I am the waggiest dog youll ever meet! Of course, if you had just finished nursing eleven yes, eleven! beautiful puppies, you would be wagging too. I came into VGSR with eleven babies, and now that theyre on their own, I need a new home too. I get along with dogs, and adore the 9-year-old girl who lives next door. Havent seen much of the resident kitty, but even when I hear her meowing, shes not very interesting. I am a petite GSD mix, definitely with GSD intelligence I dont miss a thing. I am a very gentle treat-taker, but gosh, do I enjoy eating. Thats ok, though, because I need to put on a few pounds. After only two days with foster mom, I like to sit in front of her with my best what can I do for you now? expression. The vet says Im between 2 and 2 years old, check out my pearly whites! I am quite skittish when you first meet me, and Ill cringe if you move too quickly before we get acquainted. Once I know you, though, I sure like to be loved up on. Ill put my head in your lap and look up at you with my beautiful dark eyes. My tail will wag every time you walk in the room. Now that my puppies are whelped, on March 10 and 11 I will be treated for heartworms. As soon as I am recovered, I will be ready for a new home! 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.
