Monty is an adorable shepherd mix who has lots of love to give. He has eagerly greeted each new person he meets with lots of kisses and just loves to be petted and will quickly roll over for a belly rub. He has interacted great with both the other dogs in his foster home. He appears to be house-trained and has not shown the urge to chew on anything in the house. He knows a few basic commands, but like all puppies, he will need consistent training in his new home. Monty is only available for adoption to residents of DC/MD/VA. Please check out our web site at www.shepherdrescue.org for more information about adoption or to download an adoption application. 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.
