Description

Goofy and his siblings - Goose, Grace, and Ginger - were confiscated from a puppy mill operation. They are all emaciated and in need of positive interaction. The shelter that confiscated this little family knew that these dogs would need extra support in order to find their forever homes. When MAGSR got the call to take them in, we started putting plans in place to meet their needs.

Although they have survived a horrible situation, Goofy and his siblings are very loveable dogs. Definitely a little skittish, these dogs will excel with patience, leadership, and positive experiences. Goofy is a friendly guy who appreciates gentle but confident handling. He leans in for affection and has easily won over the hearts of our volunteers. We look forward to getting to know Goofy over the next few weeks. If he sounds like a good match for your family, ask to meet him. 

Updates:
Goofy has been in his foster home for about a month now and is adjusting well. He is also putting on some much-needed weight. He is an absolute sweetheart and craves attention from his people. He’s a happy chap whose tail is always wagging. His life is changing for the better and he seems to know it. Goofy is an energetic, clumsy, large boy who is going to get larger—so he would probably be better placed with older children. He’s been friendly with everyone he has met and gets along with other dogs. He enjoys playing with his foster siblings and will do well with a playmate in his size range. In the yard he seems to enjoy spending as much time getting attention from people as running and playing. He is still skittish around sudden movements and loud noises, however, he has become more comfortable in his surroundings. He is crate trained and sleeps well through the night. He will retreat to his crate for comfort if he’s nervous. He enjoys walks and doesn’t pull on the leash but will benefit from the bond he will form with his people through training. In an unfamiliar place or situation, he will rely on his person for reassurance. In his foster home, he is living with two smaller female dogs to whom he is submissive. At the vets and when being bathed he was nervous but behaved well. He isn’t sure what to do with toys yet. Goofy would love a family of his own for the holidays, could that be yours?!

Description

Lucy is one of Macy's survivor puppies. Just like her mom, Lucy is a survivor in more ways than one. She was one of the three puppies out of a litter of five that survived the dreaded parvo - Lu,Casey and Lacy - had the help of many people to arrive safely in MAGSR's care. This precious butterball will wiggle her way right into your heart in no time flat.

Although Lucy is an incredible girl, please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy antics and can be mischievous – they will whine, have accidents, get into things, and chew on inappropriate things. With time, patience, guidance, and training, Lucy will develop into the good canine citizen she is destined to become. If Lucy sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this adorable girl today.

Description

Loki's family loved him dearly; however, due to some unforeseen circumstances, they found themselves unable to provide him with the attention and care he deserves. As a result, Loki's family made the difficult decision to surrender him to MAGSR. We have promised Loki's family that we will find him a safe and loving household. 

Loki is a young and energetic shepherd. Friendly and still puppy-like, he is learning to look to the handler for direction. As is common with most shepherds, Loki thrives with structure and leadership. A household that can provide him with routine and direction will help him gain confidence and develop into a stable adult. Loki will benefit greatly from training; this will not only help him bond to his forever family but it will also help him become a good canine citizen. Although Loki has lived with other dogs, cats, and children, he will need time to adjust to his new circumstances. If Loki sounds like a good match for your household, ask to meet him today.

Sherman

Adopted: 12/12/2020!

Gender: Male

Breed: German Shepherd Dog

Approximate Age: 9 years

Color: Black and Tan

Current Size: 88 lbs

Ideal/Potential Size:

Housebroken: Yes

Obedience Trained: Unknown

Living with: Foster

History: Shelter

Good with Kids: Yes

Good with Cats: No

Other Dogs OK: Yes, with proper introduction

Description

Sherman was a stray who was brought into a local shelter. When no one came to claim this handsome guy, MAGSR decided to step in to help him find his forever home. Due to Sherman's circumstances, we don't have a lot of information regarding how he does in a household or how he interacts with kids or cats. However, we do know that Sherman is a strong, playful guy. He is a big fan of toys and will happily play with his people. Although he can be non-reactive around other dogs, he can be a little pushy when first meeting new dogs and will need to be given time to be introduced properly. Sherman is looking for a home that will help him further develop into the good canine citizen we know he can be. Please watch for updates as we get to know Sherman. 

Updates:
Sherman is housebroken and crate trained. He is learning leash manners and can be stubborn but once he knows that you are not giving up until he listens he settles down. Sherman loves attention, playing with toys, going for car rides and lying close to you. His fosters think he has lived in a house as he is not afraid of the vacuum or other loud house noises. Unfortunately, Sherman was not taught manners and still mouths when he plays and greets people; Sherman would do best with someone who has prior German Shepherd experience who will continue to work on his obedience and mouthing.

Zeva is a survivor. Owned by a hoarder in the south and used to breed puppies, Zeva's life had been filled with pain and suffering. However, when another rescue stepped up and removed Zeva and several other dogs from the premises, Zeva's life changed forever. Recognizing that Zeva would have her best chance at finding the forever home in the north, she was transferred to MAGSR. Although we are still getting to know Zeva, it is clear that even with all the suffering she has endured that she is a sweet dog. As is true of any dog, Zeva will thrive in a stable household that will provide her with love, guidance and leadership. As we have the opportunity to learn more about Zeva, we will post updates. If Zeva sounds like a fit for your household, ask to meet her today.

