***** Dirk has been adopted. Hedda is still available. Im Hedda (left-female), black & tan, and this is my brother Dirk, light red & black and lighter color around the nose. Our foster Mom & Dad think we are about 7 weeks old and will be ready for a new home on June 9th. We traveled 2 days from South Carolina with several really nice volunteers so we could find good homes through VGSR. This is such FUN! We play outside with 3 really big (4 legged) foster siblings, are bored with the cats, like the little baby pool and wrestle over any toy my brother has. We chew giant bones, chase balls, find sticks and stuffed animals everywhere we explore. Butterflies are fun to chase and we just unplanted some of Moms new flowers. Then she put this fence thing up so we cant help with the garden anymore. We like to snuggle and kiss for a few minutes now but cant hold still long! Hedda (vigorous battle maid) knows her name well and Dirk (people ruler) is still practicing. House training is going very well because we like to potty outside. If we are tucked in our crate we call at the top of our lungs for Mom or Dad to let us out to go. You will see our 3 other litter mates (sisters) on the VGSR site, too. We are looking for our forever home with a Mom or Dad that is home most of the time. Are you ready to help us grow and learn? 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.
