My story

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

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

The shelter named this guy Aladar but we just call him Al. He is incredibly friendly to everyone and is so sweet. He just wants love! And snacks, he really likes the snacks. He knows a few basic commands and is housebroken, has a very strong focus and is eager to please. He responds well to positive reinforcement so training shouldn’t be too difficult. He does not seem to possess that aloof, standoff vibe that German Shepherds are known for. He is goofy and very social. He’s on the smaller side at 55 pounds but he is strong and well proportioned.  He whines and grumbles about going in the crate but once in, he calms down and settles. He does well with my senior female shepherd and my kids. He is such a special boy and will be a wonderful addition to any family.

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.
