About Jacinto
  • Status: Adopted!
  • Adoption Fee: 250.00
  • Species: Dog
  • General Color: White
  • Current Age: 9 Years 4 Months (best estimate)
JACINTO is a sweet, young pup who's so cute it hurts!  Jacinto was confiscated for neglect, along with his two sisters (Dahlia and Vinca).  We suspect they may have originally come from a puppy mill, but we can't say for sure.  When we first met them, they were terriried to be around humans, but once they were around other dogs, their tails couldn't stop wagging!  

Jacinto has started to open up in the short time he's been in foster care so far, so we believe he'll adjust to his forever home quickly.  He's showing some spunk and a typical puppy personallity -- very mouthy, herding people, bugging his foster fur-siblings.  He's getting along wonderfully well with his tolerant foster fur-siblings!  Due to his past experiences, we REQUIRE another medium-to-large dog be in his adoptive home.

We immdiately noticed how malnourished the pups are, as the bone structure of Jacinto's legs is not great.  He is now on a high-quality diet and is already making improvements!  He will need to continue being on a very high quality diet for at minumum, his entire first year.

Jacinto just went into foster care, so please check back often for updates on this adorable guy!
 
DOGS: Yes, another dog of medium-to-large size is REQUIRED. Jacinto finds comfort in other dogs, so his housemate(s) should be such that will tolerate a young pup wanting to get some snuggle time with them!
CATS: Unknown, will need to be tested, but give the age, we suspect he would do fine with supervision.
KIDS: Unknown, will need to be tested.  He's mouthy and will likely herd children in his family, so it may be better for him to be in a family with older children.
IDEAL FAMILY: A loving, active family who will provide the proper "upbringing" for the next year or two -- i.e., training, leadership, boundaries, rules, guidance and TONS OF LOVE and snuggles and exercise. 

If you're looking for a dapper young man
who will brighten every day,
JACINTO may be the one for you!


JACINTO'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.
