Hi! My name is Wolfie. I am a German Shepherd mix. I have spent my entire life (14 months) chained outside. My foster mom rescued me so that I could have a better life. I am super-friendly and enjoy playing with other dogs. I think cats and chickens are to be chased. They won't stand still for me! Older children are best, as I have not learned that jumping is a no-no. I am a fast learner. I am catching on to crate- and house-training. I would make a great agility dog. I am ready to go when you are. I can jump at least 4 feet in the air (straight up!). I will soon be neutered and up-to-date on my vaccinations. Won't you please consider me? With time, love, patience and training I will make you the envy of the neighborhood. Wolfie is being fostered in the Shenandoah Valley.
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 $200.00 donation to VGSR, and the adoption is completed.
