German Shepherd Dog / Mixed : : Female (spayed) : : Adult : : Large
Mia is a gorgeous female, black-and-red, 97 pound, family lap dog. She has been raised as an indoor pet, is house-trained and crate-trained. She loves people and identifies them by smelling their hair, a habit she has had since a puppy. She lives with a cat and a Brussels Griffon whom she respects and would never hurt. She is great with kids and knows basic commands such as sit, stay, and down, and knows the furniture is a No-No. She loves to play with her toys and comes with her crate, toys, brush, collar and leash. She has a very loving home and has been dearly loved her entire life. She is large female and would be best placed in a home with older children. She is very territorial like most GSDs and has a high chase drive. She will need a firm hand and an experienced GSD owner. She would be a great addition to any family. 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. |
