TEMPERAMENT/BEHAVIOR
Wally has just arrived at his foster home, so more information to come as we get to know him. So far he is showing what a quick learner and total love bug he is! He is food motivated, loves his new crinkle stuffy duck toy, and walk nicely on a leash. His foster mom was even able to trim his nails easliy.

TRAINING
This may be Wally’s first time living inside a home, so he is working on his basic house manners such as potty training.

OTHER ANIMALS
He is VERY interested in both of his foster family’s cats but backed off when the younger kitty hissed and swiped at him. He has had successful introductions to his new foster siblings, so far is showing that he is dog friendly.

If you're looking for a handsome, young GSD
to raise and love forever,
WALLY may be your heart dog!

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.
