About Ginger

GINGER is one of four pups who came to us from an 'accidental' litter.  She and her siblings came to us because the owner couldn't take care of them.

PERSONALITY
Ginger is a feisty little girl - her foster mom calls her "a pistol".  She's strong-willed but was allowed to run free outdoors with the rest of her pack and hasn't really had boundaries or rules until she came to us.  She's only been with us a short time and we'll know even more about her shortly.

PEOPLE
She's good with people and like most puppies tends to come right up to them.  We haven't seen her around kids yet but as a puppy we believe she'll do fine also.

OTHER DOGS
Lives in a foster home with 3 adult GSDs, a small dog, and cats.  She's learning what a cat is and doing fine with the rest of the pack.  Lived with her mom/dad GSDs and litter of 6 previously.

TRAINING
Needs training in all areas, was free roaming outdoors until recently.  Is getting used to a collar and leash, and walking on it.  Needs basic manners, and to learn the whole concept of boundaries and rules.  Noto yet houset-rained or crate trained, we're working on those.

HEALTH
Up to date on shots (has had her first two of three puppy shots), dewormed, and microchipped.  She'll be spayed at roughly 6 months.  


If you're looking for a gorgeous German Shepherd puppy
to love & take care of forever, and are willing to put in the time and effort to train a puppy,
GINGER may be your new BFF!



GINGER'S ADOPTION FEE:   $400
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.

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.
