SWEET LITTLE OLIVE is healthy, hardy, and lookin' for love --- the love of a wonderful family who will commit to her for the rest of her life! Through thick and thin.  Through her puppy years (you know, puppy chewing, teething, mouthing, bouncing off the walls and the like).  Through her teenage years (knowing how to behave but not always listening).  Through her adult years.  Through her senior years. Through sickness if it happens.  Through moves. job channges, family breakups, and  days and bad days. Through everything life brings, together and loviing each other. FOR THE  REST OF HER LIFE. 

Because sweet Olive has had enough cruelty for a lifetime and deserves to have nothing but love and kindness for the rest of her life!

BACKGROUND
Olive and her two siblings were dumped at a local plant nursery and turned in to the shelter at just 4 weeks old!!  She was covered in fleas, had recent bite marks that were crusted over, had hair loss, had a fever and was lethargic.  She almost didn't survive.  It's unimaginable that someone would so horrifically neglect her and her siblings -- and then throw them away in the dark of night in a place where any wandering animal could have attacked them.  It's impossile to fathom.

TEMPERAMENT
Olive is just a sweetheart! That pretty much says it all. She loves everyone, humans and animals.  She adores playing with her furry foster siblings.  She loves life, plays hard then sleeps hard like all babies, has puppy breath, loves and follows you.  In other  words, she's a little fur-body filled with nothing but love! Her awful beginning hasn't affected her sweet nature.

HEALTH 
She's now in perfect health and ready to go home with a family equally as wonderful as she is!  She will be spayed (by MOGS) at 6 months of age, is micro-chipped and up-to-date on her puppy shots.


DOGS:          Yes!
CATS:           Yes!
KIDS:           Yes!
IDEAL FAMILY:  A patient and active family who has carefully considered the lifetime commitment they're making to Olive - to love and care for her for the rest of her life no matter what -- and are able and willing to deal with all the normal puppy issues (chewing, teething, biting, and training-training-training).  A family who will socialize, socialize, socialize Olive and teach her to be "the best-behaved dog on the block"!

If you're looking for a gorgeous, loving, heart-stealing puppy,
OLIVE may be your ideal family member!


OLIVE's ADOPTION FEE: $350
This fee covers only part of what we spend to vet, board and rehab the dogs we save. On average we spend over $450 on each dog. We made a decision to keep our adoption fee at the 2005 level even though vet prices have doubled and tripled since then. We are constantly fundraising to cover the deficit. At minimum, your adoption fee includes the dog's spay/neuter, heartworm test, heartworm treatment if needed, rabies shot, distemper/parvo shot, bordatella shot, deworming, monthly heartworm and flea preventives, and microchip. In many cases it also includes surgery and various types of vet treatment for standard issues such as hot spots, ear infections and so on.

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.
