My story

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

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

Timmone came into rescue from an overcrowded rural shelter where he was taken in as a stray. He came into his foster home a bit insecure but is learning that it is a safe and loving environment and he is allowed to run and play and receive lots of love and affection. Although we don't know much about Timmone's history, it is apparent that he may not have had the comforts of a normal dogs life. He is learning to play with balls or toys without the urge to destroy them. He may not have had the luxury of a soft bed during his life and is learning that he does not have to sleep on hard floors. It is heartwarming to see Timmone enjoying the affection that he truly deserves. Timmone is becoming a very nice well rounded dog in his foster home. Timmone has learned new things since being in his foster home including, verbal and hand commands, crate training, house training, and is working on his leash manners. He is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, neutered, and heartworm negative. Timmone is friendly with people and does better with slow introductions. He is mostly tolerant of other dogs. He seems tolerant of the resident cat and seems to enjoy watching the cat at a distance. Timonne is affectionate and does enjoy being with his person/ people. He is moderate energy and enjoys running in the yard or peaceful walks. Timmone sleeps very well through the night after lights off and does not bark at all until he gets excited to see his person in the morning. If you are interested in meeting Timmone please email his foster at donnab.equicare@gmail.com. Timmone is being fostered in Isle of Wight County close to Smithfield VA.

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.
