FOSTER ME OR ADOPT ME!

I'm past my puppy years, but what's not to love about that? I'm calm, wonderful and know how to behave in a 'civilized' way (no chewing, jumping or other annoying stuff!) I have even more love to give now that I'm a mature girl! I've done my partying and would love a relaxed home where we can chill together. Mind if I rest my paws at your place? I promise you utter devotion and tons of love for a lot of years!

AGE: approx. 8 yrs
LOCATION: Kansas City, MO
TEMPERAMENT: Laid back, calm, friendly

(updated 5/13/09) CRYSTAL was abandoned by her owner and ended up in a high kill pound where she was about to die. She is currently being treated for heartworm and doing great. (This expense alone is more than her adoption fee so if you can help, please donate securely through PayPal via our website at www.mogsrescue.com . Many thanks!)

CRYSTAL is a very sweet girl who loves people and other dogs. She is calm, rides well in a car and gets along with everyone. She is in boarding as we don't have enough foster homes, but she has a "connection room" with Tango and the two of them are together most of the day.

CRYSTAL is very friendly with people, takes treats nicely, and appears to be house broken. We have not seen her around children or cats, but suspect she would be fine with both though this would have to be tested.

CRYSTAL walks nicely on a leash though she doesn't appear to have any formal training. Her nose is scraped, probably from trying to free herself from her previous predicament.

If you want a lovely, calm dog with an excellent temperament and many more years of love and cuddling to give, CRYSTAL is your girl!!

To apply for CRYSTAL, email mogsrescue@yahoo.com. Please put "Application please - CRYSTAL" in the subject line. Crystal's adoption fee is $220.

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.
