SISSY is an adorable puppy who is roughly 4 months old -- and makes everyone fall in love with her on the spot! 

TEMPERAMENT:  She's a typical GSD puppy!  She's energetic, full of life, in constant motion, will chew things if not watched, needs constant training and socialization as she grows up.  Like all GSD puppies, she can also be stubborn and willful.  She doesn't like to go in her kennel but will with a treat.  She settles in her kennel for the night with just a little grumbling.  She's also mostly house trained, about 90% of the way there and that needs to be finished up.

ENERGY LEVEL:  High.  Requires lots of daily activity, exercise and mental stimulation.

OTHER ANIMALS:  She loves to play and is in a foster home with two other dogs, one of whom is also young and highly playful, the other of whom is not.  We have not seen her around very small dogs or cats and that would have to be tested. 

KIDS:  Sissy loves kids and is in a foster home with two small children.  Like any puppy, she needs to learn manners so she doesn't knock over a child by accident, and should be supervised to ensure that both puppy and children learn to behave in respectfully to each other.

OVERALL:  Sissy is an adorable, goofy, highly active, loving GSD puppy with a typical GSD personality.  Her new family will need to provide excellent leadership, training and socialization over the course of her life but particularly in the next few years.  She requires lots of daily exercise and mental stimulation!  PREFERRED:  a securely fenced yard, and a home with another playful doggie buddy.

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

SISSY'S ADOPTION FEE:   $350
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.
