SCOTTIE is a GEM of a young GSD mix, who just wants to play, play, play!  This sweet boy spent the first 6 months of his life in a kennel.  Now that he's out, he's ready to find his forever family!  We believe he's a mix of the German Shepherd breed, potentially with a labrador, so will likely be a medium-sized dog, around 60-70 lbs when full grown. 

Scottie is your typical untrained puppy!  He has LOTS of energy to burn, and will need a good amount of exercise on a regular basis -- at least 1 - 2 hours per day!  Did we mention he LOVES to play?  He is currently learning housetraining, and we believe he'll pick up on that fairly quickly. 

Scottie is great with other dogs, and with people. He just wants to love!  So far, we've seen him with children as young as 8 years old, and he handled himself just fine.  

Are you looking for a loving, young boy, who's trainable and ready for love?  SCOTTIE may be the one for you!

Scottie is very new and has been in his foster home for a short time. Please check back often for foster updates!


DOGS:   YES, would love a doggie buddy!
CATS:    Unknown, will need to be tested
KIDS:    Yes
IDEAL FAMILY:  An active family who will get Scottie plenty of exercise, leadership and training!

If you're looking for a gorgeous, young, trainable furball
who will love you forever,
Scottie may be the one for you!

Scottie's ADOPTION FEE:   $200
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.
