Adopted MAGSR Dogs

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.

Roxanne was confiscated from her person due to improper care and neglect.  She waited patiently in a shelter to begin a new life, as there was a court case.  Thankfully the case was won in Roxanne's favor and she is now in our care looking for her forever family.  Roxanne has had no training or guidance, she is a blank slate in that regard.  She is also has no idea what to do with a leash on and will put up some resistance, our volunteers are working with her.  Training is essential for Roxanne and her new family, along with structure and guidance.  She is a diamond in the rough, but with training she will shine bright.

Kaz, Kylene, and Kyrie are siblings. All three dogs were turned into a shelter. All  are very nice dogs. Kaz is pretty laid back and walks pretty well on a leash. He does enjoy the company of his sisters during his walk. Kaz would be a great companion dog for any family.

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?

Magic was surrendered by his family as they were moving into an apartment where Shepherds were not allowed.  

He lived with children, cats and other dogs in his previous home. He does like to chase the cats, but we are told he only wants to play.

Magic, of course will require training and guidance from his family so that he can learn good manners.
 

Shosha came to us from a shelter, so we have no history on her.  We are learning more about her, so far we know that she is a friendly girl and enjoys the company of other dogs, although she does play rough.  She is a big girl at 94 lbs. 

Little Miss Abby is such a charmer!   Abby may not be as big in physical stature as her GSD foster siblings (don’t tell her that though!) but this little girl has a heart as big as she thinks she is, and the energy, drive, and enthusiasm to match.   Abby has a bubbly personality and loves meeting all new people, and she gets along splendidly with big dogs (like her!) that are familiar to her, however she can get quite stimulated around smaller dogs.  Abby is very well behaved at home, and is very happy being out and about, running along with her foster on his bike, and going anywhere in the car.   She loves going to training class and has really ramped up on her obedience and manners, where she especially enjoys running the obstacle course.  Abby is a whole lot of dog in a small package, is as sweet as can be, and she is guaranteed to bring a great big smile to your face.  Please ask to meet Abby if she sounds like she might be the dog for you!

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.

Cyndal was found as a stray and taken to a shelter.  She is a sweet, sweet girl who gets along very well with other dogs.  She adores people, although we have not seen her with children yet.  We also do not know how she would do with cats as she has not met any yet.  When Cyndal showed up at the shelter she was missing a rear leg, no one has any history on this as she was stray.  She has no problems getting around with only 3 legs.  In fact tri-paws adapt to a missing limb and can pretty much do all of the same things as 4 legged dogs.  Please don't let her missing limb deter you from asking to meet Cyndal to see for yourself how well she gets around and just how sweet she is.

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.
 

Mysti's former owner surrendered her as he did not have time for her and his brothers alpha female GSD was attacking her.  This is the reason that Mysti has some scratches and scars on her nose/muzzle, but they make her no less beautiful.  Mysti was being kept in an all black wire metal crate, which was too small for her, out in the sun in 80 degree temperatures.  Mysti loves rope toys, kongs and knuckle bones which she will carry around in her mouth.  She rides well in a vehicle and did well at her vet visit.  She enjoys having her belly rubbed.  With proper training, love and encouragement Mysti will be a wonderful family dog.

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.  

Sterling is a large, handsome sable male GSD.  He is young at 3 years old and full of energy.  He will need a good training program along with structure and guidance from his family.  With Sterling's energy he would make a great running or hiking partner.  He is no couch potato, he will require daily exercise to keep his energy in check.

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.

Meet adorable Carter, an 8 month old German Shepherd mix.  Carter found himself as a stray, very underweight out in the cold.  He made his way to a home where he was taken in and cared for while they tried to find his family.   He was in a home with 11 Hound Dogs and did well with them.   He is friendly with everyone he meets.  ​ Carter is still putting on such much needed weight, of course good nutrition and regular meals helps with this.   Ask to meet Carter,  he is ready for stability and a family of his very own.

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.  

Dutchess came into our care after an urgent last minute plea from the shelter as she needed to be monitored.  She had been dumped at a vets office by her person, stating they didn't want her.  Dutchess is blind in one eye which was caused by an injury that her person never got medical attention for.  She also has a head tilt for reasons unknown at this time.  She will be thoroughly examined by our vet and will receive any medical treatment needed once a diagnosis is made.  We do know that she had lived her life on a chain.  Dutchess has a very sweet personality giving kisses to those she meets.  Dutchess deserves a start at a new life, one where her family will properly care for and love her.

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.

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