About Jericho

  • Status: Adopted!
  • Species: Dog
  • Ear Type: Natural/Uncropped
Jericho is a wonderfully loving dog. We are not sure if he is full German Shepherd, but he has the personality, loyalty and intelligence of a GSD. He is still very much a puppy in activity level, but he knows how to behave inside the house. He gets along with other dogs, but he will try to be a bully if he can get away with it. He is fine with his foster brother, who takes the alpha role and keeps him in line. He rarely barks, not even at the dogs that walks by every day. He knows some simple obedience commands, but would definitely benefit from an obedience training class. He is very smart and eager to please. He has not tried to counter surf, and weve had no problems with him in the home. He lived with 2 cats, but he still may chase them. So only dog-savvy cats for him. He did not appreciate the crate, yet I think he can grow to like it. He has proven himself trustworthy enough that he has free roam of the house over night. He is great with the kids, ranging in age from 2 9 years old. Jericho just wants someone that is going to let him know every day how much they love him. In return he will be a terrific dog and a great addition to your family. Please check out our web site at www.shepherdrescue.org for more information about our dogs, our adoption process and to download an application. You must have a fully approved application on file prior to privately meeting our dogs. We do not have a facility, all our dogs are housed in private foster homes throughout MD/DC/VA areas. More information available on our web site, so please read through our web site before emailing questions, as it might save us both some time!

VGSR can only adopt dogs out in the Virginia/Maryland/DC area, no exceptions.

Although donations of all types are needed, our primary need is foster homes for our lovely dogs while they wait for their new family to find them. Fostering is an extremely rewarding experience. Vet care is paid for by our rescue, and we can even provide you with food. All YOU need to add is love and security.

The adoption process starts with the applicant filling out the adoption application. This can happen at any time during the process, before or after having met a GSD that might be the ideal companion. (It's an advantage to have a pre-approved application on file with VGSR. It should be stressed here that being pre-approved does not mean that any potential adopter can select any available dog at will and take that dog home immediately. VGSR will exercise its best judgement as to which GSD will be the best match for that specific adopter based on a number of qualifying criteria. Many GSDs that come to us are matched up with their new people very quickly because their people have been pre-approved.) The applicant then submits the application form with a non-refundable $10.00 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 donation to VGSR, and the adoption is completed.
