Lovely Katie Ann was picked up as a stray and sheltered by another rescue while they waited for her stray hold. Unfortunately, no one came forward to claim this lovely girl. Although they enjoyed their time with Katie Ann, the rescue caring for her felt that she would be most likely to find her forever family if she moved into a breed specific rescue. When asked if we could help Katie Ann take the next step toward her forever home, MAGSR immediately stepped forward.

Katie Ann is an affectionate and friendly girl especially with her people. She greatly enjoys the company of the people within her sphere and seems to understand the ins and outs of living with a family. However, as is true with most shepherds, Katie Ann will overbond if given the opportunity. This can cause her to become overprotective of her people, her property, and her home. In order to meet with success, Katie Ann is looking for an experienced household that will work with her to develop a healthy relationship. Boundaries and clear expectations are very helpful to her success. Katie Ann will thrive with routine, leadership, and structure. Training will also go a long way with this lovely girl. Not only will training help Katie Ann bond to her forever family, but it will also help her develop into a good and stable canine citizen. Katie Ann has already begun to learn some basics with our volunteers, but she will flourish with continued training. Although Katie Ann can be walked calmly in areas with other dogs, she is looking for a home where she is the only dog. Best placed with a confident handler, Katie Ann is looking for an active family that will commit to her for a lifetime. If this lovely lady sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today. 

Anshu and his family - Tej, Novi, and Asha - were dumped on the side of a busy road in the south. With traffic flying past at high speeds, this little family was not likely to survive for long. Fortunately, a good samaritan saw what was happening and stopped to try to help the family. With an incredible stroke of good luck she was able to corral the family and convince them to hop into her car. From there she took them to a rescue friendly boarding facility. Although the authorities were contacted and a stray hold was put into effect, no one came forward. Recognizing that this family would benefit from rescue placement, a plea went out for help. MAGSR knew this family deserved the chance to move forward as a unit, so our team welcomed all four members into the rescue. 

Anshu is a confident, interactive, and intelligent guy. He has been well-socialized with his family and seems to have brung stability to the little family. Adventurous and curious about the world around him, Anshu is hoping to find a forever family that enjoys long walks and exploration. Although Anshu has been a phenomenal dad, it is time for him to move on and find a forever family that will cherish him. Anshu seems to enjoy the company of his people. He is attentive to the handler and very responsive. Anshu is looking for a forever family that will continue to teach him the ins and outs of living in a loving home. As is true of all shepherds, Anshu will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. Daily exercise for his body and his mind will help him settle nicely into her forever home. As he moves forward, training is critical for Anshu's success. Not only will training help Anshu create a strong and healthy bond with his family, but it will also help him become a good canine citizen. Anshu is looking for a family that will love him for a lifetime. If he sounds like the right match for you, ask to meet him today. 
 

Sookie and her ten siblings (the Gilmore puppies) found themselves in an overcrowded shelter in the south. The number of dogs needing placement is simply overwhelming shelters across the country. Unfortunately, these babies, like so many other dogs, were in need of help fast. Recognizing that these babies deserved every opportunity to meet with success, staff at the shelter sent out personal rescue pleas attempting to keep this large family alive. When we heard that the Gilmore puppies needed placement, our incredible team began putting together plans to welcome all eleven babies into the rescue. 

The Gilmore puppies are a social, playful, and interactive bunch. They have clearly had opportunities to socialize with people and other animals. However, this process has just begun. It is essential that their forever families continue to provide opportunities to socialize with people and animals in new and safe environments. This will help the Gilmore puppies develop stability and confidence as adult dogs. Training is also critical for these babies as it will not only help them create a healthy bond with their forever families, but it will also help them develop into good canine citizens. The Gilmore puppies have all settled into amazing foster families where they are learning the comforts and routines of living in a home. They are learning about toys, treats, and the joy of a good nap. As they move forward, the Gilmore puppies will be looking for loving forever homes that will continue to provide them with structure, routine, and leadership. Although these babies are cute as can be, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, and training, we are positive these babies will grow into incredible adult dogs. The Gilmore puppies will open for adoption on April 22nd. If Sookie sounds like the right match for your household, get your application in today!

