More Information:

GRACIE is a beautiful youngster whose irresponsible breeder had too many dogs, still had 7  month old Gracie at the kennel, and fast-talked a client into taking her as a second dog.  Unfortunately the client's landlord wouldn't permit a second dog and said Gracie had to go.   So Gracie is now with MOGS and starting the grand journey to her forever home, never to be bounced around or treated so carelessly again!  We're so glad her temporary owners, who were trying hard to do something good for her, contacted rescue for help.
 
Gracie is absolutely gorgeous - a bi-color German Shepherd.  She's shy around new people and is most at home with other dogs!  Around other dogs she immediately becomes a typical puppy - bouncy, playful, full of energy.  
 
She lived with a small child for two months and is good with kids.  Cats are unknown and would need to be tested (but we suspect she would be fine).
 
She needs a home with at least one other dog.  Her family will be rewarded many, many times over if they're willing to just patiently introduce her to the good life and show her that humans are okay!

Gracie’s adoption fee is $300.00.

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.
