ADOPT ME!

Location:             Kansas City, MO area
Age:                     8 - 10 months
Temperament:   sweetheart of a boy, still shy from having been through so much in his young life but quickly becoming a complete lovebug

FOR VIDEO OF TITUS:  scroll down to the pictures  (warning:  be prepared to fall in love ;-0)

 
TITUS is a beautiful GSD dark silver sable youngster with soft ears.  He was seized by Animal Control for cruelty -- who would ever want to hurt this gorgeous little boy?  Hard to understand.  But they did - he had a wound on his back leg (healed nicely).  He's now in great health and spirits in his foster home.  

TITUS is good with cats and dogs and is learning the leash.  He's also quickly becoming house trained and is a fast learner.  With love and training, he'll make some lucky family a beautiful, fun, and VERY loving forever companion! 

Shelter staff loved TITUS while he was there!  He was so scared at the pound and didn't want to come out of his cage, but once out he was very "perky".  All he wanted was to stay by their side all the time -- he was very excited to have company! 

TITUS would love to be a lap dog (if you don't mind a big lap dog ;-0).  He's a lovebug and a wonderful companion.  He has soft fur and a soft heart, and will love you forever.

Are YOU the one to show TITUS that humans really are loving?

TITUS' ADOPTION FEE:  $300.  This covers only part of what we spend on vet care and boarding.  It includes (at minimum) spay/neuter, rabies shot, distemper/parvo shot, bordatella shot, heartworm test, heartworm treatment if necessary, heartworm and flea preventive while in our program, and microchip. 

TO APPLY:  go to "FORMS" on the left-hand menu and submit an Adoption Application.

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.
