Reservation dogs lead a very hard life with no shelter little food and no vet care. Many of them die young due to accidents deprivation and or sickness among other causes. Eva is a very lucky girl to have made it into rescue and we are very glad that we were able to help her Eva is a typical puppy full of energy and enthusiasm. She enjoys playing with the other dog in the household and she loves to play chase with him in the backyard. She is great with the kids in her foster home. She is sweet and affectionate. She is crate-trained and she is working on her potty-training and doing well. Although not a German Shepherd Eva is a lot like one in that she will need sufficient exercise socialization boundaries and leadership in order to become a well-balanced well-behaved dog.Visit this organization s web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Adoption fees -Puppies up to 6 months 450 Puppies up to 1yr 400 Adult Dogs (1-6yr) 350 Senior Dogs (7yr ) 300 Senior Plus Dogs (10yr ) 250. -There is a 25 non-refundable fee associated with the application for adoption that must be paid before your application can be processed. In the event that you are denied for any reason or that you may decide not to adopt from HUGS at this time for any reason the 25 application fee is non-refundable and will be treated as a donation to the HUGS dogs. -These are our regular adoption fees but they may vary. From time to time a high-profile pet may have a slightly higher adoption fee. All adoption fees go back into the dogs that we rescue. Adoption area -There is an added difficulty in arranging out-of-town home visits coordinating adoption meet and greets and conducting post-adoption follow-up with out-of-town adopters. Because of that we prefer to adopt dogs locally. We may however consider other qualified Midwest applicants within an approximate 200 mile radius of the Omaha-Lincoln NE area on a case-by-case basis for dogs who may not have sufficient local interest. We may consider larger distances for harder-to-place dogs (ex dogs who need to be the only pet in the household etc...).-In all cases we must be able to complete a home visit that meets our standards. Applicants must be willing to travel to the Omaha-Lincoln area for an adoption meet and greet with their prospective new HUGS dog. All household members including current dogs must attend the meet and greet.Safe containment Fencing -Dogs that are allowed to free-roam or be outside unsupervised are at a much higher risk of getting injured lost stolen or otherwise get in trouble. -Even if you have a securily fenced area we expect that it be used as a safe place for the dog to run play and potty not as a place where the dog will live or spend time alone. German Shepherds are very intelligent social people-oriented dogs that need to be with their people in order to be happy well-socialized and well-adjusted.-Dog doors that allow access to the outside when you are not home are not considered safe either. -While we don t require fences for all of our dogs the use of an invisible fence is not approved for a HUGS dog. Invisible fencing doesn t keep out potential dangers to your dog other dogs or rabid animals strangers who may come onto your property with intent to harm or steal your dog or kids who might come taunt your dog and who could get bit. Additionally not all dogs can be trained to obey the system and can still escape get lost or get run over. -Tie outs are not approved as they do not keep out potential dangers to your dog either. Additionally they can be a tangle choke hazard and they are believed to increase frustration and aggression levels in dogs.-Even if you have a safe secure fenced yard HUGS dogs should only be allowed to use the fenced area when supervised (ex your are home watching them or you are outside with the dog). German Shepherds are intelligent very family-oriented dogs. If left outside alone for extended periods of time they can become anxious and frustrated and develop issues such as digging barking and running the fence fence reactivity.-All dogs MUST be INSIDE family pets in their adoptive home. HUGS dogs may NOT be outdoor free-roaming backyard porch outdoor kennel dog house or garage dogs. NO EXCEPTIONS PLEASE.Health -Heartland German Shepherd Rescue (HUGS) dogs will receive necessary veterinary care and will be up-to-date on vaccinations tested for Heartworm disease (started on Heartworm preventative or treated if Heartworm positive) spayed or neutered and microchipped. -We do not guarantee hips or future health beyond what may be apparent to our veterinarian while the dog is in foster care.-We require household pets to have a good routine and preventative vet history that they be up-to-date on Rabies & Distemper vaccinations Heartworm testing and on heartworm preventative at least during mosquito season.Some Basic Information -As part of the application process we ask that you provide references (to include a veterinarian if applicable) and that you allow us to conduct a home visit. -Applicants must be adults 19 years old or older. -Submission of an application for adoption is not a guarantee of approval.
