Courtesy List for another rescue 

Location:         Burwell, NE (near Grand Island)

Age:                7 yrs

Temperament:  sweet, loving older middle aged girl. Calm, loyal, willingingly shares food and toys with her temporary foster brother

Meet DAKA. This beautiful 7 yr old girl belonged to an  owner whose health was failing and could no longer take care of her.

DAKA is quiet, well-mannered and definitely a woman's dog. She is more guarded with men.  However, once she warms up to you, whether you're male or female, she's fine.  She just wants to know you'll treat her well, and then she's golden.

DAKA is fine with kids, cats and other dogs.  She will probably do best in a home with children over 10, as she's not used to the noise and activity levels of younger children.

She would be content as the 'only' dog but would probably enjoy another dog - a male - as a companion.  She currently has a young, smaller male dog that she loves to play with. She even happily shares her food and toys with him.

DAKA's new family must be knowledgeable of the breed.

DAKA has been spayed and is healthy and up to date on all her vaccinations and preventives.

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.
