Supersized? You betcha! This guy has a head the size of a bushel basket and his legs are bigger around than John's arms. Thank doG this gentle giant is friendly and on the side of good! Warner gets along great with other dogs and enjoys catching balls. He is an excellent passenger in the car, house-trained, does not chew and does not need to be in a crate when you are at work. Our friends at the Reston Dog Park have named him Vern because of his oofy-doofy type of personality. So, if you are looking for a dog that has a huge bark to match his huge head, but is like Shrek underneath, Vern, (I mean Warner) is your guy!
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.
