GORGEOUS JACK is a hunk of love with a little bit of wild in his golden captivating eyes.  One look in those eyes with his half business-half pleasure ear stance (one up, one down) will draw you in and never let you forget that face!  Jack was found as a stray and after several weeks of trying to find his family, was surrendered to MOGS by the wonderful lady who took him in, cleaned him up, and cared for him as her own, but was unable to keep him herself.  He is an active and loving 1-year old German Shepherd who is ready to find the perfect family to love and be loved by!
 
Temperament
Despite whatever circumstances led Jack to be on the streets, he amazingly shows no hesitation to other people or animals! He is still a puppy who is learning the ropes of being a large dog, so he might not understand why stepping on your foot or eating a treat out of your hand requires a little gentleness on his part, but he is learning!  He is very athletic, eager to learn, eager to please, and has been learning basic commands in his foster home extremely quickly.  When Jack was found as a stray he didn't have any knowledge of basic commands, but has since learned Sit, Down, to Wait at doors and for his food, and the Kennel command.  He is also kennel trained, and is working on learning many more
! 
Jack is very ball/toy driven and will play fetch and catch for as long as you let him! His athleticism and eagerness would make him an excellent member of a very active family that will constantly expose him to new things to grow his abilities physically and mentally.  He is eager to play as long as he can, but at the end of the day, he knows when to settle down and snuggle up next to his foster mom and dad for his favorite thing... BELLY RUBS. (Ok, so he probably wants some of those more than JUST at the end of the day.)
 
Other Animals
Jack LOVES to play with other dogs. He has been playing with another medium-sized female shepherd in his foster home and plays very well! He can be quite the instigator and pick on the other shepherd until she gives in... which she always does! He has also been seen playing very well with small dogs! He would love an active fur sibling to go-go-go with him. 
 
Medical
Jack has a CLEAN bill of health!! He will be neutered before adoption, as is standard, but NO other health concerns!

 
If you're looking for a gorgeous, young, trainable German Shepherd
who will love you forever,
JACK may be your ideal family member!

JACK'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.

Good with Dogs

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.
