ADOPT ME!


Location:  Omaha NE
Age:          approx. 8-9 yrs
Temperament:  very mellow, calm, super nice girl


LADY O came from a high kill Missouri pound.  She was about to be killed solely because she was scared!  She would curl up in the back of her kennel, where she wanted to stay, and the pound staff were afraid to get her out.  This is so often the case, that shelter staff are uninformed about behavior that is common under stress, when animals are terrorized.  Fortunately, she ended up with us!

LADY O is a true lady.  She's calm, gentle and mellow.  Can you see her smile in her closeup?  She's SO happy to be out of that pound that smelled of terror and death.  She knows she's safe and is grateful.  She will make someone an absolutely delightful companion for a lot of years yet. 

She's in great health, very well behaved, gets along with everybody (humans and dogs), and just wants a wonderful place to call home for the rest of her life.  If you want a calm and beautiful dog who will be loyal and love you forever, LADY O is your girl.

A WORD ABOUT OUR SENIOR DOGS
If you can find a place in your heart for a senior, you're in for the best few years of your life! Shepherds are one of the most intelligent, loyal and loving breeds around -- and seniors are the wise men of the breed. It takes a very special person to foster or adopt a senior dog -- a selfless family that's willing to share their lives with this golden girl for the next five, six or more years.  Someone who's willing to spoil her rotten in her retirement years. That accepts the fact she won't chew up your stuff, tear through the house, insist on going running or endlessly chase the ball. No, she'll sit at your feet and love you and protect you. She'll keep her eye out for anything that's not quite right in your household. She'll be the mature, calm, loyal guardian and companion most people long for. And she'll give you a love so deep you'll never regret the shorter number of years with your family. Each day will be precious. 


LADY O's ADOPTION FEE:   $200.  This  covers all her vetting, including spay, all shots, heartworm test, deworming and microchip.

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.
