My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Gorgeous, playful with typical Mal behavior

Why is such a handsome and loving boy still available? Radar is a love-bug that wants adult humans of his own. He had a rough puppyhood (stray, shelter, bad adoption experience) and needs an experienced adopter (a Belgian Malinois is like a GSD on steroids). As a working breed and due to his high energy he won't be adopted to a home with young children. He loves to give kisses and get belly rubs, snuggle up on the couch, play fetch and go for walks and runs and needs a lot of exercise and engagement. He gets along and plays with his GSD foster siblings but constantly tries to hog his human's attention. 

Radar 4283 is still looking for his forever home. Do you want a dog that will run (or walk) with you, loves to play and snuggle, is a great protector? Radar wants to know someone before allowing pets, but has warmed up to many people Radar is a sweet boy and loves his people and their friends, but wears a muzzle in public places as people like to come and pet him without asking as he is such a handsome boy. He loves to play and chase/wrestle his foster siblings and is eager to please. He needs reminders to heel on walks, and an attentive walker to keep him calm when other dogs are passing by, but has made huge progress with training - he is eager to please and food motivated. Please contact his foster for more information or to meet him triebi@hotmail.com.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

An applicant first submits an application form with a non-refundable $10.00 (cash or check only) 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 (cash or check ONLY) minimum adoption donation to VGSR to help defray the costs of getting the dog fully vetted and ready to be adopted, and the adoption is completed.

More about this rescue

We provide a valuable service by finding good homes for the German Shepherd Dogs in our care. In the seven plus years that we have been in existence, we have found homes for over 2,400 deserving dogs. We are currently enlisting active volunteers to help with the task of placing some really wonderful, but homeless, German Shepherd Dogs. Our goal is to place all GSDs that are accepted into our Rescue in loving homes in which the GSD and the family will thrive together.
