KADENCE is a young, energetic, adorable, loving girl who just wants to enjoy life!  At barely 1 year old she's still very much a puppy, though a big one.  She's sweet and like all German Shepherd youngsters, she's still testing her boundaries somewhat.  But she's easily corrected by her wonderful foster family and is quickly learning the ropes:  how to play nice, not get too pushy, behave in the house, and generally how to be a great family pet. 

Kady loves life and like the puppy she still is, adores playing with the other dogs and her humans.  She would love to have a doggie buddy and even is okay with the cat in her foster home.  She lives with older kids but we think she'd be fine around all kids, the only issue being her size and rambunctious energy.  She would have to be supervised around small children at all times just to prevent an accidental knock-over during play.

Kady came to us from a high kill pound where she was on the kill list.  Her energy level and general confusion meant she didn't "show" well on the adoption floor, and so she had to go to rescue or die.  She was 1 of 4 GSDs we pulled out of the shelter that day, all with similar stories.  She was one of the lucky ones, though - she immediately went to a wonderful foster home to start her journey to the rest of her life in the best possible way.  Her foster home can't stay enough good things about her and love her dearly.

Kady is currently finishing up treatment for heartworms and will be ready for adoption on November 30.

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.
