About Pepper (Jewel)

  • Status: Adopted!
  • Species: Dog
  • General Color: Brown/Chocolate with Black
  • Housetrained: Yes
Foster Home Update: 8/12/09: Pepper is a funny dog. She does great in the house. Likes to follow you. Eats well and is very patient for her food now. That is something we have really been working on with her. She used to jump and get excited and spill her food everywhere. Now she sits patiently and waits until I place her food in front of her. She is not particular about her food, she'll eat whatever is put in front of her and if she is not hungry, she will walk away from it. Pepper enjoys treats. She loves to drink and play in water. She likes cold fresh water. Ice cubes are a favorite treat, she likes to chew on them. She loves the swimming pool. When I clean out the pool and add fresh cold water, she is the first dog to get in and lay down in the water. She still needs work jumping up on you, especially a problem if she has wet or muddy paws - if there is a pool nearby she will be wet. The good thing is...because of her short coat she dries quickly and does not shed much at all. She loves her crate, if the door is left open she will go in by herself. She likes blankets in her crate. She also enjoys stuffed animals if given to her but has not been destructive with my children's toys at all. She is not in any way damaging to our home or yard. She is great with the kids and we have lots of different kids around our house, of all ages. She will make someone an excellent dog.

Pepper came to MOGS from a high kill shelter. She's about 9 months old and sweet as can be. She gets along with EVERYONE---stangers, kids, cats, dogs...you name it and she like 'em. She's going to be a small-medium sized dog and now weighs about 28 lbs. We don't think she'll get any bigger than 30-35 lbs and would make a great apartment dog. She is in a very temporary foster home, and needs to find a foster or adoptive family in the next week. Do you have room in your life for little Pepper?

Pepper's adoption fee is $200.

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.
