Valkyrie is a kind and gentle girl. She is an AKC-registered Shepherd who sadly had to part with her family of 9 years because they were moving. Valkyrie has beautiful brown eyes. Valkyrie is extremely well trained and has wonderful house manners. She is house-trained and crate-trained, and she responds well to basic commands. Valkyrie absolutely loves car rides as long as she can sniff out the window to catch all the good scents passing by. Valkyrie also loves hikes in the woods and neighborhood walks and has very good leash manners. Dont let Valkyries age dissuade you - she is healthy and has many years and much devotion left to give. Valkyrie would be a wonderful first dog for a family because she is so easy to have around, or a loyal companion for a familys current dog. 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.
