FOSTER ME!  ADOPT ME!

LOCATION:   Nebraska

AGE: 2-3 years
TEMPERAMENT:   Loves people, great with kids, loves other dogs, sweet disposition!  
 
WINNIE was chained to a tree in a tiny MO town all her life and then ended up in their tiny, high-kill pound.  We got the plea to save her and couldn't resist.

WINNIE is incredibly sweet despite being chained to a tree all her life.  She was in a temporary foster home with young kids, other dogs, and a cat -- and got along with everyone!  The cat ... well, we think she may never have seen one before!  She followed the cat around, always wanting to know where she is and what she's doing, as if she's just plain fascinated.  When first introduced, the cat hissed at Winnie when she got close so Winnie backed up just far enough to be out of range, then stood there wagging her tail and watching the cat.  She has never been rough at all with the cat, just apparently wonders what on earth this little thing is.

WINNIE loves to play, and especially enjoys playing ball (the first time in her life?).  She's now in a foster home with a grumbly GSD double her size... who can't resist playing with her, and she is teaching him all about her new friend 'the tennis ball' - which he had never wanted to play with before.  She is very smart and quick to learn and wants so badly to please and be loved.

Sweet WINNIE is forgiveness in the fur.  She holds no grudge against the people who chained her for 3 years and ignored her.  She just wants to get on with life and HAVE FUN!  This girl is so affectionate and cuddles like no other, she LOVES her people so very much.  WINNIE will be THE BEST family companion and pet for life.

WINNIE'S ADOPTION FEE:  $200.  This fee covers only a small portion of what we spend on vetting, boarding and caring for the dogs we save.  It includes spay/neuter, heartworm test, heartworm treatment if needed, rabies shot, distemper/parvo shot, bordatella shot, deworming, microchip, and flea/tick treatment while in our program.

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.
