ADOPT ME!


Location: Kansas City
Age: approx. 2 years (as of 7.7.09)
Temperament: Classic lady!

Update from Foster Mom 7.15.09 -

Sammy is doing great in her foster home!  She is extremely loving and loves to be petted and cuddled.  She is house trained and crate trained, doesn't bark much and hasn't chewed anything she wasn't supposed to.  She is a little timid with new situations so we are taking training slow but she seems very bright and is catching on quickly.  We are working on sit, come, and down to start with. 
 
She is playful and does well with our high energy 7 year old boy.  She will get to meet a 4 year old this weekend so I'll let you know how that goes but I think she will be great with any child.  She does fine with our older dog, was playful with the dogs at the kennel, and completely ignores our cat.  
 
She is still a little skinny but we're working on that (lots of training treats:-)  She will make a great family pet. She weighs 54lb now and probably needs to gain around 5lb.  By the way, she is absolutely gorgeous!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

We took Samantha into our care after she landed in a local high kill shelter due to an eviction.  She is an absolutely beautiful classic black and tan lady.  Presently she weighs in the low 50s, so she just needs to gain a few pounds to be perfect. 

Her disposition is very nice with humans and other dogs.  Such a lovely, classic girl won't stay with us long, so email us today to give her a forever home!

Samantha's adoption fee is $300.  For an explanation of our fees and policies, and what vetting is covered, please visit us at www.mogsrescue.petfinder.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.
