WATSON is a stunning young GSD who will melt your heart in record time!  His previous owner inherited him from a family member, but was unable to care for him any longer, so he surrendered him to a local shelter.  Watson is simply an amazing boy who's ready to find that very special home to call his own!

Watson is an easy going guy, who loves to be with his humans.  He gets along well with other dogs of all sizes, and loves to play, play, play!  He has shown very little interest in cats; he merely sniffed the cats and walked away during his test.  And he is housetrained and kennel trained to boot!

Watson's only flaw that we can see is that he consistently jumps a 4' fence.  He's a guy that gets bored easily, and will hop a low fence to see what exciting things are going on next door.  Because of this impressive ability, at this time he can only be adopted to a home with a securely fenced yard with a minimum 6' in height.

Watson seems to be a dream dog!  The complete package!  He just went into foster care, so we are still getting to know him.  Please check back soon for more updates from his foster family!
 
DOGS:    Yes, would love a play buddy!
CATS:     Yes, he was tested with cats and he sniffed them and walked away.
KIDS:     Yes
IDEAL FAMILY:   A family who will provide Watson with the leadership, training, exercise and love he is so deserving of! 6-foot fence is required!
 

WATSON'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.
