FOSTER ME OR ADOPT ME!


Location: KC

Age:  3 years

Temperament:Very sweet, great with kids and other dogs too!

Update:  November 18, 2009:

Sierra's pending adoption has fallen through, due to no fault of her own.  She's in temporary foster, but needs a new home as soon as possible.  Sierra is very friendly once she gets to know you, and is great with kids and other dogs.  She's a fantastic dog who just needs a family to call her own. 

Update: June 9, 2009

Sierra is now in a very temporary foster home. She is gaining confidence and even played "chase" with her new foster brother last night. She's also learned to "sit" and "shake" and her house training is coming along nicely. She's great with other dogs and, though still shy at first, is good with people as well after she has a few minutes to get to know them. Her fostet home is VERY temporary...Please Foster or Adopt Sierra.

Intake:

IERRA is coming to us from a very high kill shelter. Her owners dumped her there because they didn't have the patience to train her. Instead of training her, they apparently beat her.

SIERRA is still new to us and we are unable to say at this time how she will do with kids, cats or dogs. She will need someone with lots of love and patience to bring this poor girl out of her shell.

SIERRA deserves a second chance! She is still young and has a lot of life, love and loyalty to give to a deserving family. Please consider adopting or fostering her!

Sierra's adoption fee is $ 300. For an explanation of our fees, policies, and what vetting is covered, please visit us at:http://www.mogsrescue.rescuegroups.org/info/adoption.

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.
