SINATRA is a charmer!  Just like his namesake, he has a happy-go-lucky charm about him that lures you in.  He's on the small side, probably 65 lbs at full weight (he needs to gain about 10 lbs right now), so is a great size for most homes.  He's a small but might package -- energy, bounce, enthusiasm!  He seems so grateful to be out of the pound and in a safe place that his eyes just sparkle. 

Sinatra was a stray at a high kill city pound and his time was up.  He was also a volunteer favorite because of his winning personality and eagerness to play and please.  He greeted the volunteers joyfully each day, never giving up hope that he would get out that day.  And when his day finally arrived, it was almost as if he couldn't quite believe it.  He jumped and lept a little bit, and then looked at us as if to ask "Is it OK if I do this, I don't want to do anything wrong!"  You can't help but grin at Mr. Sinatra!

Sinatra is in foster care with a sweet boxer female and doing fine with guidance and firm leadership.  He occasionally has to be reminded about his manners!  He clearly was never taught anything by his former owners so he's learning ... and boy, is he a quick study!  Like most GSDs, he's incredibly bright and a fast learner.  He wants to please and responds well to correction.  He has been to the dog park and had a great time checking everything and everyone out.  While he still needs work on things like leash manners and some house manners, overall he's a wonderful youngster who just needs stability, love and training.  He's going to be a real "crooner" for some fortunate family!!

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.
