Congratulations to Bella and her new family!

Age:  Appx 2 yrs
Location:  Kansas City, MO
Temperament:  Good with other dogs, good with people, cats unknown as of yet
 
BELLA is a beautiful class black and tan girl who ended up in a terrible high kill pound.  She came within 30 minutes of being killed because her few days were up.  She's only been with us since April 11 so we're still learning about her, but we're impressed with how well she's handled the chaos of her current situation.  She's met a number of other dogs and seems to do fine with them.  She is currently being fostered in a home with another dog.  We have not seen her around cats or children to date.  BELLA is confused and she's scared, but is handling it well considering what she's been through.  When she gets some stability and security in her life, she should settle nicely.
 

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.
