NOVEMBER 13, 2016   JAYCEE WAS PUT TO SLEEP IN OCTOBER 2016.  HAD LUNG CANCER.  DEVELOPED A COUGH THAT GOT SERIOUS OVERIGHT.  ALSO HAD A LATENT TICK DISEASE.  They took her to MU but vets said nothing could be done.  It went very rapidly and was terrible.  She was only 6-7 yrs old.  So sad.  Nancy called Carol Shaw to express condolences.  Their other 4 yr old GSD misses Jaycee terribly.  They may or may not decide to get another one, but not ready now in any case.  Apparently Jaycee was her husband's shadow, and he's having a hard time dealing with it. 

JAYCEE is a beautiful girl who spent most of her life in very rural southeastern Missouri.  She appears to have been loved at one time, but at some point was turned out to make it on her own.  We're scratching our heads over why anyone would do that to her.  She's a terrific buddy, gets along with other large dogs, and loves people and kids.  She's a mature lady who's past the crazy puppy stages but has lots of energy and spunk.  And now that she's safe in a terrific foster home she's having a blast. 

Jaycee is a standard sized German Shepherd, but has some lab mixed in.  Her adorable white feet set her off and give her a unique little flare.  She's a confident girl who loves to play with her family's 3 yr old shepherd mix and romp around the yard together.  She's also learning a lot from her foster sister!

Jaycee's only flaw seems to be that she doesn't like small dogs or cats.  It's possible that she was taunted by them, or even tangled with them while she was surviving on the streets.  She needs a home with another large dog, and with NO small dogs or cats.  Her family will need to be somewhat watchful when out and about, on walks, etc., to make sure that if approached by a small dog they have Jaycee under complete supervision.

Jaycee is very loving and adores her home and family.  She adores kids and is in a foster home with kids ages 7 to 10 years.  She's a "nuzzler" and a cuddler, and will gladly soak up all the loving you can give.  She's loving life and is just waiting, hoping for her very own forever home for the holidays!!

Are YOU the lucky family who's looking for that special companion who's past all the puppy-chewing and over-rambunctiousness, but still full of life and energy?  Jaycee may be your girl!! 


DOGS:                Yes!  Would LOVE a large dog as a buddy and playmate!  NO SMALL DOGS OR CATS.
CATS:                 NO!
KIDS:                 Yes!  In foster care with two kids (ages 7 & 10) and loves them
IDEAL FAMILY:   An activce family with a large dog for Jacyee to play with, but NO small dogs or cats, with a securely fenced yard. 

If you're looking for a great buddy with lots of personality
who will love you forever,
JAYCEE may be your dream girl!

JAYCEE'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.
