ADOPT ME!

Location:             Kansas City, MO area
Age:                     approx. 1 yr.
Temperament:   sweetheart of a boy, typical youngster, full of energy and love, great with kids and good with dogs

TAYLOR is a gorgeous "fluff-butt" of a young boy who will steal your heart.  He was found starving with a pretty little border collie mix girl, and together they managed to survive.  TAYLOR is beautiful, soft, and one of those dogs you just look at and fall in love with!

 TAYLOR is good with other dogs although he's still learning (typical young boy!!).  He's good in the house and is virtually housetrained.  He's very smart and very trainable.  He's also great with kids (in a foster home with two young children) and good with other dogs (has a foster doggie brother about his own size).   He is neither submissive nor dominant.  

With love and training, he'll make some lucky family a beautiful, fun, and VERY loving forever companion! 

Only one lucky family will get to have TAYLOR as a lifetime companion and cuddlebug.  IS IT YOU? 

TAYLOR's ADOPTION FEE:  $200.  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.
