Look at this beautiful face..... and Miss Maggie has the heart to go with it. Maggie is quite the lady but has no problem hanging with the boys of the pack. She loves to cuddle and be near you when your home but quiets down and goes to her crate for a nice nap when you leave. Maggie will let you know with a bark if she needs to go outside but of course she's gotten me a few times with barking just to go out to play too, lol. She knows sit and we are working on down and shake and although not having much practice out on a leash, she does well. She loves to spend time outside and go for walks. Maggie wasn't much of a sleeper when she came to us but after a few nights, she is sleeping soundly thru the night. We are going to give her run of the house soon and see how she handles it. I expect her to do fine as she was given run of the house before coming to VGSR. Maggie is truly one of the good ones and will be a great companion. 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.
