ADOPT ME!

LOCATION: Kansas City area
AGE: approx 2yrs
Temperament: Big Gorgeous Hunk of a dog!!!

UPDATE 1.12.09: Harley has finally begun his heartworm treatment and is doing great so far! When he is well enough, he can finally be neutered. Thanks to all of you who have inquired about him.

UPDATE 10.8.08: Harley is now being fostered where he is learning his manners, and is awaiting his heartworm treatment, which will be costly. If you could possibly spare even a few dollars to help Harley, please go to our main website at www.mogsrescue.com to make a donation securely through Paypal. Harley thanks you!!

HARLEY was found wandering along the road by the interstate, and a wonderful lady was driving down the road and stopped to pick him up. He was advertised everywhere but no one ever came forward to claim him. These are a few words from the lady who found him.

We've been calling him Harley (like the motorcycle). It just seemed to fit him. Here's a few pics of him that I snapped this afternoon with my phone. I swear, he was posing for the pictures. LOL I told you he was a hunk, didn't I?

He walks nicely on a loose leash, is good with other dogs (not sure about cats). He is super sweet, very laid back, and loves to play ball. He's quiet in the kennel, other than he doesn't like sirens and howls a bit when he hears them, but he quiets when told. His ears are very dirty and have a yeast infection. We've cleaned them and are using an anti-fungal ear wash on them. We also gave him a bath and he's looking much better now. He rode nicely in the car.

Harley's adoption fee is $300. This includes current shots, neutering and microchipping.

Harley is Heart Worm positive so will need to undergo treatment before he can be neutered for 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.
