*URGENT* Wonderful, easy Copper girl MUST be out of foreclosed house by AUGUST 10.

IF NOT, SHE WILL GO TO A HIGH KILL POUND.

Family is in great distress over this.

PLEASE HELP. FOSTER or ADOPT COPPER.

Location: KC, MO
Age: 4.5 years (as of 8.09)
Temperament: Sweet and loving

Here's what Copper's (formally known as Cooper) owners who surrended her have to say:

"Cooper is a great dog for a family looking for a loving, fun and protective dog. I have two boys and she takes time with each of us. If we are in separate rooms, she stays for a bit in each room. She does this at night too. She looks after all of us.

We also have a cat. They chase each other to play but Cooper never hurts her. When the dog goes outside, the cat waits by the door for her to come back in. They are alone in the house during the day (typically 9 hours) and they do great together.

Cooper was kennel trained but hasn't been in the kennel for 2 years. As a puppy, she chewed shoes and stuffed animals. Now, she will pick up a shoe or stuffed toy and carry to another room but she never chews them. This has been a very tough time for us and it is hurting us all to give her up but I am not able to keep our house."

Copper's adoption fee is $200. For an explanation of our fees, policies, and what vetting is covered, please visit us at: www.mogsrescue.petfinder.com.

STOP!! READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER!

We're picky about our adopters.
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.
Will the dog be an inside family pet? We do not adopt to outdoor-only homes. All dogs must be indoor dogs.
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!!
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?
Will you make a lifetime commitment? It's your responsibility to keep your dog safe, loved and cared for FOR LIFE.
Do you understand we expect you to keep that lifetime commitment? It's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to stick by your family member -- no matter what.
Are you unable or unwilling to make a lifetime commitment? Do not apply.

Thank you for considering a homeless dog or cat.
