PERCY is a head-turner!  When you walk down the street with this boy, you'll get lots of ooooh's and aaaaaah's.  Together you'll look like super models strolling the avenue.  But in addition to his incredible good looks, Percy is a warm, affectionate, loving boy.  We're guessing he'd be a lap dog if you permitted it.

Percy was surrendered when his human couldn't care for him.  We're glad to have him safe and sound, and experiencing lots and lots of love!  He was used to living with other dogs and would like a doggie buddy if possible.  He seems to be an even-tempered, mild-mannered boy! 

He will soon be neutered and ready to go to a lifetime home - he's eager to find his forever, lifetime family.  Are YOU the one who will add this handsome devil to your family? 

 
DOGS:                    Yes, appears to like other dogs.  Still testing for smaller dogs
CATS:                     Unknown, would have to be tested
KIDS:                     Have not seen him around kids but suspect he will do well.  Would need to be tested
IDEAL FAMILY:     An active family, perhaps with another dog or two, and a securely fenced yard (6 ft fence strongly preferred).
  
 

PERCY'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.
