Cooper
ADOPTED 07/27/2024!
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?
Charming Cooper joined the MAGSR family as an owner-surrender with two of his littermates - Buster and Buddy. Although his previous family loved him, they were overwhelmed by the number of dogs in their care and decided that it was in the boys' best interest to find rescue placement. So, they made the decision to surrender the pups to MAGSR. We know this was a very difficult decision, but we also know that their family wanted these boys to have endless love, attention, and opportunities. We promised Cooper's family that we would find him an incredible forever family that would cherish him for a lifetime.
Cooper is an intelligent and energetic guy. Quick to pick-up new skills, Cooper is drawn to a calm, confident handler that provides leadership and structure. Although Cooper is an amazing guy, it can take him a few minutes to warm up to new people and situations. Once given the time to adjust and build trust, Cooper relaxes and responds well to the handler. Having lived in a home with other dogs and older kids, Cooper did well with the pack and enjoyed the company of all members of his family. As is true of his brothers, Cooper is crate trained and understands that the crate is a safe and calm place. Cooper will thrive in an environment that has structure, routine, and leadership. As a young guy, Cooper has plenty of energy and enjoys his playtime. He is hoping to find an active forever family that will give him opportunities to learn and play during the day and plenty of snuggles at night. Moving forward, it is critical that Cooper's family provide him with continued socialization and training. These vital components are essential to his success. If your family is looking for a handsome, playful, and adventurous guy, ask to meet Cooper today!

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?
Handsome Hemi was picked up as a stray in the south. He was brought to a shelter while he waited for his family to come and claim him. Although this sweet guy waited patiently, no one stepped forward for Hemi. As shelters are struggling to meet the overwhelming needs within their communities, unfortunately, many dogs are euthanized as stray holds end. With an amazing personality, shelter staff worried that Hemi wouldn't survive if help didn't arrive fast. Recognizing that a rescue plea was his last chance, the call for help was sent out. Although we were also just about at capacity, team MAGSR knew that Hemi was special. We welcomed him to the family and promised to find him an amazing home.
Hemi is sweet as pie and quickly wins over everyone he meets. Clearly well socialized by someone along his journey, this guy is a lover. In our care he has also done well with other dogs. Although clearly a happy guy, Hemi is also a big, powerful guy. Social, but lacking manners, Hemi is just beginning to learn that those big paws of his belong on the ground. It is clear that general rules and expectations were not in place prior to his arrival. This has made Hemi a clean slate. Hemi is looking for a patient family that will both teach him the ins and outs of living in a household and the expectations of walking on a leash. He will thrive with structure, routine, and clear leadership in place. As he moves forward, it is critical that Hemi participate in training. Training will not only help Hemi create a strong bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen.
Unfortunately, we have just discovered that Hemi is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if he was kept on monthly preventatives. Heartworm treatment is expensive. However, we know that Hemi is more than worth the cost. He will be undergoing heartworm treatment and taking it easy over the next few months. Please consider donating to Hemi's care. Not only will your donation help Hemi move forward, but it will help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs. Hemi is hoping to find an incredible forever family that will have the time, patience, and leadership needed to help him succeed. If Hemi sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today!
Bubba
ADOPTED 07/20/2024!
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?
Bodacious Bubba and his pal, Suzie, were picked up as strays in the south. Although both dogs were friendly, when the pair arrived in an overcrowded shelter they were on borrowed time. Unfortunately, with numbers at critical levels in most places, many shelters are struggling to keep up with the number of animals needing placement. Hoping to ensure that as many animals as possible make it out alive, shelter staff are doing everything they can to transfer dogs to reputable groups. When Bubba and Suzie were not claimed by a family, they were both placed on the list to be euthanized. Knowing that these dogs deserved the chance to move forward, a plea went out to the GSD community for help. Although we were also sitting near capacity, we knew both dogs were out of options. Team MAGSR began working with other groups in the area to pull both dogs to safety at the last second.
