BEAR and JAEGER are two beautiful and goofy young lab mixes who just plain love life!  They love to play, they follow the kids around, they get along great with the cat in their foster home, and do wonderfully with the foster's senior dog.  These boys are the perfect family pets -- loving, fun, goofy!!! They just seem to get along with everyone.

Bear and Jaeger lived with a wonderful family from the time they were small puppies.  Sadly the family lost their home to foreclosure and had to move in with a relative who wouldn't allow them to bring their beloved dogs.  Unfortunately, they didn't notify us until a week after they had already moved out of their house, forcing us into a crisis mode where we had to put all other dogs in need on hold.  A loving friend of theirs had put the boys in boarding for a short time and they needed out quickly.  We scrambled with all our might to find spots for the boys, and one of our incredible foster homes stepped up to the plate to take both boys into their home temporarily! 

Bear and Jaeger are devastated by the loss of their loving home, but are adjusting well in their foster home.  THEY ARE EXTREMELY BONDED, and when separated they cry.  The boys have grown up together since they were both small puppies, and they need to stay together.  THEY WILL ONLY BE ADOPTED TOGETHER.  While this may seem daunting at first for some, the fact is that having a 2nd dog is actually EASIER than having just one!  The dogs play and wear each other out, and are wonderful company for each other.  In this case, the boys entertain each other as well as their family.

Please consider this pair - they're delightful, loving, goofy, and just plain fun!

BEAR and JAEGER's ADOPTION FEE:   $350 for both boys together
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 o

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.
