Miss Nina is the happiest dog around. When she was found by animal control, she appeared to have been hit by a car. Even with these injuries, she was so very sweet and good-natured. Since then she had some surgery to repair two fractures and she has recovered nicely. Nina's VGSR foster mom has been her nurse and therapist. Pretty Nina is doing very well with all the resident dogs in her foster home and would be better placed with another dog in the household, but should go to a home without cats. She is about a year old, still full of puppy energy, and would do best in a home without small children. Nina is eager to please but will need some obedience training. She will weigh about 65 pounds. She is house-trained, crate-trained, does well on the leash, and is up to date with vet care. Nina is always in a good mood and everyone admires her for her courage. She will make a very special addition to a family. Sweet Nina is ready to meet you.

Although donations of all types are needed, our primary need is foster homes for our lovely dogs while they wait for their new family to find them. Fostering is an extremely rewarding experience. Vet care is paid for by our rescue, and we can even provide you with food. All YOU need to add is love and security.

The adoption process starts with the applicant filling out the adoption application. This can happen at any time during the process, before or after having met a GSD that might be the ideal companion. (It's an advantage to have a pre-approved application on file with VGSR. It should be stressed here that being pre-approved does not mean that any potential adopter can select any available dog at will and take that dog home immediately. VGSR will exercise its best judgement as to which GSD will be the best match for that specific adopter based on a number of qualifying criteria. Many GSDs that come to us are matched up with their new people very quickly because their people have been pre-approved.) The applicant then submits the application form with a non-refundable $10.00 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 $200.00 donation to VGSR, and the adoption is completed.
