ADOPTED 04/12/2018!
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?
Brixx found himself in a shelter as a stray so we have no history on him. He is somewhat shy at first, but he is friendly. He is good with other dogs. Brixx would love a family of his own who will commit to him for his lifetime.
Updates:Brixx is settling in nicely in his foster home. He is a very dedicated and sweet dog - he seems to love people. Brixx loves attention, does good with basic commands, and is housebroken. He likes to lay at your feet. Brixx will make a very good, loyal pet for somebody or a family. Ask to meet Brixx today!
Ralph
ADOPTED 04/11/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes

Ralph came to rescue when he was a 6 month old puppy, all cuddly and cute. Of course being a puppy lots of people were interested in adopting him. His family adopted in 2016 and sadly returned him as he is no longer the cute puppy they adopted. Yes, we see this far too much, people getting puppies but once they are grown adults the puppy cuteness has worn off and they are surrendering the dogs through no fault of the dog. While Ralph is no longer a puppy, he is a still a very handsome and loving young boy. Ralph lived in a home with a toddler and did well. He has had no obedience training, so his leash walking skills need improvement. He enjoys being near people receiving attention. He's a sweet boy that just needs some structure and training to make him the perfect little love-bug! Ralph is looking for a family who will commit to him for his lifetime.
Updates:Ralph is doing really well in his foster home. His humans are working on obedience commands with him and he's doing really well. He is learning that as much as he loves to meet new people, it's not polite to jump. He loves to play and dig in the back yard with his foster sister. He's very alert and can hear his foster dad move his chair in the house on another floor which means that it's "Ralph's time" for attention. If Ralph sounds like he could be a good fit for you, please ask to meet him soon.
Ralph is a very well behaved and tolerant gentleman. His sit, stay, down are coming around nicely and his leash manners are good. Ralph is a lovable nut and he's improving all the time.
Wiley
ADOPTED 04/09/2018!
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?
Wiley was found in a trash bag on the side of the road when he was approximately 8 weeks old. Since then he has been passed around from person to person and not always having the best of care. Thankfully the last person who he was given to reached out to us so that Wiley would have the best chance at finding a loving and caring family. Wiley had a vet visit today for his vaccines and check up, he received a clean bill of health, just needs to gain some weight. He is now in a loving foster home enjoying the comforts of a home, toys, treats and good nutrition.
Boyka
ADOPTED 04/09/2018!
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?
Boyka was surrendered to us as his former person was very busy with his graduate studies. He knew that Boyka needed more time and attention then he could give him. Boyka is very well behaved for a 7 month old puppy, he is housebroken and crate trained. He will whine and bark when first going into his crate but will settle. He absolutely loves the company of other dogs, both males and females, he wants to be near them all of the time. He is currently in a foster home with another GSD and Boxer, both are seniors and he does so well with them. He does have a lot of puppy energy, he enjoys going for walks, playing and running in the yard and a good game of keep away is a lot of fun. He does not have perfect leash manners, but they aren't bad for a dog of his age. He is a sponge and soaking up everything his foster mom is teaching him. He has met children of varying ages and did well, but he does not take treats gently and his energy level may be too much for little ones. Boyka is very ready for a good training program and a new forever family.
Clarke
ADOPTED 04/08/2018!
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?
Clark is a handsome German Shepherd puppy who is approx.10 mos. old. Clark was rescued from a bad situation, his owner died and the other relatives threw him out to fend for himself. Despite his size he is still a puppy - happy, inquisitive, and wanting to please, but also needing guidance and patience from his new family. .Clark will need the full range of obedience training classes to help him be the best grown-up dog he can be. Training will also allow Clark to form a bond with his new family. This boy has been through a lot in his short life but is now ready to find a new home and a new family to love.
Updates:Clarke is a wonderful dog and very friendly. Sadly, sweet Clarke tested heartworm positive when seen by a MAGSR vet. He obviously was not started early on monthly Heartworm Preventatives which would have protected him. MAGSR will make sure Clarke gets the treatment he needs to rid his body of Heartworms so that he may enjoy many more years of life. Treatment is expensive but Clarke is certainly worth the cost. Donations towards his treatment would be greatly appreciated – this would also help us save other dogs with medical needs.
Clarke is a happy-go-lucky pup who has settled nicely into his foster home. As a young energetic pup, he has made a lot of progress with a little leadership and consistency. Although it seems that Clarke has had little experience on a leash or with training, this intelligent boy is quickly picking up on new skills. Clarke is learning sit, down, heel, and watch. His foster family reports that this treat motivated boy is always happy to learn a new skill particularly, if a training treat is involved. Clarke has begun some basic training but will definitely need to attend formal training with his forever family. Training will not only help Clarke bond with his new family but, it will also provide him with the guidance needed to address puppy behaviors such as mouthing and jumping.
Due to his heartworm positive status, Clarke isn't able to run and play the way a young dog typically would at this time. However, Clarke is handling his restrictions like a champ. He is very well behaved in the crate and is making great progress with housebreaking. Having learned the joy of a good bone, a few comfortable blankets and a strong chew toy, Clarke seems unfazed by his current circumstance. Although Clarke will need to take it easy for a couple months as he undergoes heartworm treatment, he can't wait to find his forever family!
Luna

