FINALLY GOING HOME!
Donation receipts available upon request. adopted 7/23/2010! Sex: Male DESCRIPTION: Emmett decided to take a stroll with his mom, Esme, and brother, Edward, and was almost hit by a car. Luckily, the car was able to stop and he was rescued along with his family. Emmett is a monkey man. He loves to climb and get into puppy mischief. Good news is Emmett will not be eternally young and will grow into a fine mature GSD. Please do your research before you apply. Be realistic. This cute adorable little man will grow and become a large dog. Please make sure you can make a commitment to this puppy that will last throughout his lifetime. Emmett, as any puppy, will try your patience no end - and you will spend much more money than you ever intended to spend on a dog, you will have things chewed, peed and pooped on and occasionally strange things swallowed and frantic trips to the vet - and you will be ready to throw up your hands - many times! But is it worth it? Oh yes, absolutely! Emmett will love you unconditionally. He will be the best friend you and your children ever had for the rest of his life. We at MAGSR want to make sure that this little prince has the best home ever. Come and meet Emmett- this stunning boy won’t be around long. adopted 7/22/2010! Sex: Male Good With Kids: Likely Medical Alert! Kamo is in very poor physical condition and will need extensive and expensive care to be brought back to health. Please consider donating to our Medical Fund to help defray these costs. Description: Kamo is a sweet, sweet boy - in absolutely horrible shape! He is a walking skeleton and really is thanking his lucky stars right now that he can see that light at the end of the tunnel that means help. He has a skin condition that has been without treatment for a very long time and looks and feels like elephant skin. He has terrible ear infections and never was fed a good diet - or enough food. It tears at your heart to look at this boy with his sad and hangdog expression and his bony body. He is now in a foster home and will be taken care of and loved until he is well enough to go to his permanent home. We will see that he gets the treatment and medical care that he needs. His foster reports that Kamo is a sweetie that is getting along fine with the resident dogs, including a little bitty one. :) His foster will post updates and pictures as Kamo progresses toward good health. This is a great dog with a fantastic personality - and he deserves the best from now on. Adopted 7/20/10! Sex: Male DESCRIPTION: Lincoln is a great little guy; so happy now to be safe and with friends! He loves everyone - and everything! The world is his and he is enjoying every minute of life! :) He is busy now making new doggy friends and hopefully soon will be on the way to his forever family. Yep, Lincoln is kind of a little guy, but has a great big heart and wants everyone to know that he will do everything it takes to make sure he finds that perfect home. Lincoln came into the shelter as a stray, so they did not know too much about him. What they did find out was that he is a super friendly boy and very willing to please his people. He gets along with children and other dogs. He will need some training - but that is to be expected - and taking this handsome young man to training is a requirement for his adoption. Lincoln will make his people proud. Come and meet Lincoln! He would love to sit right down there beside you and tell you all about himself! A foster home to show him the ropes while he is waiting would be wonderful! Mr. Lincoln is waiting. Sex: Male Good With Kids: Likely Update: Kato has had his second round of treatment for heart worms and is doing quite well. He will have to remain on crate rest until May 9, 2010. Update: Kato has completed his heart worm treatment and crate rest. He is having a wonderful time running and playing with the 3 resident dogs. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes, males and females. Kato is a high energy dog that will require a lot of walks and activity and of course training. He walks nicely on a leash, except when he see's little wild critters then he gets all excited and wants to chase, but does respond to correction. He is housebroken and crate trained. He sleeps in his crate at night and is crated when I am not home as he is still learning that everything is not his to chew. Kato is ready to meet his forever family, could that be you? Sex: Female DESCRIPTION: Summer is finally here, she has come a very long way to be with us at MAGSR. Summer and her 2 litter mates were found on a beach in Puerto Rico as tiny little puppies trying to fend for themselves. Luckily for them a wonderful rescue in PR found them and took them into their care until they could find their way to a better life. She has been to the Vet and received a clean bill of health. She is your typical happy go lucky, lovable puppy who will require a lot of patience, love, work and training. Training with a puppy should start young, as what they learn early in life sets the stage for a well balanced adult dog. Summer is living with a loving and caring foster family where she has a foster Mom and Dad, a little girl and a bunch of doggie friends to teach her the ropes. She is enjoying her time playing and learning the finer points of living in a home. She is a bundle of energy with so much to learn. Before committing to a puppy please be sure you are ready to make a lifelong commitment, she may be small now but will grow into a large dog requiring space, lots of exercise, more food and lots of love. Ask to meet Summer, she would love to tell you about her journey. Sex: Male Good With Kids: Likely older DESCRIPTION: Roman was just wandering around town for a while, doing a little sightseeing, checking out good places to grab a free bite, and he was picked up as a stray. The shelter staff has reported that this big guy is very friendly towards people, ok with other dogs and is a definite threat to kitties and small furry animals! :) No kitty household for Roman! Roman has just arrived and we do not know too much about him at this point. We do know that he is a very handsome dog and carries himself with that typical German Shepherd regal presence. Right now he is concentrating on settling in and getting a bite or three to eat and checking out his friends. We will update on his progress soon. In the meantime, Roman would welcome an offer to foster him until he finds the perfect family to share his life. Roman is anticipating your call. Update: I made a visit to Pet Smart in Annapolis. I do great while riding in a car. I enjoy going places. While at Pet Smart I was so good with greeting kids and adults that wanted to pet me. I was friendly with all the other animals around as well. My training is progressing. I love taking my long walks everyday. My coat is beginning to shine along with my personality. Roman enjoys belly rubs and loves to give kisses. I am looking forward to meeting my new adopted family.
Update: Hi everyone from Roman’s foster Mom and Dad. Roman really loves to play with his kong ball. He will chew on it and carry it around with him all day like a pacifier. He likes being petted and brushed. He loves to eat those tasty treats and will even sit and lay down for them. Roman is an easy going guy and loves his leisurely life taking naps everyday and going for long walks. He is a remarkable dog that will easily adjust into a new home. Roman would most likely knock over small children, so a home with older kids would probably be best. He has wonderful house manners is house-trained and crate-trained. Roman is a mature dog in his prime. This dog has many active years left. He will make some lucky family an awesome, loving and loyal companion. Is Roman the dog for you? Please contact us and we will arrange a meeting.
Update: Just to let everyone know, I (Roman) have graduated from sleeping in my crate to having free access to the house at night! We have been working with off-leash commands while playing ball; some treats are still required :) At feeding time, I sit and wait anxiously while keeping out of the way. I have hit my ideal weight: 85 lbs. I am tuned up and ready to show you what I have learned to do! Sex: Male DESCRIPTION: Jerry Lee is a very handsome boy! He knows it and he works it!
