Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Shelby came to us from a shelter with no prior information. She is quite confused with the changes and is somewhat scared. Our volunteers are working on helping her settle in and adjust.

She is reported as being good with other dogs.

Shelby will need a family who will help her adjust to her new life, give her guidance and consistency.

Grizzly is the son of Apache and the brother to Keena.  Grizzly does best with another dog as they help him relax.  He is somewhat shy, he will require someone with patience and who will work on helping him build his confidence.  Training will go along way and certainly help with him getting use to being on a leash.  He is a sweet boy just a little unsure, it is obvious he was not well socialized, but with your help he should blossom.

Diesel is a very handsome, friendly young boy who was surrendered as his person fell on hard times.  He was very much loved and is greatly missed by his former person.  He is playful, full of young energy and enjoys to swim.  He has some manners to learn, but nothing that a good training program can't help with.  

Cagney landed in a shelter as a stray and no one came looking for her. She has done well with other dogs she has met and has been friendly with people she has met. She is a petite young girl who needs to gain a little weight. Training will go a long way for Cagney, as it does for all of our dogs. It is important that a bond is created between the dog and their handler/family. It helps you both learn more about each other and teaches good canine manners.

Angie was adopted in 2013 and recently returned after her family could no longer provide for her. She’s confident, friendly and outgoing.
Though she is currently overweight due to a thyroid condition, we are working on slimming her down. She has an interest in playing ball but does not have a lot of stamina at this time. But we’re confident this will change. She likes to go for leisurely walks and heels well on leash. She also likes to ride in the vehicle and does so very quietly.
She’s had some obedience training and knows German commands. Once she gets to know you, she loves to give kisses.
Because of her hypothyroid condition (low thyroid), she is on medication and will be for the rest of her life. This will require periodic bloodwork to check her response to the medication. The cost of her medication is very reasonable and is administered via a very small pill given twice daily with her food. This is a condition that is typically very simple to treat and regulate.

Right now, we are re-familiarizing ourselves with her and will update you as we learn more about her. But at this time, she will only be placed in an adult home with no other dogs or cats.

Jackie is a beautiful 1 1/2 yr old female GSD.  She was surrendered to us as the other dog in the house would not accept her.  In her best interest the family reached out to us so that Jackie could find a new home and family.  She lived with children in her prior home and enjoyed playing with them.  Jackie is somewhat timid and will take time to become comfortable with her new family and surroundings.  She likes to take things slowly and seems to bond quicker with women then she does men.  The family that surrendered her to us rescued her after she was dumped in their yard late at night, so we have no history as to what happened to her prior to the last few weeks.  She loves hotdogs which quickly will win her over when she is feeling overwhelmed.  She just arrived in our care so she is still getting use to her new living arrangements and foster.  

Saphire came to us from a shelter with no known history.

She is a beautiful young friendly girl. She does know some basic commands, walks well on a leash and enjoys time with people.

Saphire does need to lose some weight, with proper diet and exercise this will be achieved.

Nero came to us with his sister Ebony.  We do not have any history on them.  Nero is a friendly, playful boy who gets along well with other dogs.  He enjoys being snuggled by his family. He is a puppy and will require patients, guidance, training, ongoing socialization with people and other dogs.  

Jazmine is a such nice girl, she enjoys time with her people and other dogs.  She needs work on her leash manners but with training that will come quickly.  Up for a game of fetch, Jazmine is your girl.  

Sam was adopted from a shelter, his new family took him for board and train but never came back for him. He ended up back in the shelter looking for another chance.

He is young, playful and full of energy. He would benefit from training, guidance and lots of exercise.

Ebony came to us with her brother Nero.  We do not have any history on them.  Ebony is somewhat scared with all of the changes in her life.  She gets along well with other dogs.  She is a puppy and will require patients, guidance, training, ongoing socialization with people and other dogs.   Helping build her confidence will go a long way.

Chet was picked up as a stray in MD.  He waited at the shelter for his family but no one came to claim him. Chet has put that sad life behind him and is now ready for his forever family- one who will never abandon him.

Sadie came to us as an owner surrender due to changes in the families living situation.  She is a young energetic girl who will need an active family to keep her busy.  Training will help Sadie learn good manners and proper leash skills.  She enjoys the water and playing with other dogs.

Jeremy came to us from a shelter so we have no past history.  He is a friendly boy, he enjoys being brushed, going for walks and hanging out with his person.  When walking or by his persons side he likes to lean in, staying close.

Foxy landed herself in a shelter after her family would not care for her or comply with animal control.  She waited at the Animal Shelter for a month, hoping her former owners would fix their fence and bring her home, but they never did. Foxy is an energetic friendly little girl whose enthusiasm for walks and play makes her seem much younger than five. Sweet Foxy is ready for a forever home that will give her lots of walks and belly rubs. Foxy needs a patient owner as she is understandably anxious and will need someone to set calm boundaries for her, her while she settles into home life again.

Foxy loves meeting new people. She has been wonderful with children and responded to a child stepping on her paw by crying and showing her belly. She was clearly housebroken, but after such a long time in a kennel she should stay on a leash or crate inside, until she develops a routine of going outside. Foxy knows basic commands and rides nicely in a car. She is working on not pulling on a leash, but is not too hard to walk because she pays attention her handler.  Foxy is pushy, barky, and very forward with other dogs. She is very frightened if a dog approached her while she is crated. Foxy will need to work on socialization with dogs as she greets other dogs by jumping on them. Foxy could live with another dog who does not want to dominate her and enjoys energetic play. Taking her to obedience class outside would be ideal, so she can learn to listen around other dogs, while having some space. Foxy is good in her foster house. She hasn’t chewed anything inappropriate and doesn’t mess with food on the counter or bother the trash. She is learning to stay off the couch and would certainly try to join her new owner in bed for a cuddle, if not instructed otherwise.

Foxy would be a great fit for someone who lives in an urban/suburban setting. She would be fine in an apartment. Foxy needs to be on a leash at all times outside; she has jumped a four-foot fence, for fun, and is clearly willing to dig a tunnel if bored.  Foxy is going to be someone’s shadow and very best friend.  If Foxy sounds like a good fit for your family, please ask to meet her.

Apache is a beautiful Black and Tan bi-color female Shepherd.  She is the mother to Grizzly and Keena.

She is a friendly, loving girl who rolls over belly rubs any chance she gets.  She needs some work on his leash skills and of course training to teach her good K-9 manners.  We have no prior history on her so we do not know how she is with children or cats.

​Cash was surrendered to a shelter as the child in the home was highly allergic to him. He is such a wonderful boy, easy to handle and has leash manners. He would love to be in a home with a loving family.​

Maya found herself at a shelter for reasons unknown.  She now has another chance at a better life.  She is very sweet and laid back.  She has good manners and walks nicely on a leash.  

Desiree made her way to us from a shelter so we have no history on her. She is a gorgeous black long hair GSD.

While in our care she has met children, covering them in kisses.

She does have energy and can be jumpy but settles down nicely.

Khloe was in a shelter hoping someone would give her a second chance at life.  That we did, but we are only the first step on her journey, a new family will complete that journey.  She is emaciated, but has been putting on weight with the help of good nutrition and regular meals.  She is a nice girl who just needs someone that will care for and love her.  Could that be you?
