My story

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

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

Zara 6278  really blossomed over the summer. She has put on some weight and eagerly looks forward to a pack walk….even with a man holding the leash (it took her awhile to become comfortable around men)! Zara is still very shy about eating so I put her bowl down and walk away or feed her outside by herself. She will take a treat readily but runs away with it and eats it in privacy. 
 
Zara has become very friendly with company and looks for attention. She gets excited around other dogs and does have a high pitched bark. Zara is protective of her home without being aggressive. She doesn’t seem bothered by squirrels or cats. 
 
Zara is afraid of thunder and if there’s a storm in the night, you will have a new companion in your bed. Snuggled right in. 
 
Zara will crate and likes to be in her crate. But not with the door closed. Zara is still a little shy with men, but doesn’t run and hide anymore. Ideally, she would be happiest in an all female household as an only dog or with a male. She can be bossy with other females. Approved adopters may email her foster at dianepmcintyre@gmail.com

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

An applicant first submits an application form with a non-refundable $10.00 (cash or check only) 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 (cash or check ONLY) minimum adoption donation to VGSR to help defray the costs of getting the dog fully vetted and ready to be adopted, and the adoption is completed.

More about this rescue

We provide a valuable service by finding good homes for the German Shepherd Dogs in our care. In the seven plus years that we have been in existence, we have found homes for over 2,400 deserving dogs. We are currently enlisting active volunteers to help with the task of placing some really wonderful, but homeless, German Shepherd Dogs. Our goal is to place all GSDs that are accepted into our Rescue in loving homes in which the GSD and the family will thrive together.
