Buddy is a 3-year-old, pure-bred, neutered, male GSD. He is 100+ pounds and is healthy, current on shots and very active. Buddy is house-trained and gets along fine with other large breed dogs. Buddy has had some basic obedience training and is also trained on the invisible fence. He is very, very friendly and greets even strangers with a wagging tail. Buddy does ok with kids but due to his size and some patience issues, Buddy should not go to a home with children. Buddy does not like cats or small dogs so he will not go to a home with cats or other small animals. Buddy would do best in a home where he could go to work with his owner or have a work-at-home owner. He gets very attached to his human and does not like being left at home even with his foster brothers. ** Buddy is only available for adoption in the MD/DC/VA area. 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.
