Dieter
ADOPTED 03/09/2019!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Dieter came to us from a not so good situation. He was used as a breeding dog, he was not provided with proper care or adequate living conditions. Thankfully after complaints and an investigation he, along with other dogs were confiscated. Dieter is now in our care where he is looking for a family that will provide him with a loving and warm home, where he means more to his family than just a stud. Dieter is learning to trust humans that are kind and caring, we suspect this is something he has not had before. He can be standoffish with new people, but our volunteers are working with him. He was known as the alpha of the pack, always checking on his fur family. He will need someone with GSD experience, who will commit to working with him and showing him that humans can be caring, loving people.
Updates:Dieter is a very scared boy who seems to be the victim of physical abuse on top of the extreme neglect so he is VERY fearful of people. He was caked with his own feces and in terrible physical condition on intake. Quick movements or unexpected touching of him in any way make him jump and shake. He's slow to walk and will frequently walk in front of you and block forward motion with his body. Through all this, he is a sweet dog, showing no aggression towards humans. He takes treats very well and seems grateful for the kindness. He likes to have his head or on his body rubbed, as long as you are careful around his ears due to a severe double ear infection. Dieter is okay being brushed, so we continue removing the matted fur from him. Dieter has shown no aggression toward any of the other dogs and seems to be more comfortable being around them than people.
Dieter is clearly feeling better after the extraction of 4 bad teeth, and continued treatment for the ear infections. Dieter seems comfortable around other dogs but high energy pups still make him uneasy. He's also getting much more comfortable around people, moving toward some of the volunteers for the first time rather than just leaning on his handler. He sat and laid down while out on the leash for the first time, so he's now more at ease in these surroundings. We're seeing he has some training, doing a sit for one of the volunteers handling him. This big boy still has a long way to go, but with love and training, he will reward that time tenfold with loyalty and companionship. Could you find that love in your heart for Dieter?
Rambo
ADOPTED 03/04/2019!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 16
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Rambo came to us as owner surrender as his former person was not able to continue to care for him. Rambo is a friendly boy, although he is unsettled with the recent changes in his life. He needs time to adjust to all of the changes. He can be mouthy when things he shouldn't have are taken away from him. Training, of course, will help him learn manners, work on any unwanted behaviors and help him settle into life with a new family. He lived with a cat in his previous home and we are told he did fine. He is currently in a foster home being given time to adjust to losing his home and family. His foster will provide an update soon.

ADOPTED 03/03/2019!
Good With Kids: Unknown

One of the largest puppy mill busts found hundreds of German Shepherd's living in absolute filth and in horrendous condition. Ankle deep mud and feces mixed with urine, no adequate shelter, lacking food and clean water is how these dogs were left to live, many for years. The urgent call was made and MAGSR knew we had to take in as many as possible. We now have 38 dogs that have a multitude of medical needs that we are addressing, and they need to learn to trust humans. All dogs are scared, some are shut down, but our volunteers and vets will get them on their road to recovery. It will be awhile before these dogs are ready for adoption, so please be patient and watch for updates.
An undertaking of this size for an all-volunteer rescue is quite a task, but one we are meeting it head on. Many of the dogs require medical boarding so that they can receive the best possible care. We are committed to providing everything they need, not only medically, but emotionally. Our medical costs are going to be at an amount we have never seen before. We need your help, the dogs need your help. Please donate, your donation will go towards their ongoing care, medical needs, emotional needs and help them on their road to recovery and a brighter future.
Acton
ADOPTED 03/02/2019!
Good With Kids: Older Kids Only
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Acton was a stray to a shelter, so we have no prior history. During his time with us he has been friendly with our volunteers and did well with dog introductions. Training is imperative with all dogs that are adopted from us, they need to learn manners and become accustomed to their home and family life.
Updates:Some great things about Acton - he loves people. He really loves snuggles and will get up nice and close for attention. Acton loves to play ball and definitely knows what toys are. When he needs to go potty, Acton will let you know. When on a walk, Acton always talks care of his business and is really good about redirecting if needed. Once the household is settled, Acton will also settle down and relax. This guy is a great companion for someone who likes to take long walks and would likely be good for a runner.

