Hello, everyone. As you can tell from my pictures that I'm a very scared little boy right now. I say this because my brother and sister and I were dumped in the shelter by our owner who wanted to start breeding pitbulls. Right now I'm unsure of what is going on in this great big world that I'm in. Right now I'm in this home with other big dogs who just love me. My confidence level needs to be worked on, and my foster mom told me that in time I will learn that she is here to help me to understand this big world. Maybe she is right I visited my very first adoption day today. What an experience this was, and yes, I was nervous and scared. Having kids come up to me and love on me made me feel so much better. Given time, I will understand that I'm in a safe and loving place. Please come love on me at some of the adoption events.

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 $200.00 donation to VGSR, and the adoption is completed.
