SHEBA is a gorgeous, young, and affectionate girl who's FULL of life and really wants to find her forever home!  She's very energetic, typical of a 1 year old GSD.  Like all young German Shepherds, she needs training and strong canine leadership, but once she has them she's going to be a truly remarkable girl!  She adores people and other dogs, and just wants to play, play, play!  

Sheba was a starving stray who ended up at a city shelter.  MoGS immediately stepped in to help her, and she is clearly so grateful of that!  She gets along well with other dogs, but needs to learn how to play with them appropriately.  She would benefit greatly from a calm and well-trained doggie mentor in her adoptive home to play with and learn from.  At least one doggie buddy of medium-to-large size in the home is REQUIRED!  

Sheba is goofy and sweet, and is working on learning some good doggie manners.  She needs a strong leader who will teach her all the things she didn’t have the opportunity to learn as a young puppy.  Sheba has not been tested with cats or small dogs.  We suspect she may have a prey drive so further testing will need to be done.  She is house trained and kennel trained, and is ready for the right family to come along!

Sheba is new to MoGS and will be going to a new foster home soon, so please check back often for foster updates!

Are YOU the family that will give Sheba a lifetime of love and leadership, and never ever desert her? Apply now!

 
DOGS:    YES! Sheba NEEDS a doggie buddy in the home, one that is approximately her size and well-mannered to "mentor" her.
CATS:     Unknown, although we suspect she may have a prey drive. Further testing needed.
KIDS:     Unknown.
IDEAL FAMILY:   An active family with at least one other dog in the home that will train her, provide leadership, and excercise her daily! 6-foot privacy fence strongly preferred.
 

Sheba'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.
