More Information:

Bo is really Bonita and what a sweetheart of a girl!!  Her owner could no longer care for her and Bo was eventually abandoned at a kennel.  The kennel notified authorities of an abandoned dog and then called us to see if we could help. 

Bo is one of the best tempered dogs ever!  She was severely depressed at first but gradually came out of it.  She really blossomed when she got a Kong --- she carries her peanut butter filled Kong toy with her everywhere! 

Bo is severely overweight (we suspect was fed human food, not all of it good).  This creates some trouble walking, but with a good diet and good nutrition, combined with exercise, she should recover well.  She may have the beginnings of some hip problems, but it's impossible to tell until she gets muscle strength back with exercise, and sheds about 30 lbs.

BO'S ADOPTION FEE: $300
This fee covers only part 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.
