My story

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

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

Meet incredibly handsome Kylo, he is estimated to be about 4 years old and came to the rescue from a hoarding situation.  He was initially very  timid around us and took comfort in being around one of our other fosters.   It took about a week for him to decompress before we started getting a slight tail wag and wanting to be pet. Kylo is crate trained, has good recall, is leery of cats, and is initially wary of other dogs, but given proper introductions he warms up quickly.   He tends to freeze in position if his leash gets underneath his feet so somewhere in his past he may have been tied up.  He walks well on a leash without pulling. He has just started to interact with toys and wanting to play. Kylo has continued to open up and his personality is beginning to show (see video) .  He is a gentle boy and needs a secure home to call his own.  

Kylo would do best in a quiet home with another confident dog to interact with.  He needs someone to be patient with him until he developed trust in them.  
 

Approved adopters interested in learning more about Kylo can contact me at rodschlemm@gmail.com.   Kylo 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.
