About Zoe (3.14)
Status: Adopted! Adoption Fee: 350 Species: Dog Current Age: 11 Years 8 Months (best estimate)

ZOE is a darling 4 MONTH FEMALE who was fortunate to be rescued by a GSD lover who was notified of a pup in trouble. Went the rescuer to the place, found Zoe in a dark shed in an airline crate. SHE HAD NEVER BEEN LET OUT. Metal grill door was rusted shut from pee/poop And baby Zoe was living knee deep in her own feces. When she asked owner "How do you feed her"? Answer: "We just push food through the door". Thank God that Zoe's excellent hero took her and ran!

Sadly, the timing is right for believing that precious Zoe was a "left over" Christmas puppy the breeders couldn't sell in time. It's amazing she didn't contract Parvovirus(deadly to so many puppies) and survived such horrifying conditions. Zoe was full of worms but is doing great, and just settling into her foster home where we learn much more about this sweet baby.

Zoe is taking on the world! EVERYTHING is new to her, it's both wonderful and difficult to watch her learn. Her fear and uncertainty about new things is heartbreaking, but she is so young we believe we will be able to help her learn to embrace new things positively when she learns how safe and loved she really is. IN HER FOSTER home, Zoe has shown a distinct lack of confidence around other dogs, she lives with a wonderfully sweet MOGS alum who we hope she will learn to feel comfortable with an even emulate, but at this time she is still afraid. It may be a slow road for Zoe, but when it 'clicks' for her how good life can be - nothing will stop this girl!

STOP!! READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER!

We're picky about our adopters.
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.
Will the dog be an inside family pet? We do not adopt to outdoor-only homes. All dogs must be indoor dogs.
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!!
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?
Will you make a lifetime commitment? It's your responsibility to keep your dog safe, loved and cared for FOR LIFE.
Do you understand we expect you to keep that lifetime commitment? It's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to stick by your family member -- no matter what.
Are you unable or unwilling to make a lifetime commitment? Do not apply.
