Please forgive the green 'red eye' effect of some of her pictures! 
She has gorgeus brown eyes!

PANDORA is a sweetie of a girl who appears to have been used by a backyard breeder to pump out puppies until it became too much trouble.  They then got rid of her and she ended up in a high kill shelter.  But life is good for her now -- as she sits in boarding where loving staff care deeply for her.  Still, it's not a home and she is eagerly waiting for her forever family to walk through the door.

Pandora has been at many events and loves to greet the kids with kisses - a natural momma.  She is calm during most of the chaos, which by itself is impressive.  She loves being with people and is just longing for a home of her own and a family to love on and protect!  She has been fine with other dogs, though when a larger dog came after her she responded in kind.  Like a true German Shepherd, she isn't one to roll over and take an attack without fighting back.   Overall, she's fairly laid back - not hyperactive but full of normal young dog love for life.  She would adore an active family, but doesn't seem to need a daily 5-mile run, just normal walks and daily play periods.

Pandora is one of those low-key, sweet dogs who quietly steal your heart.  She's not flashy or loud, just calm and elegant.  Her coat is now beautiful and shiny and her body has begun to bounce back into shape.  She may not overwhelm you with flash and dazzle the moment you meet her, but spend a little time with her and you'll feel her quiet strength.  She is a confidence and elegant dog who deserves much better than what she has endured.

Pandora was used to pump out puppies and NOW IT'S HER TURN!

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.
