Boomer is a loving and playful 5-month-old male GSD mix (most likely German Shepherd/Lab/Boxer). He was rescued by a college student when he was 8 weeks old and trained on some basic obedience commands like sit, lie down, and shake paws. Boomer is house-trained and a very quick learner that is eager to find a loving family to adopt him. He is wonderful with kids and his foster families other dogs. Although not officially cat tested, Boomers foster believes he would probably think of a cat as a playmate and do just fine. If you are in search of a wonderful pup that loves to cuddle up next to you with lots of wet sloppy kisses, then Boomer is the dog for you! 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.
