SASHA originally joined MOGS from a local shelter in 2017. She was adopted out quickly, and originally did very well with her new family. Due to some acutely developing behavior, Sasha is now back with MOGS to work on improving her confidence and training.


TEMPERAMENT

** More info on Sasha's temperament coming soon **


OTHER ANIMALS

Sasha was placed in an adoptive home with another dog, who she originally got along with. Due to acute stressors, Sasha has developed some re-directed reactivity, and will need to be fully evaluated prior to being placed in a home with another dog. She cannot be placed in a home with cats or other small animals.

CHILDREN

Sasha would do best in a home with either no children, or only children ages 16 and above, who are experienced in being around shy/anxious dogs, as well as dogs that have protective behaviors.

MEDICAL

Sasha is up-to-date on her rabies and all vaccines. She is spayed, and also has a microchip.


Sasha's ideal family - Sasha needs an experienced canine leader who can help her understand who to look to for safety, as well as managing her protective / anxious behaviors. Once Sasha feels safe, she is quite a loving and gentle girl!
 
 

SASHA'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.
