My story

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

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

Spike is a handsome 4 year old long haired GSD that came to us via a shelter that rescued him from a hoarding situation.  His coat was matted in the rear, he has flea dermatitis, and ears that need attention.  Even with all this going in he has been a gentleman allowing us to tend to his issues without protest attesting to his easy going nature. 
Spike has had  obedience training somewhere in his past as he knows basic commands.  He is very ball/ toy driven and engages with his human.  He is crate trained, gets along well with our other dogs, appears to be only mildly interested in cats, and is friendly greeting people.
Spike will be available for adoption once he has been neutered and has his skin/ ear issues resolved.  
Interested approved adopters looking to learn more/ meet this good looking boy can contact me rodschlemm@gmail.com.     Spike is being fostered in King George.

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.
