Hey, over here! Shhhh can you keep a secret? Seriously, nobody knows this but me and I dont want it getting around. Okay now, Im going to trust you to keep this just between you and me. Ready? Im not a puppy. I know! I know! Youre surprised; I can see it on your face! Everybody who sees me thinks Im a puppy because Im puppy size. People take one look at me and say awww, isnt she a cute puppy. Then they come down real close and I start licking them and wiggling around, acting all puppy-like. And when they stand up, I add the finishing touch I jump on them! Everybody knows only puppies do that! And theyre all so impressed when they find out Im housebroken, crate trained and always come when called. Such a smart puppy. Nobody knows where I came so they dont know the truth, but Ill tell you since you promised to keep my secret Im almost 2 years old. Since nobody knows Im already full grown I get away with all the fun stuff that grownups cant licking, wiggling, jumping, stealing shoes, running really fast WHAT!? This is on the internet? RATS! That explains a lot of things. The lady Im staying with wont let me jump on her and makes me sit still before she feeds me. I thought she was just a little slow when she kept telling me she knew I could do it, but I guess she really did know. I might as well give it up and let her know that I also know down and shake and stop acting like walking so nicely on the leash is an accident. I bet she figured out I know better than to chew on her shoes too, but Im not ready to give that up yet. And Im not giving up any of my toys or playing with human puppies either. Next to cuddling, those are my very favorite things. After all, youre only as old as you feel and I still feel like a pup! 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.
