Who wants to adopt the dog that could easily be the next upcoming Frisbee champion. Maxine has got what it takes. She can catch high throws, bad throws, and her ability to predict wind shear and trajectory is absolutely amazing. She runs light-speed to catch the Frisbee and then rockets back to you, drops it on your feet and barks at you to throw it again. No lie, she is one of the best Frisbee dogs I have ever met. On top to that, she is affectionate (loves to cuddle) and gets along with dogs that don't hassle her, cats and little kids. She knows quite a few commands and hand signals too. She is a bit shy at first and it takes her a couple of minutes to warm up to you. But once she does, you WILL get kisses galore. She is being fostered in western Loudoun County. For more information, please email contact@shepherdrescue.org. Act quickly - this little gem will get adopted at warp speed! Please check out our web site at www.shepherdrescue.org for more information about our dogs, our adoption process and to download an application. You must have a fully approved application on file prior to privately meeting our dogs. We do not have a facility, all our dogs are housed in private foster homes throughout MD/DC/VA areas. More information available on our web site, so please read through our web site before emailing questions, as it might save us both some time!

VGSR can only adopt dogs out in the Virginia/Maryland/DC area, no exceptions.

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 $250.00 donation to VGSR, and the adoption is completed.
