About Max
Status: Adopted!
Species: Dog
Ear Type: Natural/Uncropped
Handsome Max (#8) has been rescued for the fourth time, and we know this will be the the last. He is a 7-year-old, black and tan, pure-bred male, weighing about 80 pounds. Max is calm, confident and curious about new things. He is friendly to all dogs and people. Max walks well on the leash and may have some basic training. This good-looking, nice boy is what everyone is looking for in a best friend. Make Max your new best friend soon. ** Max is only available for adoption to residents of DC/MD/VA areas. For more information about VGSR, our dogs 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.
