About Sassy (A 11.2014)
  • Status: Adopted!
  • Adoption Fee: 350.00
  • Species: Dog
  • General Color: Black with Tan, Yellow or Fawn
  • Housetrained: Yes
 
Sassy is a 7 month old female GSD (fawn & black) that was dumped at KCPP by a mexican family with kids stating that their landlord won't let them keep her. Here is what I've found:
- She plays very well with other dogs and does not try to dominate
 
-Completely ignores cats- has zero interest :)
 
-Kennel trained- she goes in without a peep and stayed quiet all night in there until I let her out in the morning with no accidents.
 
-She was in the house playing and running around up to 2 hours between outside time with no accidents. In fact she starts doing circles and going to the door when she needed to go out and btw- she has watery diareah.
-she does not have any food, treat or toy aggression with people or dogs.
 
-TONS of energy (she even wore out pup out!)
 
-she does not appear to know any commands and would do best to be walked on a prong collar as she would pull on just a regular collar
 
-she does great riding in cars, but will "guard" if someone gets too close to it (as we seen when she went with us to pick up our son and some guy got close to our car)
 
-At this time, she should not be trusted in a home with kids ages 13 and under (or any that have a lot of energy or high pitched loud voices). She lunged twice at my 12 year old -once for skipping through the house and another time for trying to play with our other dog and talking high pitched and excited... She not only lunged but had a very aggressive growl along with it. We were able to grab hold of her and no damage done, but, in someone else's house, they might not be so lucky. She went for his face. She does correct and call off fairly easy and would benefit from strong leadership to help her get past her kid issues since she is still a puppy and impressionable.




DOGS:   Yes
CATS:    Ignored cats during testing.
KIDS:    Due to Sassy's being undersocialized, kids age 13 and up only.
IDEAL FAMILY:  An active family with strong leadership, who will socialize her, and help her through lots of new experiences!

If you're looking for a gorgeous, young, trainable German Shepherd
who will love you forever,
Sassy may be your ideal family member!

Sassy's ADOPTION FEE:   $350
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.

Is Not Good with Kids

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.
