BINGO is a show-stopper of a boy who came from a local high-kill pound an hour before he was to be euthanized. We're so glad we got there, because this boy is special. In his own words, here's his story.

Hi there, how are ya? Want to come meet? Want to play? Let's party! Whoooppeeee! (Hey, I'm just a kid remember ;-0)

My life sure has gotten dramatically better in the last week! I was starving and my other guardians didn't care two cents about me - fed me real junky food. I didn't get any attention and any training, so I don't know what they call "house rules". I love the outdoors of course 'cuz that's where my ex-humans left me most all the time. But I'm getting used to this indoor business pretty fast.

I'm good with other animals (dogs and - with some, er .. patience and training ... cats). I'm also good in a crate.

I have one bad habit that I know I have to get out of, and that's wanting to put my mouth on everything and everybody... Sigh. I'm really sorry. No one every taught me any different! And now I'm kinda used to it because I was allowed to do it, so I need someone who will be patient but firm with me and remind me about the right way to do things in a civil household. I'm smart, though, and I promise I can learn fast with the right person to guide me!!.

Oh, and the MOGS people also say I have "weak pasterns" - I call it knobby knees ;-) - which they say is due to malnutrition. So they're giving me supplemtns like calcium and Missing Link and a really super puppy food. I can feel my strength in those legs growing all the time, and I can already walk farther for longer than when I came out of that awful pound a week ago. Cooool!!!!!

So I'm young and show-stoppingly handsome and loving and goofy. I have wonderful traits, though these silly people keep saying I need to learn manners. Hah! I'll learn anything you want me to, just say the word. I'm smart as well as pretty ya know ;-D JUST PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE MY FAMILY. I've got so much love to give all bottled up inside me that I'll learn housebreaking, tricks, commands, whatever you want. All you have to do is work with me here!

BINGO's adoption fee is $300.

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.
