Temperament:  typical goofball puppy, loves other dogs.  NO CHICKENS OR CATS.

BOSCO is a handsome hunka German Shepherd youngster!   He came from a farmer who bought him and promptly threw him outside 24/7.  Left on his own with zero guidance AND UNDERFED, he killed chickens.  He was dumped in a shelter and adopted out to the exact same situation on another farm.  Not surprisingly, he was returned again for the same reason.  He was also accused of killing an outdoor cat. 

BOSCO is 10-15 pounds underweight and we will first get some meat on his bones.  Then we will assess how truly small animal aggressive he is, or whether this was at least in part brought on by malnutrition and near starvation. 

BOSCO lived with four other dogs (all males) and had a ball.  He is not an alpa dog in any sense of the word, but just enjoys playing. 

He's great with kids - he lived with children and was great.  Because of his size and youthful exuberance, we would recommend caution around very small children.

He's beautiful, and with the expert assistance of our foster home he will quickly be housetrained and start learning house manners.  We believe he will make a terrific family pet and will see how he reacts around children.

Our evalutor's assessment is:   in my opinion, a great boy, with loads of potential, needs a bath and some grooming, and somebody who shows him who shows himwhat manners are.  I recommend an obedience class with somebody who knows what they're doing, AND THIS BOY WILL SHINE. 

BOSCO's adoption fee is $300.  For an explanation of our fees, policies, and what vetting is covered, please visit us at: www.mogsrescue.petfinder.com. 

TO APPLY:  To apply for Bosco, go to "FORMS" on the menu and submit an Adoption Appplication Form.

Good with Dogs, Not Good with Cats

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.
