More Information:

Adorable little TEENA is going to be a stunning adult one day.  She's a classically beautiful German Shepherd, her ears are fully up, she has a lovely GSD stance, and she barks ferociously when people come to the door.  Typical GSD puppy!  
 
She also loves to play and run and romp.  She loves other dogs and plays nicely with them.  Cats are unknown right now but we believe she would be easily trained. She ADORES kids and follows them everywhere!  She would love to have some kids and doggie buddies of her very own.  
 
However, little TEENA had a rough start in life.  She was abused in some way -- we're guessing at minimum that she was kicked and/or beaten.  She's healing nicely physically.  But even better is that this sweet, scared little one is gaining confidence with every passing day.  
 
Her foster home is working on typical things like gentling down her play.  She's almost housetrained and has only had one accident in the house so far.  She's learning to be crate trained and is well behaved in the house.  She already knows what "no" means and is very smart so we believe will be easily trained.  She's very social with other animals once introduced properly and is not at all hyper like some puppies are.  
Beyond the typical puppy training, the only item that requires attention is the typical GSD protectionism, which we think has been exaggerated by her rough start.  She can be overly protective of the humans she bonds with, and her foster home is currently working with her to interrupt those overly-protective reactions and redirect her.  This needs to be part of the ongoing training her new family will do.

Teena’s adoption fee is $350.00.

This fee covers a portion of the vet and boarding expenses for the dogs we save.  It includes the dog's spay/neuter, heartworm test, heartworm treatment if needed, rabies, distemper/parvo and bordatella vaccinations, deworming and microchip.

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.
