My story

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

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

Meet Spice, a 6-month-old German Shepherd with an inspiring spirit! Known lovingly as “Spice Girl” or “Spicy,” she came to the rescue timid and wary of people, needing time to decompress and find her comfort zone. Since then, Spice has blossomed into a sweet, playful, and adventurous pup who’s discovering the joys of being a dog.

Affectionate and a little goofy, Spice loves engaging with people once she feels safe. She’s progressing well with potty training and is almost fully housebroken. While she’s still adjusting to the leash and might resist it initially, with more exposure, she’ll continue to improve. Due to her tendency to bolt when startled, Spice needs a securely fenced yard for her safety.

Spice would thrive in a home with another dog to learn from, or with a family dedicated to helping her grow. She isn’t suited to spending long periods alone and would be happiest with people around to support her in this journey.

If you have been approved by VGSR and are interested in Spice Girl, you can email vgsrfosterkim@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.
