More Information:

Sadly, KING came into rescue because his owner died.  King was well cared for and much loved, and he's confused.  He misses his human dad, and went from being a house dog to being turned loose to run the property.  Then he was in boarding and now is in a loving foster home.  He deserves a "final stop" -- his very own loving, forever home!!!

King is an absolute lovebug of a dog and would cuddle with you all day long if you give him the chance.  He's great with all people.  He's a very active boy and needs daily exercise -- and we don't mean just a walk!   He needs interactive play time with his family every single day. 

King can probably live with a submissive female dog (he lived with a submissive female German Shepherd).  However, he would probably be best as an only dog.  He is pushy and wants to run the show, so his owner would have to be extremely firm and a very strong leader if there is another dog in the home.   He'd LOVE to have his humans all to himself!!!

IDEAL HOME:   an active family who will play with him every single day.  A family that loves to love on him and let him love them back!

KIDS:   yes

OTHER DOGS:   Best as an only dog.  Can live with a submissive large dog (lived with a gentle female German Shepherd) but is pushy and wants to run things

CATS:  not recommended 

KING'S ADOPTION FEE:  $300
This fee covers only part of what we spend to vet and board the dogs we save.  On average, we spend over $450 per dog.  We have kept adoption fees at the same level since 2005, even though vet bills have doubled.  We work hard to raise funds to cover the deficit.  At minimum, the adoption fee includes the dog's spay/neuter, heartworm test, heartworm treatment if needed, rabies shot, distemper/parvo shot, bordatella shot, monthly preventives, deworming and microchip.

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.
