About Emmit
  • Status: Adopted!
  • Adoption Fee: 300.00
  • Species: Dog
  • General Color: Black with Tan, Yellow or Fawn
  • Current Age: 11 Years 2 Months (best estimate)
Adorable Emmit recently got his freedom ride to his foster home after being turned into a shelter as a stray.  He’s around 3 ½ years old with so much potential and life to live!

Temperament
Emmit is a pretty quiet guy right now but once he is healthy and comfortable has the potential to open up and shine! He’s a mostly dark with some medium sable on his face and body, he’s sure to fill out and become a gorgeous shepherd with time. He enjoys following his foster parents around and occasionally demanding some attention, while other times he’s content to go lay down by himself. He occasionally sniffs at his foster fur-siblings and ponders what to do with them, never aggressive, but not overly excited with them either. Right now Emmit doesn’t engage in play with other dogs much, put there’s the possibility this is due to his not feeling well and getting comfortable in his new environment.

Emmit knows “no” and can be corrected. He is starting to learn basic commands in his foster home right now, but will need a lot of encouragement and patience when it comes to kennel training. He has very strong feelings against his kennel and shows signs of bad past experiences, he is sure to build some patience in his new parents when it comes to this issue!
 
Emmit is fearful at times and needs encouragement to go outside on his own, and other times walking on his leash is a strong puller and wants to lead the way. He is
still learning that he is safe and will need lots of encouragement at his achievements and simultaneous leadership to correct any bad habits.
 

Other Animals
Emmit seems to be ok with large and small dogs but likes his space right now.  Cats and other small animals have not been tested yet.

Medical
Emmit was heartworm positive when he came to us as well as fighting a bad cold . He has completed his treatment and will need retested next year. Now that he is on the mend, we will see his personality start to really come out.
Please check back for updates if Emmit sounds like the dog for you and your family!

 EMMIT's ADOPTION FEE:   $300

This fee covers only part of what we spend to vet, board and rehab the dogs we save. On average we spend over $450 on each dog. We made a decision to keep our adoption fee at the 2005 level even though vet prices have doubled and tripled since then. We are constantly fundraising to cover the deficit. At minimum, your adoption fee includes the dog's spay/neuter, heartworm test, heartworm treatment if needed, rabies shot, distemper/parvo shot, bordatella shot, deworming, monthly heartworm and flea preventives, and microchip. In many cases it also includes surgery and various types of vet treatment for standard issues such as hot spots, ear infections and so on.

STOP!! READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER!

  1. We're picky about our adopters. 
  2. Are you sure you're up to having a GSD?  They're not for everyone.  They take a lot of time, effort, training.  They shed year round.  They're big.  They scare lots of people.  They "mouth" and herd.  They're usually strong-willed and stubborn.  You have to have references and a home visit.  If you're not willing or able to deal with any of this, please don't waste your time or ours applying.  
  3. Will the dog be an inside family pet? We do not adopt to outdoor-only homes. All dogs must be indoor dogs.
  4. Do you leave your dog outdoors when you're not home?   We do not adopt to homes that leave their animals outside when they're gone.  You must put your dogs indoors when you're gone.  A 3 yr old adopted MOGS dog died when the owners went to run errands, left her outdoors, the gate was somehow opened, and she was hit by a car.  Tragic and 100% preventable. Even privacy fences get broken into.  Gates are opened.  Thieves steal dogs. Never leave your dog outdoors when you're not home!!
  5. What's your plan for unexpected events and major changes?  New baby? Divorce?  Moving?   How you will provide for your dog if your family breaks up? 
  6. Will you make a lifetime commitment?  It's your responsibility to keep your dog safe, loved and cared for FOR LIFE.
  7.  Do you understand we expect you to keep that lifetime commitment?  It's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to stick by your family member -- no matter what.
  8. Are you unable or unwilling to make a lifetime commitment? Do not apply.
