My story

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

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

Looking for a Shepherd with all the traditional traits in a smaller manageable size? Meet Arlo, he is approx 2 years old and weighs 46 lbs. He is very athletic, agile, quick, and loves to play with our other dogs. He is very affectionate, eager to please, intelligent, and has had good training. Like all young adults his excitement level sometimes exceeds his training level and he jumps for joy seeing his person, but responds well to “off” and “sit” till he regains control. He has expressed interest in our cats, but has not tried to attack them. Dog savy cats that stand their ground would be OK with him.

He rides great in the car, protests only mildly when put into his crate especially if he feels he is being left out of a family activity, is house trained and sleeps well through the night..

His ideal adopter would be an active family that takes their dog with them everywhere, and is willing to continue his training and continue to challenge him. Hikes, runs, hanging around outside, snuggles on the couch, he is all in. Did I mention he is very affectionate.

interested approved adopters can contact me at rodschlemm@gmail.com to learn more about this delightful boy.

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.
