About Keri

  • Status: Adopted!
  • Species: Dog
  • Ear Type: Natural/Uncropped
Keri is a very sweet girl who wants a home to call her own. Picked up as a stray she still needs to gain about 5 pounds and is shy at first but warms up and gives sweet kisses. She is a low energy dog and after a morning walk loves to sleep at your feet for the rest of the day. She loves people and will follow you from room to room. Keri is housetrained and left loose in our kitchen when we are gone. She rides great in the car and is calm in new places. She will sit, down and shake hands for treats and walks pretty well on a leash. We would recommend a home with older pets and children. Keri is good about leaving situations that make her uncomfortable but children would need to be old enough to understand that when she walks away to leave her alone. She tolerates our energetic 2 yr old Shepherd but will growl at him if he tries to play roughly. Keri has some hip dysplasia which is common in senior GSDs. She takes a medication daily to keep her comfortable. This is an incredibly sweet dog with lots of love to give. She's low key and just wants a calm place to sleep and her own people to love! 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.
