Millie is a young, sweet and very loving girl who is looking for her forever home! 

Millie was "not aggressive enough" for her farm owners, who put her on a small town sway and shop page to get rid of her.  A MoGS volunteer saw her listed and immediately investigated. She came to us full of fleas, bald spots and a massive ear infection.  She was scared of everything new and had no idea how to act in a house.  

In the short time she has been with MOGS, Millie has come a long way and is starting to gain more confidence. She is still sometimes nervous with new people and strange situations. She can not be forced into situations and instead must gradually be introduced introduced to places and new people. With patience, love, and continued socialization inside and outside of the home - she will blossom. 

Millie is kennel trained and house-trained. She is still learning leash manners but corrects easily with a Martingale collar.
 
DOGS:    YES. Would love a low-energy and trained doggie buddy, one that does not get in her face.
CATS:     Unknown, would have to be tested.
KIDS:     Has been around kids 9 and 10 years old. Suspect would be fine with more mature children.
IDEAL FAMILY:   An active family who will continue to socialize her, love her, and stay committed to her for life!
 

Millie'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.