This boy is not for a first time dog owner. He definitely needs people who are not only familiar with the breed, but who have had GSD
experience in the past and will commit to a training program with him. Jerry Lee is a great dog! He is friendly and loves to go for walks
and play ball. He is also very, very intelligent and will try to take advantage of his owners if they let him. Without proper training,
Jerry Lee will become overly protective of his environment - with proper training he will make a fantastic companion. If you can give
Jerry Lee the training, the structure and consistency that he needs in his new and forever home, please contact us. We will be happy to
give you more information and hopefully set up a meeting with this gorgeous dog. Update: First, I have to say this Jerry Lee is gorgeous. He is the Brad Pitt and Tom Brady of the GSD world, with beautiful black and red traditional coloration. Handsome, regal, striking, athletic (the balance this guy has!), noble...I run out of adjectives. Pictures do not do him justice you must meet him in person (he was even featured on Unleashed (the Baltimore Sun pet blog) - and is on YouTube!
Over the past few months Jerry Lee and I have learned many things that he LOVES squeaky toys, tennis balls and hot dogs; that toys don't last long around him; that snow is something that you can play in, but it interferes with perimeter checks; that abrupt movements and strange noises make him nervous and he will have to check in with his person to make sure (s)he is ok; that visitors mean more people to give him attention; that he needs consistent rules and boundaries to be at ease.
Jerry is making slow but steady progress in learning how to be a family dog. He has wonderful house manners is house-trained and crate-trained (he considers it his den) is past the chewing stage (except maybe shoes because they smell dog-a-licious) and is learning to respect the human food / cat food / dog food boundaries. Jerry does not guard his food or his toys and will leave it so that the game can continue. He bonds very quickly and tightly to the strongest person in the family, and that person becomes his most valued resource. Jerry knows the following commands: heel, come, sit, down, bed, blanket, ball/toy, yes, no, car (no carsickness for this boy; car rides = fun), and leave-it. Jerry will never be the kind of dog that lovingly greets all strangers with a wagging tail he has the typical GSD aloofness / wary reaction to strangers but once he learns that certain folks are regular visitors, he warms up to them.
Jerry Lee is a sweetheart, wants to please (this dog would really do anything you asked of him) and now he needs the right family and right environment to emphasize his loving and playful nature. Is your family the one? adopted 7/14/10! Sex: Male Good With Kids: Unknown Description:Utah's owner took ill and had to be hospitalized, with no other family members there was no one to care for Utah and he ended up in the shelter. We are still learning about him, but we can tell you he is a big handsome boy. He has gone through a lot of changes but seems to be taking them in stride. He is currently in a foster home with 2 resident dogs and a resident cat to help him adjust to the changes. His foster mom will provide an update once he has settled in. Without proper training and guidance a big boy such as Utah could become hard to handle, so training is a must, it not only helps with teaching good dog manners, but also creates a lifelong bond. Make an appointment to meet and get to know Utah, I am sure you won't be disappointed. Adopted 7/10/10! Sex: Female Good With Kids: Likely
DESCRIPTION: Tazia is a super sweet and a very beautiful young dog. We do not know too much about her, but what we do know is that she just loves people and is very gentle and friendly. Initially a little shy of strangers, she does warm up quickly. Tazia will make some lucky family a wonderful and loyal companion. She would love to have a foster home while she is waiting for her forever and ever family to meet her. Ask to meet Tazia, our Russian Princess :), she will not last long! adopted 7/9/2010! Sex: Male DESCRIPTION: Ice is a beautiful white German Shepherd. His coat is a little longer that the norm and gives him a very regal look. :) He is dignified and reserved - which is pretty typical for a GSD - and he is now looking for a good home. Ice Man is now in a foster home and doing fine. He is housebroken and seems to follow a household routine pretty well. He is a sweet dog, a little timid and shy, but with a good training program he should be A-OK. Training will certainly help Ice with socialization and help to build his confidence in himself - and, of course, training is required for adoption. Ice is living with other GSD's of both sexes, including a very bouncy and annoying puppy and he is acclimating himself very well. Ice is a fantastic and beautiful young GSD with a great future ahead of him now. If you would like him to be part of your life and your family and are willing to commit to this boy for his lifetime, please contact us and we will arrange with his foster to make a meeting happen. Adopted 7/5/10! Sex: Female Good With Kids: Likely Older DESCRIPTION: Meet Tempest, the newest girl in town! This pretty girl has a good temperament; she is friendly and sweet, loves people and gets along with larger dogs. Small dogs - er - not so good! She definitely would not be a good roommate for smaller dogs and probably kitties and small animals. She was reported to have lived outside tied to a tree - so we are not sure if she is familiar with being inside a home or not, but she is a GSD after all - and smart! :) It won't take long at all for her to pick up the basics of living in a home. This pretty girl could really use a good home - some love, some structure, definitely consistency and patience;--- training, definitely training, and she is golden! You have yourself a great family dog! A foster home to tide her over til that perfect forever home comes along would be great! Tempest has so much potential! She is at the vet's office right now getting checked out and spayed. She will be ready to make your acquaintance very soon. Please contact us to arrange a meeting. ADOPTED 7/03/2010! Sex: Male DESCRIPTION: This is Jack! He is a great guy! And you know, just everyone knows Jack! :) Jack is here because his family split and he had to find a new place to live fast and a new family to love this time forever. He is a typical goofy, untrained and friendly puppy. Slobber you with kisses and maybe knock you over at the same time - yes, he will! H e has no manners to speak of, but he is a good-hearted big guy and would love you to teach him. He would love to go on long walks and hikes, maybe be a great jogging buddy....you name it, he would do anything to please. He will need training and this is a requirement for adoption, and he should do well. Training will help the bond between the dog and his owner, and both will benefit in the long run. .Jack would most likely do well in any type family, however, because of his age, size and exuberance, toddlers and very small children may be inadvertently knocked over - older kids and young adults might be best. Jack is all ready now to be introduced to his forever family. Please contact us to arrange to meet him. Sex: Female Good With Kids: Likely Older DESCRIPTION:Chantilly has been returned to us and is again actively seeking a forever home. Her former home could not provide the necessary time to socialize this high spirited child. :) Chantilly is a beautiful girl - very feminine in appearance and is a stunner! She is just a little shy, and still very much a puppy in her mannerisms and behaviors. She will definitely require a home with an experienced owner/handler and a family with prior German Shepherd knowledge and experience. Chantilly will absolutely need a commitment to a training program with a qualified trainer. This is no shrinking violet! Nope! This girl has a mind of her own and is quite capable of taking control if you let her. Chantilly will definitely need training in addition to patience, love, stability and consistency. Training with the dog more than anything cements the bond between the family and the dog and gives the dog the confidence it needs to be not only a well adjusted and well behaved member of the family, but also a socially acceptable member of the family pack. She will become a dog that can go anywhere with her people and make them proud. Chantilly is all ready and waiting to meet her forever family now. Ask to meet this very beautiful girl. adopted 6/25/2010! Sex: Female DESCRIPTION: This beautiful dog has come to us in search of a forever home. Chile is gorgeous, willful, energetic
and very playful. She has lived with children, chased the cats, but did not hurt them and also lived with chickens and did not harm them. This dog is a
virtual blank slate. She has had very little in the way of training and has so very much to offer the right family. Jump up on you? Yes, Mouthy? Yes.