Miss Maggie was surrendered to another rescue as she and another un-spayed female were not getting along in the household. Recognizing that the girls were not safe in the current situation, the family decided to look for rescue placement. Maggie was welcomed into another rescue. They made sure that Maggie was spayed and given the opportunity to meet with success. Recognizing that training is essential for all dogs, the other rescue made sure that Maggie began training right away. An intelligent and driven girl, Maggie loves working. She picks up commands quickly and is beyond happy to please her person. With a great foundation in place and an overwhelming number of dogs continuing to need placement, Maggie was transferred to the MAGSR family so that we could help her on the next stage of her journey. 

Maggie is well socialized with people. She is friendly, inquisitive, and always ready to play ball. As a young shepherd, Maggie has a lot of energy. She is looking for an active family that will help her exercise her body and her mind on a daily basis. Maggie is looking for a family that will provide her with continued structure, routine, and leadership as this will help her continue to thrive. Maggie has lived in a home. So, she understands many of the ins and outs of living in a household. However, as is true of any new dog, Maggie will need time to adjust to the rules and expectations of her forever family. Although Maggie already has a solid training foundation, continued training is essential as it will help Maggie create a strong and healthy bond with her forever family. If Maggie sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today. 

Genie and her family - Axel, Jackie, Gyspie, Sally, and Birdie - are victims of cruelty and neglect. All six dogs were living in horrific conditions. Chained in shower stalls, living in filth, abused, and starved, they endured unimaginable suffering at the hands of their owner. When word of their situation spread to local authorities, all 6 dogs were confiscated and charges were brought against their owner. Recognizing that these dogs would need significant support, a plea went out to see if they could be moved to the safety of a rescue. MAGSR answered that plea and immediately began working with local groups and animal services to get all six dogs the resources needed (medically and socially) to begin to move forward.  

Genie is a young, energetic, intelligent girl. She is looking for an active household that will provide her with the clear structure and routine that all shepherds need. Consistency and leadership are essential to developing stable and confident adult shepherds. This is particularly true in Genie's case as she will try to control the situation if she feels her handler cannot. As a result, Genie will be most successful in a household with a calm, confident, and experienced handler. Coming from a situation with little opportunity for affection or interaction with the world around her, Genie is learning about the smells, sounds, and sites around her. She can be a little timid at first; however, patience and confidence go a long way with her. As is true of all young dogs, Genie will need daily exercise for both her mind and her body. This will help her develop the ability to handle new people and situations in a calm and composed manner, as well as help her develop a healthy mindset. Continued socialization is also critical for Genie as she has spent her first year with limited interactions. Providing Genie with opportunities to interact with other people and other animals in a controlled manner will help her develop essential skills that could not be established while chained up. Training will be an essential piece of this process, as it will not only help Genie learn to develop a healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to be a good canine citizen. Fortunately, Genie has already learned many of her basic commands. Further practice will help her develop the stability needed to meet with success. With some heavier GSD specific traits, such as herding and guarding of property, Genie is a young girl who is looking for a safe and loving family. It is important that her new family understands the needs of the breed. If Genie sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today. 

Handsome Ghost was loved by his family. However, they felt that his energy and general care were too much for them to handle. So, they made the difficult decision to surrender him to a shelter hoping that he would find a forever family that would love him for a lifetime. Although shelter staff enjoyed Ghost, they knew that he would have his best chance at meeting with success if he moved into a breed specific rescue. When MAGSR heard that Ghost needed a place to move forward, we put plans in place to move him forward. 

Ghost is a handsome, energetic, and playful guy. He can be a little timid with new people; however, if given time to adjust he enjoys the company of his people. He loves attention and snuggles once he knows you are safe. A big fan of toys, Ghost knows what toys are and is happy to play with someone or on his own. He is hoping his forever family has a nice supply of toys to explore.  As a young guy, Ghost will thrive with a family that will provide him with structure, routine, and leadership. Daily exercise is necessary as this will not only help him exercise his body but also his mind. Although Ghost has been socialized with people and other dogs, he does still need to learn some manners. Training will go a long way for Ghost. Not only will it help him develop a strong and healthy bond with his family, but it will also help him grow into a good canine citizen. Ghost is looking for a toy loving family that will commit to him for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Sweet Sasha was living in a home but was left in her crate 24/7 other than for breaks to go outside to the bathroom. She kept her crate clean and was sweet as can be, but remained living this way for too long. Recognizing that Sasha deserved more, she was surrendered to another rescue who gave her the chance to socialize with other dogs and people. They quickly discovered that this little lady loves dogs of all sizes. She is social and outgoing with her furry friends. Although they quickly fell in love with Sasha, due to an overwhelming number of dogs needing placement, Sasha was transferred into MAGSR's care so that we could find her a forever family.

