Caesar is a neutered, male GSD, approximately 4 years old. He originally came into the Rescue about 2 years ago when he was dumped out of a car. He would not make eye contact with a human and did not know how to play with toys or bones. He has built up some confidence but needs someone who can spend time working with him on obedience and socialization. He is a sweet dog and enjoys being around his people which he shows by leaning on you with all of his 130 pounds. His ideal weight is around 110 so he could stand to lose a few pounds. He loves going on walks but needs to be worked with not to tug on the leash. He is good with the other German Shepherd dog in his household, but not other dogs, particularly small dogs and cats. He loves to be the center of attention and would probably do better as the only dog in a home. He is okay with children over the age of 12. He is house-trained, but not crate-trained. Do you have the time and patience to take Caesar into your life?

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.
