***Special medical condition, Please see details below before applying***

EKO is a happy, sweet, loving young girl who adores every person and every dog she meets. She is happiest being right by her owners side and doesnt require much but a good tummy rub.

EKO previously lived with a wonderful family who loved her very much. She did great with the family's 1.5 year old child. Unfortunately the family can no longer care for EKO because of her skin condition (see below) so we are looking for a loving family who will take tremendous care of her and give her the forever home she greatly deserves.

EKO is doing fabulous in her foster home! She is living with a male and female german shepherd and adores them, all she wants to do is play. She plays loud and a little rough but she is completely submissive and gentle at heart. She does very well on a leash and would LOVE a running buddy!

EKO'S SKIN CONDITION:  We believe she has a mixture of food and outdoor allergies.  She's now on medication to relieve the itching and is on a grain free, natural rabbit-based diet which seems to help.  The allergies are most likely caused by common ingredients in dog food (chicken, beef) and by outdoor factors such as pollen.  She will need an owner who is willing to deal with the cost of the food and the medical treatment and who has the patience, time, and understanding to deal with her skin condition.


DOGS:                  yes, she would love a play buddy.
CATS:                   yes, appears to just want to play.
KIDS:                    yes, lived with a 1.5 year old child and did great.
IDEAL FAMILY:   an active family with lots of love to give who will do whatever it takes to keep her happy and healthy.

EKO's ADOPTION FEE:   $300
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.

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.
