Beautiful BeeBee is the sweetest girl out there!  She was surrendered by her owner, who left her at the shelter so quickly that he didn't even give them her name.  She was quite a mess!  She was emaciated, missing large areas of hair, had extremely long nails, among other things.  Such a sad sight.  We're happy to report she is on a great road to recovery, and she's quite a gem too!  She's now looking for the perfect forever family to call her own!

A quick snapshot of BeeBee:

• Approximate weight: Around 65-70lbs (should be closer to 85-90lbs)
• Fence needs: Securely fenced yard strongly recommended to allow her plenty of off-leash time every day so she can burn that energy! 
• Owner type: An active owner who's ready for a mature dog who happens to have lots of crazy puppy energy.
• Favorite activity: Fetch, playing with other dogs, being with her people, snuggling and using your feet as a pillow!
• Activity level: High
• Other animals:  So far, BeeBee gets along well with other dogs, although she does need a strong leader who will teach her the proper way to interact with other dogs.  Supervision always required; at times, she tries to assert herself too much and this can cause annoyances or scuffles with other dogs if it's not corrected.  We strongly recommend having another dog of similar energy level and size in the home to help her burn off her energy.  She can be an only dog, but be prepared to spend a good amount of time with her daily to help expend her energy!
• Kids: She's friendly towards children, but good supervision is required, as she can easily knock over a small child during play.

BeeBee is quite an amazing girl!  So far, she's been friendly with everyone she meets -- men, women, and children!  She has a puppy-like energy level, and it's almost as if she knows good things are coming, because she just wants to play, play, play!  She has pretty good doggie manners, but has a little trouble containing her enthusiasm when she's excited, and does jump up a bit at times.  While she is friendly to children, supervision is required when she's around them simply due to her size, and her ability to know a small child over when she's excited.

She already knows several commands including "Sit", "Shake", "Lay", and "Fetch".  Being on a leash was clearly foreign to her; she tends to be all over the place, and pulls very hard, so her wonderful foster home is working hard to teach her good leash manners when they're out and about, or on walks.  

BeeBee is house trained, and she's kennel trained too!  She is currently kenneled at night and when her foster family is not home.  She goes right in when told to, and at night sleeps wonderfully well.  She considers it her den, as she even goes in on her own at times to lay down when she's tired.  

 

She is friendly with other dogs, but due to a lack of good doggie manners and her crazy puppy energy, she tends to irritate other dogs at times.  She's becoming more comfortable in her foster home, and she's also showing a bit of dominance over the other dogs.  She does really well with correction and is a fast learner!

 

When BeeBee came into our program, she was very stinky, was missing a bunch of hair in several places, and had a fatty tumor on her chest.  The vet found she had a terrible yeast infection on her skin and in her ears.  She aspirated the tumor, and results showed it was just a fatty tumor, and it has since shrunk down and gone away!  She's currently on medication for the yeast infections and is improving, but it will take awhile for her skin to settle down and for the hair to grow back.  She needs her humans to be understanding, and able to provide a little extra TLC.

 

Overall, BeeBee has the sweetest puppy personality and is very goofy but also very loving.  At her foster home, she likes to curl up close to their feet when they are relaxed and watching TV.  She even likes to use their feet as a pillow.  She's a genuine love who's ready to share it with an equally amazing family!

BeeBee'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.
