Location:             Kansas City area
Age:                     approx. 7 years
Temperament:   a big bear of a boy who gets along with everyone, is low key, calm, and low energy

BOSS is a stunner of a fellow!  He's a big handsome longcoat German Shepherd who was not treated kindly by his former owners.  He was left outdoors 24/7 in a kennel on a farm, and was about to be abandoned there with two horses when the owner moved.  A horse rescuer notified MOGS of this wonderful boy in need.  He's now living the good life in a kennel where he has lots of doggie company all day long.  He's special buddies with ANNABELLE (see her listing) and a MOGS alumni named Macy!  The three of them are together constantly.

BOSS may be 7 yrs old but he's got a lot of living left to do!!!!  He's low key, gentle, calm, mild-mannered and no trouble.  All the kennel staff at the boarding facility adore him!  He's learning how nice life indoors can be, without wind and rain and snow and cold and heat to battle.  He still prefers to sleep on the concrete floor instead of his bed, but we think that will change as he continues to adjust to comforts he has never known before.  All he needs is time and someone who wants a low key guy like him to hang out with. 

BOSS will be great in multi-dog home or in a single dog home.  Cats are unknown at this time and would have to be tested.  He's just so mellow you want to use him as a giant  pillow and love on him endlessly.  BOSS is a terrific boy with a quiet, sweet disposition.  

Only one lucky person will take our mellow BOSS home.

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.
