Hi everyone....My name is Moose. I think it fits me. I am 11 months old and really full of energy. I love to play with my foster brothers. My foster mom says that we "rock the house". VGSR took me in when my Dad got really sick and no one was there to take care of me. I had a great puppyhood and my foster mom says I am a real sweetie. She thinks I am a big ham when I try to curl up on her lap while she is watching TV. I only weigh 78 lbs, I don't know why she is whining. I love to play tug and my favorite toy is my softball. I am the happiest when I am curled up with someone on the couch...but, my softball runs a close second. I need leash manners, but I know how to sit for treats. I met the cat the other day..he was kinda boring. After a while, he started hissing at me and smacked me..that made me bark. I didn't do anything to him, so I am not sure why he smacked me. But, everyone here (except the cat) really loves my wonderful kisses.......

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.