Sasha is sweet, social, and a joy to be around. Although she lived in a home, she was not given many opportunities to be out and about in the household. Sasha will likely need a little time to adjust to rules and expectations of living in a home. However, she already has a good start as she is crate trained and does understand the joys of regular meals and loving people. Sasha will thrive in a home that provides her with the structure, routine, and leadership that all dogs crave. Training will also go a long way with Sasha. Not only will training help her develop a life-long bond with her family, but it will also help her become a good canine citizen. Sasha is looking for a family that enjoys playtime, cuddles, and plenty of giggles. If Sasha sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

Ema was confiscated due to cruelty and neglect. She and several other dogs were left outside in kennel runs filled with filth. Clearly underweight, needing medical care, and safer circumstances, Ema and her buddies were removed from the property. Although Ema began to receive the care and attention she deserved, it was felt that due to overcrowding at the shelter Ema would likely be most successful in finding her forever family if she moved into a rescue. When asked if we could help Ema move forward, MAGSR immediately put plans into place to welcome her to the MAGSR family. 

Ema is a sweet, happy-go-lucky girl. Even though she has survived cruelty at the hands of her previous owner, she still enjoys the company of people. Affectionate and playful, it is impossible to be in her presence without smiling. As Ema has not lived inside a home, the rules and expectations of living in a household will be new. However, Miss Ema is more than ready for a new challenge. As is true of all young dogs, Ema will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. She is also hoping that her new family enjoys cuddles. Training will go a long way with Ema. Not only will it help her develop a healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. Ema is looking for a family that will love her for a lifetime, could that be with you?

Lovely little Sadey was surrendered to another rescue in the south as her owners felt that they could not provide her with the care that she deserved. Although Sadey was clearly being well cared for while with the other rescue, due to an overwhelming number of dogs needing rescue support in their area, they asked to transfer Sadey into our care. We were happy to welcome Sadey to the MAGSR family. 

Sadey is a social and intelligent little lady. She enjoys the company of her people and other animals. Currently living in a foster family with children and two big dogs, she has snuggled her way into the hearts of every member of the family. Although Sadey is still a baby, she is making huge strides adjusting to the rules and routines of living in a home. Her housebreaking is coming right along, she is sleeping through the night, and keeping her kennel clean and dry. A playful girl, Sadey understands the importance of toys and can often be found chasing around a ball. Active and intelligent, Sadey picks up new skills daily and seems to be a great problem solver. Although Sadey's foster family is already taking important steps toward socializing her, it is critical that her forever family continue this process. Training will also go a long way with Sadey as it will help her develop into a stable and confident adult dog. Sadey is absolutely adorable; however, it is important that Sadey's forever family remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew on inappropriate things, have accidents, and fill your home with puppy antics. With structure, routine, and leadership, Sadey will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to become. If Sadey sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today. 

Just like any enlisted personnel, Sarge hasn’t had an easy go of the beginning of his furry life: In December he was found wandering the streets searching for his human.  Knowing the streets weren’t a place for his gorgeous Sable GSD, kind Samaritans brought him to a local rescue in hopes he would be claimed.  When no one came forward to claim him, and he continued to show fear of male staff and volunteers, it was determined he was clearly mishandled and the best move for him would be to place him in foster with a “Sarge Trusted-and-Approved” female volunteer.  Mid-December his journey continued, and he was with his first foster until the end of January. Unfortunately, Sarge had to move to a second foster home after emergency surgery to save his life due to severe complications from his neutering just a few days prior.  During his recovery in his second foster, he did very well with the resident female dog after proper introduction and time to acclimate.

Thankfully his second foster-mom knew exactly what he needed, and as hard as it was for her to seek a way to get him to MAGSR, she did.

