Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Dax is a very handsome and big boy.  He came to us from a shelter so we have no history for him.  He is very friendly with people and enjoys spending time with them.  He has done well with other dogs, although he will react to other dogs that bark at him.  He would probably do best with a submissive dog, but one that enjoys playtime.   He has a more laid back personality, such a wonderful boy.

Apollo was surrendered to a shelter as his family had never had a German Shepherd before and didn't realize how much time, training and the commitment it takes.  Apollo has not been well socialized with people or other dogs, he has not had training or guidance.  He is a big boy for his age but still very much a puppy.  He jumps up on people, he pulls hard on the leash and he barks at other dogs.  With a good training program, guidance from his new family, exercise and ongoing socialization he will be a wonderful family member.  Apollo needs a strong commitment from his new family, you must have the time and patience for him.

Maren was surrendered to us as her elderly caregivers were moving and could not keep her.  She has not had any training or guidance, nor has she been exposed to the world around her.  She will need a family who will commit to training to help her build her confidence and of course to learn good canine manners.  It is important that Maren has ongoing socialization and is introduced to the sounds, sights and smells of the world.  It is her families job to guide her, work with her daily, provide lots of playtime, exercise, love and care.

Malakai came to us as an owner surrender.  He was much loved by his previous family which included young children and a female GSD.  Malakai can be stand offish when he comes to meeting new people, but give him the chance to sniff you and feel comfortable and he will quickly become your best friend.  He has leash manners which results in him pulling quite hard when walking.  Our volunteers are working with him but his will need to also be addressed by his new family.  Training is so very important, it will help Malakai  learn what is expected of him, it will help with socialization along with build a bond with his new family. Ask to meet this handsome boy to see if he is a good fit for your family.

Bentley is a handsome Shepherd mix.  He is a fun dog that enjoys running around and playing.  He does have some training, but will require more training with his new family.  Training helps both the dog and humans learn more about each other, work better together and creates a bond. 

Meet Chip! Chip is an older gentleman who found himself on hard times after his former family fell ill and could no longer provide for him. He was surrendered to a local shelter. Luckily, for all involved, we were able to provide a caring home in his hour of need. He is now resting comfortably in the home of a very loving and compassionate care giver. Because of his advanced age, Chip is very arthritic, a little unstable on his feet and requires joint medication. A home with no steps is a must and limited non-slip floors are preferred. Currently, we are trying to take a little excess weight off of him. However, even with limited mobility, he manages to get around. Chip loves going for car rides and bonds very quickly to his favorite people. He is very charming and wants nothing more than to be loved and spend quiet time with his favorite people.

Midnight cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little girl, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses.  Midnight has a lot to learn about going a good canine citizen and will require training.  Please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family - puppies are a ten to twelve year commitment.  Puppies are full of energy and can be mischievous – they will whine, have accidents, get into things, and chew on inappropriate things.  With time, patience, guidance and training, Midnight will become even more of an amazing girl than she already is.  Please inquire if Midnight sounds like a good match for your family.

Josie along with her sister were surrendered to us as their human dad is in hospice care.  He loves his girls very much and wants them to have a wonderful life.  Josie is understandably quite confused with the recent changes, but will adjust with time.  Josie was examined by our vet and found to be what he believes may be cataracts.  She will be seen by an eye specialists and receive proper care.  Please consider Josie, a family of her own will certainly help her move forward and settle in.

Fritz found himself in a shelter for reasons unknown.  He is now safely in our care waiting patiently to find his forever family.  He is a calmer boy with a friendly disposition.  He does have some good manners but will require formal obedience training so that he can be the best he can be.  Training is so very important, not just for the dog but also for their families.

Abigail was surrendered as her elderly family could not manage the energy of a young dog.  Abigail is so very sweet and pretty.  She does have a lot of puppy energy that will need to be directed by providing her with exercise, playtime, long walks and of course training.  A young energetic dog takes a lot of patience and time.  Please be sure you have the time and are ready to make a commitment to Abigail for her lifetime.

Kimba was surrendered to us as her previous family stated she had too much energy and shed too much.  She lived in her previous home with smaller dogs and did well.  She has not been around children or cats so we do not know if she is good with them.  She is a friendly girl and oh so beautiful.  She will need a family that is willing to exercise and play with her, this will help her burn some energy.  Of course training is necessary.

Traeger was surrendered to a shelter and needed out quickly due to lack of space.  MAGSR responded to the plea to help Traeger who is very frightened and confused at this time.  His previous family stated he was great with cats, but we have not tested him.  He did well with the dogs he met and played with at the shelter.  His previous family also stated that he can be protective of his person when walking on the street.  This will need to be addressed with training, helping him build confidence and having a strong, experienced handler. 

Sadly Sadie recently lost her human dad as he unexpectedly passed away and her human mom is disabled and hospitalized.  As you can imagine Sadie is quite confused as to why she is not with her family, in a strange place with people she does know.  We are giving her time to settle in and adjust to her new surroundings.  She has been skittish with us but once she is comfortable with our volunteers she comes out of her shell and enjoys romping around.  Sadie would do best in a home that is not very busy as she is somewhat of a flight risk as she continues to look for her family.  With time and patience she will overcome this and become bonded to her new family.  
 

Keily was surrendered to the shelter as her family had too many dogs in their home.  Keily is only 6 months old and has a lot to learn in order to be the best canine she can be.  She has a lot of energy which is typical of dog her age.  She needs someone to commit to taking her to training so that she can learn good canine manners.  A family that is active, will spend time taking her for walks, playtime and of course commit to her for her lifetime.

Gypsy cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little girl, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses.  Gypsy has a lot to learn about going a good canine citizen and will require training.  Please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family - puppies are a ten to twelve year commitment.  Puppies are full of energy and can be mischievous – they will whine, have accidents, get into things, and chew on inappropriate things.  With time, patience, guidance and training, Gypsy will become even more of an amazing girl than she already is.  Please inquire if Gypsy sounds like a good match for your family.

Tasha found herself in a shelter for reasons unknown by us.  She is a friendly girl, enjoys spending time with her people, going for walks/runs and lots of play time.  She would benefit greatly from training to teach her good manners, proper leash skills and to help create the bond with her family. Ask to meet beautiful, sweet Tasha.

Keizy was surrendered to a shelter as her family had too many dogs in their home.  She is a beautiful, young and friendly GSD, she will benefit from training to help be the best she can be.  She needs to  brush up on her leash skills, this is something her new family can spend time working with her on.   Being more petite she is much easier to handle.  Keizy is looking for a family who will commit to her for her lifetime.

Meet Chief! He's a young, exuberant boy. He was surrendered to a shelter when his family reported they could not handle him. However, he has had very minimal training. This is a perfect example of why training is so important.  His former family stated he was good with children and cats, but we have not yet tested him with either.

While he is still very new to us, we will provide updates as we learn more about him. As of now, though he is still somewhat bewildered about what has happened, we are happy to report that he is doing well
and is warming to us while we get to know each other. Stay tuned!