Bubba is a stunning guy. Clearly an intelligent boy, Bubba is food motivated and is ready to start learning the ins and outs of becoming a good canine citizen. Friendly, adventurous, and active, Bubba, like his buddy, Suzie, has a healthy supply of shepherd energy. As a result, he is looking for a forever family that will exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. This will help Bubba develop the stability and confidence needed to become a healthy adult dog. In many ways a blank slate, Bubba does not yet know general leash manners or household expectations. However, as a motivated guy, we know he will pick up these skills quickly. Fortunately, our volunteers have already begun working with Bubba to develop some basic manners. Moving forward, training will be critical to Bubba's success. Not only will training help Bubba develop a healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Bubba is looking for an active family that will provide him with the structure, routine, and leadership that all GSDs crave. If this handsome boy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet Bubba today!
Andora
ADOPTED 07/10/2024!
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?
Amazing Andora and her "A Litter" puppies (Annette, Aime, and Abu) were dumped at a crowded shelter. With limited resources and overwhelming numbers, the shelter could not provide for this family. Although they did everything they could to help all members of the family move forward, shelter staff knew that without rescue help, this family would likely be euthanized as spaces are simply not available. Fortunately, rescue groups began working together to help the entire family move forward safely. When asked if we could provide a safe place to land, we were lucky to be able to team up with another local group in order to ensure that all members of the family moved forward safely.
Andora and her babies are friendly, interactive, and beyond lovable. As a pocket shepherd, Andora is in many ways a mini shepherd. Her lovely eyes and little tail wags simply fill your heart with joy. Having survived in a crowded, underfunded shelter, this little momma and her babies were granted a miracle and they know it. As Andora did an incredible job raising her babies, it is now time for her to move forward with a family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Clearly socialized with people, Andora has done well with everyone she has met. In new situations, she often needs a moment to adjust; however, with a little kindness and a slow hand, Andora can't help but start to wiggle and lean in for pets. This girl is clearly special. Now that she is in the MAGSR family, Andora is living with an incredible foster family that is teaching her the ins and outs of living in a loving home. She thrives with structure, routine, and leadership. Although Andora is learning about the joys of living in a home, it is important that her new family remember that she will need time to adjust to the routines and expectations of her forever family. With time and patience, we know Andora will meet with success. As Andora is still very young, it is important that her family enroll her in training. This is critical as training will provide Andora with opportunities to socialize, skill building strategies to build confidence, and the strategies needed to become a good canine citizen. Andora is looking for a forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this precious girl today!
Updates:We nicknamed her Dori so she answers to either one. She certainly is a joy to be around. She is fully housebroken and is very quiet unless she senses danger. She melts the heart of anyone she meets. She’s learning to walk on a leash, and how to properly walk through doorways. She has very few bad habits that need to change. She gets along well with children and other dogs. She will become attached to you very quickly. She would love to have a family that would love her as much as she loves them. This is one special little girl.
Babe
ADOPTED 07/07/2024!
Good With Kids: Likely
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Emmie and her seven adorable babies (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, Cal, Murray, and Babe) were dumped at an overcrowded shelter in the south. Although Emmie knew that her future was uncertain, she also knew that the 7 little ones (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, Cal, Murray, and Babe) that she brought with her were also in danger. As puppy season is in full swing, many furry families of all sizes are finding themselves in tough situations where, unfortunately, many animals do not make it out alive. Fortunately, for this special family, shelter staff began working with a network of rescues to find options, a loving foster family, and the medical support needed to move forward. MAGSR was lucky to have so many people pulling together to help this family move forward into our care. We are honored to move them forward.
Emmie and her pups have been lucky to have lived in a loving foster family. This gave them all the opportunity to learn some of the ins and outs of living in a home. All of the babies did an incredible job with their foster family and have since moved onto foster homes where they are getting additional love and attention in smaller groups. Babe is friendly, interactive, and a snuggle bug. She loves her furry siblings but is also happy to hang out with her people. Having already begun socializing with new people, animals, and in new environments, Babe is already building a solid foundation. It is imperative that her family continue this process as she moves forward. Babe, like all dogs, will thrive in a home with structure, routine, and leadership. With the right set-up, we know this little love will be impressive. Although Babe is special, 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, Babe will become a stable and confident adult. Babe is looking for a forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!