What we’ve learned about Sarge is that not only is he strikingly HANDSOME, but he is working diligently on being a very good boy!  He’s working on building confidence and trust which will help him work through his fear of some male humans.  As with all good GSD’s, he is eager to please.  In general, Sarge is more of the follower, and once he warms up, is looking for a pack leader in all senses, (if you’re familiar with Army Rankings, he’s looking for his ‘Command Sergeant Major!).  He has no hesitation getting into cars for a ride, and enjoys the ride, but will get very anxious if you try to leave him behind - as they say in the military - “LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND” he expects you to exercise this essential value.  But who wouldn’t love a velcro pooch as gorgeous as Sarge by their side 24/7?  Oh and if you’re having trouble coaxing him to do anything, Sarge will be eager to please for some Cream Cheese!

Sarge will absolutely thrive in a home where his family is either familiar with German Shepherds or is eager to learn about the temperament of the breed while providing the basic essentials - structure, boundaries, routines, guidance and training. As previously mentioned, Sarge was in foster care with another dog, and has the potential to be an amazing addition to the family if a proper introduction and time to decompress is provided given all the movement and instability prior to arriving at MAGSR.  If Sarge sounds like the perfect addition to your Platoon/Company a.k.a. Family, please ask to enlist your family to the life of Sarge today!

Sweet Freddie was picked up as a stray and brought to a shelter in southern Virginia. Found at a local elementary school playing with all the children on the playground, everyone knew that Freddie was a special guy. Although they did everything they could to help him move forward, unfortunately, the shelter that he arrived at lacked the resources to meet his needs. As a result, dogs with medical needs, like Freddie, often do not receive the care and attention they need. Recognizing that Freddie needed more than they could give, shelter staff immediately began networking Freddie hoping a rescue could step in to help. When the shelter reached out about Freddie, our team immediately started working together to find a loving foster home for this handsome guy. Freddie, like so many seniors, had limited options at the shelter, but he deserved the dignity of living out his golden years in comfort and safety. We are excited and honored to be able to step up and welcome Freddie into the MAGSR family.

Freddie is a sweet, interactive, and intelligent guy. It is highly evident that somewhere along the lines he was socialized with people and other animals. Although we do not know anything about his past, we are excited about his future. Freddie is living with a loving and experienced foster family that has welcomed many seniors over the years. He is enjoying the comforts of a loving home, regular meals, and a warm bed. Still learning the ins and outs of his current home, Freddie is adjusting to the new routines. He will need time to adjust to his forever home as well. As is true of GSDs of all ages, Freddie will thrive in an environment that provides him with structure, routine, and leadership. Training will go a long way for this guy. Not only will it help him develop a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen. 

Having joined the rescue family, we have been able to begin providing Freddie with the vetting care he has needed to move forward. Unfortunately, we have learned that Freddie is heartworm positive. This prognosis could have been avoided if Freddie's family had kept him on preventatives. Although treatment is expensive, this social guy is beyond worth the cost. Freddie's entire heartworm treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Donations toward his care are greatly appreciated as this will help us not only help this handsome guy but they will also help us continue to support medical dogs in need. Freddie will need to take it easy over the next couple months while he completes his treatment. However, this will help him develop a healthy bond with his forever family. If Freddie sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today.

Snowball and her brother, Ottis, found themselves at a scary and overcrowded shelter. Although these babies are cute as can be, due to a lack of space, they quickly needed out as they were living on borrowed time. Fortunately, the right people got involved and both Snowball and Ottis found the MAGSR family in time. 

She is a smart, confident, sweetheart - a very fun puppy!

Snowball is an intelligent and confident girl. She is ready to try new things and wants some independence while doing so. A little sweetheart who will ask for love when she is ready, Snowball is hoping to find a forever family that will give her the opportunity to continue to socialize with a variety of people, places, and animals. Socialization is key to raising a happy and healthy pup. Although Snowball is an absolute doll, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew on inappropriate things, have accidents, and fill your home with puppy antics. With structure, routine, and leadership, Snowball will develop into the stable and confident adult we know that she is destined to become. If this lovely little girl sounds like the right match for your household, please ask to meet her today. 

Maize is finding her way through this crazy maze we humans call life, and unfortunately through the twist and turns, has found herself at a temporary dead end. Her former family loved her, but had a life changing event that has left this smart, calm, obedient, perfectly trained, and stunning girl in the care of MAGSR. 

