GRACIE is an adorable, sweet, goofy and darling 3 yr old girl who is an absolute joy!  She was turned into a shelter by an owner -- and we're still scratching our heads over how they could part with this super sweet girl.  This doll is now looking for a FOREVER family who will always love and care for her, and consider her a lifetime member of their family.

Gracie is on the smaller side for a GSD and is a great size for those who want a large dog but not a huge one.   She's super affectionate and loves to be loved on.  She walked right into her foster home and settled right in.  She's an affectionate, easy-to-get-along with girl looking for that one special family to spend her life with.

Gracie lives in a foster home with a cat and two other GSDs, and does great.  She's fine with the other animals, but can easily be an only pet too - she mainly wants to just be with her people!  We haven't seen her around small kids (her foster home has only adults) and we would have to test her, but we believe based on her amenable temperament that she would do well with kids too.  She just seems to love everyone.

Gracie is housebroken, crate trained and knows a few basic manners.  She loves to ride in the car and walk/play outdoors.  She'd love an active family who will play with her and take her places.  She also settles down quite nicely for snuggles and cuddling with the family.

Are YOU the lucky ones who will share your lives with her and be the ones she adores?  If so, apply now!


DOGS:                 Yes, would love a doggie buddy
CATS:                  Yes, lives with a foster cat
KIDS:                   Has not been officially tested but believe she would do well
IDEAL FAMILY:     A moderately-to-highly active family who will exercise her and love her for life!  A securely fenced yard is STRONGLY PREFERRED.

If you're looking for a gorgeous, young, trainable buddy
who will love you forever,
GRACIE may be your the dog of your dreams!

GRACIEs 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.
