NASH is a fluffy, adorable, perky, mellow, responsive, eager to please, and just happy guy!  He has THE most adorable floppy ear ever, and we believe he's an Aussie Shepherd or Aussie mix.

***  Nash is currently in need of a foster home!  Please email Maureen at mogsfostermgr@gmail.com if you can help! *** 

He originally came into the MOGS program in late 2012.  He was a stray in a small town in southern Missouri, the heart of puppy mill country.  He was filthy, matted and starving.  The tiny shelter asked us to help and we did.  We got him to Kansas City, put him boarding, and got him surgery for two blocked salivary glands.  He patiently let us comb out his gorgeous long fur, cut out knots, and bathe him over and over.      

He simply wants to love life and has a super nice personality!   He's easy-going, gentle, and super sweet.  He's incredibly affectionate and is happy to play with you … or mess around on his own if you’re busy.  He enjoys meeting other dogs … but can entertain himself (tho he really likes being with other dogs).  He’s just a joy to have around, and if the foster weren't already full they would adopt Grizz themselves!  He's a super nice boy with a sweetness about him that’s hard to describe.  He's responsive and will be easy to train (though he doesn't need all that much training).

Nash is a big-time cuddler!  He will be a lapdog if you let him, and loves nothing more than to curl up on the bed and gently snuggle with you.  But if you want him to get off, he'll gladly do that too.  He's just so agreeable and sweet it's hard to put in words.  You pretty much have to meet him to understand.  But be warned:  MEET HIM AND YOU'LL FALL INSTANTLY IN LOVE!
 

If you're looking for a medium-sized, handsome, super nice boy
with a great personality who just wants to be safe, secure and loved,
NASH is your boy!

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.
