CASH is a beautiful 10 month old boy who's loving life after being dumped in a shelter by his cruel owners -- and is looking for a very special family to spend the rest of his life with!

BACKGROUND:   Are you sitting down?  His owners bought him from a breeder as an 8 week old puppy -- then took him home and immediately  put him on a CHAIN outdoors 24/7, living his life alone, lonely, neglected, abused!  Can you imagine an 8 week old puppy on a CHAIN?  Monsters.....  Then when he got bigger and more energetic -- harder to control on the chain -- they dumped him at a shelter and said they couldn't care for him any longer.  But then, they didn't take care of him from the start.

TEMPERAMENT:    Cash is such a happy boy and always has a smile on his face.  His tongue hangs out and he looks at you with those eyes that say "Isn't it a great day??".  He's sooooo thrilled to be off that chain, running, playing, stretching his legs, free to romp and run and play and roll in the grass.  He's sweet as all get out and just wants your attention and love.  In return he makes you laugh even on a bad day.  He'll bond with  you quickly. 

PEOPLE:    He's met a lot of people in the time lately -- shelter staff, boarding kennel staff, volunteers, and now his foster family.  He's been the same with everyone - ducking at first, in fear of being mistreated, but quickly becomeing a loving goofball once he knows you won't hit him.  He's getting better about the ducking too, and like so many dogs we've had with this response he'll learn that he's safe and stop the ducking. He seems to get along with everyone, male, female, young, old.  We have not seen him around small children and that would have to be tested, but given his overall temperament we suspect that the issue with small kids would be the same as with any large dog -- accidentally knocking a child over in play unless supervised.

OTHER DOGS:    He loves other dogs and just wants to play.  HE MUST HAVE ANOTHER DOG TO PLAY WITH -- preferably a dog of similar size and energy level.  We haven't seen him with small dogs and that would have to be tested, but we suspect the only issue would be that he plays rough.  Cash does need to learn to gentle down his play style, like most puppies.  It's just that he never learned any of that when he was a little puppy and is now having to learn it as an older youngster.

TRAINING:  His owners never taught him exactly nothing.  It seems all they did was put him on a chain and sometimes hit him.  So sweet Cash is basically an 8-week old puppy in a 10-month old body!  He has a lot to learn -- and is making good progress.  While in boarding he started to learn sit and wait, and he's making even better progress in h is foster home.  He's a bit of a work in progress, and he's worth every single minute of it with his sweet temper and loving nature!

HEALTH:    No known health conditions.  He's neutered, up to date on shots, heartworm tested, microchipped and ready for his forever family.

OVERALL:   Cash is a goofy sweetheart of a youngster!  He's had a tough start in life yet loves humans anyway with an innocent that touches your heart.  He's happy-go-lucky and wants to please you though as a still-young puppy he needs a lot of repetition and reminding about manners.  He's got a lot of energy and needs daily exercise and mental stimulation.  If you're willing to invest the time and effort in training this youngster, you're going to have one spectacular shepherd in your family!
 

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN HIS NEW FAMILY:  An active family with a securely fenced yard and another playful dog of roughly his energy level, play style and size.  A family with the commitment and time to train this happy-go-lucky boy, and expose him to all the good, fun things in this world that he never saw or experienced from his chain. 

If you're looking for a gorgeous, young, goofy trainable German Shepherd
to love you for life,
CASH may be your ideal family member!

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.
