My story

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

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

Who needs a new best friend?! Bane’s personality makes him perfect for anybody looking for a dog to be their new side-kick and adventure buddy. Bane is a typical Velcro shepherd. He bonds fast and loves his people to the moon and back. Bane came into VGSR very very skinny. He is getting 3 meals a day but still needs to gain weight but he is looking much better now. He is picking up quickly with training and is eager to learn. Likely because Bane was starving for so long, he is now easily tempted to counter surf but won’t do it if you are around and watching. He is pretty good in a crate and definitely needs to be crated when left alone (at least for now). He does great with other dogs.  After he gets to know another dog he tries to play but takes correction well if the other dog doesn’t want to play.  Bane has moderate energy. He is not high energy but he does need a productive outlet for what energy he does have. He walks very well on a leash and doesn’t pull. He loves walks, hikes, and the beaches and farmers market adventures he has been on. Bane loves his people SO much and he can get excited easily when he has been separated, even if it’s only for ~10 minutes. Due to his size and excitement at times, he is not a fit for little kids. Bane has not been tested with cats but he might do okay. Lastly, Bane is heartworm positive and has just started the moxi-doxy protocol for treatment. Its super easy and nothing more than continuing his monthly treatments. If you are an approved adopter and interested in learning more about Bane, you can contact his foster mom at emily@hartman1.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.
