HELP! I've been in boarding for a l-o-n-g time and I'm going stir crazy! My name is Sugar and I'm sweet liek Sugar and I l-o-v-e to play, play, play! They say I play a teeny bit rough, but that's because I'm cooped up and don't really get much of a chance to just run and jump and spin and dash around a yard. I'm just like most 1 yr old dogs and If I get enough exercise, I'm a good girl. I'm still really young and boy do I love life ... :-)

I was hit by a car while I was running loose, and the Animal Control people came by and took me to the pound. I was in horrible pain and my back leg was twice the size it should have been and I had to hold it completely off the ground. They put me in a steel cage where I could barely turn around and didn't even have something soft to lie down on to ease the pain.

A few hours later a lady came along and asked what my story was, and told them she'd pay for my treatment if they'd just get me over to the vet. The rest is history. I went through 60 days of cage rest, and boy, if you think I wasn't wired for sound after that!! I couldn't get enough running and exercise and play to suit me after 2 months of none of it. I still haven't caught up.

I'm good with most other dogs (occasionally there's one I don't like) but cats are a no-no. I'll need help with my housetraining since I've been in boarding for months. I don't really know how I am around kids, we'd have to test that out.

Please, won't you give me a chance? I'm beautiful, sweet and SO want my own family again!

Sugar's adoption fee is $175.

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.
