01/23/2026: Sadie is the sweetest dog ever! She is a total velcro dog - never letting me out of her sight. She is very playful. She loves to fetch her ball almost as much as she enjoys having me wrestle it out of her mouth! She is great with other dogs regardless of size that we meet on our daily walks. She plays well with all the other dogs in our daily visits to a local dog park. Sadie obeys commands: Sit, Stay, Down, Go on your bed. She can sometimes leash pull on our daily walks though with the use of a prong collar she heels beautifully. She is highly treat motivated and LOVES her Milk Bones! She still occasionally lunges at cars (only at night) but takes corrections very well (No). All-in all she is the most amazing girl ever! She's a wonderful companion in search of a loving forever home.

 

Two years ago: Timberly 6294 is a young girl who has gorgeous eyes and is a complete sweetheart! She came out of a rural shelter as an owner surrender due to a divorce. We have no idea what her life was like prior to coming into VGSR but we believe she was likely kept in a crate or kennel most of the time. She is shy and cautious when meeting new people and takes a little bit of time for her to warm up. Once she is comfortable she is the sweetest girl who loves getting belly rubs and giving smooches! She loves laying by the door and looking outside. Timberly is full of sweetness and is affectionate. She is a Velcro dog who bonds quickly, loves to be close by and follows her people throughout the house. She enjoys napping on the couch, chewing a good bone and she loves sniffing every inch of the yard. She has exhibited a prey drive and enjoys chasing squirrels and birds. She has a playful side and will chase a ball and run zoomies.  She walks pretty well on leash and did great during a 2 mile walk with a male GSD. She enjoyed all the smells and was very polite to all people and dogs who passed by. She rides really well in a car and enjoys going to work with her foster dad some days. She does well in a crate after having time to settle. She knows some basic commands like "sit" and has pretty good manners other than the occasional excited jump to give kisses.  She is house trained. Timberly would likely not do well in a home with a cat based on her interest in wildlife. Timberly lives with older children and does well with them. Timberly needs an adopter who can be patient with her, allow her time to adjust to her new home and help build her confidence. If you're looking for a sweet girl who is a great size and will make a great companion, Timberly is your girl. She has been vetted, microchipped and spayed. Approved adopters may email her foster parents at rdgwdc1@gmail.com.
