More about the shelter
SSR is a group of passionate people who love the GSD breed. The founders worked with another rescue before SSR and promoted rescue on social media. They wanted to personally save more dogs from more distant areas where the euthanasia rate is greater. They formed this rescue and now get a lot of dogs from high kill shelters out of state and transport them to VA, vet them and find them homes.
Fees $325 dogs under 7, $250 dogs over 7. Application fee $20. Application to adopt includes references and vet check. Must be over 18. Rentals must have permission. Home visit required.

UPDATE 10/29/2024: Samoa has been returned to SSR for not being a good fit for the family. Samoa is a happy dog who loves to play outside and run around. She is extremely treat motivated and loves playing with other dogs when they can meet off leash. She cares about the people she knows and is protective of them. You will know she likes you when she talks to you or curls up on the couch next to you. She is good riding in a car.
Samoa most likely needs slow introductions to other dogs, which is really what all dogs should have when coming into a new situation.
Samoa was surrendered by her owner in Texas 4/10/2020 along with her mom, Gingersnap, and siblings Biscotti and Churro. She is an active puppy and is very food motivated. She is getting along amazingly with a large, full grown foster, but is a little mouthy with a smaller dog. A patient adopter will help in her "inside manners" and continued work on potty training. She will need more work with a leash, lead. She's not a fan yet, but she amazes us on the progress she's made in the short time.