Smart? Oh yes! Verrrrrry smart! Without the proper structure, consistency, limits set, boundaries drawn and training, Chile is the type of dog that will
take over in no time at all. She will become bored without stimulation and direction, and a bored dog gets into trouble very easily. :) Chile will require
a breed knowledgeable owner and handler that will be willing to work with this very bright young dog and bring her to her true potential. This is a fantastic
dog! She is waiting now to meet her forever family. Ask to meet Chile! Sex: Female Good With Kids: Likely older DESCRIPTION:Athena and Judge came in together - both from a pretty poor environment. She, like her pal Judge, is a pretty large dog and also has not had much in the way of "schooling" :) She is a good, friendly girl, though. Pretty - not too petite, granted, but a nice solid and good looking dog :D She, too has a lot to learn. She was not ever taught the niceties of leash manners and probably was also housed outdoors all her life. She is more or less a blank slate. She did transport well on the long ride here and is now ready for a home, family life and some training to make her the perfect, perfect pet. Athena is looking for a family that will help her to live up to her "heavenly" name and help her to become the goddess we know is in there somewhere! :) Athena is a sweetheart - and she is waiting. Would you like to meet her and give her a second chance at a good life? Please contact us to arrange to meet her. ADOPTED 6/14/10! Sex: Female Good With Kids: Yes, over 10 DESCRIPTION: Sequoia is the female half of a severely neglected and abused backyard breeding pair. She and Caleb were tied in all their lives and had very minimal care if any. She is beautiful and friendly, but thin and a little shy. Sequoia walked pretty well on the leash, but you could tell this was a totally new experience for her. She has had very little experience with being treated nice. Sequoia shows no aggression, she is just a mite hesitant and cautious -- which is understandable. She is learning EVERYTHING. :) Sequoia would do well in a family setting. You will need to be patient and go slow, but she promises to catch on rather quickly. A lot of love, good food, lots of training -- which will help both the dog and her people to cement that all important relationship, and you have a wonderful and lifelong companion. Sequoia is all ready to meet her future family. Ask to see her soon. You will not be disappointed. UPDATE: Hi it’s me Sequioa, I just wanted to give an update on my progress. I am currently in a foster home and loving it. I am now 21 months old and currently weigh 65lbs. I am now housebroken and very well behaved in a home. I am living with a very handsome male GSD and cats. I am working on my obedience training with my foster mom. I have learned sit, stay, come, up, down, paw, high 5, wave and touch. I am a little skittish around children and I am still a little shy but I am learning to be social. Ask to meet me today! ADOPTED 6/13/10! Sex: Female DESCRIPTION: Elba is a typical carefree and happy puppy! She is beautiful and bouncy and happy; bright as a penny and ready to take on the world - head on! She is in need of a home now. Elba has so very much to learn - and she will do well. She will fit into just about any home; single people, a family with children, etc., - although with her young age and exuberance a very young toddler might be knocked over in her desire to play. A home with older children might be a wiser choice. Elba will require patience, probably housebreaking, and lots of training. :) She will try your patience, might chew your shoes and soil a carpet or two, but she will give you love by the tons! Unconditional, slurpy and happy love....can't get any better than that! :) This is a puppy - a blank slate. What you put into her is what you will get. She deserves the best now. Please do your research before you apply for a puppy. This is a 12-15 year commitment that should be taken very seriously. If you have what it takes, Elba is waiting. Contact us now to arrange a meeting. UPDATE: Hi folks, wanted to give you an update on how i'm doing in my foster home. I've been here for a couple of weeks now. When I first got here, I was a little under the weather, but I had a pretty long way to come into MAGSR. Fortunately, for me, my foster mom is the best in the world. She nursed me back to perfect health. And now Ii'm one happy puppy, pouncing around the yard with my foster sister, trying VERY HARD to catch this little bunny that's hopping around. I am very smart. I know some basic commands and my foster mom is working with me diligently everyday to learn all I can for my new furever family. I go potty outside, and NEVER in the house. I am crate trained, when mom goes to work, but when she comes home and we go to bed, I sleep next to her and my sister on the floor, without wandering and without incident or accident. My foster mom always tells everyone what a smart girl I am, and what a good girl I am. I love to go for carrides, walks, and training with me will be a blast. Are you the family for me? I'm here waiting, let's meet. Sex: Female
Medical Alert! Ginger unfortunately joins other rescue friends that are heartworm positive and she also needs expensive care, please consider donating to our Medical Fund to help Ginger and the others to help defray these costs. Sex: Male DESCRIPTION: Judge is one really big dude! He comes to us from not so nice a situation - and was living in a pretty nasty place. Judge is friendly, although lacking in a lot of canine social graces, (he does have a lot to learn :), he is coming along. Judge gets along fine with other dogs and was boarded with Athena. He welcomed the company and was also learning to walk pretty well on a leash. Judge has a lot to learn, but he is willing and very, very eager to please. We believe that he was housed outdoors and not in a home, so he will have to be made familiar with the rules of his new home and will absolutely need to enroll in training. Judge is a good old boy that deserves a second chance at a good life. As we learn more about him we will update from time to time. He could really use a foster home right now to help him get all ready for that forever family that is just down the road. If you would like to meet this big boy, please contact us. We can make it happen! Update: Judge has been with us now for a few days. He is still on meds for the pneumonia but shows signs of being a bright, clever and loving boy. When we brought Judge home it took a while for him to jump out the car....about an hour! We just let him do his thing and before long he was out sniffing around the garden and finding himself a cool place to lay among the roses. Judge is quite shy and unsure about humans but is allowing us to pet him and he loves it. I got a lovely wagging tail and big hug from him this morning and he joined us all at the dinner table last night. He still is not eating much and needs a good bath. His sneezing has stopped so wont be long before he is shining like new. Judge needs a caring loving home, likes other dogs and appears to be house trained. Sex: Male Good With Kids: Likely older Description: Major was surrendered to the shelter because his owner could no longer afford his care. This beautiful dog is housebroken and crate trained and is said to have lived inside and outside. Major is very friendly and gets along very well with all people and other dogs. He does chase the cats, though and is extremely food motivated. He is not too happy about sharing his rawhide treats.:) He is a little thin, but basically in very good shape. This is an active, playful, affectionate, talkative and very typical 18 month old pup that has little training and has a lot to learn. Training is a requirement for adoption through MAGSR and Major will truly benefit from the structure, consistency and discipline that training with his family will give him. It will not only help to strengthen that owner/dog bond, it will insure that you have a well behaved dog that is a pleasure for all to be around. Major has a lot to learn and is very eager to get on with it! If you feel that you can give this gorgeous dog a home forever and have the patience and dedication to see him through his training and puppy-hood, please contact us. Major is ready now to meet you. adopted 6/12/2010! DESCRIPTION: Miley is a very sweet and loving little girl that has not been treated well at all - and it shows. She showed up at the shelter scrawny and dirty and with a skin condition that is being treated now as we speak. She is a lovely girl and deserves so much better that the way she was treated. Miley is in her foster home now enjoying life as it should have been all along. She has some kids to love on her, a caring and attentive foster mom, and a whole bunch of foster dogs to keep