About Angel

  • Status: Adopted!
  • Species: Dog
  • Ear Type: Natural/Uncropped
Hi. My name is Angel. And truly, I am angelic. I have been through some difficult times in my short life but now I am on the road to recovery. I arrived at my new foster home on 8/24 after an extensive vet appointment. I am being treated for a horrible skin condition but the vet tells me when I am done with my antibiotics and other medications I will look and feel 100% better. Once I am healthy again my hair will start to grow back and I will be the gorgeous young girl that I should be. (My glamor shots will be coming when I feel better, but hopefully these photos will do for now.) I should be available for adoption later this fall. Will you consider adopting me? I am a sweet, petite, beautiful little girl with a great personality to match. I like all people (large and small) and have lived with kids before. I like dogs and cats. I used to have cat brothers and sisters and I enjoyed them very much but I will eat their food if I can get to it! I have some obedience training and will be happy to learn more at your side. I am pretty mild mannered but I'll bark to let you know when someone is at the door and I will make a good watchdog. Please check out our web site at www.shepherdrescue.org for more information about our dogs, our adoption process and to download an application. You must have a fully approved application on file prior to privately meeting our dogs. We do not have a facility, all our dogs are housed in private foster homes throughout MD/DC/VA areas. More information available on our web site, so please read through our web site before emailing questions, as it might save us both some time!

VGSR can only adopt dogs out in the Virginia/Maryland/DC area, no exceptions.

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 $250.00 donation to VGSR, and the adoption is completed.
