The details surrounding Ginger's surrender are a little hazy, but we do know it was no fault of her own. Ginger is a very petite and calm little girl. She was a little nervous the first few days with her foster family, but she has adjusted well and fits in nicely. She loves to play with other dogs, and learns very quickly which dogs in the house like to play, and which ones do not. Ginger isn't the least bit dominant and plays very nicely with smaller children. She rides extremely well in the car and will even nap if the ride is long enough. Ginger walks well on a leash and loves to see all the sights and smell all the new scents. Ginger is extremely affectionate and loves to give kisses. She is also extremely social and loves to help her foster mom around the house. Ginger has shown no food agression and shows no interest in the food bowls of the other dogs in the house. She doesn't even beg for people food. Ginger knows her name and comes IMMEDIATELY when she is called. She loves to run and chase her ball, she just doesn't quite have the hang of returning the ball to be thrown again. Ginger will make a lovely companion and she is excited to find her forever home! 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.
