CALLEE and BEEBE are 2 yr old sisters who were dumped in a Kentucky shelter. They came within seconds of dying because - terrified - they were considered unadoptable.

They once had a home and a family who said they loved them. But one day their family decided they just didn't want the girls around any more - tired of having dogs. So the girls went for a ride - they love car rides and were excited . But this one ended up in a place that smelled of fear and death and the halls rang with the awful noises of angry and scared animals everywhere.

The girls paniced! They cowered in the back of their small kennel. They tried to get away from the new humans. They snapped if someone got too close. You could almost here them thinking ... "WHAT DID WE DO WRONG? Why did our beloved people bring us to this awful place to die, then walk away without a backward glance??? We were always good girls! The people at the shelter said we didn't do anything wrong, it was our family... but ... we don't understand!" .

Staff were afraid the girls would bite, because they cowered, looked fearful and snapped once or twice. So they were labeled "unadoptable" and scheduled to die. The truth is that the girls were just outdoor dogs who love to play and snuggle. On Day 1 out of the pound, there "unadoptable" dogs were watching TV on the bed with the teenage son. And now they're happily ensconsed in a loving, forever home with a dad who adores them. WE LOVE HAPPY ENDINGS ;-D

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.
