Hi! My name is Zorro. I give my foster mom a blank look when she calls me that though, so she calls me Choppers instead, not sure why. I am 2.5 years old. I was supposed to be an explosives dog. My foster mom says shes not sure why I did not do so well there. She was told I did not have enough drive. She says Im plenty smart and she thinks I do have drive. I do chase things around the house really well, even when Im not meant to. I have spent all of my life living in a kennel, so Im not quite sure what to think of houses. Sometimes I get the concept of going potty on the grass. We are really working on the house-training. Ive only been in here for a week though, and my foster mom is sure I will pick it up quickly. I play really well with my temporary sister but I am a bit bossy. Im very scared around new people, but pretty confident when I get comfortable. I have not eaten much around the house but am a bit mouthy; probably I would not be so great around small kids. Cats look pretty tasty too. Im quite protective and work better than a doorbell. I have not had hardly any attention, and love, love, love belly rubs! You can email my foster mom at dawnlizbeth@mac.com for more information about me. ** Please check out our site at www.shepherdrescue.org for more information and to download an application. 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.
