I am Karl, Mr. personality. I am loveable huggable and above all obedient. I love people and I love cats but I will chase them if they run away from me. I love playing ball, in fact, you can starve me as long as you play ball with me at least two to three times a day. Otherwise I will drive you mad with anxiety. Ok now enough about my good stuff I am a huge poppy and weight about 110lb of muscle no fat. So watch out I could be even bigger when I am fully grown. It also means I will be tough to handle if you do not have the energy to walk me a few times a day. I do not have what they call the best of manners when it comes to leash walking but boy I love to learn and I am getting better every day. As for my history, I was put in the foster care from a home. My mom was going to be evicted from her house because my other dog brother and I barked at each other all day long. Oh dont cry for me I am very happy where I am now with no dogs and just a Cat. Of course the cat is gone hiding because she is scared of my size and thinks I might have her for dinner... but what she does not know yet is that I used to cuddle with my cat sister in my other home wait till she finds out .. she wont leave me alone. I am house trained so do not try to put me in a crate as I would get claustrophobic in that small spacecome on I weigh 110 lb and with those big 48 inch crates I could hardly stand up without bending so no crate for me please. My fosters tell me that I am the most lovely dog they ever fostered.. ehm!!! I wonder if they say that to all their fosters? 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.
