SIERRA is a gorgeous girl who has been passed around a bit, and is now very much in need of a home in which to spend her final months or years. 

In 2010, Sierra's owners moved and left her.  Very loving next-door neighbors who had known Sierra since 2006 took her in, and have made her a loved part of their family ever since.  However, they have small children and as Sierra has grown older they don't have the time or money to deal with Sierra's age-related health issues.  She has developed some incontinence  (probably solved with the use of inexpensive estrogen tablets) and her hips are not great.  She is simply getting older and having all the typical problems of aging.

Sierra is a lover and a cuddler, and adores her people.  She's great with with people, including  small children (lives with several, as young as 2 yrs).  She is super loyal and will follow you around.  Sweet, loving Sierra just wants to be loved!

Sierra is looking for that very special person or family who understands the joys of  senior dogs, and is able and willing to help her through this final period of her life.  She just needs a place to lay her head and enjoy her twilight of life.

Sierra lived with cats early in her life but has not been around them in recent years.  On walks, she just wants to sniff other dogs and has never shown any aggression.  The only dog she didn't like was a stray German Shepherd her current owners rescued - she didn't like having a young male stray GSD in the house for a while.  That was probably just normal adjustment and uncertainty at suddenly having another dog in "her" house. 

DOGS:         needs to be introduced to ensure a good match
CATS:         unknown, used to live cats in her early years
KIDS:          yes, lives with small children as young as 2 yrs
IDEAL HOME:  a quiet, loving home where people are around much of the time, and where the family has the resources and time to deal with Sierra's aging issues

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.
