Our hours are by appointment only. If you are a good match, we will contact you, typically within 72 hours. YOU WILL HEAR FROM US ONLY IF WE FIND YOU TO BE A GOOD MATCH FOR ONE OF OUR RESCUE ANIMALS AND OUR ADOPTION GUIDELINES/PROGRAM. We must review a completed application before an appointment is arranged. No exceptions. All visits with the rescue animals are by approved applications and appointments only. Foster Home Update: Annie is an absolute sweetheart. She has been coming with me to the office and is a hit with my coworkers. She will relax at my feet throughout the day. We have a high energy dog at home and Annie is, after five days, just starting to play with him regularly. She has been great with food and is putting on some much-needed weight. She has big paws which makes me think that she's going to be a large pup when she fills out. She likes bones but doesn't care much about toys yet. Also, seemingly rare for a shepherd, she doesn't chew on things nor eat anything besides dog treats she knows, or her dog food (she will sniff the 'people food' but doesn't eat it). Overall a wonderful and well-mannered dog! Please fill out an application to meet me at http://www.washingtongsd.org/application.html The adoption process includes completion of an adoption application, a vet check, a home visit and a lifetime adoption contract. Adoptions are not done on a first come first serve basis. WA German Shepherd Rescue is the companion animal's advocate and will select the most suitably matched home for the dog's general needs and the unique needs of each individual dog in our care. We reserve the right to refuse service and adoption without explanation. Are you following us on Facebook?
