Hans is a beautiful, kind dog with warm brown eyes. Hans lived with his dedicated owner for nine years, but unfortunately his owner can no longer care for Hans. As you can imagine, Hans was very sad to leave his family of nine years - but over the past few weeks, he has really started to open up and show us just how lovely he can be when he is settled in a home. Hans loves to be next to you and will follow you everywhere, giving the occasional gentle kiss. He loves to have his chin scratched and his head rubbed. Hans truly appreciates milkbones and pig ears - especially in the safety of his own crate. Hans will take a while to settle into a new home. At first, he will likely be very afraid and will seek the security of his crate. Hans deserves to find a family who will give him much love and attention in the many years he has left to give back love and devotion. You can email run4stacatto@yahoo.com for more info on Hans. 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.
