TEGAN is a returning MOGS Alumni, and rejoins us after the divorce of her owners.

TEMPERAMENT

Tegan is a well-behaved, even-tempered bundle of energy and fun. She loves to play outside, and is a major fan of playing in water. One of her favorite games is fetch, and she is very good at bringing balls and toys back and dropping them at your feet. She is also super smart, and already knows basic obedience commands of: come, sit, shake, lay, wait and heel – and she is so good that she does it the first time! She is house trained and crate trained.

Tegan does well on a leash when she is able to wear her preferred harness with a front chest clasp. When she is on a regular collar she likes to pull, but when off leash in her person’s yard, she has perfect recall. She does have quite a high energy level, and requires daily exercise. She also has some mild herding behaviors, which will need to be initially monitored in her new forever home. She does not show much interest in toys or bones, but loves to go for car rides.

Tegan’s new family will need to carefully monitor her eating patterns. She is very food driven, and will eat until she gets sick if allowed. Because of this, she requires portion-controlled feedings in a slow-feed bowl. She also requires regular grooming, in order to keep her beautiful long coat in good shape. She does not like having her feet messed with.

OTHER ANIMALS

Tegan gets along with other dogs of all sizes, and really needs to have a canine buddy in her new home, to play with and burn off her high energy.  Her behavior with cats is unknown.

CHILDREN

Tegan loves, loves, loves kids of all ages, and is very attuned to their emotions. She does sometimes jump and get excited around new people, so children will need to be monitored to prevent being knocked over during initial introductions.

MEDICAL

Tegan has no known medical issues at this time. She is, however, on a very structured feeding schedule to help her lose some excess weight.

If you're looking for an adorable, sweet, high energy youngster
and are able to provide a lifetime home,

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.
