Babs was rescued from a Missouri puppy mill. Like mill survivors, Babs was never socialized and just used to breed litter after litter in isolation and filth.  However, with love and time in a devoted foster home she is starting to come out of her shell!  She is a wonderfully sweet dog who has made tremendous progress over the year we have had her. She walks well on a leash and is learning to ride in a car without fear.

Babs is absolutely gorgeous! She is on the smaller side so would be a good fit for someone looking for a more petite girl. Babs does well with the other dogs in her foster home and is fine with the cats. 

BABS still has some separation anxiety and HATES closed crates - she can and will escape almost any crate. She will curl up in an open crate as long as the door isn't closed. If the door is closed, she will soon find a way out!

BABS is not destructive in the house as long as she doesn't feel "penned in" - a legacy of her days in the puppy mill. She needs a home where she can be free during the day while you're at work, but still get in and out of the yard through a doggie door as she is not housetrained yet. 

As a puppy mill breeder dog, BABS obviously lived in an outdoor kennel. She has now become an indoor dog and LOVES it. She plays hard with the other dogs, but respects the space of those dogs who need it (older, sick, etc).  

BABS is a great dog who had the misfortune to be turned into a puppy breeding machine and is just now getting to know about "life."   She will warm your heart with her sweetness and shyness. Once she comes completely out of her horrible puppy mill experience, she's going to be one superb dog!

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.
