My story

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

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

12/11/24. Puppy Nelson was born on 10/06/2024. We know his mother is a GSD, and his father is unknown.

Current weight is 13.5 lbs, but he’s growing fast and probably will reach 50-60 lbs when fully grown.

Nelson is a littermate to Donner 6505, but he is being fostered in a different home.

Nelson has been to the vet for his first round of vaccinations and will be getting boosters and additional shots as recommended by the vet. He is also chipped.

Nelson lives with three other dogs and gets along with all of them. He also seems outgoing and friendly to people. A happy and healthy puppy overall.

Since he’s a puppy and he does mostly puppy things (eat, drink, poop, pee, play, get underfoot, and sleep), there isn’t much else I can say about him except that he’s very cute.

Nelson’s ideal adopter is someone committed to continuing the socialization and training needed for him to progress from a happy puppy to a happy and well-adjusted dog.

Nelson is being fostered in Arlington 22204. Approved adopters can contact me at arivederci@aol.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.
