More Information:

Location:          Lincoln, NE
Age:                  10 yrs
Temperament:  big old bear, will love you to death

Zed is the most laid-back, easy-going, loving boy your could ever wish for. His greatest joy is to snuggle up with you, bury his head into a pillow or blanket, and sleep for hours.
 
He gets along well with dogs, cats, and children. However, older children (13+) are recommended, as Zed loves to laze around and sleep most of the time.
 
Zed is housebroken, crate trained, and responds to "down," "stay," and "come." He is very quiet and mild-mannered. He is not a barker and greets everyone with a wagging tail and a kiss :)
 
Please note that Zed struggles with stairs, so a home with few to none is important.
 
Please give Zed a chance! He's an older gentleman that will show you undying love and loyalty! If you are looking for a couch potato companion then you've found him in Zed!

Zed's adoption fee is $200.00.

This fee covers a portion of the vet and boarding expenses for the dogs we save.  It includes the dog's spay/neuter, heartworm test, heartworm treatment if needed, rabies, distemper/parvo and bordatella vaccinations, deworming and microchip.

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 boy for the next four, five or more years.  Someone who's willing to spoil him rotten in his retirement years. That accepts the fact he won't chew up your stuff, tear through the house, insist on going running or endlessly chase the ball. No, he'll sit at your feet and love you and protect you. He'll keep her eye out for anything that's not quite right in your household. He'll be the mature, calm, loyal guardian and companion most people long for. And he'll give you a love so deep you'll never regret the shorter number of years with your family. Each day will be precious.

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.
