I'm Bonnie, a sweet, well-behaved, senior, female GSD that is living with my new foster family in Williamsburg, Virginia. My owners were moving and could not take me with them, but I LOVE my new foster family. I live with four children from 5 months to 7 years old that love me a lot. I especially like to be with my foster Dad who even took me to play a Putt-Putt golf game. I didnt play myself but I was great support and encouraged my Dad by standing right by his side. Car rides are my favorite activity, lying around near my family next to going for walks with the family in Colonial Williamsburg. My foster Mom is trying to help me lose a few pounds plus giving me a new supplement for my arthritis. Do you have room in your heart and home for a grand old gal like me? 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 donation to VGSR, and the adoption is completed.
