ADOPT ME!

****COCO****

LOCATION: Kansas City MO area
AGE: approx. 2 yrs
TEMPERAMENT: very nice girl, in foster care with small children, other dogs and a cat

COCO was rescued from a local high kill shelter just in the nick of time, when a loving foster family stepped up to the plate to say they'd foster her

COCO is a small German Shepherd girl. She came to us at a mere 48 pounds and needs to put on about 12-15 pounds, but will always be on the smaller side. She's a wonderful size for a family looking for a German Shepherd but not necessarily wanting a large dog.

COCO's foster home has very small children, three other large dogs and a cat. COCO is thriving there! She and the "head" dog of the household have had to work out the pecking order, but they've done so and Coco is doing great. She wants desperately to play with the cat and is slowly learning the rules about cat-dog-playtime ;-)

COCO is housetrained and can be somewhat shy at first. She is blossoming in her foster home and will make some lucky family a wonderful lifetime companion.

COCO's adoption fee is $300. This includes all her vetting (spay, all shots, heartworm test and monthly pills, microchip, etc). For an explanation of our fees, policies, and what vetting is covered, please visit us at: http://www.mogsrescue.rescuegroups.org/info/adoption.

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.
