LOCATION: KC, MO
AGE: approx 18 months
TEMPERAMENT: ladylike, calm, eager to please

ONYX is a stunning black german shepherd girl who turns heads even at the kennel where she is currently boarded due to our lack of foster homes.

ONYX is very sweet and is good with other dogs. She's very eager to please our volunteers and will be eager to please you, too, so she should be easy to train. She was badly in need of a bath and a brushing when we got her -- and unlike so many dogs she stood quietly and in ladylike fashion for her bath and grooming. She's very easy to handle! No bathtub fights with this girl ;-)

She especially enjoyed being brushed and getting rid of the old, shedding coat. She's very calm and walks nicely on a leash. ONYX would love to have a forever family to call her own!!!

ONYX'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.
