****Meet Ozzy****
 
Ozzy is a 5 year old GSD whose family has asked MOGS for help in finding him a good home as they don't feel they have the time to give him the attention he needs to be happy. 
Ozzy is a beautiful dog, who is friendly and intelligent and very loveable.  He gets along well with other dogs and people, including children.  Ozzy loves to play and is very energetic and enjoys playing ball and swimming.  He's got an intimidating look, but he doesn't have a mean bone in his body, though he does like to bark at the door when strangers arrive and is a great "alert" dog.   However, when people come inside, he is friendly--sometimes overly so and gets excited and jumps up, though his family is working with him to correct that.
 
Ozzy loves his food, and sometimes begs and has been known to get into the trash if there's a particularly yummy tidbit in there, so his new home will need to be vigilent about keeping the trash out of reach.  Ozzy also likes to make himself comfy on the furniture, so if that is not allowed in his new home, some retraining may be necessary.  Other than thoes couple of "bad habits", Ozzy has very nice house manners.  He is crate trained and house trained and knows sit, down and comes to his name.  Ozzy likes to stay busy and enjoys assisting his owners with whatever they happen to be doing, and is a great dog who is searching for an equally great family to love.   Are you that family?

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.