Updates:Babe is an absolute fluffy love bug. She is content to sit quietly and watch all the action in the house. But don’t let her demure demeanor fool you - she will jump in to get into some rowdy play with her siblings too. She is working on her potty training outside but is definitely a work in progress. She is beginning to recognize those expectations but hey, she is only 10 weeks old, so she misses sometimes. Typical puppy - messes are expected! She is also starting to work on leash walking a bit in the yard. A whole bunch of neighborhood kiddos stopped by the fence to meet her yesterday and she was a friendly and social little gal, happy to kiss and receive rubs from many many little hands.
Babe is growing growing growing! Her ears seem to be heading horizontal, on their way to vertical we think. If she is not playing with our one year old GSD, she is knocked out rebooting and re-energizing. She consistently goes potty outside. She sleeps very nicely in a crate in our bedroom from about 10:00 to 5:30.
Babe is very curious and loves the challenge of puzzles with treats in them! You will often find her with a stuffed animal or nylabone, or if left in the kitchen, a croc, in her mouth. We are really looking forward to getting her out for walks once she finishes her shots – she loves to meet people and is very social! She is ready and eager to explore the great big world outside of our fenced yard.
If you are looking for a snuggable, smart, curious fun-loving little lady, Babe may be just the pup you are looking for!
Libby
ADOPTED 06/29/2024!
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?
Animal control officers were asked to do a welfare check on a set of dogs in the south. When they arrived, they found three dogs living in deplorable conditions on tie-outs outside in the elements. All three dogs were extremely emaciated, covered in filth, heartworm positive and in need of immediate care. Due to the condition of the dogs, all three were confiscated instantly and brought into a shelter. Upon their arrival, staff members at the shelter began working with the dogs to tend to their most critical needs. However, they knew that these dogs would need a lot of help to move forward. Due to overwhelming numbers of dogs in need, all three dogs found themselves on the list to be euthanized as soon as their case was cleared. Another rescue was able to pull two of the dogs. However, lovely Libby was left without many options. Fortunately, our team learned of Libby's plight just hours before she was scheduled to cross and was able to move her to the safety of the MAGSR family.
Libby is one special little lady. Although scared and unsure in the overcrowded shelter environment, Libby did well with a gentle hand, some extra patience, and plenty of treats. When out of her run and away from the chaos of the shelter environment, staff members noted that Libby has a calm demeanor and independence that make her a unique and endearing companion. Although Libby likes some time and space to herself, she is equally interested in interacting with her human companions. Libby can be shy and timid when first meeting new people, but when given the opportunity to develop trust, her loyalty knows no bounds. When around other dogs at the shelter, Libby maintained her polite composure and gentle interest. Before introducing her to any new furry companions, we have been giving Libby time to rest and heal with an incredible foster family. This has given her the opportunity to learn all about warm baths, good family, comfortable beds, and the routine of living in a home. We have promised Libby that we will make sure her forever family fills her world with endless days of comfort.
Although she has been working toward recovery, when Libby first arrived in our care she was severely emaciated, filled with worms, suffering from a bad upper respiratory infection, and dealing with untreated heartworms. Since her arrival, our team has been working hard to make sure that Libby receives the attention and care she deserves to move forward in safety and comfort. Although Libby's medical care is expensive, we know she is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating to Libby's continued medical care. Not only will your donation help Libby continue to move forward, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs into the MAGSR family. When ready, Libby will be looking for a patient and loving forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?
Updates:There are some people and animals in the world that are simply filled with sunshine. Joy, happiness, and endless smiles are contagious when they are near. Libby is one of those special individuals, she embodies sunshine. Playful, inquisitive, and a complete goofball, Libby loves to bounce around after a ball and flops over quickly for a belly rub every chance she can get. It seems that no matter what comes her way, Libby's light just keeps shining even when it seems like there is an obstacle at every turn.
