Since being rescued by VGSR, this small black-and-tan beauty is learning that the world is a wonderful place. Princess was neglected while in her previous home - we believe that she was kept crated most of the time and never allowed free access in the house. She didnt get enough food or attention and is significantly underweight. Now with appropriate diet and exercise, we hope she will gain about 10 15 pounds. Princess enjoys taking long walks with her foster parents and canine sister. Her foster mom and dad are working on her social skills - shes still very shy with strangers but is extremely curious about things around her. When she gets to know you, Princess is very affectionate and loving- licking her foster Moms face and playing with her foster dad. She is relishing the attention she is getting. Princess is very active clearly enjoying the freedom she now has. She has some basic obedience skills but needs additional training. Because her behavior is very puppy-like and she has a tendency to jump and be mouthy, Princess will do best in an experienced home without small children. This very sweet girl is looking for a caring family she can call her own. Princess is fostered in Northern Virginia. 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.