her company and show her the ropes of living in a home. She has a full belly, will get her itchies and scratchies taken care of; she has a temporary home - and this is good for now. In the long scheme of things, tho, she knows that there is a permanent home that is just right and it is somewhere out there waiting for her. Miley's foster mom will send updates and new pictures from time to time. If you feel that you can give Miley a loving and permanent home and can commit to her for life, please contact us and we will arrange for you to meet this pretty miss. Adopted 6/6/10! Sex: Male Good With Kids: Likely Older DESCRIPTION: Poor Jonas - or maybe now lucky Jonas. Jonas has never been inside a home. When we initially met him, it was obvious that he apparently had never seen a brush or had a bath in his short life either. He is in dire need of socialization and was a rather scruffy boy :) and just a little unsure of what on earth is going on now. Lucky for Jonas MAGSR has stepped, patted him on the head, told him not to worry and that we would make sure that we work on his socialization skills and have him up to snuff in no time! Jonas was so very happy to hear that - he would love to be a rock star after all! :) Jonas is young and also a very handsome and good looking dog. He will need a breed experienced owner/handler who will absolutely need to commit to a training program to make sure this boy meets his full potential. It will take a little time. He is timid in new situations, but again, in time it will all work out. Jonas needs the patience, structure and consistency that training and a loving family can give him. He is presently being neutered and checked out - vaccines up to date, etc., at the vets and will be ready to meet his forever family very soon. If you feel that you can give this gorgeous dog a home forever - a home that he really deserves and are willing to work with him, please contact us and we will arrange for you to meet him soon. adopted 6/4/2010! Sex: Male Good With Kids: Likely Older DESCRIPTION: Disco's people moved off and abandoned him. He was left in his backyard tied to a tree along with a broken crate and a bag of trash. This is a beautiful, friendly and simply gorgeous dog that does not deserve to be treated this way. He is really ready to move on now...Has his plan of action and is all set to find that perfect home and family. Disco knows it is out there somewhere. A young, untrained and exuberant boy, Disco will of course need a patient owner/ handler and training. Training - oh, yes! Training is a requirement for adoption, and in this case will serve both Disco and his people well! :) He is smart, bouncy and ready to go! Training will definitely help to bond Disco to his new family and will help to make him a very acceptable member of society to boot! He is a typical young dog and will fit into any type of family. Because of his size and his exuberance, however, very young children - toddlers - might be knocked over, so a family with older kids might be better suited. Disco is ready to dance his way into your heart and home right now! Ask to meet him - he is waiting! adopted 6/1/2010!!! Sex: Male Good With Kids: Yes
DESCRIPTION: Meet the suave and handsome, Thorne. He is a big, solid and very good looking boy! Thorne is an older boy -- and to be this age and lose your home - irregardless if it was maybe not the best home, is kind of upsetting especially to a German Shepherd. Shepherds bond very tightly to their people and love them unconditionally....this boy, deposited at a shelter at his age, apparently not having had the best of lives, is mourning his people. How sad - and sweet. We have assured the sweet and gentle Mr. Thorne that we are hellbent on finding him now the best home we can - and it will be his forever. This dog deserves the very best. Thorne is not only beautiful in appearance, he is beautiful inside, too. He has a wonderful and even temperament. Thorne will make a terrific family companion. He needs some lessons in leash walking - a tweaking on obedience - and this is required; and then you have yourself a great dog! Thorne is very friendly and right now enjoying life in his foster home with a fur foster sister and two adults that think he is the special boy that he really is. He knows some commands - sit and down - and in the coming days, we are sure he will learn more and more. His foster family will update from time to time. If you can give this boy the permanent and wonderful - no - the very best home - then please contact us. Thorne is waiting to make your acquaintance.....and he is a keeper! Update: After just a few short days, Thorne is loving the good life! He follows me all over the house now, upstairs and down, and my husband reports that he runs the house looking out windows when I leave. He's taken to his nice soft bed and loves snuggling in it. He LOVES to be brushed and it works better as a reward than treats - just brush him! He'd love a home where he gets lots of attention, snuggles, and of course, brushing! Update: Thorne has had an eventful week. He had some problems with his teeth and on Friday he went to see some very nice doctors who helped him out. He lost a few teeth, but you'll hardly notice and his mouth is a lot happier now! Thorne REALLY wants to thank everyone who donates to the MAGSR MEDICAL FUND for helping him get the surgery to remove his bad teeth and clean the good ones! Update: Thorne attended the MAGSR adopter's reunion on Saturday and did not meet a single dog he didn't like. He got lots of love from all of the people there and helped us sell items at the merchandise stand. The barbecue guy even gave him some tasty treats! By the end of the day he was worn out and ready for a nap and a nice bath. Now he is clean and happily working on a tasty stuffed kong. Adopted 5/31/2010 Sex: Male Good With Kids: 8 and Older
DESCRIPTION: This handsome boy is called, Soldier. He is a bit of a ham, very outgoing and seems to prefer human ladies to human men! :) He is a schmoozer! But don't let that fool you - He would be fine in a household with either men or women - or both! :) It is obvious that somewhere in his history Soldier had some lessons in the basics - he will sit very nicely, and is well behaved when walking on a leash. However, he will need to take that learning a mite further - and get some more education and training. He is leaving it up to his new future forever family to arrange that. He gets along well with other dogs, because of his size and exuberance, very young children - toddlers - might be inadvertently bowled over, older kids might be a better bet. Soldier does take direction well. It is apparent that he will bond very tightly to his people and he is eager - ready and eager to learn new things. Soldier is a smart boy - training, structure, patience and lots and lots of love -- this boy will soak it up! Soldier is waiting now to meet his family. If you would like to give this boy a loving home, please contact us and we will arrange a meeting. You will definitely be impressed! Soldier is a keeper! Update: Hi folks, Soldier here, just want to let you know I'm trying to patiently wait for a foster or furever home please. I REALLY do not like the kennel setting, it's very loud and I don't like that. I would like a nice quiet warm home please. I love to be around people and do not like this kennel. I like going for long walks, jogs, whatever you like, I know I will like. I am very versatile. I am a very big, beautiful boy, and the volunteers here tell me all the time. They also say I really need to get out of here to see my true personality shine. I've been without a family for way too long now, and I am ready to settle down. Please come and meet me, I promise you won't be disappointed. See you soon. Sex: Male Good With Kids: Yes DESCRIPTION: Trey is "movie star handsome"! He is a gorgeous young man and is now in search of a permanent home. Trey's person suddenly passed away leaving him without a home. He did live with two other dogs and he does get along well with others. :) He is currently in foster with another dog and a bird! Not sure about cats, though. Trey is a tall boy - he is very social and looks to his person for direction. He is crate trained, loves chew toys and bones and walks well on a leash. This is a very loving young dog and will bond very tightly with his people. He will, of course, require training - which is a requirement for adoption. Trey should be right up there at the head of the class! If you feel that Trey is the loyal companion that you have been searching for and can offer him a stable and loving home, please contact us to arrange a meeting. You will not be disappointed - and hurry - he will not last long! Adopted 5/23/2010!!! Sex: Male Good With Kids: 7 and Older
