More Information:

Layla is a sweet little girl who ended up in a high-kill city shelter at just two months of age.  She was pulled out from under a porch, where she cringed in fear.  The shelter refused to even put her up for adoption because she was so terrified that she just sat curled up in a ball and shook, her depression was so great it would break your heart.  We absolutely could not leave her there to die! 

Layla is not yet comfortable around humans but LOVES other dogs and will romp and play with them.  She is making excellent progress around humans in her foster home, and is starting to adjust to new outings.  She actually likes the car and will be a great car rider! 

Layla is a little girl who has been dealt a bad hand by humans and just needs time, patience and love!  She's gorgeous and once she's got stability and the love and patience of a good family, she'll be a fabulous family dog.  The ideal home will have at least one other dog to be her doggie buddy!!!

Layla’s adoption fee is $250
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.
