ADOPT ME!


Location:  Omaha  
Age:   approx. 2-3 yrs
Temperament:  SUPER SWEET

WOW!  If you're looking for the sweetest German Shepherd ever, PENNY is your girl.  She's loving, well-mannered, housetrained, crate-trained ... you name it.  She's also a love bug.  If there's such a thing as a "perfect" dog, PENNY is it!

PENNY isalso stunningly gorgeous.  The picture of her turned away from the camera is the truest picture we could get of her silky, shiny coat.

PENNY was starved to almost half her normal body weight and full of every kind of worm.  It's hard to show her ribs with her black coat, but look closely at several of her pictures and you'll see that she has almost no back end.  What you see is pure bone covered in fur.  She is a full grown GSD who should weigh about 75 lbs, yet weighed only 37 lbs when she came to us. She's putting on weight nicely and now weighs over 55 lbs with about 15 more to put on.

PENNY was also heartworm positive (so young - it tells you what a rough start she had in this life).  We have treated her and she is doing great - she's ready for her forever family! 

Despite all the unkindness, PENNY has the greatest temperament ever.  Talk about forgiveness!

Everyone falls in love with PENNY right away.  Despite her heartworm, she's full of energy and now that she's starting to get enough to eat she's feeling even better.  She has put on a couple of pounds in the week we've had her and will soon be in a foster home where she'll rapidly put on more weight.

Some VERY luck family will get PENNY!   She will be a fantastic dog for any active family who wants a delightfully easy, gorgeous dog with personality and charm.

 

ADOPTION FEE:    $300  This includes her spay, all shots, heartworm test, HEARTWORM TREATMENT (she was positive), deworming and microchip.  Quite a bargain - we've spend over $800 on Penny's vet work. 

TO APPLY:   Click on "FORMS" in the left hand menu and fill out the "Adoption Application" form.

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.
