HARLEY is a beautiful and sweet, young soul with the most adorable soft ears!  He and his brother were found under someone's porch when they were just 6-8 weeks old.  They were taken to a shelter where months passed by, but they were still waiting to be adopted!  Harley was scared of all the commotion and people coming in and out, but his brother was very social and was finally adopted.  The shelter reached a point of where they had to close down, and rescue was sought for all the remaining animals.  We picked up Harley right away!

Here's a quick snapshot of HARLEY:

• Approximate weight: 40lbs
• Fence needs: Securely fenced yard strongly recommended until he's able to bond with his family and not be a flight risk.
• Owner type: A family who will not push him to be a happy, social dog, but one who will give him time to adjust and provide endless love, leadership, and training as he grows into a wonderful companion.
• Favorite activity: We're still getting to know Harley!
• Activity level: Medium-High
• Other animals: So far, Harley does well with dogs of all sizes, as well as cats.
• Kids: Respectul kids who will not "force" him to be petted or say hi.

Harley is still unsure around new people, but he's getting better everyday while he waits for the perfect family to notice him. He really needs another dog around to help him feel more confident, and he's perfectly fine sharing his home with small dogs or cats!

Harley'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.
