My story

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

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

"Oppie" is a GSD mix, what he is mixed with is unknown. His petite size at approximately 4.5 months makes it likely that he will remain on the smaller size (no greater than 40 pounds full grown).  He arrived to foster emaciated and timid however within a few days he blossomed into a grateful and playful puppy. He is a snuggly, affectionate little guy.  If you have ever wanted a German Shepard lap dog, he is it.  Outside he is curious to find sticks and play with his toys.  He does have ball drive like most GSD which has been helpful in training.  He will do anything to play with his squeaky ball.  He is currently doing well with crate training, potty training and leash training.  He learns quickly and is willing to please.  He has been great with our dog “Molly” (8 year old Beagle). He follows her every move as if she is the leader of the pack.  I think he will do well in a home that has another dog.  He has not had any exposure to cats, yet.


Oppie is scheduled to be neutered January 14 with our local veterinarian.

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.
