BROGAN is one of those dogs who steals your heart very fast!  He was a stray with no identiification, and his family didn't come looking for him at the shelter.  For the life of us, we'll never understand how anyone could let this boy get away -- he is one of THE nicest, sweetest personalities we've seen in a long time!

BACKGROUND
We don't know who his owners were, but he was a decent weight and in pretty good health.  He was apparently treated very roughly, however -- when we first got him he would go to ground if he saw you raise your hand.  And if he thought you were mad at him, he'd do that as well.  Someone apparently either hit him or grabbed him.  We can't imagine why, since he's super sweet and loving.

TEMPERAMENT
Brogan is super-even-tempered and sweet.  He wants to please you!  He just wants to love you, be loved on by you, play with another dog, and enjoy life. 
 
PEOPLE
He's been friendly to everyone he meets -- adults, children, men, women.  He might be shy at first with strangers just because of his prior harsh treatment, but he's gaining confidence every day in his foster home that he is safe and loved.  His foster home has a small child who visits frequently and Brogan is fine with her. 

OTHER DOGS
He adores having a play buddy and needs a family with another dog who will play with him.  It's best if that's a medium or larger dog.  He's met other large dogs and is in foster care with a 35 lb dog.   CATS are unknown and would have to be tested, but he responded to a caged cat by backing away, and we suspect he would either be ok with them or be trainable.

HOUSE MANNERS
He does very well in the house.  He's potty trained and crate trained, and loves napping on his soft dog bed.  He hasn't shown any tendencies to date to do things like counter-surfing or getting into trash.  So far he's been an easy house guest!

HEALTH
He's a very healthy boy, up to date on shots, microchipped, and neutered.  He's a standard size GSD at about 70-75 lbs, and is a little shorter than some.

OVERALL
Brogan is just a love.  He's sweet, amenable, loving, and gorgeous.  Only one VERY lucky family will get the honor of adding him to their family.  IS THAT YOU?



DOGS:
                   Yes!  He would LOVE a doggie play buddy!
CATS:                     Unknown, would have to be tested.
KIDS:                     Yes.  In foster care where a young child visits frequently.
IDEAL FAMILY:      An active family with another dog to play with, a fenced yard to do that, and lots of love to give!  He's an easy dog with a fantastic personality.


 

If you're looking for a gorgeous, loving, goofy, fun,
young, trainable German Shepherd

who will capture your heart instantly,
BROGAN may be your new BFF!

 

 

BROGAN'S ADOPTION FEE:   $300
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.

Special Needs: None.

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.
