FOSTER ME PLEASE!

I only have a temporary foster home. Will you let me come hang out with you until my forever family finds me? Please please please?

AGE: 5 months (as of 4/15/09)
Location: Wichita
Temperament: Ruby is a gem of a puppy: sweet, loving and ready for a home!

Don't miss out on making this special girl a part of your family! She has a lifetime of love to give you if you'll let her.

RUBY is very sweet, good with other dogs and cats and has never met a stranger--loves every person she meets. She likes riding in the car and sits quietly in her own seat while traveling. She is teething and going through a mouthy stage, but is easily redirected to toys. She weighs 20 lbs (4/15/09) and is up to date on her shots.

Adoption fee: $200. This includes spay/neuter at our vet, microchipping at time of spay/neuter, deworming, and first puppy shots. For an explanation of our fees and policies, please visit our website at www.mogsrescue.com.

FOR AN APPLICATION email mogsrescue@yahoo.com. Please write "Ruby - application please" in the subject line .

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.
