JENNA is a young, beautiful sweetheart! She's a bi-color German Shepherd who loves life, loves people, loves kids and loves other dogs.  She's also good with cats, kids and walks well on a leash.  She has lived with young kids and other dogs, and just wants to always be where the action is. 

Jenna is a typical young German Shepherd:  full of energy and full of life.  We affectionately call them "young lunkheads" -- just like human children, they are exuberant but often lack judgment and need continual guidance until fully trained.  Jenna needs an active home where she will be exercised DAILY.  She needs to continue her socialization and training.  With good leadership, she will in short order be one of the best companions around!  She'll lick you to death to prove it, too ;-)  Jenna would LOVE to have a doggie buddy to pal around and play with, too.

Jenna was originally purchased from a co-worker who was a backyard breeder.  The breeder convinced the young man that he would love to have a GSD.  The young man then lost his job and had to move.  He got a different co-worker to 'temporarily' foster Jenna, but it turned into 6 months and more.  His friend was not able to keep fostering and Jenna was headed to the pound.  That's when we stepped in and prevented her from even getting to the pound.

Jenna is housetrained (never a single accident) and kennel trained (though she fights the kennel).  She LOVES to romp and play around the yard, adores her doggie buddies (especially an Italian Greyhound) and is fine with the 4 cats in the foster home.  Jenna's only issue is that she can break out of a standard kennel, and we have her in a reinforced, sturdy kennel that is almost escape-proof.  We think this stems from having been "bumped around" a lot, and that with security in a great home, she will get past this pretty quickly. 

JENNA IS A GEM!!!!  She thinks she's a lap dog and is love on 4 legs!

 If you want a loving, affectionate, joyful dog
to spend many happy hours and years with,
JENNA is the best you'll find!!!

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.
