Hi there, Im Luna. Let me tell you a bit about myself My foster mom calls me Looney Tunes, Im 16 months old, friendly, but will alert bark [deep bark] when needed. Im about 70 pounds, tall, good with cats, dogs [big and small] and havent met a person who isn't my best friend. I love children. Im playful, love to play ball, love to snuggle, and walk well on a lead. Mom doesnt crate me and Im totally house-trained, except for the occasional piddle if surprised or I get too excited. During the past three months since Ive been back with my foster mom, the issue has really slowed down, but every now and again, I still piddle. It is no big deal to her as she has wood-laminate floors and clean up is a cinch. Mom thinks the piddle issue will quietly go away as I mature in a gentle, loving household. I love water, carry around my stuffy and sleep on the bathroom rug, just like I did during the four-months I stayed with my foster mom as a baby before my first adoption. I need a home which has children; another friendly dog, if possible; no crate; easy-clean floors; fenced yard and a stay-at-home parent. That will be the best environment for me to mature. Oh, and speaking of another friendly dog, Pauly, is on the VGSR other available dogs page. He and I make the perfect team, and with us, the best description of your home would be heaven on earth. His adoption donation toward my foster moms rescue of choice, VGSR, is $150. But, if you consider the Pauly/Luna team, his adoption donation is $100, just simply because it would be my foster moms dream-come-true to have us go to the same home. What do you say; do you want to find out more about our wiggle-waggle team? Please check out our web site at www.shepherdrescue.org for more information about our dogs, our adoption process and to download an application. You must have a fully approved application on file prior to privately meeting our dogs. We do not have a facility, all our dogs are housed in private foster homes throughout MD/DC/VA areas. More information available on our web site, so please read through our web site before emailing questions, as it might save us both some time!

VGSR can only adopt dogs out in the Virginia/Maryland/DC area, no exceptions.

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 $250.00 donation to VGSR, and the adoption is completed.
