Update on Toni:
Toni is gentle and affectionate, and takes treats very nicely
. She enjoys having her teeth brushed. She walks well on a leash and is very playful now that her leg is completely healed. She doesn't bark, and is crate trained. She enjoys taking a bath, but doesn't like a hose. She likes to play with the water in her dish with her paws, and would probably enjoy having a wading pool outside during the warmer months of the year. She loves people and likes to be given one on one attention and playing with rope toys. Toni is going to require a securly fenced yard and will need some training with housebreaking and learning to potty while on leash.

________________________________________________________

Toni is an absolutely adorable girl with a beautiful coat and a great personality. Every time one of the other dogs in her foster home comes near Toni, she kisses and kisses them. The foster mom's comment is, "It's SO cute!"

We rescued Toni from a local high-kill pound where she was to be killed because of an open wound on her leg. We saved her, had the wound stitched up, and she is now getting her bandages changed every day.

The wound is healing nicely and should be healed completely in several weeks when the stitches can come out. She is walking well on that leg, but just needs to take it easy for now. We suspect that after her stitches are removed, she'll be bouncing around and playing like the young dog she is.

Toni is a wonderful size at about 50 lbs. She has the rich coloring of a german shepherd and the slender build of a husky. She will be the perfect pet for a family who wants a young, active and loving companion.

Toni's adoption fee is $200. 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.
