More Information:

SHADOW is a wonderful girl with a great temperament, who is caught in the tragedy of the economy.  Her  family have lost their jobs and are losing their home, and must move into an apartment.  Despite all their efforts to find an apartment that will take a 65 lb German Shepherd, they couldn't find any.  So poor Shadow is losing her home and family.
 
SHADOW is great with kids (lives with a 1 yr old child).  She's also great with other dogs (lives with several small dogs). She hasn't been around cats and that would have to be tested.  
 
She's just an all-round terrific dog who's caught in a heartbreaking situation. She has a wonderful temperament --  she loves to run and play, loves to be in the middle of the family, would love to have a doggie buddy, and just generally loves life.  
 
If you're looking for a great dog with a super temperament, SHADOW is your girl!

Shadow’s adoption fee is $300.00.

This fee covers a portion of the vet and boarding expenses for the dogs we save.  It includes the dog's spay/neuter, heartworm test, heartworm treatment if needed, rabies, distemper/parvo and bordatella vaccinations, deworming and microchip.

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.
