Jixer found himself in a shelter needing some to spring him and that we did.  He is a nice friendly boy who gets along with other dogs he has met.  This handsome boy is looking for a commitment for his lifetime from his new family.  A life full of love, proper care, and of course training.

Gatlin, puppy to a female GSD and male Great Pyrenees, was dumped at a shelter.  Gatlin cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little boy, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses.  Gatlin 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 10-12 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, Gatlin will become even more of an amazing boy than he already is.  If interested and he sounds like a good match for your family, please submit an adoption application for Gatlin!

Oscar is the litter mate to Sargeant.  He was purchased from the breeder when he was 8 weeks old.  His former person has kept outside 24/7.  He is a friendly boy, but is lacking in manners as he has had no guidance from his humans.  Thankfully we were able to rescue Oscar from living outside with no human interaction.  Oscar will need a family who has the patience to deal with a 1 year old puppy who is a blank slate.  He will require a commitment from his family to take him to training and guide him to be the best he can be.  He has so much to learn, but with the smarts of a GSD he should catch on in no time.

Lars came to us as an owner surrender sadly after his former family got a puppy to replace him.  Well it was his lucky day as it is obvious that Lars had not been well cared for.  Upon his arrival his fur was filthy, skin dry and missing patches of fur.  This gentle boy is now receiving vet care and proper nutrition along with supplements.  It is obvious he did not live indoors and most likely was kept on a hard rough surface as he does calloused elbows.  Lars deserves a family that will show him what having a real family is all about.  A comfortable bed, good nutrition, proper care and lots love.

Booker came to us from a shelter.  He is underweight at only 55 lbs, now that he eating regular nutritious meals he will start to put on weight.  He has missing fur from a severe Flea infestation.  He has been treated for the fleas and is now on medication to help heal his skin.  His beautiful black coat will be looking great in no time.  Booker needs a family who can see past his current rough condition knowing that with proper care his exterior will shine the same  as his personality and heart does.  Please show Booker that their are humans in this world that are kind and loving, ask to meet him. 

Rainee made her way to us after finding herself in a shelter, we have no idea why this beautiful girl ended up there.  She just arrived in our care so we still are getting to know her.  She has been friendly with the people she has met and seems to want to please.  Of course she will need to go to training with her new family so that she can be a well behaved family member.

Guinness had a rough start in life.  He lived with 7 Children that were allowed to torment, tease and hit him.  The adults punished him with a shock collar at full strength, hit him in the face, sprayed water at him, put him in a crate that was much too small for him or chained outside. Guinness is with a caring foster who is working with him as he learns to trust humans, especially when it comes to his food and toys.  He is loving and friendly but does require positive training and interaction.  He enjoys playing and going for walks which of course helps burn off some of that puppy energy.

Sommer we believe is a Shusky (German Shepherd Husky mix) with beautiful blue eyes.  She found herself in a shelter along with her mom Adele and sister Faye.  She is somewhat shy but her foster is working with her on building her confidence.  Training with her new family will help a lot with this, along with socialization.  She is looking for her forever home with a family who show her love.  Please remember that she is a puppy and will require patience and commitment from her family.

Logan was purchased off of Craigslist, when the purchaser met him she was appalled by his condition. She immediately reached out to rescue to get Logan the help he needed.

At only 4 months old it was obvious he had been living in a filthy outdoor pen. His smell was very foul, fur was filthy, he had a very round belly and carpal subluxation of all 4 limbs.

He was immediately seen by a vet, his fecal came back with severe hookworms and treatment was started. Sadly 2 days later Logan became quite ill, he was rushed back to the vet where he was diagnosed with parvovirus.

This sweet pup is now fighting for his life in the ICU at the vet hospital. Please keep Logan in your thoughts and prayers.

Harmony was found as a stray and ended up in a shelter.  She is missing a rear paw which appears to be from an old injury.  This does not slow her down, she can run and play as well as any 4 pawed dog.  She is friendly and very much enjoys a good belly rub.  Harmony will need training to help her overcome her dislike of vacuums, hairdryers, etc.  This can be easily dealt with by putting her away when these items are in use and of course ongoing training.  Harmony will make a loving companion for a very lucky family.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.  

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.  

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.
