Hello! My name is Sweetie. I am a female, pure-bred German Shepherd. I am sad, but my owner wants the best for me. My colors are red,beige,black. My weight is 72 pounds. I was born on January 12, 2001, so I am 4 years old. You would never know that I am 4 years old. I love to swim, play with my football and baseball. I am good around children over 5 years, get along with other dogs, but cats are an unknown. I love to fetch toys and play Frisbee. When you say car ride, boy do I run to the car because I just love to ride around. I heard that I have never been socialized out in the world around people, and I do not like loud noises, or a garden hose. I love to duck my head and feet in water, and also to keep my football clean. I am scared when I meet strangers, but if you throw my football, then we can play. I not sure about coming to the adoption days because of all the people . If you would like more information about me please email Patti406@lycos.com. I am being fostered in MD

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.