We are excited to share what we know about Maize, and let us tell you - she is AH-MAIZE-ING!  Her history reads more like an Ivy-League education too!  She began her training with the breeder, Haus Juris, and finished her most recent training with Diamond Kennels. Since Maize was properly bred and has good bloodlines, she has an incredible temperament, is calm and possesses the traits of an absolute gem of a GSD.  Her training was proactive and not to address any particular behavioral issues. While at the vet and outside the home, she has 5-star behavior without the aid of sedation or muzzling and often was paid many compliments. There are no concerns of aggression towards humans, nor are there concerns with other dogs.  She is house trained (will cue by sitting near the door for a break), crate trained (responds to Kennel) and so much more. I suppose you can say the only issue that has been reported was Maize’s puzzlement of a rouge plastic bag flailing in the dark of night. 

Maize’s extensive training really shines while you’re out on a walk showing this beauty off - she will maintain your pace and obey every command, with her attention split between the smells or things around her and the owner during walks. Maize is a joy with strangers and does not often jump on her own accord (it’s hard for some of us humans not to ask for a hug from this stunner!).  She often does pay close attention when dogs (sometimes hackles go up) and people pass by, but that attention to both is clearly due to interest rather than territoriality or aggression. As having been properly socialized while she was a puppy, neighborhood dogs have routinely approached and she has displayed playfulness on every occasion and just wants to make friends. Maize has also been fully desensitized to loud noises, city noises, and the like and has never shown any alarm with cars driving by, honking, etc.

As if all that wasn’t enough already, Maize's best qualities are her gentle and loving personality, goofiness, physical fitness, general obedience, but also, her complete lack of aggression and mischievous behavior. Maize really does care about being a good dog and wants to please her owners. The only thing she needs to work on would be to help her manage her small bit of anxiety and excitement - this has been noted to happen sometimes in the car when she doesn’t know where we are going and is sometimes a bit over-excited home greetings.

As with any beauty, Maize enjoys days at the spa, and LOVES being brushed in-between spa days!  As with all German Shepherds, Maize will continue to grow and flourish when provided with the essentials - structure, boundaries, routines, guidance and training. If she sounds just as AH-MAIZE-ING to you as she does to us, then please find your way to MAGSR and ask to see Maize today!

Thor is on an adventure in search of his ‘superhero’ family! We know a little about Thor, as he was an owner-surrender due to an unpredictable change in the household.  It was a very difficult decision for the family because he is a super dog, but they wanted to do what is best and brought Thor to us.

As a typical GSD, Thor is eager to please! He doesn’t always wear a cape, but when he does, it’s usually under a blanket on a couch next to you after a long walk, some play-time (catching bad-guys) so he can rest up for the next adventure.  Thor has lived with a toddler and is good with other dogs with the same focus - catching bad guys (possibly the evil squirrel that wrecks your lawn)! 

Thor loves his ‘super’-humans and wants to make sure his ‘superhuman’ family doesn’t emBARK on adventures without him, so he will need to be safely tucked away, possibly with a bad-guy defying puzzle of treats! Also, because Thor is a crime-fighting (squirrels) pup, he can sometimes have a delay in warming up to ladies - after all aren’t they all after him for his good looks?  He is a heart-breaker if you’re not careful!

Thor would thrive in a home with a family who is familiar or is eager to learn the ways of a true GSD - structure, boundaries, routines and guidance.  Thor will return the favor of being saved with superior loyalty…(mostly sloppy kisses and a shadow in the shape of a handsome GSD), if this sounds like the adventure you would like to emBARK upon, then ask to meet Thor today!

Beaker is a big, handsome guy who has moved around a bit lately. Although his most recent home hoped to keep him forever, it was discovered that he was a little too interested in the horses of the farm where he lived. In the interest of keeping him and the horses safe, his family decided that it would be best if he found a family with different circumstances. Wanting to ensure that Beaker found a safe and loving forever family, they surrendered Beaker to MAGSR. We promised we would find this big guy an amazing home. 

