unless someone knocks on the door. I am very tolerant of children, even babies. The cat that lives here is another story she makes me very anxious. I can tolerate other dogs, although I am not interested in them and would prefer if they left me alone. At night I like to sleep in mom and dads room or in the hallway where I can keep an eye on the babys bedroom door, too. I am timid in new situations and tile floor makes me nervous, but once Im at home I am fine. I have been with my current family for 3 years, but they cant keep me anymore. I would love to bond with you and make you my new family. Will you please take me home?

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.
