Welcome to Virginia German Shepherd Rescue, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, all volunteerorganization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of the German Shepherd
Dog. We provide a safe haven for German Shepherds (and, sometimes, other breeds/mixes)
who are left in shelters to await uncertain fate; are owner surrenders (moving, illness, divorce,
death, etc.); or are victims of abuse or neglect.We adopt dogs to loving, responsible and
secure homes, typically, in Virginia and the Metropolitan Washington, D.C., area. In the
seven plus years that we have been in existence, we have found homes for over 2,400
deserving dogs, 298 in 2008 alone. We receive our funding from private donations and
adoption fees.

![]() Foster Homes Needed There are still German Shepherds waiting in shelters for a foster home. We would love to place many of these beautiful animals in a safe and loving home where they will get the care and attention they need until they are adopted. We are seeking people with German Shepherd experience or those willing to learn the breed who would like to share their home with a deserving GSD.
“Required Forms” for a Foster Application. VGSR Essay Wins Honorable Mention Several VGSR foster parents participated in Iams’ Home 4 the Holidays Program by submitting their foster dog’s success story. We are very proud to announce that Black Jack’s story received an Honorable Mention – chosen as one of the top 5 essays submitted overall. Not only is this an honor and a wonderful way to explain why VGSR volunteers do what they do, but VGSR will receive a donation from Iams’ Helen Woodward Animal Center. We are happy to share Black Jack’s story with you and to let you know that Black Jack is now a member of a loving family, and continues to learn and grow in his forever home. He graduated number 1 in his basic obedience class and is midway through intermediate obedience. His forever parents are talking about doing agility with him. Life changes ….
