Kaiser is half of a beautiful pair of German Shepherds who were well cared for at one time, but were left behind when their owners moved (see Gretel also (ADOPTED)). Kaiser is 7 years old, neutered, up-to-date on shots, and in good health. He is great with people, and has been around kids as well. Kaiser had some obedience training and agility training and reportedly did some work as a therapy dog. Kaiser comes from eastern European bloodlines and is a beautiful black-and-red dog. Kaiser has been with Gretel (adopted) since he was a pup, but he will adjust to another dog as well and will be content to let the other dog play the alpha role. Kasier is not a big barker, but he talks a lot and loves to tell you all about his day. He likes to have company while he eats and he is a very loyal and devoted dog. In spite of being dumped by an owner who couldn't be bothered with moving him again, he is very friendly and trusting of people, even strangers. Kaiser is being fostered near Charlottesville, VA, but will attend some northern Virginia adoption events. You can contact his foster home at vadogrescue@aol.com if you have any questions about Kaiser. ** Kaiser is only available for adoption to residents of DC/MD/VA areas. Please check out our web site at www.shepherdrescue.org for more infomation and to download an application for adoption. 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.
