More Information:

EVIE is a total sweetheart of a little girl, with a beautiful coat!  She looks for all the world just like a small German Shepherd, but we suspect she's mixed with .... maybe spitz??  It doesn't matter, though -- there isn't a sweeter dog around!  She's an absolute lover and will be a 50 lb. lap dog if you let her.   She just adores people, loves life, and wants to investigate everything and everyone!

Evie is between 1-2 years old and acts like the puppy she still is:  bouncy, inquisitive, energetic, and above all full of life, fun and love.   She just has so much energy and so much sheer joy at being alive and safe!  She was confiscated for cruelty, and was kept in a cage on a front porch most of the time.  It was also reported that she was beaten with a pipe.  We don't see any behavioral signs of frequent beatings, but she has such great energy and inquisitiveness that we can tell she was cooped up for long periods and not exposed to much of life.  It's as if she's experiencing freedom for the first time!

Absolutely the only issue she seems to have is that she likes to dig under the fence to get out and go exploring.  She doesn't really go anyplace when she does get out and usually comes round to the side.  We're guessing this may be related to her early life confined to crate on a porch virtually 24/7, and hope that as she gets used to her newfound freedom and also grows beyond puppyhood, she'll grow out of that.

Evie is also INCREDIBLY smart.  We're used to smart dogs but she's exceptional.  Despite being just a puppy still, she seems to learn most things in just one or two takes!  She is already sitting on command with just a look and a cocked eyebrow from her foster mom.  We believe she will be very easy to train.

She also shows some signs of having a talent for scent work.  She roots out potholders and other items her foster mom has made and carries them around.  We are going to test her further by hiding some of these items and see what she does.

Whatever happened to her previously, she's now a dynamic, loving, energetic, grab-life-by-the-tail kind of girl!  Only one lucky family will get to share life with this sweet, precious girl for many years to come!

If you're looking for a darling, sweet, active medium sized dog
who loves life and will love you madly,
EVIE's your girl!

OTHER DOGS:  yes, all sizes.  LOVES loves to play with other dogs!
CATS:   yes, ignores the cat in her foster home
KIDS:   yes (would have to be tested but don't anticipate any problems)
IDEAL HOME:  an active family home with lots of action and lots of lovin'!!!!  She'd love a doggie buddy to play with.  MUST have a securely fenced yard to romp in.

EVIE'S ADOPTION FEE:   $250

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.
