What is an Adoption Day?

An Adoption Day is a wonderful opportunity for people that want to adopt a German Shepherd Dog to meet some of the dogs that are available through the Virginia German Shepherd Rescue. Potential adopters and dogs have the opportunity to interact and to determine whether there's a basis to move forward in the adoption process. Potential adopters should understand that an Adoption Day is NOT an opportunity to select a dog and take the dog home that same day. It's just one step at the beginning of the adoption process.

 
VGSR will be having Adoption Days at the following locations.  Come and meet some really great German Shepherd Dogs that would just love to adopt you and your family.  Please check back Friday/Saturday for final listing of dogs.

Dog Walk at the Occoquan Regional Park. 10:00 a.m.

This walk is on a paved 1.5 mile trail (3 miles round trip) with additional paved areas and non-paved trails for those who prefer a longer walk. This park is equipped with bathrooms and drink machines. The walk can be attended by any dog owners (VGSR and Non-VGSR) that enjoy the opportunity to socialize

their personal dogs with other well-mannered dogs. If you are thinking of adopting a German Shepherd and would like to meet some of the VGSR Alumni dogs, please stop by; this walk is open to anyone and you do not need to have a dog to participate.

 

If you are planning to adopt and already have a dog this a great way to determine how your dog gets along with German Shepherds. Some of the best “teachers” are other well behaved dogs. Hope to see you there!

 

Use the parking lot attached to the Marina Parking Lot, on the attached map it is marked as “park here”.

Reminder: Bring water for your dog, No flexi leads and make sure you have a secure collar. All dogs attending must be UTD with current tags.
