About Norma Jean
Status: Adopted! Adoption Fee: 300 Species: Dog General Color: Black with Brown, Red, Golden, Orange or Chestnut Current Size: 60 Pounds Potential Size: 60 Pounds Current Age: 16 Years (best estimate)	Housetrained: Yes

Norma Jean is looking for a new home due to no fault of her own, she is another victim of the economic times.

She is a lovely girl born on Valentine's Day 2009 and she is such a sweetheart!

Good with other dogs (previously lived with a young large male dog and a senior male dog), good with cats (lived with two), and grew up with children (ages 6,10,& 15). She was particularly bonded to the 15 YO girl and they were very sad to part. She is young and full of energy - she would love to be your running partner! - but she is equally happy with daily walks and a yard of her own. Won't you consider making her part of your family forever?

She is new to her foster home so we will continue to provide updates as MOGS gets to know Norma Jean. Better pictures to come!

Foster Update 9/8/10

As we get to know Norma Jean a bit better her foster mom says she can be selective about the canine company she keeps, and she would do best in a home as an only dog or with other non-dominant dogs. She reports that Norma is excellent with her teenage daughters, and would probably do well in a home with older children but not really small children as she is still learning about not jumping up. Her foster mom is also working with her on her toy-possessiveness.... teaching her to share. All in all Norma is a very sweet young dog who will make a great companion animal!

STOP!! READ THIS BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER!

We're picky about our adopters.
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.
Will the dog be an inside family pet? We do not adopt to outdoor-only homes. All dogs must be indoor dogs.
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!!
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?
Will you make a lifetime commitment? It's your responsibility to keep your dog safe, loved and cared for FOR LIFE.
Do you understand we expect you to keep that lifetime commitment? It's YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to stick by your family member -- no matter what.
Are you unable or unwilling to make a lifetime commitment? Do not apply.
