Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Sean and his brother Shane are as cute as can be.  We know mom is a GSD but we have no idea what breed dad was.  These cute little bundles of joy have so much too learn and will require a patient family who can handle all that comes with puppy love.  They will have accidents, they will chew and get into things they shouldn't, they will keep you up at night and require ongoing socialization with other dogs and people.  Puppy training is a great start to a well behaved pup.  Please be sure you able to make a commitment to him for his lifetime.

Update: Sean is  a smart boy who loves attention and giving lots of kisses.  We have been working on housebreaking and he is doing great.  He loves playing with toys, getting treats and of course meal times.

Faye found herself in a shelter along with her sister Sommer and mother Adele.  The condition they were in made it obvious that they were not well cared for.  All were covered in fleas and underweight.  Faye is now in a foster home receiving proper care, nutrition and love.  She will benefit from guidance, consistency and training.  This will help build her confidence, teach her good manners and bond with her family.

Bear found himself in a shelter and we cannot imagine why.  He is such a nice boy, very laid back and nothing seems to phase him.  He is good with other dogs that he has met and enjoys time with people.  Ask to meet this big handsome fella, he could be your new bff.

Jake came to us as an owner surrender as his family could not find anywhere to live that would allow Jake.  His family was heartbroken.  Jake was their 1 1/2 year old child's best friend, he had been with him since the baby was born.  He is a friendly, loving boy who enjoys other dogs and spending time with his people.  He loves the outdoors, going for walks and playtime.  One of his favorite games is playing keep away when you run after him.  Although he is enjoying the comforts of a foster home, he would love to have a forever family.

This handsome boy made his way to us as his family is moving and not able to take him with them.  He was much loved and well cared for.  In his previous home he lived with 2 young children.  Titan enjoys the company of other dogs.  He rides well in the car, is housebroken and crate trained.  He does need work on his leash manners but does correct easily when pulling.  Titan would be a good fit for almost any family.

Kit Kat is doing great with adapting to her foster home, with her cohabitant female lab and a bunny.  She doesn’t seem to have a prey drive, as she shows no interest in the bunny.  She is very sweet and is quick to warm up to new people.  I’m amazed at how fast she picks up basic commands and learns the routines of a new environment.  She came into rescue with Parasites and a respiratory infection although she is improving every day and has great appetite, which should help with her being a bit underweight.  She seems new to being on a leash, so I’m working on her leash manners, although she is picking up the routine and processes quickly.  She has no food aggression issues, and does well in a crate.  She is housebroken, and will kindly let you know when she needs to go.  She loves being by your side, and will follow you around, seeking attention and waiting for direction.  If you’re looking for snuggle buddy, that will provide unconditional love, give Kit Kat a chance.

Bella made her way to us from us a shelter.

She was surrendered to the shelter due to ongoing allergies/skin issues. She is now under the care of our vets who are treating her, she has also been switched to a grain free diet.

She has made great improvements medically, but still has a way to go. We are hopeful with the care that she is receiving we will get this under control.

Bella is so sweet and loving, in her previous home she lived with 6 children and other dogs.

Julie was adopted from a shelter when she was just a puppy, sadly she somehow ended up back at the shelter 3 years later.  Julie is an energetic girl, it is obvious her former family did not spend time training with her.  Training is so very important as it provides a well balanced dog who knows what is expected of them and teaches them good manners.  It is never too late for training and Julie is eager to learn.  

Sweet Lucy, how such a friendly and loving dog ended up at a shelter is unknown.  Lucy loves everyone she meets, she greets them with tail wags and tries solicit belly rubs.  Another dog to play with is lots of fun, or a family that will engage in playtime, long walks and lots of cuddle time would make Lucy very happy.

Layla came to us as an owner surrender as she did not enjoy sharing her home with cats.  They were just too much fun to chase which they did not appreciate.  Other than cats she will happily share her home with other dogs.  She will require training and a family who set boundaries and provide guidance as she learns what is expected of her.  She is young and eager to learn.

Hayden is a calm, easy going boy.  He lost his family and home as they had way too many pets, so he was surrendered to a shelter.  He lived in his previous home with dogs of all sizes, including Chihuahuas.  Hayden would love to have a family of his own, a place to call home where he can relax on a comfy bed, spend time with his family, go on walks and feel safe.  

Reggie came to us from a local shelter. He's a good looking, young, exuberant, energetic  boy that is eager to learn about life. He appears to not have had much in the way of training but is a quick learner. He is outgoing and fun to be around with people he is used to but can sometimes be unsure of new people depending on the situation.

With that said, we are working on socializing him and teaching him how to properly conduct himself. He loves to go for rides in a vehicle and does so quietly. He also loves to play ball but can be a hard chewer. We are confident that he will thrive in a group training program and will provide updates as we learn more about him.

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.

Maya found herself at a shelter for reasons unknown.  She now has another chance at a better life.  She is very sweet and laid back.  She has good manners and walks nicely on a leash.  

Kolbi was adopted from a shelter at 3 months old and found herself back at the shelter 1 year later.  We are unsure what happened during that year.  She can be timid with new people and will keep her distance, but given time she comes around.  She enjoys the company of other dogs, especially those that will engage her in playtime.  Kolbi is in a foster home, settling in and getting use to her surroundings.  Watch for updates from her foster family.

Mystique, a beautiful, young girl looking for her forever home and family.  She is settling into her foster home, getting to know the resident dogs and her foster family.  She is a blank slate, but ready to learn all that she needs to know to become a well mannered family member.  Watch for updates from her foster family.

Farrah came to us from a local shelter. The shelter staff told us that she was very sweet and wow, were they right! Once she warms up to you, she will give little kisses. Though Farrah is a little timid in the noisy kennel environment, she is still pretty outgoing even after all the change she has been through recently. She doesn't appear to have been taught any commands. But she is quick to learn and is very inquisitive about what is expected of her and what she is being exposed to. Farrah rides quietly in a vehicle once she jumps in. She doesn't seem to understand what toys are about which is kind of sad. But we are confident she will learn in no time. She also met an adolescent boy today while we at the shelter and she was fine with him. Again, she was curious; just taking in the world around her. Though she is estimated to be approximately 4 years old, in some ways she acts much younger and somewhat puppy-like at times. 

She was introduced to two MAGSR alums today; Snowy (seen receiving kisses from Farrah) and Karma (smaller white and cream mix) and she really liked both of them. She was very comfortable around both and she would do well in a home with a well mannered dog who she can learn from.

Woodrow along with his brother Luther have not had the best of care, but through their years of neglect they have been best buddies and the one constant in their lives.  These boys are very bonded and would not do well separated, they must be adopted as a pair.  The boys are settling into their foster home together and experiencing a life of love and comfort that they so deserve.

Woodrow is about 30 lbs underweight, he also is missing fur with sores on his body which the vet feels is caused by a Flea infestation which caused dermatitis.  He is now receiving the care and nutrition he so desperately deserves and is under the care of our vet.  We think he is very handsome and will only be even more so once his fur grows back and he gains some much needed weight.

Luther along with his brother Woodrow have not had the best of care, but through their years of neglect they have been best buddies and the one constant in their lives.  These boys are very bonded and would not do well separated, they must be adopted as a pair.  The boys are settling into their foster home together and experiencing a life of love and comfort that they so deserve.

Luther is stunning, although his coat and skin are dry at this time the good nutrition he is now receiving will make a big difference.

Magda came to us from a shelter so we have no information about her past.  We do know that she is a sweet, friendly girl looking to the future with her new family.  She needs to put on some weight, with good nutrition it will also help with her dry skin.  Watch for updates from her foster family.
