Champ is a stunning, black-and-red, GSD with a wide German head, lovely brown eyes, and a glorious tail. This very masculine boy is classically beautiful and he has a classically lovely GSD temperament to match. Champ is a big strong dog, but he is also gentle, sweet, and willing, and he is good with people and other dogs. He is very interested in sniffing the 5 cats in his foster home and may ultimately be good with them as well; the jury is still out on that decision, however, as Champ has only been in his foster home for 3 days at this writing. Champ is looking for someone who will take him hiking, biking, and jogging in the woods and fields, as he is very athletic and loves to be out investigating the world. He knows some basic obedience commands (Sit, Down, Come, Wait), but would like to go to dog school to learn more exercises and to bond strongly with his new person. If you are an active, outdoorsy person with a love for big gorgeous goofy GSDs, Champ may be 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.
