Meet Raven!


AGE: 2 - 3 yrs
Temperament: Sweet, loving, shy

Update 5/3/09: We sure have learned a lot about Raven! Raven has completed her treatment and is now heartworm negative! She gets along great with dogs of all sizes, but cats are a definite no. We are saying no to kids at this time due to her snapping at another dog when startled out of sleep; she otherwise gets along with this dog. Her foster mom reports she is a love bug who likes to snuggle and thinks she is a lap dog. She does well with visitors, although she is shy and takes a while to warm up. She has no food aggression. She is able to scale a 5 foot fence though, and will need a home who does not leave her unattended in their yard. She walks nicely on a leash (she does get excited at first) and rides well in a car.

UPDATE 10.25.08: We've found out that Raven is heartworm positive. She can be treated, but it will be costly. If you can contribute even a few dollars toward Raven's treatment, please go to our main website at www.mogsrescue.com to donate securely through paypal. Raven will be grateful!


RAVEN came to us from Animal Control. She was picked up as a stray, and when her owner came to claim her, he was told she had to be spayed. His words were 'she is no use to me then - keep her'. So, she came to us so we can find her a forever home that wants her for more than a breeder dog. RAVEN is crate trained (she will go in of her own accord and rest there if the door is left open) and house broken. She is a very sweet girl laid back girl, but occasionally lets her 5 foster dog siblings know they can't push her around too much ;-D She's got sweetness AND spunk!

Can you offer her a loving forever home?

RAVEN's adoption fee is $300.  For an explanation of our fees, policies, and what vetting is covered, please visit us at: http://www.mogsrescue.rescuegroups.org/info/adoption.

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.
