Candy is a beautiful girl. Her father is a Czech Police dog and her Mom is from West Germany. She has that nice build. We got her at 12 weeks old and brought her to our home. She has been inside until approximately 8 weeks ago. Due to health problems we can no longer keep her. She is house-trained and crate-trained. She hasn't been destructive in our home. She will move things from one room to another, but never has she harmed the sock or brush or whatever she picked up. She has good house manners and likes to sit on the couch in your lap, but then will go and lie in her cubby (crate) and rest. She likes her cubby. She likes to chase the cats here, but never ever hurts them. I think they like it, too. She plays with a Lhasa Apso and is very careful not to bite hard. If the small dogs whimpers she stops right away. She has all the energy of an 8-9-month-old GSD puppy. But she also calms well. She comes when you call her and likes to be petted. She is a wonderful dog and we regret that we must part with her, but are confident that the rescue will find her a wonderful home. If you are looking for a great love, she will give you all her love and devotion. Candy is only available for adoption in the DC/MD/VA areas. Check out www.shepherdrescue.org for more information about adopting, as well as 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.
