Missouri German Shepherd Rescue      Love In Action - Restoring Hope for German Shepherds               an IRS 501(c)3 non-profit organization

TAMMY is the runt of the litter and also one of the best behaved!  She already comes to her name most of the time.  She's a typical happy, playful, loving puppy.  She's neither aggressive nor shy, but rather happy and confident.  She's also the most "girlie" of the girls - playful and even a litle 'prissy' at times.  Still,she adores a great game of tug of war with a toy, your shirt, your hand -- it doesn't matter -- and is as rough as the roughest of them.  If you're looking for your very own "girlie girl" - sweet, happy, playful and loving - Tammy is probably your dream dog!

THE PUPPIES' STORY:  Their momma is Marie (last picture) - a sweetheart of a girl who's also absolutely gorgeous!  Tiny and petite for a setter, she was found stray and literally starving, weighing only 31 pounds and pregnant.  A good samaritan took her in and committed to keeping her until she could have the puppies and recover her health.   She’s finally starting to gain some weight and is now 41 lbs.  She’s still super skinny but is on the road to being healthy again!  If any of the puppies are half as gorgeous as mom, you’ll have on stunning dog on your hands.   PLEASE SEE THE PICTURES OF MOMMA MARIE BELOW.

DOGS:                       Yes, she'd LOVE a play buddy!
CATS:                        Yes
KIDS:                        OLDER KIDS.  Tammy is super sweet, but at present her favorite activity is nip you in the behind!  She needs additional training and leadership.
IDEAL FAMILY:        An active family who understands that a puppy is a HUGE responsibility - it's like having another baby in the house!  A family who will put up with puppy behaviors - chewing, nipping, peeing - and lovingly train Patsy out of them, lovingly show him through positive reinforcement and direction what "the rules" are.  

 

TAMMY's ADOPTION FEE: $195
This fee covers only part of what we spend to vet, board and rehab 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, your adoption fee includes the dog's spay/neuter, heartworm test, heartworm treatment if needed, rabies shot, distemper/parvo shot, bordatella shot, deworming, monthly heartworm and flea preventives, and microchip. In many cases it also includes surgery and various types of vet treatment for standard issues such as hot spots, ear infections and so on.
