Klaus is one of two young males found wandering stay and starving, and taken to the local city pound.  MOGS worked with another GSD rescue and each took one of the boys.

Klaus is a typical young German Shepherd - full of himself and full of energy!!  He's very loving to people and gets along with other dogs when introduced properly.  He is currently living with a male border collie mix and the two are best friends after just a few weeks.  
 
Klaus has no leash manners yet and needs to learn how to react properly on initial greeting while on leash.  This is a matter of training, as we see no native aggression in him.  He is simply a young, energetic and untrained youngster whose former owners did nothing for him.  With training, love, patience and consistent leadership, Klaus will be a wonderful lifetime companion and friend.
 
Klaus needs an active family who will exercise both his body and his mind.  He needs the proper amount of daily exercise and mental stimulation.
 
Cats are unknown at this time.  We have not seen him around small children yet.

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.
