SABLE is a stunning dark sable german shepherd who was dumped by an owner who complained that she "screamed". Workers at the shelter say that only happened once and when corrected properly she stopped immediately. It appears that "screaming" is just her way of saying "I don't want to do what you want me to do." But she has obviously received very good training to date and when told firmly but kindly to stop, with appropriate follow through, she stopped immediately.

She was good with the owner's kids and wonderful around people. She is such a favorite at the shelter that they are desperately begging us to take her. We have over 20 dogs in boarding already and need your help to save her!

PLEASE HELP US HELP HER!!
Call Nancy at 816. 686-8100 ASAP!!

THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING A HOMELESS DOG OR CAT.

OVER 4 MILLION INNOCENT DOGS AND CATS ARE KILLED EVERY YEAR IN THE U.S. BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS THEM.

THOUSANDS OF WONDERFUL FAMILY DOGS AND CATS DIE EACH DAY IN OUR SHELTERS.

STOP THE SLAUGHTER.
DON'T BUY WHILE OTHERS DIE.

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.
