My name is
Luna!

TEMPERAMENT / BEHAVIOR /TRAINING
While she plays and runs like crazy outside, she has learned how to settle inside the home overall. She kennels easily as well. Longer days in the kennel does mean she needs one last let out for potty (preferably by herself so no distractions) before heading to bed. She is free in the home overnight.

She loves a good chew bone (lumabones and antlers). She hasn’t had a lot of play with balls yet due to foster sibling having toy issues, but she would love someone to teach her.

In the early days in her foster home, she jumped the 4-foot fence to get to her foster mom a few times. The last time her foster mom was prepared, corrected her and has not attempted to jump again.

OTHER ANIMALS
Luna does great with other dogs. Luna loves to play hard with her foster siblings. She will run and chase them, bite at legs and “stalk” them.

PEOPLE
Luna loves her people. As much as she loves to play outside, she also likes some good snuggles and scratches.

MEDICAL
Luna has EPI – Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) is a malabsorptive syndrome caused by insufficient secretion of digestive enzymes from pancreatic acini. This medical condition requires enzymes on every meal, daily probiotic, daily cranberry supplement (UTI risk), Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach (currently slowly moving from puppy to adult) – her food must be 4% or less fiber and fat.

Luna will still have a normal length life but does require her owners being aware of stools and general activity as well as likely needing bloodwork that’s a little more expensive each year.

Added costs to the average shepherd for meds and supplements likely run around $150/month

If you're looking for a gorgeous, young, loving, VERY active German Shepherd who has good energy,
LUNA may be your ideal family member!

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.
