More Information:

Trina was a breeder dog who was used to mass produce litter after litter of pups.  She is understandably shy and scared, since her entire world was turned upside down!  She lived in a kennel all her life and touched grass for the first time when she came to us (wasn't quite sure what it was, either).  It is clear that she was treated badly.
 
Everything is new and different for Trina.  But it's clear she's a sweet, loving girl who really appreciates her new version of LIVING!  Overall she's done  well -on Day 1 in her new environment, she was already enjoying small cuddles and sharing the occasional puppy kiss!!   
 
KIDS:  However, Trina needs to be in a home with no small children.  The noise and sudden movement of small children startles her and her fear may lead her to nip.

OTHER ANIMALS:  It would be best if she were an only pet.  She is insecure about her place in the doggie pack, and has attacked a smaller dog she lived in foster care when the other dog invaded her space.  She can be around some other large dogs, but is sometimes uncomfortable with it.  Her reactions are somewhat unpredictable.  We think she will be best in a home with only her humans.

Trina's on the smaller side and a beautiful girl.  She ADORES playing with her kong and getting cuddles from humans she knows.  She is still very shy and uncertain at adoption events, and we are trying hard to get her out more!

It says a lot about Trina that -- despite her fear and her entire world going topsy turvy -- on Day 1 in her foster home she gave small cuddles and the occasional kiss!!  

 Are YOU the loving and fortunate family
who will give Trina her fairy tale ending
to a terrible life?

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.
