Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Zeus was adopted from us as an 8 week old puppy.  He was returned as the adopter claims he is moving and could not find housing that would allow a large breed dog.  Zeus is a wonderful, friendly boy.  He needs some brushing up on his obedience training.  He is over weight and could use to lose pounds, walks, and playtime along with cutting back on his food intake will help him reach optimal weight.  He was often left with a pet sitter who had children and cats, he did fine with all.  In his previous home he lived with other dogs without problems.  Zeus will make a great family addition, please ask to meet him.

Bristol was not well cared for by her previous person.  She often went without being fed, allowed to run at large putting her in danger of being hit by cars.  She has had no training and no guidance.  Regardless of her lack of her care and guidance she is a sweet, friendly young girl.  She enjoys the company of and playing with other dogs and she is good with children.  Of course she will require formal training, it not only teaches her how to be a well behaved and balanced girl, but it also helps with creating a bond with her new family.  Please be sure you have the time and patience to commit to Bristol for the rest of her life.

Sadly Soldier's person found themselves homeless needing to find a new home for Soldier.  He is now in our care in a foster home.  He has done well with other dogs, cats and children since being in his foster home.  His foster will provide an update once she has gotten to know him better and he has had the chance to settle in.

Chauncey has been let down by people 3 times in his short life, he is now looking for his forever family that will commit to him for his for lifetime.

He was first in a shelter at 4 weeks old, adopted at 8 weeks old as a cute adorable puppy only to be returned at 7 months old.  He was too much to handle and no time was spent on training.  He was then adopted again and returned as his family was moving and they were not willing to find a place that allowed dogs.  Chauncey didn't deserve to be treated this way, he is not disposable.  He is 73 lbs but could stand to lose 5 lbs or so.  Nothing that daily exercise, walks and a little less food won't help.  He enjoys the outdoors, playing, going for walks and exploring his surroundings.  Please, when considering adding a dog to your family that you are able to commit to them for their lifetime.  They should be treated as a loving family member.

Sweet Shrek was surrendered to us as his former person had no time for him.  He was being left in a junk filled backyard.  Shrek has a partially missing ear which we were told his mother bit off.  It seems that he also has some damage to the tip of his other ear.  This in no way takes away from how adorable him, it gives him his own unique look.  He is in a foster home enjoying his time living indoors, having a large clean yard to romp around in with the resident dogs.  His foster family has started working with him on training and he is learning quickly.  It is important that his new family continues with training and keeping him socialized with other people and dogs.  This time in his life is critical for this as it provides a great foundation for him to be a well balanced adult.

Ozzie's former person took ill and was no longer able to care for  him.  He was brought to the VA area by a family member and is now in our care looking for his forever family.  Ozzie is a very big boy at 94 lbs  He has undergone formal training but will require further training with his new family.  He has not lived with dogs before but did well meeting another German Shepherd during our evaluation.  Ozzie does have the tendency to herd (nip at) children, for this reason we feel it is best that he not be placed in a home with young children.  A boy of this size can be intimating to small children and he could also accidentally knock them down.  For the most past Ozzie's former person exercised Ozzie on daily 2 mile walks and lots of games of fetch.  Daily exercise is key to  keep energy in check, so please be sure you have the time to commit to his exercise needs, training and of course a lifetime of love and care.

Harleigh was a stray and taken to a shelter.  She is good with other dogs, She is a little shy, but she is just getting to know us.  She is a petite girl, but very beautiful and easier to handle then the larger Shepherds.   

Manning made his way to us after sitting in a shelter as a stray.  We have no information on him prior to him coming into our care.  He is a friendly boy, he enjoys the company of other dogs.  He needs sometime to settle in to his new life and get use to all of the changes, but he seems to be taking it all in stride.  Manning is now looking for a forever family and a soft bed in his new home.

Jack came to us with no prior history, so we are getting to know him.  He can be a little unsure of new things and people which results him hiding.  But once comfortable with his person he becomes a 75 lb. lap dog.  He will flourish with training and guidance, this will help him build a bond with his family and relax so that he can enjoy the world around him.  He does have a lot of strength and no leash manners, this is something that needs to be worked on.  If you are looking for a handsome boy and don't mind a large lap dog to cuddle with then Jack is your boy

Reuger is a young, handsome boy who has been through basic obedience training.  It is imperative that he continues training with his new family.  Reuger is not good with small dogs and will not be placed in a home with small dogs.  In his previous home he had escaped the home through an opened door and an electric fence going after small dogs in the neighborhood.  He did live with a cat, getting along fine as long as the cat did not run around.  He also lived with a female GSD and was fine with her.  Reuger does play rough with other dogs, so another dog in the home must be playful and accepting of rough housing.  Reuger also has the tendency to get mouthy with people when he is overly excited.  Training, structure and direction can help with these behaviors.  Reuger will do best with experienced GSD people, who have the time and knowledge to work with him. 

Peggy came to us from a shelter where she was a stray so we have no back history on her.  She has been friendly and easy to handle since arriving in our care.  She of course needs training to help her learn good manners and to learn what is expected of her.  Training is also good socialization with other people and dogs, which this breed requires.

Annie came to us a surrender as her former person was not properly caring for her.  His family intervened knowing that Annie deserved a better life, one filled with love and care.  Annie is in a loving foster home where she lives with children.  She has adjusted well to her foster home and family.  

Red made his way to us from a shelter where he was surrendered.  Unfortunately we do not have any back history on him.  Since being in our care he has been friendly and pretty laid back.  If you are looking for a refined gentleman to go for leisurely strolls, spend time hanging out, that is past the high energy level of a adolescent dog then Red is the boy for you. 

Samson came to us as an owner surrender as his former person could no longer care for him due to personal health issues.  Samson is shy when when meeting new people, he requires a little time to check you out.  He is good with children and other dogs, but prefers his home be cat free.  Samson needs to build up his confidence, socialization along with training will help him, along with structure.  He is in a foster home adjusting to the changes in his life.

Murphy made his way to us from a shelter where he was a stray.  We have no past history for him, so we are getting to know him.  He requires a slower approach when meeting new people.   He is in need of training which will help him learn good manners, build his confidence and bond with his new family.

Manning made his way to us after sitting in a shelter as a stray.  We have no information on him prior to him coming into our care.  He is a friendly boy, he enjoys the company of other dogs.  He needs sometime to settle in to his new life and get use to all of the changes, but he seems to be taking it all in stride.  Manning is now looking for a forever family and a soft bed in his new home.

Annie along with Essie were turned into a shelter after their human mom took ill and could no longer care for them.  They were much loved and well cared for.  They have lived their entires lives together, so we are hoping a very special family will find room in their hearts and homes for them both.  Essie is more outgoing than Annie.  Annie more independent and can be aloof.   Don't let their age fool you, these girls have spunk, enjoying walks and playtime

Ramsay made his way to our care from shelter, where he ended up as a stray.  Ramsay is a handsome, approximate 2 year old male GSD mix.  He takes a brief moment to warm up to new people, but once he does he quickly becomes your best friend.  He likes to lean into his person, enjoys being petted and being with his family.  He is a strong boy and pulls quite a bit when being walked, training will help this along with helping him learn good canine manners. 

Baylor is a sweet, well mannered boy.  He is a good size to handle and snuggle with.  He's a little shaken up by the recent changes in his life, but he is settling in.  Baylor would love to have a family of his very own, the comforts of  a soft bed, the love and care a forever family.
