My story

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

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

Hi there! I’m Bear, a 1-year-old male German Shepherd, and I’m here to find my forever home with an active, loving family who can keep up with me and my enthusiasm for life!

I’m a super quick learner and already know basic commands like sit and stay. I’d thrive with continued training and mental stimulation. I need a family who loves outdoor activities as much as I do. Whether it’s hiking, running, or playing fetch in the yard, I’m ready to keep up.

I am currently living with 2 small children and I am working on being less playful around them. I love playing with my foster sister, a 7 year old GSD! I do have a protective side. I’ll alert you to anything unusual going on outside — just keeping an eye on things to make sure my family is safe. I am working on not barking at other dogs on our walks.

I’m looking for a home where I’m not left alone for long hours and a secure yard to run and play would be best. Since I'm still an energetic puppy, I might do best with only older children. Ready to give me the forever home I've been waiting for? I can't wait to meet you!

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.
