My official name is 'Snoop' Well, that was the name listed for me when I was dumped in a Prince George Co. (VA) shelter. I'm a big, playful, very handsome GSD puppy. And I'm looking for my forever home. I'm tired of moving around--and I just don't understand what's going on!! I get along well with other dogs. However, my foster mom says I "obsess" over cats....so it's better if they're not around me. Because of my energetic personality-- I shouldn't go to a home with children under the age of 14 years. My foster mom says I must go to a home with GSD experience and into a situation where my new family will spend LOTS of time playing with me. Obedience school sounds like a fun idea! Plus, I'm very good in my crate and very well house-trained. Did I mention that I love my soccer ball??

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.
