Ceasar has been adopted! 01-01-2006

Ceasar is a dream! He's brand new from the shelter today. Ceasar will be at least 100 pounds when fit. He has a very unusual extra-plush coat which looks like its never been brushed. His paws are so furry and red they look like golden retriever paws. He got his first brushing and stood like a model of a perfect German Shepherd. Already Ceasar's walked on his leash nicely and gotten on well with all the doggie personalities in his foster home. He even played a bit with the other dogs. He loves people and was only mildly interested in cats on his walk. Ceasar graduated from a one-day training course and sits on command. He is quite responsive and will be easily trained.

Ceasar is AKC registered and was microchipped by the shelter. He was turned in to the shelter by his owner with his papers, no reason given. He is not neutered but will be before leaving our care.

Ceasar is a very special dog. We are asking a minimum $500 donation for this boy in order to help our less fortunate rescues. We plan to place him carefully in his happily ever after home. Even though Ceasar is well mannered, he is a very, very large puppy. Grass will not live long under those big playful feet.

At 13 months, Ceasar is still a puppy. German Shepherd males take a while to mature. Any puppy is a big commitment, one you need to be prepared to make for 12 to 15 years. Don't think about adopting a puppy unless you are willing to go through chewed up shoes, dug up plants and obedience and training, and making sure you'll always have a place for your canine family member.

The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible when permitted by law. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.
