More Information:

DeeDee was a stray at a high kill pound where her time was up.  She's absolutely gorgeous - poetry in motion in her sleek black fur coat that shines!  She has energy to burn and needs to get out and run like the wind or get on a treadmill for a few hours!!!!
 
DeeDee was in a foster home for a short time but proved too much for the first time fosters to cope with, due to her high energy and her pushy-madam ways.  She is pushy - liked to bully the other dogs in the household with her high energy and self-confidence - but is very trainable.  She needs firm, consistent leadership that will establish the fact that she is not the one in control.

DeeDee also is somewhat territorial.  She did fine when they went 'visiting' at relative's homes, but when people she didn't know came to the foster's home she became very excited and wanted to protect, protect, protect what she saw as "her" turf.  Again, this is very correctable with firm training and leadership.
 
DeeDee needs a high-activity home and one that will provide excellent leadership.  She is not a dog for first time shepherd owners, but requires some experience as well as patience.  Once she is trained, she will be the best conceivable companion out there!!!!!  
 
No cats.  Other dogs only with proper introductions and training.  Children are unknown, but not recommended at this time.

DeeDee’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.

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.
