MAGSR appreciates your interest in becoming a volunteer for our organization.  You must understand that most of the dogs that come into our rescue come from shelters and humane societies or as strays, so their complete history is not known.  It is possible that the dogs we take into our rescue have been abandoned, neglected, mistreated, or even abused.  Although we evaluate dogs prior to accepting them into the rescue, we cannot guarantee the temperament of any of the dog (since most of their histories are unknown).  Working with the rescued dogs comes with risks.  By submitting the application above, you are acknowledging that you understand and accept these risks. I have accurately completed this application and all information stated is correct.  I have read the above warning and understand the risks involved in working with these dogs.  I understand that the Mid-Atlantic German Shepherd Rescue cannot be held responsible for the actions, behavior and/or medical condition of all of the dogs in its rescue.  I agree to assume the risks implicit with working with dogs who may have been abandoned, beaten, or otherwise mistreated or abused or who may suffer from an illness, condition or disease. By clicking "submit" below I am agreeing that I have never been convicted of animal abuse, neglect, or cruelty in the past and should this change you agree to either inform the Board of Directors of MAGSR immediately or remove yourself from the rescue.  MAGSR takes its protection of animals seriously and insists that its volunteers do so as well. MAGSR Board of Directors reserves the right to refuse applicants based on what is in the best interests of the rescue and its continued successful operation.  Should an applicant or a volunteer at any time be deemed a liability to the rescue, the dogs, or the rescue's name, the Board of Directors retains the right to excuse individuals from the rescue volunteer base. You will be contacted within two weeks of receipt of application.  Thank you for offering to donate your time and energy to help find forever homes for unwanted/abused German Shepherds.
