About Hazel
Status: Adopted!
Species: Dog
Ear Type: Natural/Uncropped
Hazel's only been with me a few days but she's a well-mannered, sweet girl. She was dumped at the SPCA one night, crammed into a too-small crate with ANOTHER German Shepherd. I'm still learning about her but so far she: walks well on a leash, makes a mess when she eats and drinks, likes to pounce on balls that bounce, is very quiet, rides well in a car, and likes being petted and brushed. ** Hazel is only available for adoption to residents of the DC/VA/MD areas. For more information about VGSR, our dogs, our application process or to download an application, please check out our web site at www.shepherdrescue.org 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.