Beaker is in many ways your typical GSD. He is intelligent, inquisitive about his surroundings, and observant. When first meeting new people he is friendly but takes a little time to let his full personality shine. However, given some time to adjust, Beaker enjoys a good lean-in and chin scratches. Although we do not know much about his past, we know that Beaker's future is bright. Beaker is looking for an active household that will provide him with the structure, routine, and leadership that all GSDs crave. He responds well to a calm and patient handler and seems to take cues nicely. Although he is still learning basic commands, Beaker is responsive and is likely to pick up expectations quickly. Training is critical to Beaker success. Not only will training help Beaker create a strong, healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen. Beaker is looking for a family that will commit to him for a lifetime. Could that family be you?

Bunsen is a friendly guy who has moved around a bit lately. Although his most recent home hoped to keep him forever, it was discovered that he was a little too interested in the horses of the farm where he lived. In the interest of keeping him and the horses safe, his family decided that it would be best if he found a family with different circumstances. Wanting to ensure that Bunsen found a safe and loving forever family, they surrendered Bunsen to MAGSR. We promised we would find this sweetheart an amazing home. 

Bunsen is a goofy and wiggly GSD. As a young guy, he is curious, intelligent, and energetic. Bunsen seems to enjoy meeting new people. Affectionate and interactive, he greets with tail wags and kisses. Although he definitely seems comfortable with new people, Bunsen is still learning about new places. He can be a little shy when encountering new things and is looking for a leader who will give him plenty of opportunities to experience the world around him. Although we do not know much about his past, we know that Bunsen's future is bright. Bunsen is looking for an active household that will provide him with the structure, routine, and leadership that all GSDs crave. He responds well to a calm and patient handler. Although he is still learning basic commands, Bunsen is responsive and is likely to pick up expectations quickly. Training is essential to Bunsen's success. Not only will training help Bunsen develop a strong, healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him become a good canine citizen. Bunsen is looking for a loving family that will commit to him for a lifetime. Could that family be you?

Sweet Fritzy once lived in a home with his owner. He enjoyed the life most dogs hope to lead. However, his life changed drastically when his owner became disabled and could no longer properly care for him. Fritzy was placed outside on the property but received little interaction, food, or vetting care. Underlying allergies began to plague Fritzy and his skin became inflamed. Over time this condition worsened, leaving Fritzy with open sores, infections, several areas of missing fur, and underweight. When a couple of good samaritans became aware of Fritzy's situation, they intervened by bringing Fritzy food, clean water, and needed socialization. Although they made Fritzy's world better, they knew that Fritzy needed more. We were contacted to see if we could move Fritzy into our care so that he could be placed in a safe and loving forever home. How could we say no?

Fritzy joined the MAGSR family and has begun to heal. Although he has a bit of a journey ahead of him, we are working with our vetting partners to help Fritzy move forward. With a plan in place, we are honored to have the opportunity to watch him heal and try new adventures every day. As is true of all GSDs, Fritzy is looking for a home that will provide him with structure, routine and consistency. This will help him decompress and build a strong and stable relationship with his forever family. Fritzy will benefit from continued socialization in a structured manner. This will help him continue to learn about the world around him. With time, patience, and a little TLC, we know he will be joy and endless smiles to his forever family. If your family is ready to welcome a new furry friend, ask to meet Fritzy. He can't wait to find a safe and loving forever home. 

Stunning Mikah was loved by her family. However, due to a change in circumstances, they were unable to provide her with the care they felt she deserved. Knowing that Mikah deserved an amazing home that would provide her with a lifetime of love, her owner made the difficult decision to surrender her. We promised Mikah's family that we would find her an amazing forever family. 

Mikah is a young, active, and intelligent girl. She is quick to learn new things and responsive to the handler. Typical of most young GSDs, Mikah has a lot of good energy that will need to be burned appropriately on a daily basis. She will thrive in an environment where she has structure, routine, and consistency. Having lived in a household, Mikah has already learned some of the ins and outs of living in a home. However, as is true of any new dog, Mikah will need time to adjust to her forever home. She is a big fan of toys and will happily play with you, but she can also keep herself entertained. As Mikah moves forward, training and continued socialization are essential. Training will not only help Mikah develop a strong and healthy bond with her family, but it will also help develop into a good canine citizen. Mikah is looking for a family that will commit to her for a lifetime, could that be with you?
