Daisy is an 11-month-old, pure-bred, sable, female GSD. She was an owner turn-in at a local shelter and shows absolutely NO signs of being abused or neglected. The quote from the shelter was "She is stupid friendly with people." Daisy is very smart and learns quickly. She now takes food from my hand nicely, knows sit, walks on a leash and recalls very well. Daisy gets along with my two female dogs, all my kids and was curious about our cat but showed no aggression towards her. She is all puppy and loves to play especially with toys, people, and other dogs. I am bringing her to Gainsville on Saturday and need to get some pictures taken so I can get her on the web site, but if I were a betting person I would bet that she does not remain unadopted long enough to make it up there. She is colored very similar to "Shelbi" that is on the site, but is just a tad lighter in the face. Please check out our web site at www.shepherdrescue.org for more information about our dogs, our adoption process and to download an application. You must have a fully approved application on file prior to privately meeting our dogs. We do not have a facility, all our dogs are housed in private foster homes throughout MD/DC/VA areas. More information available on our web site, so please read through our web site before emailing questions, as it might save us both some time!

VGSR can only adopt dogs out in the Virginia/Maryland/DC area, no exceptions.

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 $250.00 donation to VGSR, and the adoption is completed.
