Charlie is still very much a puppy and will require ongoing training to teach him good canine manners.  He is a large, strong boy who can play with rough so it would be best that he not be in a home with small children.  He is housebroken and crate train, it would be best that he is crated when his family is not home.  Crating a young dog keeps them and your home safe.  It keeps them from getting into things that they shouldn't and also provides safety and comfort.  He has lived with another dog and got along well.  Adopting a dog is a commitment for the lifetime of the dog, be sure that you have the time, patience and commitment it takes to add a dog to your family and life.

Dexter was a stray to a shelter where his family never came looking for him.  We received the plea to help this very sweet boy.  He was heartworm positive and needed medical attention.  Dexter has completed his heartworm treatment and is now ready to meet all those interested in giving him his forever home.  He is such a sweet boy, very well mannered and loves to play with other dogs.  Please consider Dexter for your family.

Shadow was adopted from our rescue when he was just a puppy in 2008.  Sadly, his adopters decided they no longer wanted him.  As you can imagine, Shadow’s world as he knew it has been turned upside down.  He is currently in a loving foster home with his foster family helping him with the adjustment, but we’re sure he obviously does not understand what is going on or where his family is.

Shadow’s foster family reports he is an amazing dog, cute and complete love bug.  They also report he is a wonderful fur-sibling to the resident dogs and is getting along great with them – he submits to them.  Shadow has chased the resident cats a couple of times, but for the most part is very calm around them.  Shadow’s fosters report he has been a wonderful and respectful house guest and knows some obedience training, and knows how to “speak” as well.

For a senior dog, Shadow gets around great and has a good amount of energy and could lose a few pounds.  Shadow would love to once again have a family and home of his very own.  Please do not let Shadow’s age deter you, as he has a lot of love to share.

Loli had a rough start in life but luckily her guardian angel changed all of that.  Loli was found in the Dominican Republic by a woman who was there with the Peace Corps.  Loli was not in good shape, needing medical care and good  nutrition.  She was brought back to the USA so that she could find a family who will love and care for her for the rest of her life.
 

Loli gets along very well with other dogs of all sizes, she is quite submissive.  She has lived with cats, she will chase but not aggressively, she just wants to play.  She has never lived with children, but many children would visit her while she still in the DR.   Loli still has some weight to gain and she is making  progress.  She was examined by a vet, given de-wormer and all of her vaccines.  Loli does experience some diarrhea which is being worked on with a change in diet.  Loli needs training, guidance and of course lots of love for her lifetime.

Addie is a gorgeous, friendly girl looking for to start her life anew. She walks nicely on a leash and enjoys spending time with our volunteers. She seems to be more of a laid back girl. She does have mild arthritis in her hips and elbows, she takes supplements which seem to help greatly.  Addie, would like nothing more than to be in a home loved by a family, of course in return she will devote herself to you.  Please ask to meet Addie.

Watson was taken in by person from a friend.  He had never had a dog before and realized a dog does not fit his life style, so Watson was surrendered to us.  

Watson is a well behaved boy, he is house broken, crate trained and knows many different commands.  He is very friendly with everyone he meets, including children, adults, other dogs and cats.  Watson craves love and attention, he is looking for a family who will love him and commit to him for his lifetime.

Donovan came to us from shelter where he was taken to after being found outside in the freezing rain.  His former person is bed-ridden and no longer able to care for him.  Donovan is now living with one of our trainers, working on his manners and learning how to properly interact with other dogs.  He is good with other dogs, but just needs to learn proper etiquette when introducing himself.  Donovan just seems nervous and a little unsure of himself. He loves treats and will sit politely.

Donovan is a little underweight at 52 lbs, but does have a smaller frame.   

Donovan will take a little time to adjust to a new family and home, but with patience and guidance he will make a great new family member 

Gunner was surrendered to MAGSR, as his family could no longer care for him.  Gunner has Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI), for which he is stable on diet and medication.  EPI can be very well controlled with proper nutrition and adding enzymes to his food which helps with digestion. More information can be found at this link: http://www.epi4dogs.com along with before and after pictures of dogs that have EPI.

