Meet little Nadia.

Nadia is a very sweet puppy who was dumped by a backyard breeder when she grew too big to 'sell'.  She has rarely been out of the filty crate she was living in and the whole world is new to her. 

Now that she is clean and fed she is just as inquistive as  a puppy her age should be.  We'll be working with her and getting her current on vet care, as well as spaying.  Check back for updates as we get to know this special girl.

Nadia is doing wonderful. She is not potty trained but is learning more everyday. She is playing more with her foster brothers and sisters and loves kids. She would probably do best with older kids because she looks at little ones like play mates and can be a little rough. She seems to be fine with cats, she just doesn 't understand why they dont play with her like the dogs. Nadia needs a confident owner, she is very unsure of herself and looks to her caregiver for direction. She will need lots of socialization to help her stay confident and happy.

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.
