LOCATION: Kansas City

She is great with people of all kinds, including children and is currently living in a home with kids. She's now completely housetrained as well as crate trained and has attended obedience school (PetsMart). She knows the basics including sit, stay, come etc.... Tootsie currently lives with a scottie and a yorkie and gets along well with them.

Tootsie was pulled from a Kansas pound just before being put to sleep. At only 4 mo old, she had seen way too much of the seamy side of life.

Despite all that -- aren't these animals amazing? --, Tootsie is a very sweet girl! She's just as loving as she can be and like any puppy loves to play. She loves to play with her doggie foster siblings, but they're a little older and don't like to play as much as she does. Still, she's patient with them and moderates her play to their needs. Smart little girl. Considerate, too.

Tootsie is thriving in her foster home. She once gulped her food down, but is now eating normally. Of course, after more than 6 weeks she's just starting to realize that she'll always have a full food bowl and she doesn't have to worry about her next meal. She's doing well on leash and is starting to get the walking business down pat. She still loves to pull when she sees a squirrel or rabbit or passing cat, but what puppy doesn't?

Tootsie is great with kids and other dogs. Cats are unknown. She is almost fully housetrained and in great health. She has been through obedience training with her loving foster parents and did beautifully!

Tootsie has a great temperament all around and will be a wonderful family pet.

If you're looking for a medium sized dog that's large part german shepherd but smaller than that, and with a terrific personality/temperament, Tootsie's your girl!

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.