Sheldon

Adopted: 12/11/2020!

Gender: Male

Breed: German Shepherd Dog

Approximate Age: 7 years

Color: Black & Tan

Current Size: 55 lbs

Ideal/Potential Size: 65 lbs

Housebroken: Yes

Obedience Trained: Working on it

Living with: Foster

History: Stray to Shelter

Good with Kids: Older kids, over 16

Good with Cats: Unknown

Other Dogs OK: Yes, with proper introduction

Description

Sheldon came to us from a shelter as he was brought in as a stray. We do not know a lot about Sheldon's past but, we have gotten to know more about him while he has been in our care.  Clearly under socialized and possibly mistreated early on, Sheldon arrived lacking the confidence needed to meet with success. However, with leadership and structure, Sheldon has made great strides.

MAGSR was fortunate to be able to provide Sheldon with the opportunity to work with a trainer in order to develop his basic obedience while building his overall confidence. At this time Sheldon is an absolute dream when working through commands. However, when placed in new situations, Sheldon often will revert back to his fearful self. Continued structure and practice will help Sheldon recognize the importance of looking to the handler for direction. This will further enhance his overall confidence while developing into the good canine citizen he is destined to become.

Sheldon would be most successful in a family that has experience with an insecure dog. His forever family will need to continue his training and confidence building without putting him in unpredictable situations. As Sheldon is uncomfortable with quick movements or busy households, he would be most successful in a home without children.

If Sheldon sounds like a dog that would be a fit for your family and you have the time and patience to work him through some challenges, he will reward you with his loyalty, puppy kisses and tail wags.

Sheldon has been through a four-week basic obedience leave-and-learn class with Stateline Canine in Hanover, PA. His adoptive family will be able to set-up a lesson to go over all his commands.

Obedience Trained: Unknown

History: Surrender to Shelter

Good with Kids: Yes

Description

Raina is your typical young, energetic shepherd. In many ways she embodies the characteristics of most shepherds - curious, eager, and loyal. Raina has lived with a cat and interacted with small dogs prior to her arrival at MAGSR. She is very playful which could be a little much for the cat in her household. Affectionate and sweet, Raina has done well when meeting new people but can become a little too exuberant and get jumpy. Both crate trained and housebroken, Raina understands many of the household rules; however, as is true of any new dog, she will need time to adjust to the routines of a new household. Raina will benefit from a household that will provide her with the structure, leadership, and training that helps all dogs excel. If you feel like your household is a good match for Raina, please ask to meet her today!

Playful Nathan and his sisters - Nadia, Natalie, Nancy, and Nellie, were dropped off at a shelter when their owner could not afford their care.

Although Nathan is an absolute joy, please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy antics and can be mischievous – they will whine, have accidents, get into things, and chew on inappropriate things.

As is true of all other dogs, Zoe will be most successful when provided with structure and leadership. Training will help her further develop her confidence as well as bond with her new family.

Although Zoe is clearly a special girl, we have learned that she is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if her caretakers had kept her on monthly heartworm preventatives. Zoe has begun her heartworm treatment and is doing well. The cost of Zoe's entire treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Treatment is expensive, but Zoe is definitely worth the cost. Please donate toward Zoe's treatment, your generosity will help us save her and other dogs with medical needs. Although Zoe will need to take it slow over the next few months, she will be back to full strength once her treatment is finished. If your household is the right match for Zoe, please ask to meet her.

Description

Sweet Sandy was a stray who found her way to a local shelter. While she waited for a family to come and claim her, Sandy quickly won over the hearts of shelter staff. When no one came to get Sandy, MAGSR decided to step-in and help this happy-go-lucky girl find the perfect forever family. Although Sandy came into the shelter as a stray, she does know several commands and seems to be well socialized. Understanding that toys make everything more exciting, Sandy entertains herself with a variety of dog toys. When meeting other dogs, Sandy has done well. Sandy is looking for a forever family that will help her further develop into the good canine citizen that we know she is destined to be. If Sandy sounds like the right fit for your family, please ask to meet her today. 

Update: Sandy is very cuddly and loves to play, run, and loves attention.  When she has to go to the bathroom she goes to the door and sometimes will jump on the door to get your attention.  Sandy is still very much a puppy and she needs to be monitored so she does not get into trouble.  She does well with other dogs, but because she is still young she doesn’t always know when to stop.  Her fosters are working with her on crate training.

Sheena

Adopted: 12/03/2020!

Gender: Female

Breed: German Shepherd Dog

Approximate Age: 12 years

Color: Black & Tan

Current Size: 68 lbs

Ideal/Potential Size:

Housebroken: Yes

Obedience Trained: No

Living with: Foster

History: Owner Surrender

Good with Kids: Yes

Good with Cats: Unknown

Other Dogs OK: Yes

Description

Sheena is a survivor. This special and incredibly sweet girl was used for years as a breeding dog. It was evident when rescuers came in to get her that this lovely lady had endured great pain and hardship. Emaciated and chained outside, Sheena was simply being used for puppy production. 

