FALCO is a beautiful 1-year old GSD, who's ready to find his forever home!  He is a pretty well-balanced young GSD, who is great with other dogs, cats, and people.  

PLEASE NOTE: Falco is currently in boarding due to a lack of foster homes! 

Falco is kennel trained, and is still working on potty training, a difficult thing to do while you're in boarding!  We believe he will catch on quickly with a family who's patient, and consistent in their routine with him. 

He LOVES to be with his people!  He will cuddle next to you, or even in your lap!  He loves to play with toys, especially chasing after tennis balls.  He is even willing to share with his doggie friends or siblings.  

He needs to learn the basics of indoor living, such as feeling confident going up and down stairs.  He does sit nicely for a treat, and is content to just be with his "pack" and/or his people. He is a little underweight and could stand to gain 10-15lbs.
 
DOGS:    YES, gets along well with dogs of all sizes! Would love a doggie buddy, but not required.
CATS:     Yes, but with supervision. He ignored the cat during testing.
KIDS:     Yes, with supervision
IDEAL FAMILY:  
 

Falco'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.
