German Shepherd Dog / Mixed : : Female (spayed) : : Adult : : Large
Molly is approximately a year-and-a-half-old, neutered GSD. She was living rough after her owners divorced and moved away. She is good with both dogs and cats, and is a very friendly dog. She loves to play, and even though she was an outside dog, she seems to instinctively understand house training. She has an enormous bark and will bark when strangers come to the house to let you know but is completely friendly. She is very willing to be trained, and in the week we have had her, has learned sit and down together with learning to heel on a leash (still perfecting this part) She is a big dog and just because of her size probably would be better suited in a home without very small children. She likes to ride in the car, but was car sick the first few times. Since then she has had no problems. We will continue working on her basic obedience. Molly is loving and gentle. She sleeps on the bed! and wants to play with the other dogs. She is very athletic and has very nice GSD conformation. I think she would be an excellent companion or working/utility dog. 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. |
