If you are looking for the most loving, absolutely can't love you any more pure-bred German Shepherd, Sushi is for you. She has the typical characteristics of a pure-bred, but her predominant quality is her loving character towards everyone and especially children. Sushi is six years old and is originally from Japan, hence her name, Sushi. It will be love at first sight when you meet you. She is the type of dog who would be happy to sleep at the foot of your bed, if you let her. She is used to jogging three miles/day with her current and only owners. Her other predominant character is her alertness and ability to tell you something is going on before you even hear a sound. She is good at making sure you clearly understand something is going on around the house, particularly if someone is entering your yard or about to knock on the door. And she's cute too.

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.
