Riley was surrenderedto us after her family could not longer provide for her. Initially, she was very concerned and anxious about what had happened to the world she used to know. But with time and patience, she has settled in to her new routine at the kennel and has become much better. She's bonded very well to two volunteers in particular and loves to please them.
She is extremely intelligent and loves to learn new things as we attempt to keep her mind stimulated. She appears to be very social with other dogs and we are working on learning about her in that regard. She loves to go on car rides, play ball and can be playful and slightly vocal when in play mode.
Riley lived with children and cats in her previous home. However, just because she grew up with children and cats from puppyhood, this does not guarantee that she will peacefully coexist with every child and/or cat she meets that are new to her. We will not place her in a home with children unless she appears to be completely comfortable with them.
In addition, because of hervery fearful behavior after being surrendered to us, her introductions to new people needs to be taken slowly as she seems to be wary of those she doesn't know. If you are interested in her, please be aware that your introduction may take place over more than one visit with her to help build a relationship with her. She had a difficult time with change but we are committed to helping her get to her forever home and this is a process that may take time.
She will require an experienced handler who understands the undesirable behaviors that fearful dogs can exhibit and how to deal with those behaviors should she be put into a situation that is anything less than completely comfortable for her.
We will continue to update you as we learn more about her.

Duncan is a handsome young GSD mix.  He has had no training and is full of puppy energy.  He adores people, sharing snuggles and puppy kisses.  He will require training and guidance so that he understands what is expected of him which will help he be a well behaved family member.  Duncan will be a great running or hiking partner, which in turn will help burn some of his energy.
 

Hudson was found as stray with a wound on his abdomen.  He received immediate medical care and the wound is just about completely healed.  Hudson may be 5 years old but he has the energy of much younger dog.  A family that enjoys going for long walks, lots of playtime and of course training would be a good match for Hudson.  

This handsome boy is amazing and ever so sweet.  

John Boy was found as a stray and taken to a shelter.  This wonderful boy is scared but so friendly.  He warms up quickly and he's affectionate with everyone he meets.  John Boy will lean into his human and rest his head in his human's lap - he just needs to know what it is to have a family who cares for him and loves him.  John Boy's tail wags light up a room. John Boy needs to learn and get comfortable on a leash, but he's a smart boy.  

Now that John Boy has a warm and loving foster home, he has the opportunity to shine. Currently living with both kids and dogs, John Boy is adjusting well.  If John Boy sounds like the right dog for your household, please ask about him today.

Oso a very handsome, big boy weighing in at 105 lbs.  Although he is large, he is a gentle giant.  Oso's favorite activity is to play with balls, the more balls the better, yes even soccer and basketball size balls.  It is imperative that all dogs go through obedience training and Oso is not exception.  With a dog of this size you want to have good manners, this will make walking him on a leash much more enjoyable. 

Unfortunately Oso was returned to us.  Family members moved into his home, after he had lived there over a year, with small dogs that Oso did not get along with, so he got the boot.  He was fine with the neighbors female GSD.  He came back to us over weight so he has been put on diet, that along with exercise he should be down a good weight in no time.  

Radar was surrendered as he lived on a free range farm and was not doing well with the farm animals.  He is a very handsome plush coat GSD.  In his previous home he was reported to be good with cats but we have not cat tested him.  He is a loving, friendly boy, he will require training in order to be a well behaved canine and family member.  Ask this meet this handsome boy.

Ben, along with his brother Jerry, were surrendered to a shelter as their person has Alzheimer's and was no longer able to care for them.  They were very much loved. 

The brothers are so chill, they take everything in stride.  They are such sweet boys, so full of love to give to another family.  Ben and Jerry are very bonded, they would really do best remaining together.  If you are looking for dogs that just enjoy hanging out, going for leisurely walks, being by your side as you read a book then Ben and Jerry are your boys.  If you have room in your heart and home for the twins please ask to meet them.

Handsome Prince came to MAGSR from a very sad situation.  Prince previously lived in a hoarding situation with 14 other dogs.  Prince was underfed and used for breeding.  Because of all that Prince has endured, he is confused and just needs to learn to trust and know he'll be well taken care of.  Now that MAGSR has Prince, we hope he will quickly adjust and learn that he will receive regular meals, attention, and proper socialization. Prince is a outgoing and very friendly boy.  If Prince sounds like the right dog for your household, please ask about him today.

Care for these hoarding rescues is putting a severe strain on MAGSR's resources. Donations towards their treatment would be greatly appreciated, this would also help us save other dogs with medical needs.

Sweet Dorma came to MAGSR very emaciated and from a very sad situation.  This little girl previously lived in a hoarding situation with 14 other dogs where some would lose out on getting food, which we think is what happened to Dorma because she is skin and bones.  She was very underfed and used for breeding.  Because of all that Dorma has endured, she is very confused and just needs to learn to trust and know she'll be well taken care of.  Now that MAGSR has Dorma, we hope she will quickly adjust and learn that she will receive regular meals, attention, and proper socialization. If Dorma sounds like the right dog for your household, please ask about her today.

Sadly Rocky's person passed away, leaving him to find another family and home.  In his previous home he happily lived with 3 Poms.  He also did well with visiting grandchildren.  He is a great boy, albeit somewhat confused after losing everything he knew.  He is currently in a foster home, living with a cat.  We are waiting for updates on his behavior with cats, once settled in he will be properly introduced to his feline housemate.  Rocky needs some work on his leash manners as he is very strong and pulls hard while being walked.  This is easily corrected with proper training.  He is housebroken and crate trained.

Mia was adopted from our rescue when she was just a puppy in 2014.  Sadly, through no fault of her own, her adopter returned her to MAGSR.  As you can imagine, Mia’s world as she knew it has been turned upside down.  She is currently in a loving foster home with her foster family helping her with the adjustment. Mia’s foster reports that Mia is adjusting nicely to her foster family and resident dog, is calm and loves the kids.  Mia is crate trained, walks well on a leash and knows her basic commands.  If a laid back dog is what your family is looking for, please ask to meet Mia.

Mica has not had a good life up to this point.  She spent all of her time in a crate, most likely having never been outside.  She has no idea what a leash is which can make her uneasy.  She enjoys human companionship but can become overwhelmed.  Mica is a blank slate, she has so much to learn about people and the world.  She will need someone with patience to help her build her confidence and to introduce her to the world.  She is underweight but with regular, nutritious meals she will be in tiptop shape in no time.  Mica deserves the chance to know love,  proper care and to just be a puppy....won't  you give her that?

Jake was found as a stray and taken to a shelter.  His microchip led the shelter to his family but sadly they did not bother to pick him up.  Their loss as Jake is a wonderful boy.  He is a German Shepherd mix, mixed with a lot of love and sweetness.  He is very good with other dogs, both large and small.  He is easy and laid back and enjoys human companionship.  Ask to meet this sweet boy.

Jazzmin is a beautiful black and red female GSD. She is good with both male and female dogs. She is a friendly girl who just lacks in manners. Training will help her learn proper manners which results in a well behaved dog. It has been noted that Jazzmin can become mouthy when she gets overly excited, this behavior needs to be corrected. For this reason we will not place Jazzmin in a home with a small children.

Zoey came to us with her mate Zeus, they are a bonded pair and we are hoping that a family has enough room in their hearts and homes for both of them.  They are a wonderful pair who enjoy each others company.  

They do require training which will help with their leash skills, it is obvious they have not been taught much.  

They have been friendly with all of those they have met.
