Lobo - a rescued shepherd

Welcome to Virginia German Shepherd Rescue , an all volunteer 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of the German Shepherd Dog (and sometimes other breeds/mixes). We provide a safe haven for German Shepherds who have been abandoned in shelters, surrendered by their owners, or who have been the victims of abuse and neglect. We strive to place each dog into a stable, loving, permanent home. We serve all of Virginia and the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. area by providing a valuable service to find good homes for the German Shepherd Dogs in our care. Since our inception in 2001, we have found good homes for about 300 dogs a year. We are actively seeking new volunteers to help us in our mission to place good dogs in good homes. We rely solely on private donations and adoption fees to support our efforts to rescue deserving German Shepherd Dogs.
Donate

Each weekend we host an Adoption event where we showcase several of the great German Shepherds that are available through VGSR. If you are just beginning to think about adopting; have completed an adoption application; or just want to learn more about our terrific breed, please come and visit us at an Adoption event. See Events for announcement details and attending dogs.

Please review our Adoption Process so that you will know how to adopt a dog from us.

Foster Homes Needed

There are still German Shepherds waiting in shelters for a foster home. We would love to place many of these beautiful animals in a safe and loving home where they will get the care and attention they need until they are adopted. We are seeking people with German Shepherd experience or those willing to learn the breed who would like to share their home with a deserving GSD. Please see our "Volunteer" section for more information or "Required Forms" for a Foster Application.

Plan now to join us and TEE OFF FOR RESCUE. Spring weather is finally arriving and it is time to dust off those clubs and get ready for the best tournament of the year! GREAT DOGS & GOOD GOLF - It Just Doesn’t Get Any Better. The 6TH ANNUAL VGSR GOLF TOURNAMENT & AUCTION will take place on October 4, 2013. More information
