About Ozzie
  • Status: Adopted!
  • Adoption Fee: 300.00
  • Species: Dog
  • General Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn with Black
  • Current Age: 10 Years 7 Months (best estimate)
  • Location: 64112
OZZIE is a gorgeous goofball who seems to make everyone fall in love with him at first sight!  He's a happy guy who, though dumped in the country and skinny, loves the world and the people in it.  He's a lover and a smiler, and we're guessing he'd be in your lap if you let him.

Ozzie is new to the program and we're still learning about him, but initial reports are that he's a big loving puppy.  He was dumped in the country and we don't know why, but typically people get a GSD puppy and then when the cute little pup grows to 70 lbs, they realize the commitment and work the dog requires -- and cruelly dump them.   Ozzie was fortunate to be dumped on the property of a person who frequently gets dogs and cats dumped there, but loves animals and works hard to save each one.  The local shelter worked with a local rescue group, and then contacted us.  We were happy to help out and now Ozzie is with us.

Ozzie needs a few groceries but other than that he's in excellent health.  He loves playing with other dogs and did well in play groups while he was in boarding.  He would love, love, LOVE to have a doggie buddy to play with!!!

He's an adorable, goofy, nice dog who makes you grin.  Are YOU the lucky family who will share your life with him?  Are YOU the lucky family who will take him everywhere, love him, train him, and watch him grown into the fantastic adult he can be?  If so, apply now!



DOGS:                 YES!  Needs a doggie buddy to play with!
CATS:                  Unknown as of yet, needs to be tested
KIDS:                   Has been tested around 12 yrs and up, did great.  Believe he would do well around all kids but would need to test smaller kids.  Will have typical issues of any big, young, goofy dog around small kids:  supervision needed to avoid accidentally knocking child over during play, running the child over, etc
IDEAL FAMILY:    An active, loving family with a securely fenced yard (6 ft fence STRONGLY PREFERRED!).  A loving family who will take him everywhere and give him the training in good-dog-manners every dog needs.


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

OZZIE'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.

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.
