Jack is the most lovable, most energetic German Shepherd around!!  From the moment he came into his foster home, he made himself right at home.  He is curious and wants to be a part of everything you do and go everywhere you go.  Someone has worked with him because he’s kennel trained and very very housebroken.  He sleeps by our bed, and he will wake us up in the middle of the night if he needs to go outside.  (It’s really cute – he starts out with my husband, nudging him with his nose, and then comes to my side of the bed, and nudges me with his nose while moaning – he goes back and forth until one of us finally decides to get up and let him out.) 

Jack loves to go for walks and loves to ride in the car.  Oh, and did I mention he’s a peanut butter addict?  There’s nothing he won’t do for a little bit of peanut butter. 

Jack has a step-sister (by adoption) named Bianca.  Bianca is about four years older than him, and he is so good with her.  When we go for a walk, if Bianca and I lag behind Jack and my husband, Jack will politely stand and wait for us girls to catch up.  Then he bolts ahead to lead the way. 

We were told by the owner who had to give Jack & Bianca up that Jack was great with his grandkids.  We don’t have firsthand knowledge but don’t doubt it a bit.  Jack is a doll.  He truly loves everyone.   He actually tries to sit on my husband’s lap if my husband is on the floor. 

Jack already knows “sit”, and we are starting obedience training with him tonight.  He already has the most loving personality, and he’s super smart, so after training, he will be the perfect dog. 

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.
