FOSTER ME OR ADOPT ME!


Location: KC Metro

Age: 5 yrs (DOB 7/28/03)

Temperament: Very loving and playful (loves to play ball!)


Samson is in desperate need of help! He is a wonderful, playful, family pet who cannot stay in his home any longer. He is good with kids and his cat (he does bark at outdoor cats). Dogs are unknown as he does not currently live with any. He is 93 pounds and current on all of his shots. Here is his story:

So...I got out of the yard one day. I was just sniffing around, having a good time when I realized I was lost. Oh, man. (They said I was 5 miles from home!) I wasn't sure what to do. I was scared. Then this strange man came out of nowhere and tried to grab me. I didn't know he was trying to help me! Honest! I admit, I panicked and I bit him. I feel horrible about it. I've never done that before; I'm a good, friendly dog.

So I heard my family talking about the whole situation and would you believe the homeowner's insurance company is dropping them?! They shopped around, and NO ONE will give them insurance if I stay. So, sadly, I must go.

Listen, I am in inside dog, but I do enjoy spending time outdoors in good weather. I'll tell you when strangers come around. My only bad habits are pulling a little on the leash during walks (I really enjoy walks) and trying to run outside (I love it out there) when the door opens. You can totally train me not to do that. I'm very smart.

So, my birthday is coming up in July...will you make me part of your family and help me celebrate it? Please?

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.