Gunner was cared for and loved by his family, so he is understandably confused by his current situation. Gunner is in the comforts of a foster home, has a comfy bed and lots of premium nutrition – he is being very well cared for while he waits for his new family.  Gunner’s prior owners report he is house and crate trained, active, and friendly and playful with humans.  Gunner is also curious about cats but has never shown any aggression towards them.  Please ask to meet Gunner if he sounds like a good fit for your family! 

Hunters family was no longer able to care for him, wanting what was best for him they surrendered him to us so that he could find a new family.  He lived with 3 young children, he is good with cats and other dogs.  His family reported that he friendly and playful with everyone he meets.

Hunter is quite confused right now, his life has completely changed.  He is frightened and standoffish at this time.  We are giving him time to settle in and decompress from all of the recent changes.  He is young, energetic and will require training, guidance and patience.  A dog is a new family member and a commitment for their lifetime, please be sure you can make that commitment when considering adoption.

Jasper, along with his brothers, Herb and Malakai, were farm dogs, living outside free to roam where ever they wanted to.  Often times they ate trash and anything else they could find.

Cinder was surrendered due to circumstances beyond her control.  She is a beautiful, high energy girl that is continued training.  She successfully completed training with Off Leash K-9 but unfortunately her continued training and practice was not kept up.  Cinder is no couch potato, she is highly active and will require a family who can keep up with her and direct her energy.  She did live with smaller dogs which she did fine with unless their was a bone involved.  She does not like to be bothered when she has her bone.  There was no problems with food.  Cinder is not a dog for first time Shepherd owners and will require a family with experience with working line dogs.  Daily activity is a must as is ongoing training.  She would do well in agility or another type of job based activity like nose work.  A tired dog is a good dog.

Bailey along with her brother Baxter found themselves at a shelter after they kept escaping an electric/invisible fence and chasing the cattle.  Hmmm, imagine that they are herding dogs after all.  They are obviously smart and knew what they were born to do.  They are very bonded so we are hoping that a family will have enough room and love to adopt them together.  They did well with children they met, but would prefer not to share their home or people with cats.  They are a very sweet pair.

Valeska is a beautiful German Shepherd/Husky mix, lovingly known as a Shusky.  She came to us from a shelter so we do not know anything about her past.  We do know that she is sweet and friendly.  She is now enjoying the comforts of a foster home.  Please watch for updates as her foster family learns more about her.

Duke having only ever been seen by a vet once, for hair loss and treatment was not followed, was brought back a year later to the same vet.  His person brought him in, told the staff to euthanize him and walked out.  Duke is such sweet soul that the vet decided to reach out to rescue, knowing that with medical care, some TLC, good nutrition and a loving family Duke deserved more than to be euthanized.  

He is currently in medical boarding with our vet having a complete work up, tests and receiving meds to bring him some relieve.  Once feeling better he will have his vaccines.

Duke has hair loss, sores on his skin, scabs and both ears infected from years of neglect.  It is believed to be caused by allergies.  Even in his current painful condition he is as sweet as can be.

Donations to his medical care are greatly needed and very much appreciated.  

Kailey made her way to us from a shelter where her time was running out.  She is approximately 1 year old, friendly and full of life.  She is looking for a forever family who will help learn all that she needs to know to be a well mannered family member.  Training of course will help this, along with creating a lifelong bond.  Ask to meet sweet Kailey.

Ginger was surrendered to us through no fault of her own. She was not abused or neglected. But unfortunately, her family did not have enough time for her. She's a very nice, confident, outgoing, beautiful girl who has a lot going for her! She's already had some obedience training, knows her basic commands in German and is crate trained. Her family reported that she was great with their young children and newborn child. She's an active and intelligent girl who loves to go for car rides and loves to play fetch with the ball. She would benefit from being in a home where she will have daily activity and exercise with a family that will commit to her for the rest of her life. We will provide further updates as we learn more about her.
