Rosa is a shy, sweet girl. She has plenty of energy and can run with the best! She can go to the park and run for hours or lay on the floor and take it easy! She wants to please! Rosa will be a great family girl as she likes to hang out and be in the middle of everything. She will be the friend that you will want to come home to everyday! She is a very loving and sensitive girl. She loves her toys and is getting used to her crazy foster brother and sister! Rosa is a ham and loves her picture taken also! Rosa wants to please and will take correction easily. Rosa is going to fill the void anywhere she goes and will be a velcro girl! Rosa is a beautiful girl and knows how to work it!!! Rosa should have at least a five foot fence when playing outside as she has been known in the past to be a jumper! Rosa should have someone that has some shepherd experience since she will need her training and social skills worked on. 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.
