German Shepherd Dog / Mixed : : Female (spayed) : : Young : : Large
Lady arrived at her foster home scared, car sick, and very stinky. Its amazing what 24 hours and a nice bath can do for a girls disposition. She was initially intimidated by her new foster brother, but was pawing at his rump trying to instigate play the next morning. She likes to play in the water and will dig in the bowl, or put her whole leg in the 5 gallon bucket. Lady likes to snuggle and climbs up in her foster mom's lap for hugs. Shes just beginning to learn about house manners and is adjusting nicely. She needs to build up her confidence when faced with new situations. Because Lady is still so new to the rescue, she is still being evaluated. Her foster mom will update her information as she learns more about Lady 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. |
