FOSTER ME OR ADOPT ME!

LOCATION: Kansas
AGE: approx. 18 months - 2 yrs.
TEMPERAMENT: Wonderful disposition!

Update 5/5/09: Wren's foster mom reports she is doing well with the rabbits in the home, so we suspect she would do well with cats. Wren loves to go for rides and for walks! She LOVES toys, plays with big and small dogs, and is just an all around sweet girl. Can you give her a forever home?

Update 3/12/09: Wren is doing wonderfully in her foster home! She is now cratetrained, housetrained and knows the commands "sit", "shake", "no lick", "lay down" and even "play dead". She still has as much energy as ever but is really responding to being in a loving home. Foster mom is working on her jumping but she is also improving in that area as well. Now all she needs is YOU!

Wren is a really sweet dark pigmented black and tan girl with "soft" or "flop" ears. She is quite energetic and does have some separation anxiety. She needs to be crated when her foster mom leaves the home, and she does better when another dog is present. She is great with adults, kids and other dogs. Cats are unknown at this time.

Wren's adoption fee is $300. For an explanation of our fees, policies, and what vetting is covered, please visit us at: www.mogsrescue.petfinder.com.

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.
