My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello there, my name is Gage! I came to MVPC from a 3 strikes and you're out family. First strike, they kept me outside in a kennel my whole life where I caught a couple different parasitic infections. Second strike, they taught me nothing. Third strike, they weren't very nice to me. Thank goodness I wound up here!

Since I have come to MVPC and a GSD-savvy home, I have flourished into the best version of myself and a great example of my breed. I am super sweet and Iove getting attention from my people! I am a smart fella and I just want to please you. I know my commands but can be stubborn and talkative, as any GSD owner knows. Other dogs are pretty awesome but I don't know much about cats. I want to be with you or near you at all times - I absolutely need a family with GSD experience that will understand me and my needs.

If you are looking for a loyal and loving new pal and are willing to help me become the best version of a GSD, I would love to meet you!

ADOPTION FEE: $300 (All MVPC dogs are heartworm-tested and on prevention, completely vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, crate-trained and house-trained)

ADOPTER: Dog experience
BIRTHDAY: 8/21/20
FENCE: Required (an electric fence is not an acceptable form of containment)
DOG FRIENDLY: Yes!

CATS: Unknown, can be tested
CHILDREN: Yes, 8 and over

I AM READY TO GO HOME!! If you are approved to be my new family, a hold fee of $100 is required and will be applied to the full adoption fee of $300 when MVPC comes to visit your house with me!

***WE DO NOT HOLD DOGS. IF YOU ARE GOING ON VACATION OR ARE NOT YET READY TO PROCEED PLEASE APPLY WHEN YOU ARE.***

INQUIRIES: ALL inquiries begin with a submitted adoption application, which is found on our website, www.miamivalleypitcrew.com. We do not adopt to individuals under the age of 25.

DO NOT: USE THE PETFINDER CONTACT/ADOPT BUTTONS--we are unable to monitor those and you will not receive a response.

PLEASE NOTE: We are volunteer based and a home visit is required; we have a two-hour adoption radius from Kettering, OH for our adult dogs and 75 miles for our puppies. Exceptions for our ADULT dogs only, though rare, may be made on a case-by-case basis but we must be able to do a home visit. Thank you for your understanding!
