German Shepherd Dog / Mixed : : Female (spayed) : : Young : : Large
Becca has been returned to VGSR. Her current listing can be seen at www.shepherdrescue.org. She is older now. This gorgeous creature came all the way from Tennessee to grace us with her presence. She still has her puppy canine teeth, so the vet thinks she is about 5 months old. By the time she grows into those big ears and feet, she will probably be between 70-80 pounds. The brown markings on her chest and face are extremely striking and she will no doubt be a magnificient-looking adult. Right now, she is definitely in the puppy stage--into everything. She is having a blast running around with the rest of my pack, and is learning all about the "hierarchy." She is extremely bright (if I do say so myself)! She's only been here a week and she already knows how to sit and lie down. She is fascinated by my cats and is being taught not to chase them. Becca will need a forever family that has the patience, time, energy, and know-how to turn her into a proper young lady. Come and meet her at adoption days. 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. |
