About Jackson
Status: Adopted!
Species: Dog
Ear Type: Natural/Uncropped
Meet the dog of many nicknames - Jackie Blue, Action Jackson, Cap'n Jackson, or just plain old Jack! Jackson is one of the best car riders that I have ever fostered. It is easy to forget that he is in the car with you. He is very friendly to all he meets and is super affectionate - he will lean up against you for a snuggle at any opportunity. He gets along fine with other dogs, but we are pretty sure that he would munch a cat if given the chance. He is house-trained, well-behaved, walks nicely with a Halti collar, does not chew and is such a good, good boy in the house. Jackson knows how to sit, down, speak, shake and sit up and beg, but he is confused as to which word applies, so when you hold up a treat he goes through his entire repertoire in an effort to earn his reward. This handsome hunk won't be available for long! 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.
