*** GREAT WITH CHILDREN AND ADULTS

*** WELL TRAINED*** LEASH TRAINED *** HOUSE TRAINED

Our German shepherd rescue and training operation is happy to announce for adoption a handsome example of the breed that goes by the handle of Dexter. This guy is 2.5 years old, well built, has great symmetry, poised, beautiful classic black and red medium length coat, laid back, loving and just downright adorable. Our boy has come back strong from a rough situation and to his credit he has chosen to not let his abuse define him. Dexter is now healthy, happy and strong, weighing in at 75 pounds but will probably have a finished weight of around 90 pounds. This guy has it all, extremely bright, a total love sponge, adores kids, loves other dogs, all Dexter wants is a family to love and take care of.

What stands out most about Dexter is his openness, his kindness and his total devotion. As the lead trainer for Dexter I was humbled by his mental strength, his openness, his total love and his human desire. This guy has everything that a loving family could ever possibly desire in a companion. Once completely healthy, Dexter, was able to complete our socialization and training programs with ease. During this process our boy was able to show a very high intelligence, strong desire to bond, openness, tremendous mental toughness, a loving nature and maturity. Dexter has no flaws and any family lucky enough to get him will truly be blessed. This boy defines gentleness, love and strength!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Rescue Dog Village Guardian, Inc dogs are boarded and placed in foster homes until permanent, loving homes are found. We do not have a facility to visit - our dogs stay in private foster homes until adopted. We do our best to get to know each dog in our care so that we may be able to match them to the home best suited for their needs.

If you see a dog that you are interested in adopting, the process is as follows:

Step 1: The Application
Fill out an application. Each prospective owner fills out an adoption application. We usually have no history of our rescue dogs and are therefore very careful about placing them in households with children.

You will need to provide employer information, explain why you want the dog, and describe your yard, your other pets and your former pets, if any.

Step 2: Vet Check
Provide a veterinarian reference.
MUST:
•Call your vets office and give them permission to speak to us.
----If one of our volunteers contacts your vets office and they do not have permission to speak to us, it will hold up processing your application or result in closing it due to the volume of applicants we receive daily.

• Provide all information about your vet
----name
----address
----phone number.

We respect and value our volunteer’s time and they do NOT HAVE TIME TO LOOK UP YOUR VETS INFORMATION. We appreciate your help and respect to make sure we have all the information we need.

NEVER OWNED A DOG OR DO NOT HAVE A CURRENT VET REFERENCE:
If you've never gone to one before, you will need to provide a reference. The group will contact them to ask about your ability to care for a pet.

Step 3: The Home Visit
Your application will be reviewed and sent to a volunteer in your area. The volunteer will contact you to schedule a home visit within one week.

We require that everyone in the immediate family, including your current dog (if you have one) come to the appointment to meet your potential new dog. Adopting a dog is a big family decision and requires a commitment from everyone. If you currently own a dog, it must be up to date on shots, spayed/neutered and wear an i.d. tag.

Dogs from animal shelters can be amazing escape artists. By visiting your home, we can help you identify potential escape routes, and keep your new dog safe and secure.

Step 3: The Adoption
Before you bring your new dog home, you must sign an adoption contract with Rescue Dog Village Guardian, Inc.

Please remember that adoption contributions barely cover our expenses. Additional donations are greatly appreciated and will help us continue our life-saving work.

IF ANYTHING PREVENTS YOU FROM KEEPING YOUR DOG
Sometimes situations arise which cannot be helped. If, for any reason, you are unable to keep a dog you’ve adopted from Rescue Dog Village Guardian, Inc, the dog cannot be given away.

It doesn’t matter how much time has passed since the adoption. You must either return the dog to Rescue Dog Village Guardian, Inc, or obtain approval from RDVG to transfer ownership to a friend or relative.

If you and the dog you would like to adopt seem to be well matched, we will respond to your application by email. Feel free to contact us at any time regarding the status of your application.
