Midnight is a gorgeous and sweet black AKC Registered German Shepherd.  Her full registered name is Frank's Midnight and her birthday is September 21, 2002, making her only about 15 months old.  She was purchased as a puppy from a breeder and her new owner's actually spent the time and money to register her through the American Kennel Club.  Approximately 10 months after she was purchased, there  was a death in the family and her owner was forced to put an ad in the paper "Free to Good Home".  Poor Midnight had the terrible misfortune of being given to an abusive home. 

German Shepherd Rescue received a desperate call from another animal rescue group who had just picked Midnight up from her horrible situation. It seems that when Midnight started to "herd" the family goat like her shepherd instincts told her to do (chasing him), the new owner was going to hit her with a shovel. The neighbor had finally had enough of his abuse of animals and stepped in to get her into a rescue group that would help her find happiness.  We are determined to right the wrong that was done to this innocent girl. 

Midnight is spayed and current on all shots.  We discovered that she lost over 20 pounds during the few months she was in this abusive home.  Despite all she went thru, she has a beautiful shiny coat and has already come out of her shell.  Midnight will be a big girl when she is fully grown.  Her father weighs 130 and her mother 95 pounds, so Midnight might still have some growing to do.

Midnight arrived into our care trembling and terrified.  Our team has been working with her to help her remember that people can be kind.  She is looking for a loving home with someone who will treasure her and respect her for the beautiful creature that she is--someone who will understand that she is confused and afraid, and that she needs time to heal emotionally.  Midnight likes to lean on you for reassurance when you stand next to her, and she has a gentle disposition.  She has had some obedience training and walks nicely on a leash.  She loves children, other dogs and even horses, ducks and pigs.  She gently kissed the pig on the nose thru the fence.

Please!  Do your homework and research before giving a pet away to make sure your pet is in a loving and caring home.  Better still, do not take on a pet unless you can make a lifetime commitment to that animal!  Pets are not disposable commodities or the latest new "toys".
