Onyx
ADOPTED 05/05/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Onyx was adopted from us as 9 month old puppy. She had lived with her adoptive family for just over 4 years. Onyx had a run in with the neighbors small dogs so her adopters decided to return her. Knowing that Onyx would be housed at the kennel, as we have no available foster homes without dogs, they still decided that was the best place for her. I can't imagine that Onyx thinks being a kennel away from her family is the best place for her. At this time we do not know if Onyx is good with larger dogs as she has just been returned to us. We are giving her time to adjust to losing her family and her home, once we feel she has settled in we will do proper dog introductions. Onyx is very sweet with people, although a little cautious at first meeting them. She lived with children in her prior home. Onyx doesn't deserve what her family did to her, with proper containment, making sure she is not able to escape open doors and with training things could have been worked out.
Solomon
ADOPTED 05/05/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Solomon came to us as an owner surrender. Unfortunately his former family have their hands very full with medical needs, this left Solomon home alone for too long. He was very much loved and well cared for. He is now looking for a new family, one that will love and care for him as much as his last family has. Solomon is a stunning, large, all black male with the shiniest coat. In his previous home he lived with young children and another male GSD. He does need some basic obedience training, not only will this help him learn good manners, but it will also help to create a bond with his new family.
Updates:The past six months with Solomon have been an absolute blessing. Him and our female German Shepherd could not be a better match and are always together. Where one is, you will see the other. Solomon completed his beginner class through Dauntless and is currently half way through intermediate. He absolutely loves playing fetch, taking naps, chasing his sister female shepherd through the house, and laying with his person. He walks right in his crate and when we are in our room will just hang out in there.
Solomon is absolutely in love with our god children. When they come over he loves playing the game Tag with them. He is very gentle with them and will lay with them or run with them throughout the house.
He has been the perfect addition to the family. I am getting emotional typing this as I am thinking to myself “who really saved who?”
All the best-
Kate and Tyler Coburn
Allie
ADOPTED 05/03/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Allie and her sister Aria came to us from a shelter where they had been surrendered. We are told that mom is a purebred GSD and dad is purebred Lab. At 16 weeks old both girls have a whole lot to learn. It is never too soon to start basic obedience training, as socialization with other dogs and people is very important, along with learning good puppy manners. Puppies will chew things, have accidents, get into things and have lots of energy, so please be sure you have the time and patience it takes to raise a puppy.
Updates:Allie is doing great in her foster home. She is definitely a puppy. Allie loves the resident children and follows them around. When she gets excited, she will jump but she is easily corrected. Allie is working on housebreaking and has been getting the idea about going outside. She enjoys chewing her bone and doesn't mind her crate. If you are looking for a fun, a loving puppy like Allie is for you.
Allie has settled right in to her foster home. She is a playful puppy that is always looking for praise. For Allie praise is better than a treat. Praise is working really well on her house breaking and she rarely has an accident in the house. Allie loves to play with the resident dogs and curl up to snuggle with the resident children. If you want a puppy to raise to be your very own Allie is your girl!
Sapphire
ADOPTED 05/01/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Sapphire made her way to us from a shelter where she had been surrendered by her former owners. They had told the shelter that she was good with children, dogs and cats. She is in a foster living with young children and another GSD and getting along well. We have not had her around cats. She is a young, energetic girl that has had no training or guidance. She's very trainable, she pays attention to her handler and is responsive to both food and praise. A good training program, guidance from her family and exercise to burn off some that puppy energy are in order for beautiful Sapphire.
Missy
ADOPTED 04/29/2018!
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?
Missy was found tied to a tree, no one ever came for her. The person that found her took very good care of her and was hoping to make her part of their family. Unfortunately Missy and the resident small dog were not compatible. Wanting Missy to have the best chance at finding a good family she was surrendered to us. She is young, energetic and has a lot to learn. Training of course will help Missy learn what is expected of her, good canine manners and build a bond with her new family.
Kadian
ADOPTED 04/23/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Kadian came to us a surrender, as her former person was not in the position to care for or keep her. At 14 weeks old she has a whole lot to learn. It is never too soon to start basic obedience training, as socialization with other dogs and people is very important, along with learning good puppy manners. Puppies will chew things, have accidents, get into things and have lots of energy, so please be sure you have the time and patience it takes to raise a puppy. Adopting a puppy is a commitment for their lifetime.
Mally
ADOPTED 04/22/2018!
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?
Mally 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 Mally 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.
Updates:Mally is settling in to her foster home. She is housetrained and very responsive to "No" verbal commands. Mally is young, so she does good exercising with her foster. Mally is excellent with her human and warms up to other dogs and strangers - she likes to take things at her own pace and be introduced slowly so she's comfortable. Mally may do better in a lower key and less chaotic home and is very excited as she waits for her furever family. Could that family be yours?
Merlin
ADOPTED 04/21/2018!
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?
Merlin was surrendered as he kept escaping the yard with a 4 foot fence, suggested ways of keeping him contained were not implemented. He had been with his family for 5 years and deserved more than to be given away. As Merlin is new to us we are just getting to know him. He lived with another dog in his prior home. Right now he is confused and somewhat anxious with the changes in his life. He does require training to help him with good canine manners and to learn what is expected of him. Training is a great way to start the bonding process with a new family.
Mocha
ADOPTED 04/18/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Mocha was adopted through our rescue when she was just 16 weeks old. She has lived with her adopters for the last 6 years. After 6 years they decided to return her because they could not contain her in their yard with a 4 foot fence. Instead of correcting the problem or supervising her while she was out she was returned, leaving the only family she has known. Mocha deserved better than this, along with a lifetime commitment. She is such a well behaved sweet girl, she gets along well with other dogs. Mocha is now looking for a family who will commit to her for her lifetime.
Nikia
ADOPTED 04/15/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Nikia was found as a stray and ended up in a shelter. She is a beautiful, well behaved older girl, past the antics of a younger dog. She would be happy hanging with her family, going for strolls and being loved.
Updates:Nikia is settling in great to her foster home. Her foster parents report that Nikia is a delighful dog. She loves to ride in the car and just look out the window. She walks beautifully on a leash with minimal correction ("back") to keep her from walking out front and pulling. Nikia doesn't lunge or bark at people, other dogs, or anything else - just perks her ears up and shows interest but stays quietly by handler's side. Nikia is calm around small children - she perks perked up her ears and sits nicely to watch. Nikia loves tennis balls and tends to hoard them, so attention to taking those away when not supervised is necessary. Nikia likes bully sticks too. Nikia will only play with a toy if it is specifically given to her for play. Nikia stays off the furniture unless given permission. Nikia follows her humans around the house. If Nikia sounds like a good fit for your family, ask to meet her today.
Nikia's playful nature is coming out now that she is getting more secure in her environment. She loves to ride in the car and go for walks and loves to play.
She knows some basic obedience commands and is quite food motivated.
Crate trained. Goes right into the crate to eat and when she wants some down time. She waits patiently by the front door and pants or softly whines when she needs to go out to relieve herself.
She comes when called when she is off leash. She is very social and friendly but never jumps up on people. When she is really excited she does these little leaps in the air but not onto anyone or anything, just leaps a little bit in her own space.
She is very teachable. Has already learned "back" when I want her to get behind me so I can go out the door first.
