BRANDY is a stunning black GSD at the prime of life.  She's 4 yrs old -- well past puppy stage but full of life and fun.  She loves, loves, loves her people and likes to play but is not obsessive about it. 

A snapshot of BRANDY:

• Approximate weight: TBD
• Fence needs: Securely fenced yard REQUIRED.
• Owner type: An active family who will socialize, socialize, socialize her!  A family who will give her the leadership, training, and exercise that she should have been given from the beginning.
• Favorite activity: Fetching a ball.
• Activity level: Medium-High
• Other animals: TBD
• Kids: No children under 12 years old.

Brandy was surrendered along with Rex (also available for adoption!) by her owners who were moving out of state, and weren't able to take her with them.  She unfortunately, hasn't been socialized much in her life, so is very intimidated by unfamiliar people and new situations.  She needs an owner who is experienced with a fearful or undersocialized dog, and who will take her just about everywhere they go to help her conquer fears of the big world that's waiting for her to see.

Brandy just went into foster care, so please check back soon for updates on her progress!

If you're looking for a gorgeous German Shepherd
who will love you forever and is very trainable,
BRANDY may be your ideal family member!

BRANDY'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.
