Hi, Im Jazz. Im a cute, petite, six-month-old pup with an abundance of puppy energy. My picture doesnt do me justice. Theres a little something else in my lineage besides Shepherd, but I think that just makes me extra special. I just got to my foster home and am trying very hard to learn the rules. Im a good girl in the house and dont bother anything thats not mine (but the trash can is very tempting). I love to play with my foster brother, and my favorite game is to get him to chase me all over the yard. I like to run after blowing leaves, and I toss and chase the spiky balls that fall from the sweet gum tree. I dont like my crate too much but settle down and nap after a few minutes. My foster mom thinks Im very cute when I get scolded because I sit down and hang my head. Im really trying to do everything right, I just make a mistake once in a while. I like to be the center of attention, and Im very affectionate and cuddly, but Im learning to share. Id love to find a home with someone who would spend a lot of time with me and teach me all the things a growing puppy should know. It would be really nice if I had another dog to play with too so I can work off some of my excess energy. Will you be my new Mom and/or Dad?

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.
