Noel
Noel is a goofy, beautiful, carefree, energetic and very loving girl who just wants to have fun. She loves playing with the other dogs, going on walks, or just generally doing whatever her foster family is doing. She's going to make someone a fantastic buddy and companion.
BACKSTORYNoel came to MOGS after she was seized by animal control for cruelty. She was starved, dehydrated and left outside with no shelter. She is currently is a foster home.
TEMPERAMENT / BEHAVIOR Noel is amazing. She was seized for extreme cruelty but despite her suffering she still loves people. She's a sweet little girl who is very soft, friendly and goofy. She wants to greet everyone and will be very vocal about it. She loves being in the same room with her humans and will follow everywhere. She acts as a tripping hazard since she picks the least out of the way spot to lay down, especially in the kitchen. She does tend to sniff the counter and floor for yummies but has never jumped up to grab anything. Will try her best to reach into a high chair to get leftovers but will leave it if told to. Her foster family doesn't leave things towards the edge of counters so she is not given the opportunity to steal anything. She does like to chew on stuffed animals and does not know the difference between her toys and baby's toys so her foster family does their best to just keep non-dog toys off the floor. Like most GSDs Noel is a super shedder, her fur is very thick.
TRAININGShe's learning basic manners and doing very well. She is food driven which will help with her training. The first new behavior she had to practice was waiting at baby gates or backyard fences. She has climbed a fence to follow her person on the other side. With a 6 ft fence she will be fine, with a somewhat lower fence, she will need complete supervision in the backyard to avoid escaping. She sometimes jumps baby gates to be closer to her people. She is pretty good at listening and has learned the sit command. She is house broke...read more about Noel |

Lexi
LEXI was transferred to MOGS after being found on the property of a local business, so a stray hold and owner search could be conducted, and to get her the immediate medical help that she needed. At the time of transfer, Lexi was underweight, covered in fleas, missing large amounts of fur, was weak in the back legs from malnutrition, had double ear infections, and was covered in sores and a body-wide skin infection
Temperament/Behavior
Lexi is a sweet Shepherd who is discovering what it means to be a beloved family member after being found abandoned as a stray. She appears to have spent much of her previous life as an outside-only dog, so she is learning the routines, comforts, and joys of indoor family life.
She is a quiet girl with very little barking and has not demonstrated separation anxiety in her foster home. Lexi goes willingly into her kennel and is comfortable using it during the day for quiet, uninterrupted rest time.
She is currently recovering from her recent spay and skin tag removal procedures and has had no complications. As she continues to heal and settle into her new routine, more of her personality is emerging every day.
Training
Lexi is still learning the basics and would benefit from a patient family who will continue building her confidence and skills. She needs additional work with leash walking and is continuing to learn basic commands such as sit, down, and come.
She is eager to experience life with her people, and consistent routines, positive reinforcement, and plenty of encouragement will help her continue to blossom.
People
Lexi can be a little cautious around men and has shown some cowering behavior, so she will benefit from gentle, positive interactions that allow her to build trust at her own pace.
She is good with children and has done well at MOGS meet-and-greets, where she has enjoyed attention, pets, and interaction with people. She also interacts well with other Shepherds who are looking for their forever hom...read more about Lexi |
