Cole is stunning young male.  Hard to believe that he was abandoned and left to starve before he was fortunate to be picked up and brought to MOGS.  Cole looks like a solid black but the stiffling on his paws show that he is a bi-color.  He is skinny as a rack of bones, and has a brittle coat with dry skin - but imagine what this boy will look like once he is in top shape!

Cole will need some time to settle down, learn that food comes every day, toys are for playing, and human hands are for petting.  Once you get a walk with him he will settle down nicely after about a block and walk suprisingly well on a leash.  But for the first block he resembles a bucking bronco!  We will begin work with this boy on impulse control and general obedience, but with some new manners this stunning boy will be a catch!

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.
