PEACHES is a classically gorgeous German Shepherd with drop-dead gorgeous looks.  But she's not just beauty - she's also sweet and loving.  She lived in a household with kids and small dogs, and sadly spent a lot of time in a crate after she grew up and got big.  She knows a few basic commands but needs training and consistent leadership. 

Peaches was an owner surrender from a family with small dogs, and one member of the household developed a medical condition.  It appeared, however, that in reality some members of the family only liked small dogs while others liked big dogs, and ultimately that became the problem.   She was never mistreated or abused, and is a loving girl who simply hasn't had the leadership she needs.  With training and consistency, she'll make someone an incredible lifetime companion.

Peaches is 85 lbs with long legs, and is spayed, crate trained, potty trained, and ready to go home! 

 
DOGS:                   Yes.  Would love a doggie buddy to play with.  Lives with small dogs.
CATS:                   Yes.  Trainable at the very least.  Was scared of the tester cat.
KIDS:                    Yes.  Lived with small child.
IDEAL FAMILY:       An active family who will actually spend time with her and train her!  She's a big, gorgeous puppy who simply needs a leader and some training.

 


PEACHES' 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.
