Meet Zach
 
Zach was adopted from MOGS about a 18 months ago, to a fantatstic home.  Unfortunately, his family is now being forced to give him up due to circumstances beyond their control.  Zach's owner says, "Zach weighs 94 lbs, and is the perfect dog. There is no other way to describe him. You will see when you meet him. We rescued him as a frightened, scared of his shadow 6 month old from mogs in Sept of 2008. He has been to obedience school, and socialized, given much love and will make any family with kids or a single retiree a wonderful companion.  Zach needs to be close to his onwers, physically and emotionally.  He is a family dog and must be able to interact and be with the family.  He is a joy to have around, great manners, great dispoition, loves to go to the park.  Zach puts himself to bed at night and waits for you to get up and let him out in the morning.  He's never had an accident in the house."

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.
