About Java

  • Status: Adopted!
  • Species: Dog
  • Ear Type: Natural/Uncropped
Meet Java. Java is a wonderful 8 year old black and tan female who is an owner surrender. She has taken to her foster family like a fish to water as shown at a local doggie swimming pool where she is practicing her "doggie paddle" and is strengthening her weak back legs. But don't let that fool you, she runs with the big dogs, her foster GSD sisters, and is working those yams in serious doggie play. Java acts like a much younger dog. She loves to go on walks and car rides. She has also found where all the toys are hidden and begins many play sessions with her sisters. Ms. Java aka "Big Dog" as her foster family calls her walks well on a leash, is house trained but can not be crated or kenneled since she has tried to chew her way out of both. She is afraid of thunder and lightning and will pace endlessly until the storm passes. Sometimes, watching a good TV show with her family calms her down during these stressful times. What is the perfect home for Java? It should be a home where someone is home for most of the day to keep her company. She is very people oriented but can do well by herself when necessary. The home can have other dogs and or cats since she gets along with both. Children would be fine, as long as they are older. 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.
