Gender: Male Age: 2 years Color: Black Weight: 65 lbs. House-trained: Yes Crate-trained: Yes Special Needs: No Microchipped: No Neutered/Spayed: Yes Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Unknown Good with Kids: Yes Fostered in: Northern Virginia VGSR Tag # 3202 Levi is just over 2 years old and we think has a little bit of labrador in him. Levi gets along well with his four-legged housemates and even helps the neighbors wear out their 5 month old puppy. Cats are unknown but he does great around children and has learned to appreciate dogs of all sizes. He is making great progress on his leash manners and is starting to appreciate a good game of fetch. He will not win any awards for speed, but he will retrieve the ball for as long as someone wants to throw it for him. Levi is extremely laid back and wants nothing more than to be snuggled up next to his favorite person. Well, just about any person willing to be snuggled by a furry companion will do. He has a very bubbly personality; he sings with excitement when he recognizes a familiar car engine pulling up to the house and loves to initiate play sessions with his furry siblings. Levi rides well in the car and is crate trained. He enjoys sleeping in his crate at night and has been found taking mid-day naps in his crate on numerous ocassions. Levi is completely house broken, comes to his name when called and knows sit and down very well. As with most dogs, Levi will need to have his obedience training reinforced on a regular basis. Most who meet Levi fall in love with him. He is an enjoyable dog to be around and has a knack for making people smile. If you are looking for a constant companion, Levi is perfect for you! 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.
