JADE is a 1-year old black-and-tan German Shepherd. She is on the smaller side, but with the right diet and excercise she will surely develop into a healthy female.

JADE is in a foster home with two other german shepherds. She absolutely adores her foster brother and sister and mimics their every move. She is starting to be playful with the dogs if no one is looking. She is slowly learning that humans will not hurt her. She has her "safe" spots in the foster home where she will quietly cuddle up to escape. Because JADE learns so well from other dogs, JADE will need to go to a home with another dog to help her learn that humans can be trusted.

JADE is very fast. She reminds her foster parents of a deer - she is light on her toes and has long legs so when she takes off she bolts across the yard. She loves water, going for walks, and playing with other dogs.

It may take a while to gain JADE's trust, but with patience and love she will surely be the perfect addition to any home. She needs that certain someone who is willing to teach her that humans can be loving and trustworthy.

SPECIAL NEEDS: JADE needs a lot of patience and love.  She is VERY shy and needs lots of interaction and socialization (such as going to Petsmart, the park, etc).  She can not be forced into situations and instead must gradually be introduced to places and new people. Her new owners must give her time to trust them with the understanding that it may take months before JADE will show her new owners affection. She must go to a home with another dog so she can continue to learn by example. She also requires a 6-foot fence and an owner that is constantly aware of her special needs.

If you have a huge heart for a girl that just needs a lot of time and love to understand that she's safe and loved, JADE would be the perfect dog for you!

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.
