No Pictures Yet. Please check our web site for current updates. How many ways can you define sweet? Well, Kinsey has them all. She's definitely a people dog. She loves for you to roll the ball for her, she chases it down and actually brings it back. She just wants to be loved on so much. She's still a little hesitant approaching the other dogs, not quite sure of them. She's had no accidents in the house and sleeps through the night. Kinsey won't be coming to any adoption days for about 6 weeks. Poor thing has mange on her lower body. She's being treated now, and she's getting really good food to help her strength. With alot of TLC, she's bouncing right back though. So trusting, after coming to us in her condition. She's still available for private viewings and for adoption with info. on how to deal with her condition and the condition of other pets that might be in contact with her. 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.
