More Information:

CAPITAN is one gorgeous, hubba-hubba hunk of German Shepherd!  He's young, strong, energetic, goofy, and loves to play, play, play.  In other words, he's a typical pup and a typical German Shepherd.
 
CAPITAN has lived with other dogs and is great with them.  He's good with kids, although must be supervised simply due to his size and strength (to ensure a child is not accidentally knocked down during play).   Cats are unknown at this time.  CAPITAN seems to love everyone and thinks life is one grand adventure.  He needs an active family who will give him plenty of daily exercise (no cheating and skipping bad weather days!).  His family needs to provide adequate physical and mental stimulation for this gorgeous-but-oh-so-smart boy.
 
CAPITAN came to us, sadly, when a young man was forced to leave his parents' home in an unfortunate family situation.  The young man went to live with a relative and could not keep CAPITAN with them at the relative's house.  He loved CAPITAN dearly but simply too young and too un-situated to care for CAPITAN.   But CAPITAN is now on his way to a stable life and a forever home where he'll be loved and cared for as he deserves.
 
Only one lucky family will have the joy of being CAPITAN's companions.

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.