Melina
ADOPTED 03/02/2019!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Melina came to us from a not so good situation. She was used as a breeding dog, she was not provided with proper care or adequate living conditions. Thankfully after complaints and an investigation she, along with other dogs were confiscated. Melina is now in our care where she is looking for a family that will provide her with a loving and warm home, where she means more to her family than just a puppy machine. Melina is shy and somewhat skittish of humans, but you can see just how much she wants to be loved on by humans. She's a dog's dog and seems will need canine companionship to thrive as she comes out her shell with other dogs. A dog to play with in the home would be the best match for her. She of course will need a patient family that will show her being a part of a caring family is a wonderful thing. Please ask about Melina, give her what she has never experienced before...a loving family, a soft bed, a warm home, guidance and structure. She's waiting for you.
Updates:Melina is settling into her foster home. She has has no accidents in her crate and takes care of business as soon as she goes outside. Her foster mom feels it is safe to say that Melinda is crate trained and housebroken. Melina cowers and tries to bolt when getting out of her crate and is considered a high flight risk so extra precautions must be taken with her. Melina walks well on a leash but hits the ground if startled by a noise or sudden moves. She cries some when left alone. Melina is looking for a quiet home where she'll have someone who will treat her with the respect and love she deserves. If Melina sounds like a good fit for your home, and you have the patience to take your time with her to allow her to trust you, then ask to meet her.
Riptide
ADOPTED 02/24/2019!
, 
Good With Kids: Yes, older kids
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Riptide was originally adopted from a shelter, where he then went on to live his life on a chain with not enough food and no shelter. This is why it is so important that anyone wanting to adopt a dog is checked out by shelters and rescues. Riptide was promised a better a life when the shelter adopted him but that is not what he received. That is all changed now that he is with MAGSR, we will make sure he finds a loving and caring family, that can provide him a home, a comfy bed, good nutrition and care. Riptide's name is very fitting, he is a high energy boy that is not sure what to do with new found freedom from the chain. He will need training and structure, along with lots of exercise.
Updates:Unfortunately, Riptide has been returned to us as his adopter fractured her ankle and is non weight bearing. With Riptide’s high energy, she was not able to provide his daily exercise requirements. Riptide was also not doing well with one of their teenage twin daughters. He was fine with one of them. He has been to obedience training, but his new family is required to complete training with him. Training is a great way to learn more about each other, how to work together and create a bond.
Hello there! My name is Riptide. I've gone to two lovely homes now, they loved me, but they couldn't handle my energy. I am so afraid I may never have a home of my own. You see, the first part of my life, I was out on a chain and wasn't shown puppy manners. It seems like all that energy has built up and I've never gotten it out. I have had some training now, so I know sit, down, come and I walk well on a leash. Everyone says I'm a nice boy, I just need a runner, or someone to work me out and train me for cool stuff, things like agility, rally or nose work, or maybe give me another dog to play with so I can get this energy out! They say I'm easy to train because I'm food motivated - I say who doesn't like food? I also love playing in the kiddie pool they have at the kennel where I stay for now, but they said it's too cold now. One lady said something about dock diving, I don't know what that is, but if I get to go in the water, I'm all for it! If you're looking for a pup to do something active with, ask to meet me, you might be just what I'm looking for!
Lilly
ADOPTED 02/24/2019!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Lilly was on the run for sometime, but was finally caught and brought into a rescue. Wanting Lilly to have the best chance at finding a home it was decided she would be better served by a GSD rescue. Lilly is friendly, but a little unsettled, which is to be expected. She is being given time to settle in, watch for updates.
Updates:Lilly is setting into her foster home nicely. She loves her doggy beds. She lays in her doggy bed when she's not around her human, and at night when her humans go to bed - she lays in her doggy bed all night. When her humans move, she pops up and comes over to say Hi and follows around the house. Lilly loves to go outside for walks and is very easy to walk. She's very food motivated and loves when she gets treats. Lilly likes dogs of her own size and is somewhat shy around new people but will warm up with treats. When she first came to her foster home, she did not want to get in vehicles, and whined, but by the third day, she jumped in the car and was excited to go for a ride. Lilly is looking for a fur-ever home.

Updates:Lottie is a gentle soul that has endured way more than any dog should have in her short life. She is a work in progress. She should remain on leash in and outside the home as she still skittish and is gaining confidence of new surroundings. She bonds very quickly and has shown some signs of separation anxiety. When Lottie is anxious or stressed she tends to jump up on her handler for reassurance. She will need a patient adopter that is willing to work through this with her. She isn't fond of a crate and requires some assistance and treats to go in. Lottie will require another dog in the home as she gets very anxious when she is completely alone and will whine and bark until her human returns. Lottie walks well on a leash and enjoys walks. We are diligently working on house breaking but aren't quite there yet although she does not soil her crate at night. She does sleep soundly in her crate for up to 9 hours as long as she is in the room with her human and doggie companions. She enjoys snuggling and is happiest snuggled in the lap of a human. Lastly, Lottie is extremely treat motivated, loves peanut butter and marrow bones. If interested in meeting Lottie, please contact us.
