Mac is young, playful, and full of mischief.  It seems he's just enjoying life off a chain.  Unfortunately he hasn't gotten to enjoy it yet in a home ... just a boarding kennel.  Can't wait for him to get into a foster or adoptive home!

Mac is a very loving dog who really seems to love life.  He can be pretty "blustery" at first (is there a better word for that?) ... posturing with other dogs, especially male dogs.  However, Mac also walks backward as fast his feel will carry him if you squirt him with water!  So it's mostly bluster and lack of training!  We believe that with good doggie leadership and a patient family who will teach him what his former family never bothered to, Mac will be a fantastic companion and playmate.  He's a beautiful reddish-mahogony and black GSD, on the slightly smaller side.  A perfectly-sized diamond in the rough, just waiting for someone to show him the ropes so he can shine.

Check out his pictures and video!

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.
