ADOPT ME!

LOCATION: Kansas City Metro

AGE: approx. 3-4yrs

TEMPERAMENT: smart, friendly, fun boy!

Update 5/10/09: Rhett is in a foster home now and doing great! Here is what his foster mom has to say about this great guy: Rhett is doing great in our home! He loves to go on long walks and is doing very well sitting, staying and other basic commands. He seems to be very smart. He just hangs out with us where ever we are. He has made a ton of dogs friends with all of the neighborhood dogs (big and small) He really is becoming a joy in our house!

Rhett is a cute little GSD mix boy who came to MOGS with Scarlet. He's about 50 lbs, but don't let his small size fool you...he knows he's a big dog. He's very tenacious and likes to kick up his heels and run. He keeps his tail curled above his back most of the time and has a thick undercoat, so he may be mixed with an arctic breed of some kind. He comes when called, but will need an owner willing to teach him the ropes when it comes to basic obedience.


Rhett's adoption fee is $175. For an explanation of our fees, policies, and what vetting is covered, please visit us at:http://www.mogsrescue.rescuegroups.org/info/adoption.

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.
