My name is
Daisy!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.



DAISY came to MOGS from a large-scale puppy mill/hoarder situation several weeks pregnant, significantly underweight, full of parasites, double ear infections, and HW+


TEMPERAMENT / BEHAVIOR

Against all odds, Daisy is a sweet-tempered, loving and affection seeking girl. She loves to hang out with her people, snuggle up next to them on the couch, and relax.

When relaxation time is over, Daisy is a high-energy girl, and requires daily exercise. She loves to walk, and is working on her leash skills (we're not sure she'd ever been on a leash before coming to us). She is also super smart, wants to please, and is very food motivated. She can sometimes have a hard mouth if she is excited, so is working on the concept of 'gentle' when taking treats. Daisy is working on learning sit, down, wait and free. She is crate-trained and house-trained, but isn't yet safe to roam a home unsupervised due to unintentionally destructive behavior when loose inside - she tends to runover, into and through everything still.

PEOPLE and KIDS

Daisy loves people of all ages and sizes. Because she is so under-socialized at this point, and doesn't seem to understand her size and strength, she would do best in a home with kids 10+


OTHER ANIMALS

Daisy is in a foster home with other dogs her size and energy level, and appears to be able to get along with all of their different personalities. She can be a rough player, and would likely enjoy another dog of her size and energy level.

Daisy has a very intense small prey drive and is 100% NOT SAFE with cats or other small animals. She likely needs a fenced-in yard with, at minimum, a 6-ft privacy fence, due to how intensely she focuses on small prey animals when outside.


MEDICAL

Daisy is up-to-date on vaccines, has a current rabies tag, is microchipped and has been spayed.

Daisy did test as Heartworm + on intake, and is currently undergoing treatment to eradicate them from her systerm.

Daisy has no other known health issues.

DAISY'S ADOPTION FEE:   $350
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.
