JEB is a beautiful Belgian Malinois who was picked up as a stray.  He's a total sweetheart and is ready-and-waiting for that one very special family to love him forever!

QUICK SNAPSHOT OF JEB :

• Approximate weight: 55lbs
• Fence needs: Securely fenced yard strongly recommended; he can jump very high, so a 6' fence would be best.
• Owner type: Jeb has a lot of energy, so he needs an active family who can get plenty of exercise for him EVERY DAY.  Would make a terrific frisbee dog, agility dog or similar
• Favorite activity:  Being petted/loved on.  Playing fetch or frisbee.
• Activity level: High
• Other animals: Very good with dogs, cats, geese, chickens, horses, etc
• Kids: Behaves appropriately

This smart fella has it all - stunning looks, incredible athleticism, and a bright mind to boot.  He's intelligent, playful and a fast learner.  He loves to show off his speed, and is a whiz at playing catch and retrieving a ball or frisbee.  He can jump extremely high and is grace in motion when he does.  Jeb loves being outdoors, getting lots of exercise, and playing with his people or other animals.  His forever family must be able and willing to give him DAILY EXERCISE, intensive play, and stimulation.  However, although he's very energetic, he seems to lack the intensity of the typical Belgian Malinois. 

He also absolutely LOVES attention and can't get enough petting! He listens, is obedient, and loves to please his people.

He's working on his leash manners, and is mastering how to remain calm and wait his turn to go outdoors and play.  In the house, this gorgeous guy has impeccable house manners and is a pleasure to have around.  He's very comfortable in and out of his crate.  He also waits patiently and will let you know when he needs to go potty. 

Jeb behaves appropriately with everyone:  adults, children, other dogs of all sizes, cats, and all kinds of animals such as geese, chickens and horses.  While he was in the pound a kitten even climbed into his kennel and he wasn't bothered in the least. 

If you want to win Jeb's heart, just give him toys and play with him!  He absolutely adores toys.  This doggie brainiac loves being entertained with mentally stimulating toys like Kong toys stuffed with goodies or peanut butter, and puzzle/chew toys that keep him occupied! 

NOTE:  Jeb's right ear appears to have been surgically cut on one side from top to bottom.  It's a clean cut and has been healing, so he will always have a smaller-than-normal ear.  At first you don't notice it, but when you do it just seems to add character and be a testament to some of the tough times he's been through and survived!


JEB'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.