Description: Meet Mahoney! This great looking young man would love to be part of your family. Mahoney is an outgoing and friendly boy who is now actively seeking a permanent place to settle his paws forever. He would be great in any type of family, although with his young age and typical young dog energy level, toddlers and very young children may inadvertently be knocked over in his enthusiasm to play. This is a young dog, a relatively blank slate (read - needs training - big time), he will need a person or persons to take charge and show him the way to the path of all that is right and good as far as a young dog is concerned! :) Mahoney is a great dog! He will need that training, and patience and lots and lots of love. Training is, of course required for adoption - and it is so necessary to help the dog and his people to form that all important bond that is so necessary for a happy dog and an even happier owner! If you feel that you have what it takes - a commitment to the dog for the rest of his life, please ask to meet him. Mahoney is waiting now and a foster home while he is waiting for his forever folks would be great. adopted 5/14/2010! Sex: Female
Description: Sweet Liza is a nice little lady who is now in search of a home and would like everyone to know that she does get along with almost anything and everyone. She is a little bit shy, not sure of what is going on in her life right now, but a good girl who is so anxious and eager to please. She will do well with just about any family. Two person, one person, kids, other dogs - not sure about cats - but this is a nice family dog that would love to grow old with you and your kids! She is young enough to be part of an active lifestyle and yet just past that nutty puppy stage of life. Liza will need training, she does need to learn a few things, true - this will help her family as well as herself to become a family unit. The result will be a happy family, a happy dog, and a well trained dog, to boot! :) Please give this sweet girl a second chance, won't you? Liza would love to make herself at home in your home. She is all ready to meet you. Please contact us to arrange to see her. Adopted 5/10/2010!! Sex: Female DESCRIPTION: Pretty little Sara was adopted from MAGSR as a very young puppy and up until recently lived in a wonderful home and was very, very much loved.

She loves to go on walks and is well leash trained. She loves to hike and is trained to heel while her person is jogging. Sara is not all activity, however, she is a total love bug and snuggler. She will lie at your feet and keep your toes toasty while you are reading or watching TV. She lives to be petted and loved on, and she loves to eat! Sara is housebroken, crate trained and has lived with another dog. She is fine with another dog as long as she can be in charge....Sara is a bit picky about her friends. Would this be the dog that would complete your family? Come and meet her. Sara is waiting! adopted 5/10/2010! Sex: Female
Description: Kit is a beautiful girl - she has movie star looks and is now seeking a new and permanent home. Kit's is being given up because her family just is not around to give her any time or attention any longer. Poor Kit is in desperate need of a good, stable home with people that will take her on walks and take her to training. She needs a bit of socializing with other dogs, but on the whole this is a nice girl who just needs to get out and meet other dogs, other people, see the world - or the neighborhood! She takes her treats gently and loves attention! Kit is friendly, and very eager to please. Please ask to meet her today. Adopted 5/8/2010!! Sex: Male Good With Kids: Unknown DESCRIPTION: Wyatt is a handsome fellow - talll and lean - well maybe a little too lean! Wyatt has apparently seen some pretty tough times, been on the road for quite some time and he really needs to fatten up a bit. :) He will definitely appreciate some good home cooked meals! :) Wyatt is at the vets office now - getting checked out, being neutered and getting all ready to meet his forever family. He is just very anxious to get on with the task of finding a good home - a good home forever now. No more of this wandering for him, no sireee! Wyatt is a sweet guy and he will definitely make a loyal and true family companion. He is a blank slate. He knows very little in the way of manners and social graces. He will have to learn how to walk properly on a leash, how not to jump all over someone and how to behave like a gentleman. Training is required for adoption and Wyatt is ready and will make an apt pupil. He is all set to make you proud and show you just how it is to be done. :) Ask to meet him is waiting. Wyatt, the handsome one with the nice smile! ADOPTED 5/3/10! Sex: Male Good With Kids: 12 and Older DESCRIPTION: Meet Wilson, our new "party boy"! He is a little on the wild and crazy side - picture this cute guy with a lampshade on his head, doing the limbo and having a great time! Whew! He does so need training! :) Wilson, however, was well loved at the shelter and they pronounced him "workable". :) He loves his toys, has strong focus, and will most definitely need a strong handler and someone with breed experience. He is very, very smart and quick and high energy. Once you introduce yourself, Wilson is a very friendly boy, he will gladly invite you to play ball, take a walk or play some chess - he is, however, always looking to take the upper hand, so be prepared - this boy is smarter than you are! Training - a committed training program with a good trainer and in a social setting is an absolute requirement for this boy. Training will make everyone a happy camper here - dog and people. Wilson would make a fantastic agility dog! He would love and absolutely thrive in an active household with a strong leader. He is young, and smart and will make an awesome and loyal companion and pet. It will require patience, love and dedication on the part of his owner. If you believe that you are all that you can be for this special boy, please arrange to meet him. He really could use a foster home to show him the ropes before he goes to that perfect home we know is waiting for him out there. Ask for Wilson - and come shake his paw. Update: Wilson is fine with big dogs but plays a little to rough for the little ones. Wilson is living with a cat, he may chase one at first but is okay with him now. He enjoys car rides and loves to play chase with canine companions and is learning to fetch. We've also discovered that he is house broken and crate trained. Adopted 5/01/2010!!! Sex: Male
DESCRIPTION: Luca is big and handsome, young, carefree and a little bit of a wild child! :) He was surrendered to the shelter because his family was moving and it is very apparent that they spent little if any time with him teaching him how to behave like a good dog should behave. Luca is friendly - friendly with everyone, but does need to be taught the ABC's of Doggy Good Manners. He needs to learn how to greet a friend without jumping up and knocking them over, how to behave in a home, how to walk on a leash, basic obedience, etc., etc......in short, he really needs training. This is a young, beautiful dog and will make the right people a great and loyal companion. He needs an experienced handler - someone or a family that is experienced with the breed. Will he be work? Absolutely! :) Will he be worth it? Oh yes, definitely! Training is a requisite to our adoption process. It not only makes for a nicer pet and a happy owner, it solidifies the bond between the dog and his people and everyone becomes a winner. Luca is now residing at the vet's - having his vaccines updated, being neutered, and in short being made ready to meet his forever family very soon. If you feel that you can give this dog his forever and ever home, please contact us. He will be ready to meet you soon. adopted 4/30/2010! Sex: Male Good With Kids: No DESCRIPTION: Well here is a big, beautiful boy with a checkered past.....He has been around, he has! ;) He has been gven up a time or two, obviously has been trained somewhat and just full of himself! This guy is a trip! It is obvious that he was given some basic training somewhere along the line, but he did choose to forget it - or he chooses to remember some commands when he feels like it. He is loud, mouthy, can be nippy, and will want to take control. He does listen to a good, strong handler and will obey, but will take advantage of any opportunity to have his own way very quickly. His most recent owners said he ate the couch - so he does have a good appetite :) Apparently he needs someone to take the alpha position and let this wiseguy know that this kind of behavior is unacceptable. Santana is going to need a very committed and breed knowledgeable owner/handler. He is very, very intelligent - and a typical young Shepherd that has been allowed to get away with way too much way too often. He will need to be in an approved