Over the last several months, our incredible team has been working hard to help Libby overcome several obstacles so that she could share her light with others. Obstacle number one - severe malnutrition. Libby joined the rescue at a mere 35lbs. Every bone in her body was visible; we were worried she may be too far gone. Knowing she needed help, our team quickly began working to provide good nutrition and a balanced program to help Libby move forward. She steadily gained weight over a few months and is now a healthy size. This was a huge obstacle as other medical care needed to wait until Libby gained strength. Obstacle number two - poor socialization with people. With positive human interactions at a minimum before arriving at the shelter last Fall, Libby lacked confidence and needed help to become a good canine citizen. One of our incredible training partners, Mason Dixon K9 stepped up to help Libby overcome this obstacle. She benefited greatly from their balanced approach and has completed her basic training. Libby still needs a little time to adjust to new people and situations; however, once comfortable, this girl shines. She can't wait to show off her skills to her forever family! Obstacle number three - mammary tumors. During a visit to the vet in January, it was discovered that Libby had mammary tumors. Without hesitation, Libby was scheduled for and underwent surgery. Unsurprisingly, she handled recovery like a champ. A lucky girl, everything came back benign and Libby began preparing for her next challenge. Obstacle number four - tooth damage. Having been starved prior to her arrival, Libby found herself desperate to fill her belly with basically anything she could find; this resulted in significant tooth damage to her front teeth on her lower jaw. With some teeth worn completely down to the pulp, oral surgery was needed to help Libby find relief. Knowing this was critical to her quality of life, our team worked closely with our vetting partners to ensure that Libby received the care she needed. Libby underwent surgery and had 8 teeth removed. Once again, Libby handled her recovery like a champ. Another obstacle down, with one left to go - heartworm treatment. MAGSR knew this piece of Libby's recovery would significantly improve her overall health and well-being. Once clear, Libby would be free to explore the world, play with as many toys as she wanted, and get super excited when her family walked in the door. Libby underwent heartworm treatment throughout the Spring. She was monitored very closely by her foster and vetting team. Although a little more subdued than normal during that time, Libby continued to bring smiles with her attempted antics. Even though she was sore from the treatment, she still felt that a good belly rub was required on a daily basis. Libby's treatment is complete. Her final check-up in mid-July will hopefully result in an "all clear." Currently, she is rebuilding muscle, enjoying daily walks, and thrilled to be moving forward.
Libby has encountered one obstacle after another with grace. Her steady personality and endless sunshine have been constant throughout all that she has endured. Having survived so much, Libby is hoping to settle down with a family of her own very soon. If your home is looking for sunshine, look no further than lovely Libby.
Mikey
ADOPTED 06/29/2024!
Good With Kids: Likely
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Magic Mikey’ was a well loved family member, but due to some changes to the family, this poor fella found himself in an unfamiliar situation and in need of a new home. He is a beautiful, healthy and lively 3-year old GSD mix that did very well in his previous home with strangers, kids and other dogs, but as with most young dogs, tested the boundaries. He is potty trained (uses his muzzle to let you know he has to go out), is crate trained and loves his people. As we get to know him a little more, he would do very well with additional training and would excel as he is more than eager to please…Magic Mikey is eager to find the right FUR-ever family, and to lead him through the proper training and would 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 essentials - training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance.
If ‘MAGIC MIKEY’ sounds like the wonderful moments you would like to emBARK upon, please ask to add him to your family today!
Tink
ADOPTED 06/23/2024!
Good With Kids: Likely
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
The Neverland Litter (Hook, Pan, Wendy, Tootles, Pockets, Cubby, Nana, Nibs, Rufio, and Tink) was born on a property that is known for breeding and selling puppies. When these babies turned six weeks old, the owner dropped them along with a second litter at a shelter. Unfortunately, the shelter, like so many others, was sitting at critical capacity and knew they needed help moving the babies forward. Recognizing that a rescue would be the best option for these babies, a plea went out to GSD rescues up and down the coast for help. With puppy season in full swing, many groups are inundated with babies needing a safe place to move forward. When asked if we could welcome this group to the family, team MAGSR stepped forward.
