CONGRATULATIONS to Kristi J and her son Matthew!!  Porter has found a fabulous forever home where he is adored and loved and spoiled.  Quite a difference from the young dog who had been starved and neglected and had to overcome heartworm. YAY!!!

Temperament:  young, playful, goofy, loves attention

Porter is a gorgeous young German Shepherd who came from the mean streets of the inner city.  He was found literally starving and taken to the pound.  We pulled him out  and found out that even at his very young age of 1 year old he's heartworm positive!  This poor boy has been through hell in his short life.  He's young and absolutely stunning.  All he wants is your attention, and he's wonderfully happy whenever he has that. He's starved for both food AND love!!!  Yet he's a sweet, gentle boy.  Even though he's in boarding, he will want back in with you if you go back inside - he doesn't want to be outside by himself!   He's good with other dogs, cats and loves kids.  Like any large puppy, in his enthusiasm he may get too rough, but he is a smart cookie and with training and leadership he will quickly learn the rules of the house! Want a handsome hunk of a companion for life?


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.