Although Sheena is a victim of cruelty and neglect, this lovely lady has the sweetest disposition. She is an incredible companion and has been friendly with everyone she has met. Our volunteers are simply in awe of her strength and resilience. Now that Sheena has joined the MAGSR family, she is experiencing kindness and love. Sheena is learning the rules of a household, basic commands, and the joy of a comfortable bed. At this time, Sheena is waiting patiently for a forever home that will provide her with the care and kindness she deserves. If Sheena sounds like a good match for your household, please ask to meet her today.

Updates:
Sheena was used for breeding all of her life until she was rescued with her eight puppies. She is loving life with her foster family and has fit in quite well. Sheena is housebroken, learning basic obedience and loves belly rubs. She will take belly rubs over treats. She is good with cats and small dogs, she plays gently with other dogs. She will growl if another dog comes near her food bowl while eating but she stops immediately when corrected. Sheena does have some health issues that she is being treated for. She is on antibiotics for a skin infection, she takes dasuquin for her joints. Sheena will have to have eye drops for the rest of her life because she has pannus and is partially blind. It is hard for her to see in the dark. But with all that she has been through, she is happy and accepting of meeting people with lots of tail wags and loves to be with her humans. , Sheena is a very affectionate girl. She loves snuggles and will actively seek attention but is respectful of our rules about no dogs on the furniture. She's getting along pretty well with the resident Male GSD, with only a few growls exchanged over dog beds. Sheena knows basic obedience, is fully housebroken and crate trained, and is picking up leash skills quickly. She is content to curl into a cushy bed and nap the day away and is always ready for a walk. Sheena prefers her toys without ears and tags and limbs, and is happy to fix them if they don't come that way. She likes to play ball as well.  Due to her past, she's a little hand shy and startles at loud noises. She is wary of cars and really dislikes releasing air sounds (like air brakes on a bus or even opening a soda). Sheena is the most affectionate foster that I've ever had, and is the most gentle and sweet girl! Just an incredible dog!

History: Owner Surrender

Description

Gemma and her sister, Requi, lived with a family who got tired of having dogs so they left them outside leaving the dogs with limited resources. As if this wasn't hard enough, the family then decided to move away and abandoned the girls along with two other dogs on the property. Another rescue group heard about these traumatized pups and decided to try and intervene. That's when MAGSR got a call. As MAGSR has a policy of never leaving families behind, we brought all 4 dogs to safety. Fortunately, MAGSR was able to work with other rescues to find safe homes for the two additional dogs on the property.

Gemma is a lovely girl. In her previous home, she lived with kids and other dogs. It was reported that she greatly enjoyed the children in her home. Although Gemma has clearly suffered at the hands of her previous family, she has been friendly and interactive with the volunteers she has met. Our volunteers have been very impressed with her sweet and stable nature.

Gemma is looking for a home that will love and commit to her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Description

Sweet Han was a stray to shelter. Looking at his current condition, it is evident that Han has endured a lot over his short life. When no one came to claim Han, MAGSR stepped up to help this guy find a home that will commit to him for a lifetime.

Although Han has been through a lot, his hardship and suffering are over. As a member of the MAGSR family, Han will receive the food, medical care, and comforts the he deserves. Han is a friendly guy even though he has clearly suffered. Once comfortable, he gives soft kisses and big tail wags to his people. An expert in the car, Han rides well and settles down nicely. He does appear to already have started some crate training and will likely pick up other household skills quickly. If you can provide Han with the comfort and leadership that this fantastic guy deserves, please ask to meet him today. 

Updates:
When Han arrived at MAGSR we quickly saw he was in bad shape. His neuter site had become infected and Han required emergency medical treatment which ended up being 3 days in the animal hospital. Poor Han’s scrotum had swollen to the size of a grapefruit and you could see the pain in his eyes. He developed a sarcoma with internal bleeding which required surgery to repair a blood vessel and remove his scrotum. We are happy to say he is feeling much better. Han has a long way to go as he is heartworm positive and severely underweight but MAGSR will ensure all of his health needs are addressed as well as lots of love and comfort. , Han's family loved him dearly. Unfortunately, they needed to return him to MAGSR. Although this was a very difficult decision, Han's family knew that this was in his best interest. We appreciate all that they did for Han while he lived with them.   Han is a lover and a quick learner. As a food and toy motivated guy, Han will be an excellent student when he attends training class. He takes vocal cues well and seems to want to please the handler. As Han is finishing out his last few weeks of crate rest due to his heartworm treatment, he is not yet able to play as much as he wants. However, that time is quickly approaching. Although Han is definitely a toy guy who will want play time once crate rest has ended, he also knows how to settle down with an elk horn or another tough toy. Living in a household with other dogs, Han seems curious about the other pups but hasn't yet had the opportunity to do full introductions. Slow, proper introductions are always encouraged as this lays the groundwork for a long term, stable relationship. We do know that Han has done well with dogs in previous households. Han is looking for a forever family that will provide him with structure, leadership, and plenty of toys. If he sounds like the right match for your household, please ask to meet him today!
