ADOPT ME!


Location: South of KC Area
Age: 8 weeks old (as of 5/23/09)
Temperament: Sweet, playful

Update 6/8/2009

Pita, whose name is actually Gretta, but was listed as Pita by mistake, had to have her front leg amputated this week due to a prior injuy. She's doing well and recovering nicely. More updates to follow soon.

Pita is a purebred German Shepherd puppy who needs a forever home! She is a darling puppy with lots of energy and love to give.

Pita's right front paw has a deformity (see pictures), but she is an otherwise healthy little girl! Her fosters, who rescued her, have agreed to have her paw taken care of before she goes to her new home. Pita will also be spayed and up to date on her shots.

If you've got some room on your couch and perhaps a chew toy or two, then Pita may be the dog for you!

Pita's adoption fee is $ 350. For an explanation of our fees and policies, please visit us at www.mogsrescue.com.

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.