The Neverland puppies are playful, interactive, and social puppies. Although they did not have the easiest start, they have had many different people in their corner since their arrival at the shelter. In the last few weeks, these babies have had many opportunities to start socializing with new people and in a variety of situations. Socialization is essential to their success; it is critical to their forever families continue this process. Living with some of our amazing foster families, these babies are learning the ins and outs of living in a home. They are learning all about the joys of good food, daily playtime, structure and routine. Although Tink and her siblings are beyond precious, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, and patience, we know that the Neverland Litter will grow up to become good canine citizens. If your family is ready to welcome terrific Tink into your home, ask to meet her today.
Updates:She now weighs in at 29lbs. She is crate trained and actually likes sleeping in her crate. She is potty trained but can still have an occasional accident if we’re not diligent on taking her out right after she eats or wakes up. She is a fast learning girl who can now sit, lay down, very patient during work hours, sits to wait for her food, loves to garden and is pretty good on the leash. She is also a fast little puppy who likes water in case someone is considering doing dog sport.
Talia
ADOPTED 06/23/2024!
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?
Talia and one of her pups were surrendered to an overcrowded shelter in the south. Unfortunately, as is true of so many owner surrenders, they were immediately added to the list for euthanasia. Her puppy was immediately adopted by a local family leaving this lovely girl alone and without options. Talia was not placed in the general population; instead, she went immediately to the euthanasia room. When we learned about Talia's fate, our team began working with other rescue groups in the south and began putting a plan in place. As luck would have it the stars aligned and we were able to pull Talia just hours before she was scheduled to cross.
Talia, or Tali as her foster family calls her, is a very special girl. It is very clear that humans have not always been kind to her; however, she still wants to interact and snuggle. We are always impressed by the level of resilience and gentleness of a dog who has been mistreated in the past. Talia is clearly a gentle soul who is looking for a patient family who will provide her with the structure and routine needed to move forward. A very submissive girl, Talia approaches most things hesitantly and needs a little time to adjust. When given this opportunity, she is able to meet with success. Once comfortable, Talia greets her people with little tail wags and wiggles. She gives the gentlest kisses and simply wants to be near you at all times. Well behaved in the household, Talia has impressed her foster family with how quiet and well behaved she has been so far. It is clear that this girl has been in a home before, but she is still learning all the ins and outs associated with household living. Her foster family is giving her the chance to slowly build these skills in a calm and positive manner. As Talia continues to move forward, she will benefit greatly from training. Not only will training help Talia develop a strong and healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen.
Unfortunately, we have learned that Talia is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided had her family provided her with monthly heartworm preventatives. As she moves forward, MAGSR will cover the entirety of Talia's heartworm treatment. Heartworm treatment is very expensive; however, this special girl is clearly worth the cost. Please consider donating to Talia's care. Not only will your donation help us provide Talia with everything she needs, but it will also help us continue to welcome medical dogs to the MAGSR family. Fortunately, Talia's treatment has already begun and she is handling this first step well. We can't wait to see this lovely girl continue to move forward. If you are looking for a little lady who is looking for plenty of adventures during the day and snuggles at night, ask to meet Talia today.
Updates:Talia, who is lovingly called Tali by her foster family, has been in her foster home for a few months. She has been very busy learning all the ins and outs of living in a home. At this time Tali is housebroken and crate trained. She thrives on routine and consistency. Preferring a quiet and calm environment, Tali loves to be near her people and is always up for a good snuggle and a belly rub. Her daily snuggle sessions bring her foster family endless giggles. Recognizing the importance of giving Tali positive experiences with new people, Tali was lucky and was chosen to participate in training with one of our training partners. This was an amazing opportunity for our lovely girl as it gave her the opportunity to work with new people and to build confidence. Tali knows several commands at this time but is always ready to learn more. With basic obedience in line, Tali has gained some needed confidence. However, it is still essential that her forever family continue this process in order to build a healthy bond together.
