More Information:

Sadly, Lady came into rescue when her owner died and she didn't have any place to go.  She and her sibling King were free on the farm for some weeks before it became necessary to move them permanently, and we made room for them despite being overly full.

Lady is a large, beautiful girl with classic German Shepherd looks and a great personality.  After being in boarding all this time she's now in a loving foster home and is really beginning to shine.  She was shy with most kennel workers in boarding, but she walked right into the foster house, made herself at home and started playing with the other dogs.  She is good with other dogs of almost all sizes, and ignores the cats.  She is also good with kids (the foster has older kids).  

Lady is not exactly submissive, however.  She is a German Shepherd, after all!  At first she tried to display some play dominance (placing her head over the back of the senior, etc) over the senior female in her foster home.  However, when corrected she responds instantaneously.  She

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 on each dog.  We made a decision to keep our adoption fee at the 2005 level, even though vet prices have doubled and tripled since then.  We are constantly fundraising 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.
