German Shepherd Dog / Mixed : : Male (neutered) : : Adult : : Large
Raven is very handsome with his solid black coat, white star on his chest, and a little white on the tips of his rear toes. He looks like hes wearing his best suit out to a special event. Hes a very intelligent, quick learner who wants to please. Hes had a rather unsettled life and is in search of a forever home where someone would spend a lot of time with him. He would like someone who would be patient, gentle, firm, and consistent to teach him the finer points of being a gentleman. He needs someone he can look to for guidance when he is not sure what to do. Raven has a lot of energy and likes to run and play with other dogs, but will never want to be far from his special human(s). He loves to ride in the car and will sit so he can rest his chin on the top of the window and take in the all the smells of the passing scenery. Raven is a good boy with a big heart and a lot of love to give. Would you be his special new forever 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. |
