My story

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

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

NELLY came to MOGS from a rural shelter after being dumped with her four puppies on a rural highway.

TEMPERAMENT/BEHAVIOR
Nelly is a super sweet girl who craves love and attention. This girl has gone through a lot to get to Mogs. She will be decompressing in the coming weeks and her confidence will grow as she learns that she is safe and receiving regular meals. More updates to come as we get to know her better.

TRAINING
Nelly may have lived inside a house at some point, she appears to be potty trained and doesn’t have accidents in her kennel. She has been vocal when she sees dogs or humans while on walks. She prefers attention over food, and seems to settle down nicely when she is hanging out with her foster family.

OTHER ANIMALS
Sometimes she is interested and other times uninterested in her foster family’s cats. More to come as we get to know her better and she is introduced to her new foster siblings.




If you're looking for a gorgeous, young, trainable German Shepherd who will love you forever,
NELLY may be your ideal family member!

NELLY'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.
