CARRIE is an adorable, sweet, loving, energetic one year old who's taking life by the tail and going for it!  She's so full of joy and excitement that she just wants to jump around and be goofy all the time.  She's affectionate and will be your best buddy ever.

Carrie was bought from a breeder by a family who loved her as long as she was a cute little puppy, then dumped her when she got big.  They obviously never bothered to train her.  She's a whirlwind of energy and doesn't know which direction to turn first.  It seems as if she spent a lot of time in a crate and/or ignored, because she's a bundle of energy and so eager to soak up everything around her as if it's all new.  So we're looking for that one wonderful family with a securely fenced yard and lots of activities who will give her the exercise, stimulation and training she needs.

Carrie has a super sweet temperament and doesn't seem to have a mean bone in her body.  She loves playing with the dogs at doggie day care and MUST have a doggie buddy to play with, one of similar energy level who can play long and hard. 

Carrie is a lover who may well try to be a lap dog once she's in a loving home, and she'll bring you lots of laugh and many years of joy! 

Are YOU the one very lucky family to have this little bundle of delight become a member of your family?  To have this little girl light up your life?  She's small but mighty, and super loving.  If you're ready, willing and able to give her the exercise and training she needs, you'll have the best friend ever!


 
DOGS:                    YES!  Must have another dog as a play buddy, one who can play hard and long and matches her energy level
CATS:                     Unknown, would have to be tested.  BEST GUESS:  can be trained
KIDS:                      Unknown, would have to be tested.  BEST GUESS:  would be great with kids, as long as supervised.  She's young and rambunctious, and could easily knock a child over or scratch a child accidentally while playing
IDEAL FAMILY:      An active, loving family who will play with her DAILY, take her places to socialize her, walk/hike/run with her, and give her the love and training she never got from her owners.  Securely fenced yard REQUIRED. 
 


CARRIE'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.
