About Dirk
Status: Adopted!
Species: Dog
Ear Type: Natural/Uncropped
Dirk is a wonderful, handsome, black-and-red pure-bred German Shepherd Dog with an easy going personality. His picture doesnt do him justice and better ones will follow. We think he is about two years old, but he may be a little younger. Dirk is happy playing with his foster canine sister or his foster humans but is also content to play alone. He loves ball, tug of war, running around the couch or just chewing on his nylabone. Belly rubs also rate high on his list of favorite things. He is house- and crate-trained (although crating is not necessary), but needs to learn basic commands. Dirk is neutered and up-to-date on his vaccinations. He is underweight right now and should probably be about 75 lbs. This great boy deserves a loving home, is it yours?
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.
