REMY is a classically handsome little guy who is the definition of "adorable"!

BACKSTORY 
Stray found starving and sick. With a body score of only 3 (out of 9), he was extremely malnourished and had either been mistreated or on stray for quite a while.  Was diagnosed with parvo, treated, and released to MOGS.

TEMPERAMENT  
A typical untrained GSD puppy.  Smart, strong, often goofy, sometimes stubborn.  Quick learner and a good observer of his dog foster brother, who he loves and has a blast playing with.  He’s blossoming in foster care, becoming a carefree little guy.  He was fine with people from the start but it was as if he’d never known love.  But now he’s actually coming to his foster mom and asking for attention and love ;-)   

PEOPLE
He’s friendly to everyone he’s met, both at the shelter and in his time with us.  Has not shown any aggression to any person.  It appears his prior owners didn’t show him much warmth or love, but now that he’s been in a foster home he’s learning all about it – and is starting to ask for it and seek it out.  KIDS:  we haven’t seen him around kids yet and would need to test that, but we believe he will do well.

OTHER ANIMALS
Loves his big GSD foster brother and loves playing with him.  It appears he wasn’t around other animals much in his prior home and this is new to him -- when he first met his foster brother, he barked and barked, and didn’t show an ounce of fear despite the size difference. But with a proper introduction (gradual & slow), he now loves his big brother and is learning a lot from him.  CATS:  unknown and would have to be tested.  PREY DRIVE:  seems to have a typical puppy chase-whatever-moves approach.

HOUSE MANNERS
Doing well in his foster home.  Kennel trained.  Mostly house trained. Hasn’t tried to get into trash or other such behaviors.  Likes toys and like most pups will chew on things sometimes.  Likes to play but can also settle fairly well.

ENERGY
Typical GSD puppy energy.  High.

TRAINING
 Needs typical puppy training.  Is smart and picking things up quickly.  Is learning a lot from his foster GSD brother, who he watches and copies in many things.

HEALTH
Ready to go home.  Neutered, up to date on shots, heartworm negative.  Had parvo, was treated and is fully recovered.

SUMMARY
Adorable and gorgeous little guy whose life is really just starting.  Whether his prior suffering was due to neglect by his owners, or a result of being stray for a prolonged period, that’s all over now. Remy's ideal home will have a resident dog that can meet his energy and play-style, as well as help teach him good dog manners. He also requires a fenced yard.

REMY'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.
