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.​

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?

Sugar is a gorgeous young white female Shepherd.  It is obvious that no one took the time to teach her anything or ever walked her on leash.  Our volunteers are working with her on leash manners.  She is a high energy girl who will need an active family.  Training will go along way in teaching acceptable behavior and manners.  
 

Sebastian found himself in a shelter hoping someone would give him the chance at a second life.  He was heartworm positive but has undergone treatment.  He is somewhat unsettled with all of the changes in his life, but with time he will settle in.  

Sweet Karma came to MAGSR underweight and from a very sad situation.  Karma previously lived in a hoarding situation with 14 other dogs.  Karma was underfed and used for breeding.  Because of all that Karma has endured, she is confused and just needs to learn to trust and know she'll be well taken care of.  Now that MAGSR has Karma, we hope she will quickly adjust and learn that she will receive regular meals, attention, and proper socialization. If Karma 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.

Zena was surrendered as she was not getting along with the farm animals, specifically the goats.  She lived with 3 young children, dogs and cats in previous home.  She did well with calmer cats.  She is a dominant female and is best suited with non dominate dogs, preferably males.  She is nervous of fireworks and thunderstorms, rides well in a car and does not get into things when home alone.  

Jack was surrendered to MAGSR because his family could no longer care for him.  Jack is a very handsome, laid back and easy going boy.  Jack does well on a leash and knows some basic commands. Jack likes to talk to new people, is crate trained and housebroken.  If Jack sounds like he may be a good fit for your family, please ask to meet him.

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.
 

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.

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.
 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