training program for at least 6 months if not longer. He will absolutely love it! This boy would love a job and training will give him the stability and confidence he will need in order to place his trust in his person. Will Santana be work? Yes, absolutely! He probably will try your patience every minute of the day for a while, but, oh, he is worth it! This is the type of dog that will give back ten-fold....in loyalty and love. Santana is waiting to meet you. Do you have what it takes to help this dog fulfill his potential and be a well trained and acceptable member of society? :) Please contact us if you have what it takes. Santana is waiting. Adopted 4/29/2010!! Sex: Male DESCRIPTION: Jedi is a friendly, energetic, young and goofy pup! He has been reported as being very clean in his kennel, so that he may already be housebroken - or if not at least he is familiar with not soiling his living space. He is only a pup - and so will need to learn some manners and how to walk properly on a leash and so forth. He is a bouncy, happy, smart, typical young boy, and very eager to please. Jedi was transported in close proximity with 2 other dogs and did very well. He would very likely fit into any kind of family environment - with or without another dog for companionship. Very small children may not be a good choice because of his young age and exuberance, but kids older than toddlers should be fine. He will need training - big time, but he will be worth all the effort you put into him. He is a cutie and is all set and waiting right now to meet his future family. Ask to meet this awesome young "knight". :) Jedi! ADOPTED 4/28/10! Sex: Male DESCRIPTION: Meet Lil' Jimmy! Jimmy is your typical friendly, bouncy, playful, unschooled and loving puppy! He needs to learn just about everything that there is to learn in this world about being an acceptable member of canine and human society! Lil' Jimmy is very cute - :) He will become Big Jimmy in no time at all. Jimmy, as all puppies will need patience, love and training. A puppy is a blank slate and becomes what you put into him. Jimmy is now in his foster home and is living with other dogs and doing well. His foster will update soon. Adopted 4/25/2010!!! Sex: Female DESCRIPTION: Khelah's whole world has turned upside down! Her family has split up and she found herself without any one to care for her properly. She is now looking for a good home. A home that will last forever and she will never have to move again! That's the way it should be, right? Khelah, is a nice settled adult lady, she is used to living with a family. She is housebroken - not sure how much time she spent inside or outside these days, though. She is listed as familiar and good with children and has lived with cats....not saying if she was happy about that, but she did live with them......whether they were inside or outside cats is not known. Khelah is persnickity about her doggy friends and needs to have a proper introduction before she will accept them as her pals, but all in all, this is a nice girl. She just needs some TLC in the love and training department - and a bit of patience. After all, she has been though some upsets. Training is a requirement for adoption and Khelah will need this to bond to her new family. It will be useful to brush up on any obedience skills she has that have become rusty, or it will serve to have her learn them - or more! In any case, a well trained dog makes for a happy owner - and an equally happy dog. :) Please give this girl another chance. Khelah is all ready and waiting to meet her new family. She would love a foster home while she is waiting. If you believe that you can give this girl the home, the love and stability that she needs, please contact us to arrange a meeting. Come on by and shake her paw! ADOPTED 4/23/2010 Sex: Male Pharaoh passed over the rainbow bridge with Leigh by his side on the evening of Friday, 23 April. Despite modern medicine and technology, Pharaoh was unable maintain a good quality of life. Many combinations of medications were tried as well as an MRI and a CSF tap to rule out the possibility that brain disease could be causing his seizures. All of his tests came back normal. His seizure disorder was very severe and after several appointments and conversations with his neurologist and primary vet, everyone agreed it was time to set Pharaoh free. DESCRIPTION: Pharaoh has been returned to us because his family could no longer keep him. He is adjusting to this new bend in the road and the changes in his life very nicely, thank you, with a nice big fur foster family and his new foster parents. At just about one year, even though physically he is quite large, he is still a puppy and has many goofy puppy characteristics. :) He is lovable and annoying all at the same time - a typical young dog! He is vocal (he will "talk" to you and has a great singing voice) :), he has an outgoing personality; loves his toys and could play and play all day! Pharaoh is a big handsome boy! He will need a breed knowledgeable handler and a family who will commit to an extensive training program with him to not only effectively train him to become obedient and a wonderful family member, but to socialize him not only with people, but with other dogs as well. A well trained dog is a happy dog - and a happy well trained, well rounded and well balanced dog makes for a happy family all around! :) An active family that would include him in all their trips and hikes and games, would be terrific! Pharaoh is waiting to make your acquaintance and tell you all about himself. If you would like to meet Pharaoh, please contact us. Adopted: 4/21/10! Sex: Female Good With Kids: Not yet
DESCRIPTION: We would like to introduce Ms. Diamond. She is beautiful, longish hair, smart, and very, very full of herself! On the thin side, she will need some good, nutritious food and definitely a bath. She is completely without manners and just a tad on the wild party going fun side. ) This girl is ready to rock and roll!:) Diamond has typical behavior indicative of a puppy that has never had an ounce of training, had little socialization, and is sorely in need of a breed knowledgeable owner/handler. Diamond will need a definite commitment to a training program She is definitely a Diamond in the rough, but she is very friendly and loves people. Is she mouthy? Yessiree!. Jumping up on you? Oh yes! And ready to take control if she can get away with it. She simply needs someone to take the time to work with her to bring her to her full potential - and help her become the wonderful dog we know she is! It is very obvious that her previous owners did not train - take her to train - or even attempt to train her. She was let loose and left to run free. Sounds good, but it is definitely not! Can you help Diamond shine and sparkle? Can you give her the kind of home with love and consistency, structure and training that she needs? If you believe that you can offer her the home she does deserve, please contact us and arrange to meet her. adopted 4/18/2010!! Sex: Male DESCRIPTION: Batman is beautiful and very large! :) He is also a totally calm, laid back and very friendly boy! He apparently has lost his way and needs to find a way back to Gotham City! :) - And maybe Robin, too! This is a gorgeous dog and would very much benefit from a family. He is past the puppy stages, he is calm and not at all nutsy! He is a large boy, and babies and toddlers may be inadvertently knocked over, but older children should be fine. Batman will need some training and he will be an easy learner and a quick study. This is a requirement as part of out adoption process - and we want him to be able to bond with his new owners and become a happy and well trained dog and family member - as well as to be on the lookout for crime in Gotham! If you feel that you will be able to give Batman a loving and forever home, please contact us to arrange to meet him. Update: It's Batman here... Boy today I got to spend the day out of the kennel .... went to this fancy place call a spa and was King for a day.. I got the Royal treatment thanks to my special friend Sharon, a MAGSR volunteer! I got a bubble bath!! After all the fuss over me in the bath.. This nice lady gave me a mani and pedi.. I thought that stuff was just for girls but I have to admit... It was pretty relaxing.. They kept telling me I was such a good boy.. I didnt mind the pampering at all.. I was hoping if I was a really good boy they might want to keep me there.. After a wonderful day of pampering I was headed back to the kennel but my new friends gave me hugs and kisses and told me that there is a wonderful family waiting to meet me.. Could that be you? I am a good boy.. I ride very well in the car and I dont mind being pampered at the spa.. I walk really well on a leash and just want to spend my days hanging out with a real family...

