My parents Gini and Bill are retiring and moving back to Florida, a place
I have never been and cannot go because it sounds much too hot for me and their new community has a rule that only “people” (not four-footed family members) may reside. So they are helping me find a home where someone is seeking a devoted companion. I’m very hopeful because they told me that a very kind woman Casey Speas; (who loves persons like me, called German Shepherds) may be able to help me find a
loving home.

I am Misty, a white German Shepherd, registered as “Mystic Snow”. I’m approaching my tenth birthday which will be September 16th.  I enjoy good health except that my hearing is not as keen as it was a few years ago.  My medical record is complete and current with all shots etc.

I pride myself on being an alert watchdog to signal my family if anyone should come into our driveway. When anyone comes to our home, I always hope they have children. I really love little children. I heartily welcome anyone that my family invites into our home.

I thoroughly enjoy a “doggie door” that opens on to a back deck and fenced yard that allows me to go in and out of the house as I choose.  My favorite times of the year are fall, winter and spring; especially winter. The hottest “dog-days” of summer are not much to my liking. I grew up in North Carolina and have loved the last seven years here in Lake Monticello, near Charlottesville, Virginia.

During this past year I have enjoyed hosting doggie  members of several friends of our family for numerous over-nights and some extended visits.

DESCRIPTION: Yukon is a beautiful and smart 10 mos old GSD. He is housebroken and crate trained. He is very smart and very responsive with lots of puppy energy and drive! If you are interested in doing agility or higher levels of obedience this is a perfect dog at the perfect age! Yukon is a high drive and high energy GSD and wil only go to a an experienced home. He is working with a trainer and is not available for adoption at this time. We will keep you updated about his progress!

Update: Yukon has been working hard with a trainer and is doing great! He is now available for adoption to a home that has experience with GSD's. He is an incredibly smart and driven young dog who is rapidly developing into a fantastic boy! He loves to learn and will continue to excel at training!

Update: Poor Yukon! Like all of our kennel dogs, Yukon was scheduled for some training sessions here at the end of May. Boy does Yukon loves to train! When our volunteer came to get him, he jumped up to greet them. Unfortunately, his leg was partially caught under the fence of his run. He yelped loudly and would not put weight on his leg. We rushed Yukon the Emergency Vet where his leg was X-rayed. He was diagnosed with a hard break. They sedated him and put his leg in a splint. He was then taken to Chesapeake Veterinary Referral Surgery in Annapolis where they performed surgery to repair the break. The good news is Yukon is young and will be just fine. The bad news is the surgery is expensive. Consider helping Yukon by donating to our medical fund.

Leia is about 3 years old. She has been in her foster home for a year. She came to us a very troubled girl. She was rescued from a family that didn't know how to care for their dogs properly. She had never been exposed to dogs or people and was frightened of both. In fact, she had never had many experiences, such as riding in a car, being inside a home, being brushed or even touched for that matter. It was very sad to see such a beautiful and loving creature be so horribly neglected.It has taken a lot of work but Leia is making progress. She is more trusting of people. She takes a long time to warm up to new people but is not as afraid now.

She has bonded with her foster mom and trusts her more than anyone else. She is a little more afraid of men than women.Leia now enjoys being touched, brushed, taking rides in cars and will tumble with the other dogs when she thinks no one is looking. It is such a joy to see her feeling joy.

We would love to find Leia a home that has experience with these type issues. It will take a patient and loving person to win this girls heart. Leia is spayed, utd on her shots and heartworm negative.  She is also house trained and crate trained.

Lilly is a 16 month old female, plush coated WGSD puppy.  She is the product of a back yard breeder who went out of business.  We know what the mother was like, we don't know anything about the father except that he is a large WGSD.  Lilly is learning to socialize with other dogs and people besides her foster family.  She is scheduled to start obedience classes soon.  Lilly is a sweet puppy, but she wants to be the boss of every dog around her.  She is a little tomboy, she loves to play in the mud. She'll be a wonderful pet with the obedience training. Lilly is currently fostered in Montgomery, AL.Lilly is UTD on shots and will be spayed shortly, and most definitely prior to adoption.

Hi, my name is Daisy. I've had a lot of change in my life in a very short period of time and in my darkest hour, the nice people of VGSR came and rescued me out of the shelter. I'm so thankful to have a second chance at life. I'm young and like most teenagers my age, I love to romp and play however my all time favorite thing is just to sit with my people and get loved on.

My foster mommy even lets me get in bed and snuggle. She tells me that I am just the sweetest thing ever. I hadn't had any obedience or training before coming here to my foster home and now my foster mom and dad are trying to teach me something they call "manners". I don't know what they are talking about yet but apparently I can get treats when I sit nicely like the lady that I am.

I'm also starting to get the impression that I'm not supposed to jump up on them even when I'm happy to see them. Although I'm new at learning manners and obedience, I'm very happy and excited to be learning and to have people who care enough to want to teach me.

Here in my foster home there are other dogs too. When I first came to meet my new foster family I was a little intimidated by the other dogs but right away I could tell everyone here was one big happy pack. It only took me about a day to become best friends with my canine roommates. I'd be so happy if my forever family had another dog too. If you think you'd like to have a loving sweet dog like me in your family, won't you come meet me at a Northern Virginia adoption event!? HEVA

Kepler is a happy-go-lucky clown. As you can see in his pictures, he is always smiling. He has improved greatly in the several weeks that we've had him. He's doing well with housebreaking and rarely has a mistake. He can even go through the whole night without having to go outside! Kepler has been updated on all of his shots. He is attending obedience class and enjoys learning new things. He may be shy around strangers but warms up quickly. When we go on walks with Kepler, he gets lots of attention, and we've even been chased down several times by people interested in him. He's really gentle with children and patiently lets people pet him. If you are interested in Kepler, you should hurry up and put an application in for him today! We expect him to find a home quickly.
