Max Vom Brandonhaus, affectionately known as Max, is a gorgeous long-haired black-and-red GSD. He is an easy-going, well-behaved, 4 -year-old. Max, an owner surrender, has adjusted from being an outside dog to living inside with ease. He is happy, sweet and moderately obedient (he needs some work in this area, but this will certainly improve with additional attention). He has not had a lot of experience on a leash. He loves people and will snuggle with you, given the opportunity. He gets along well with his foster sister, also a GSD, but seems to prefer human attention; he is delighted to have his head scratched and belly rubbed. Max is still learning about toys, but enjoys playing ball. Max needs to put on a little more weight. He is up-to-date on his shots and will be available for adoption after he is neutered. He is being fostered in Northern Virginia. ** Max is only available for adoption to residents of DC/MD/VA areas. Please check out our web site at www.shepherdrescue.org for more information about our organization, our dogs, and the adoption process. You may also download an application to adopt. 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.