DESCRIPTION: Rainey is a sweet young thing - lost her way and is now looking to find a permanent place to call home. She is a beauty! She is friendly and playful and very eager to please. Rainey loves to play ball and would most likely do well in a home that is moderately active - as long as she can go with her people from time to time. She will probably do well with older children right now as with her youthful energy and lack of training, toddlers and very small children could inadvertently be knocked down. This is a dog that you will take everywhere! She will be a joy and a wonderful addition to any family! Rainey is smart and quick and will make a wonderful and loyal companion for her people. She will require training - and this is a requirement for adoption - a committed training program in a social setting with other dogs and their handlers would be optimal for this very intelligent young lady. She is waiting to invite herself to breakfast now! :) A foster home would be fantastic! If you would like to meet this exceptional young dog, please contact us to make arrangements. ADOPTED 4/15/2010!! Sex: Male Good With Kids: Older DESCRIPTION: Kip was returned to us because he could not get along with his family's farm animals. Kip is a nice, friendly guy and ready to move on. Right now although understandably upset at the circumstances of his removal from his home, he will adapt. He is a smart boy! ;) Kip is crate trained and housebroken and listens well; he has nice leash manners and is very eager to please. A committed training program with his new family is required. This will not only help the transition, it will serve to bond him to his new family and new environment. Please ask to meet Kip. He is very anxious to put his past behind him and find a new and loving family to be his forever. A foster home to help him smooth out any bumps before he moves on to a forever home would be awesome! Ask to meet him today! Adopted 4/11/2010!!! DESCRIPTION: Brooke is a beautiful, headstrong young lady that was returned to the shelter because "she kept running off the property". No fence. Allowed to run free. So, now, who's fault is this? Not only that she has had no training. None! Zero! Zilch! Nada! She is a wonderful free spirit - fun loving and friendly; energetic and bubbly.:) She is personality plus - BUT with no training she is a handful. Training is a requirement for adoption with MAGSR - and for good reason. It helps the bond between the dog and the owners, it helps the dog place it's trust in the owners hands, gives the dog confidence and the structure it needs, gives the owners a well trained companion, and makes for a happy home all around. Training is also an invaluable tool for the owners - no matter how much you think you know about dogs and training - you don't....and you will learn along with your dog. Brooke is a super friendly young girl and she will make someone a wonderful and loyal companion. She is waiting now to interview for the position of "Top Dog" in your home. Please contact us to arrange to meet her. Adopted 4/11/2010!!! Sex: Female Obedience Trained: No Good With Kids: Not at this time DESCRIPTION: Austin has had a very violent short life up to this point. She was not treated very well by her former owner at all. She is understandably somewhat hesitant in new situations, but warms up quickly to a friendly voice and a gentle hand. She seems to crave attention, but again is a little timid about it at first. Austin is a beautiful puppy. She is young and her spirit is not broken. She will find that perfect home and we have assured her that she will always be treated kindly and with respect from now on. Austin has two legs that are slightly injured - a little sore - from the indignities she has suffered. Sometimes she holds one paw up off the ground and sometimes she will have a very slight limp. We have had her checked out, and have been assured that eventually she should be ok....may have a slight limp for sometime, but her legs are fine.....and so is she. Once she is comfortable, you will find that Austin is a high energy girl that wants to go and go! She is a definite menace to cats and small furry animals, so kitties, bunnies, ferrets and small fluffy doggies would not be a good idea as housemates. Austin will need formal training and a home with an owner who is experienced with the breed and can commit to a training program with this very intelligent young dog. This is a must. Austin is waiting now - she would love a no kitty foster home while she is waiting! :) Austin will most likely not be with us long. Please contact us to meet her.
UPDATE: Hi folks, Austin here, hangin' out at the kennel waiting patiently for my furever family to come and get me. Is that you? I'll tell you a little about myself, and you can tell me about you when you come to meet me. I am a young lady, still learning, sometimes pressing my boundries. I am beautiful and use it to my advantage. I have very good leash manners and could always use more training to secure our bond. I am house broken and go potty where I'm supposed to. Am not a dog park kinda gal. I need proper introductions, I would thank you very much. I love humans, not really the small kind, they get in my way, nor the felines, they look scrumptious. I would love a nice warm bed or to hang out by the fire place and catch a good movie, or catch up on my soaps. I'm not a large girl, just right size if you please. My friends here tell me I'm a very good girl and would make a fantastic addition to your family. I'm waiting....
