Allie's a playful girl, but still a little on the nervous side. She doesn't like loud noises or loud voices, and runs to a corner to feel safe when that happens. She had puppies a couple months ago (one has already been adopted and Gator is still waiting for his new home), and is adjusting to not having them around. She has a low degree of heartworms and needs to put on a little more weight (both of which will be remedied within a few weeks), but other than that she's a beautiful, healthy girl! Allie knows sit, shake, is good on-leash and is very quiet. She loves attention and having her ears scratched, and has recently realized the benefits of rolling over for belly rubs! She likes to be nearby, but isn't under foot all the time. She would do well in a house with another dog as a playmate. 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.
