About Skipper

  • Status: Adopted!
  • Adoption Fee: 250.00
  • Species: Dog

SKIPPER is an ADORABLE little man, who's ready to steal your heart!  He has a super-sweet personality with a sunny disposition!

Skipper was surrenderd to a local shelter due to financial reasons.  A MoGs volunteer witnessed Skipper's owner literally drag him into the shelter to surrender him! Our hearts broke for him, and we took him into our program immediately.  Despite being scared senseless after being removed from his home, he has never shown any aggression of any kind.  Skipper was heartworm positive, but he has recently completed treatment for it, and is ready to find his forever home!

Skipper is an easy going boy with a moderate activity level.  He LOVES to go on daily walks, and to play and wrestle around with his foster fur-sibling, a sweet Husky.  He's also perfectly content to hang out with his human companions and sneek in a snuggle or two. He is still getting used to new things and new situations, so needs a forever home who will continue socializing him, and exposing him to new things on a regular basis.

He is house trained and kennel trained. He's a little shy when meeting new people at first, but once given a minute or two to take everything in, he's willing to come around and investigate.  Skipper has good house manners, and is currently working on his leash manners.  He does pull some during walks and when he and his foster arrive back at home, because he is excited to be there.

Skipper is great with other dogs, and would love to have a play buddy or two in his forever home!  He LOVES to play with his foster fur-sibling, who is a larger than Skipper, but he also seems to be OK with small dogs, and has shown no aggression towards them when meeting.  Skipper has not been tested with cats yet, but we suspect he would be OK with proper supervision.

Skipper is a dyn-a-mite dog!  Are you looking for an adorable, sweet young man who's ready to be by your side, and snuggle with you forever? 

DOGS:   YES! Skipper would prefer a doggie buddy - similar size or larger would be the best!
CATS:    Unknown, will need to be tested.
KIDS:    Unknown, will need to be tested.
IDEAL FAMILY:  A loving family who will have patience with Skipper, and will continue his journey of becoming more comfortable with the ever-changing world around us.

If you're looking for a handsome, trainable buddy
who will love you forever,
Skipper may be the boy for you!

Skipper's ADOPTION FEE:   $250
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.
