My story

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

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

George 6873 and his brother Hugo 6874 were part of a litter of 9 purebred GSD pups recently surrendered to the VGSR by a breeder who was unable to sell them. Hugo and George are kind of a big deal so they flew on a private plane (thanks to the awesome Pilots and Paws program) and made it to their foster home just in time for Christmas!

George, the liver pup with striking green eyes, is the runt of his litter but makes up for his smaller size with plenty of personality! When they first arrived at their foster home, this stunning boy didn't hesitate to take the lead in exploring his surroundings, saying hi to everyone and everything. He loves giving kisses and hilariously sassing the big dogs when playing. George also is passionate about the business of potty training and will get right down to it as soon as you take him out, because he knows there will be a party for him once he goes. George loves a George-themed party. 10/10 would recommend George. 

Both pups have done really well so far making the change from outdoor kennel lifestyle to being housedogs. They have been learning collars and leashes, crate training, potty schedule, stairs, interacting with medium and large adult dogs, and how to say hello to cats without earning a swift boop to the snoot. They are being fostered in Bedford, VA. 

Approved adopters who are interested in George are welcome to email his foster at tgillisp1@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.
