My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Chase is a very sweet, exuberant young GSD mix who loves to go places with his humans. He is a happy go lucky boy who enjoys meeting new people and, especially, meeting and playing with other dogs. He seems to have an on/off switch - he is either in full play mode or conked out the typical puppy. We jokingly say that Chase is mixed with kangaroo and energizer bunny. Chase is aptly named as he loves to be chased around - either by his human family or his canine foster sister - especially if he has a stuffed toy in his mouth. His house manners and house training have improved significantly. He has some growing to do but we dont think he is going to be a large dog. Chase is very affectionate, and, while not a "Velcro" dog, likes to be close to his human family. Stay tuned for more updates as Chase settles into his foster home. Chase would love to find a forever home with a family who will be around most of the time, with older children (over 9 years) and possibly another dog to play with. 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.