Adopted 4/11/2010!!! Sex: Male DESCRIPTION: Nitro is a very handsome boy who has not had much luck with his former family and now is looking for a loving and permanent relationship. Nitro is big. He is strong. He has had little formal training, but is willing and eager to learn. Nitro is so happy to be around people - he wants a home very badly. The right home this time. He will need a serious commitment to training and he will need a breed knowledgeable and strong handler. This boy is smarter than you are! ;) He is much, much more than a pretty face. A family with small children is not recommended for Nitro. He will knock them over, may inadvertently injure, and besides, very small children make him nervous. A family with older kids and a pretty active lifestyle would be ideal for him. He would love to go where you go...Hiking, camping, swimming, etc.....not sure about skiing though! ;) This is a "forever" dog. He is the German Shepherd of your dreams -- handsome, loyal, smart, and young enough to be a great companion, old enough to know where to "go". :) All he needs is training, love, patience, structure, consistency -- and he is golden! Nitro is ready to interview you for a home. Will you pass muster? Contact us to arrange a meeting. ADopted 4/11/2010!!! Sex: Male
DESCRIPTION: Hi! Bentlee here! I am looking for a place to live - like forever. I don't mean just any place - I do have my requirements. ;) I want the perfect family, please. My other family could no longer take care of me - they did have their own problems...I think that they had to find a smaller place to live and I just was not in the picture. The last few months have been sort of hard on everyone and I will need some stability, patience, and lots and lots of training to learn how to be a "nice dog", a "good boy" and all that stuff. I lived most of my life (about 7 months I think - I really can't remember the real early parts), - I lived most of my life outdoors. I have to learn "housebreaking" what ever that is. I do not think it means to learn how to break in....I think it means how to "go" outside. Confusing, isn't it? I am a very nice boy - if I must say so. :) I love people! I love to give slurpy kisses and I love to go for walks - er - that's another thing - I also love to chew leashes. :D I guess you would say I have to learn just about everything that there is to learn! Yup! But I am willing to give it a try if you are. I have lived with cats and goats and people, so I guess I could live just about anywhere. Can you come and see me and see if you could take me home and live with you forever? I am at this place where they fix things...I think it is a vet's office...I didn't know I was broken, but they sure did something - I can't quite figure it out yet, tho. :) I will be all ready to meet anybody very soon. Please ask the humans of MAGSR to help you to meet me. Bentlee - I am Bentlee. Description: Bentlee is being returned because his family realized that this was not the right time in their lives to get a large, young dog and they simply could not devote the proper time to train him as he should be trained. There is nothing at all wrong with Bentlee. He is still a very wonderful young dog. He had started a training program with an excellent trainer and it may be possible for his new family to continue this with the very same trainer. We will inform his new adopters of this and make available any information that they may need. Bentlee has been living in a home with young children and he does enjoy being part of a family. He is in his foster home and waiting for the right family to come along. Bentlee is an exceptional GSD; in looks and in temperament. Ask to see him. You will not be disappointed. ADOPTED 4/10/2010! Sex: Male DESCRIPTION: This is not a good time of year to be homeless - even for a dog! Preacher was down on his luck and is definitely looking for a permanent home now. He is a big boy, quite a handsome fellow and has the carriage and the typical somewhat reserved presence of the majestic German Shepherd. He has fallen on hard times and would love to have a nice warm home for the new year. Preacher knows some commands and loves to go for walks. All in all, Preacher is a pretty nice boy. He does have a tendency to be a little mouthy and pushy and will need a breed experienced owner/handler. He will definitely need to be signed up for a training regimen - no question. This is a boy that will truly benefit from going to training - as will his owner. :) At this time we would recommend a home with no or older children because of his size and his need for training. Preacher is smart and he is good looking and will do well with training. If you have experience with the breed and believe that Preacher could find his perfect family home with you, please contact us to arrange a meeting. ADOPTED 4/09/2010! Good With Kids: Yes!

DESCRIPTION: Jasmine is a little sweetheart! She was originally found in a park and taken in by a well meaning person; however, it just did not work out as other family members were dead set against having a puppy. She was given to a friend who contacted MAGSR and here she is! As sweet as can be, friendly, wiggly, bouncy and typical puppy - she is just waiting for her forever permanent home. Jasmine is friendly - will get along with anyone and anything. She will be right at home with children and other pets. Jasmine will require lots and lots of patience and love, and a fair amount of old newspapers! ;) And, of course, she will need training - and this is important - This puppy is a blank slate - what you put into it is what you will get in return. Please do your research before you apply. Jasmine - as will any puppy - will need your patience and your love. She will try your patience no end - and you will spend much more $$ than you ever intended to spend on a dog, you will have things chewed, peed and pooped on and occasionally strange things swallowed - and you will be ready to throw your hands up in the air - many times! But is it worth it? Oh, absolutely! :) She will love you unconditionally, be the best friend your children ever had and never, ever say you look fat! :) If you believe that you can be a part of Jasmine's life for the rest of her life; if you believe that you have what it takes to keep her forever, please contact us and arrange to meet her. adopted 4/8/2010!

She is super friendly and loving and comes to us from our friends in Puerto Rico via All Satos Rescue. She was found abandoned and taken in by her foster until she could find a way to a better life. Canela means cinnamon in Spanish; and Canela is truly cinnamon colored.! She is very unusual in looks and resembles a fox! :) This little girl will become your best buddy very, very quickly. She is very loving and loves to cuddle. Canela will need training, this is a requirement for adoption. She is eager to please and learn so training will be a fun experience for everyone. She should be a very apt and able pupil because it is very likely that she is bi-lingual! :) Canela is improving her command of the English language and enjoying life in her foster home. She would love to meet you! If you think that you can give Canela her well deserved permanent home, please contact us to arrange a meeting. Update: Canela is enjoying her new citizenship here in Maryland. The comfort of a warm bed, great food and Adopted 04-03-10! Sex: Male Good With Kids: Unknown DESCRIPTION: Handsome and debonair Ruger is new to us and looking to find himself a permanent loving home. Ruger is young, totally untrained, and very, very vocal...and in fine form! :). Many German Shepherds like to vocalize - some are actually quite talented and have many, many songs in their repertoire. :) Ruger sings in German most likely, and quite often breaks into song! :) We think he is just wonderful! Ruger is a big boy, he has a lot of potential and is eager to follow direction. He was not in a home with children, so they would be an unknown for him. He was nonreactive to the cats at the shelter, but again this is not a surefire guarantee that he would live happily with cats. He does need a strong and committed handler and, or course, training - that is quite apparent. Both the dog and his people benefit directly from training - it is a wonderful way to socialize your dog - and yourself - and it is a wonderful way to have quality time with the dog....it is a bonding experience and it is invaluable. Ruger will impress you with his size and his presence. This dog is exceptional. We at MAGSR would want him to go to a perfect for him home - nothing less. Ruger is at the vet's office right now having his neuter and updating his vaccines. He should be available very soon. If you feel you can give Ruger the home and the life he deserves from now on, please contact us. Update: Ruger has made his way to the kennel and is eagerly awaiting his furever home. Ruger is doing quite well with his leash manners. He pulls a little in the begining but is right back at your side with a slight correction. Ruger knows sit, stay, and down. He enjoys exercise and is great on long walks and would be an excellent jogging partner. Ruger is quite the talker and is an all around good boy that is very social with people. Ruger will bond quickly with his new family and will excel with formal training. Ruger did very well being brushed this weekend and even seemed to really enjoy the pampering. At this time we are still unsure of how he would do with young children. Contact us if you think you can give Ruger his forever home.
