Lexy is a 3-4 year old female German Shepherd, or possibly a Shepherd mix. She is small for a Shepherd, only about 50 pounds, but fully German Shepherd in personality and attitude. Lexy would be great for an apartment or townhouse dweller; she likes being crated although she is also fine indoors on her own. She is not a barker, but would give an alert bark when someone comes. She loves to walk or run and is very friendly to every person she meets, including children. She is not good with cats, however, and only with other dogs after she gets to know them. Lexy is very smart and will quickly learn any new routine. She loves to go in the car and rides very well. She can jump a 6' fence, however, so she should not be left outdoors unattended. You can contact her foster home at vadogrescue@aol.com if you would like to meet Lexy.

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.
