ROCKY is a spunky and energetic young man with the most adorable floppy ears!  

Rocky seems to be the total package - he's a beautiful boy, friendly with people, gets along well with other dogs of various sizes, is energetic and loves to play!

He is currently in a temp foster home with a young GSD fur-sibling.  They get along well, and Rocky wants to play, play, play!  He has a lot of energy to burn, so he needs an active forever family.  He could potentially make a good running buddy with those long legs of his!  

Check back soon for more information as we get to know Rocky better!

 
DOGS:   YES. Would LOVE a doggie buddy to help him run off some energy!
CATS:    Unknown, will need to be tested.
KIDS:    Unknown, will need to be tested.  We think he would probably be fine with good supervision.  With his high activity level, he could knock over a small child during play.
IDEAL FAMILY:  An active family who will commit to helping him burn off his energy every day!  He's ready to settle in and be a beloved member of the right family!

If you're looking for a spunky, young, energetic furball
who will love you forever,
look no further, ROCKY is waiting for you!

ROCKY'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 o

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.
