Age:   18 months
Temperament:  fabulous puppy, eager to enjoy life

REINA's story is a sad one.  Sold by a breeder to an elderly couple in their early 80's, she soon became too much for them to handle.  She was no longer a cute little 10 pound puppy, but grew into a 70 lb ball of energy.

At first, REINA was an outdoor dog in the country with her owners.  She ran around and did whatever she wanted, with no training of any sort.  But in short order, her owners moved to the city and put her in the backyard.  As a young dog with lots of energy and no exercise or companionship, she began barking.  This angered the neighbors, so REINA's owners took to putting her in the basement.  So REINA's whole short life has been being tossed outdoors or tossed in the basement. 

REINA is now in a wonderful foster home with three other dogs and a cat, and she is doing fabulously.  When first exposed to other dogs, she seemed aggressive but in short order it was clear that she just hadn't ever met other dogs and didn't know what to do.  She wanted to play with all of them so badly, but she didn't know how so just rushed all of them.  She is now learning appropriate play, so she doesn't overwhelm the other dogs. 

REINA is also learning housebreaking and the general rules of living in a loving household.  REINA is one gorgeous girl who will make someone a fabulous family pet.  She's getting a great start in her foster home.  Will YOU finish her 'schooling' and be her best buddy for life?

REINA'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.