While Tali has been adjusting to her foster family, we have also been continuing to address her medical needs. Tali completed her first 60 days of heartworm treatment and moved into the next phase of her treatment. Tali has had the first of her melarsomine injections and is resting comfortably while this next stage of the process gets underway. Tali will be taking it easy over the next two months as her body needs time to rest and recover. Her foster family is keeping close tabs on her and making sure she has everything she needs. Heartworm treatment is very expensive. Please consider donating to Tali's care. Your donation will help Tali get the medical care needed to move forward as well as help other dogs with medical needs join the MAGSR family.
As Talia has made incredible strides over the last few months, she wanted to share her successes with everyone. Having arrived in MAGSR's care as a heartworm positive momma, we worked with Talia to complete heartworm treatment with one of our amazing veterinarians. Although this process did require that Talia limit her activity for a few months, this gorgeous girl did a fantastic job. Crate trained and housebroken, Talia navigated this rest period with grace. We are pleased to announce that heartworm treatment is complete and Talia's follow up tests are all clear! With this news in hand, one of our incredible training partners, Mason Dixon K9, welcomed Talia into their care to help her develop the skills needed to develop into a good canine citizen. A very intelligent girl, Talia has excelled with training. She knows several commands and is very responsive to the handler. With basic training already under her belt, Talia has gained confidence and has an understanding of the expectations needed to meet with success. As Talia has some strong GSD traits, this training has been critical to her success. As she moves forward, her forever family will need to continue training in order to build a strong and healthy bond with Talia; however, they will have a strong foundation to build upon. Due to her past, Talia continues to need some time to adjust to new people. Once comfortable, she is playful, affectionate, and an incredible cuddler. She adores her people and simply fills hearts with joy. Now that Talia is free to enjoy the life of a beloved dog, she cannot wait to find a family that will cherish her forever.
Sheppy
ADOPTED 06/22/2024!
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?
Handsome Sheppy was picked up as a stray and brought to a local shelter where he waited patiently for his family to come and claim him. Although he waited, no one came forward for Sheppy. Shelter staff were surprised as this social guy was clearly comfortable with people and did well around other dogs. Recognizing that Sheppy deserved a family that would love him for a lifetime, he was placed on the adoption floor and started looking for a match but with so many dogs looking for homes, he didn't find his match. Recognizing that shepherds are often more successful when adopted out through a breed specific rescue, Sheppy was transferred to the MAGSR family. We are excited to be able to help Sheppy move forward and find the perfect forever family.
Sheppy is a friendly and playful guy. He is a big fan of plushy toys and hopes that his forever family has plenty of them in the household. Sheppy has done a nice job in a large shelter and seems comfortable with other dogs. However, as is true of many shepherds, Sheppy has high-drive. He is looking for a household without cats or other small animals. Although clearly socialized with people, Sheppy did not receive the training needed to meet with success. He will need to learn leash manners and the importance of keeping his paws on the ground. Fortunately, our team has already begun working with Sheppy so that he better understands the ins and outs of becoming a good canine citizen. Training is essential for Sheppy's success. Training will not only help Sheppy develop a strong, healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a stable and confident canine citizen. Sheppy is looking for a forever family that will provide him with routine, structure, patience, and leadership. This set-up is crucial for success with all shepherds. If you are looking for an active, playful, and intelligent guy, look no further than Sheppy!
Updates:Sheppy is a GREAT dog! He is very smart, engaged, happy and eager to please. He knows lots of commands and really enjoyed the agility work in the indoor play-yard today. He loves to play ball and it was a really good training tool for him. He is gentle with treats and you can’t help smiling when you are playing with him. He is an absolute DELIGHT and will just be an amazing addition to any family!
Sheppy is a big sweet boy! He continues to learn his commands and knows sit, down, and "no". Most importantly, he is completely housebroken and he understands kennel and is crate trained - though he does have some separation anxiety. He is good with other dogs, people and children. He walks well on a leash and loves walks with our 5 year-old GSD Yuki. Sheppy does not quite realize how big he is and will try to sit in your lap, where he loves to give kisses to his people. He is a high energy dog and will benefit from an owner/family who enjoys being active. He is food motivated and responds well to correction and consequently he takes to training well.
