Celia is a young, adult female German Shepherd Dog, about 70 pounds, spayed, heartworm-negative and up-to-date on shots. She's probably about 2-3 years old with a beautiful red and black coat and long, tall, slender build. She's very sweet and friendly with people and with dogs. We don't know how she is with cats. She's very energetic and eager to please, but has not had much of any training. She still has a tendency to jump when excited, so an adult household with some training experience is desired. She is crate-trained and is content in her crate overnight. Celia is being fostered near Charlottesville, VA, but will be attending adoption events in northern VA as well. You can contact her foster home at vadogrescue@aol.com if you have any questions about this pretty girl. 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.
