Paris is probably about 2-3 years old and weighs about 75 pounds. Paris has only been here a couple of days, so we don't know too much about her. It is easy to tell that she's eager to please. She's smart and knows the basics of sit, stay, and down, and even tries to heel. She's still young and will need a few more lessons before she is set in her training. Right now what she likes best is to lie quietly at my side, but we know that she also likes to romp and play and fetch her ball. She's quiet and good in the house. She is good with other dogs and gets on fine with her five foster brothers and sisters, just wishes there were not quite so many on them. We will have to update you on Paris as we learn more about her. 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 $200.00 donation to VGSR, and the adoption is completed.
