More Information:

Location:   Kansas City MO area

TWIGGY is a gorgeous classic black-and-tan German Shepherd girl!  She came in to a high kill city pound as a stray and was in terrible condition.  She came in with Morris (also a MOGS Dog) and both were emaciated, heartworm positive and missing the tips of their ears from fly strike.  These sweethearts had clearly been thrown out in a backyard and ignored, even to the point of not feeding them!   We speculate that Morris may even be Tiwggy's dad.

Twiggy is in a foster home with a young child and seems to love kids.  She also lives with other dogs and gets along fine with them.  She started to bond strongly to her foster dad, but when she had to go in to the vet for her heartworm treatment, she seemed to go backwards a bit.  The trust she had started to gain slipped.  She is slowly regaining this trust.

Twiggy is absolutely gorgeous and will break your heart.  But in time - with your patience and love - she will be the best companion and precious family member ever.

If you have a huge heart for a girl who never knew kindness,
and just needs a lot of time and love to understand that she's safe and loved,
Twiggy would be a GREAT dog for you!

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.