Good With Kids: Unknown

Luna came to us from a shelter so we have no history on her. We do know that it looks as though she has had multiple litters. Well her mom days are now over. It is her time to shine as a family pet. She is as sweet as can be with everyone she meets, a well behaved girl.
Diesel
ADOPTED 04/07/2018!
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?
Diesel was surrendered to a shelter when his family moved and could not take him with them. Diesel can take a bit of time to feel comfortable with new people, he just likes a slow approach. Once you have given him time he bonds quickly, especially with women. He enjoys being out for walks and play time, he is good with other dogs and enjoys spending time with his family. This very handsome boy is looking for a family who will commit to him for his lifetime. Training is a must as it will help Diesel build confidence. He requires a leader so that he can feel comfortable.
Updates: Hi guys, Diesel here! I wanted to tell you how much better I am doing now that I am in a foster home. The kennel made me feel insecure and nervous but now I'm feeling much more confident and love to play fetch. I'll even drop the ball for you on command. My foster mom says I already know some basic obedience such as heel, sit, stay, down, and crate. Speaking of my crate,I am the perfect gentleman in it and will go in on command, it's my space and I'm good with that a l thought I probably can be trusted free to roam but foster mom has not tested that out yet. I still take a little time to warm up to new people but once I know you I'm your shadow and welcome belly rubs and will nuzzle you with my head and crawl between your legs for attention. I can be protective of my handler and the home but with proper guidance I will follow your lead. I am not a couch potato so taking me for plenty of walks and allowing me to run around to expend energy is a must. I've proven to my foster mom how smart I am with this thing where she hides treats in a puzzle and I have to use my nose to open different compartments, boy is that a lot of fun! Some of my favorite things are Kong squeaky balls, bully sticks, and tug toys. Foster mom tells me what a wonderful boy I am and that my forever family is out there somewhere, could that be you?! Dax

Dax is a very handsome and big boy. He came to us from a shelter so we have no history for him. He is very friendly with people and enjoys spending time with them. He has done well with other dogs, although he will react to other dogs that bark at him. He would probably do best with a submissive dog, but one that enjoys playtime. He has a more laid back personality, such a wonderful boy.
Updates:Dax is settling in great in his foster home. He’s mellow and does well free in the house – Dax is a very large boy, so he needs a rather large crate. Dax is very strong and big. Dax rides well and is very attentively curious about wildlife (squirrels, geese birds, etc.) and all seem new to him, so he may not have been a country dog in the past. Dax seems to have had some obedience training, but needs to sharpen his skills. Dax loves to snuggle up to his foster mom and dad and likes his chill out and quiet time. Dax is a dog with tremendous potential. If this big loveable boy seems like the perfect fit for your family, ask to meet Dax today!
Apollo
ADOPTED 04/02/2018!
Good With Kids: Unknown

Apollo was surrendered to a shelter as his family had never had a German Shepherd before and didn't realize how much time, training and the commitment it takes. Apollo has not been well socialized with people or other dogs, he has not had training or guidance. He is a big boy for his age but still very much a puppy. He jumps up on people, he pulls hard on the leash and he barks at other dogs. With a good training program, guidance from his new family, exercise and ongoing socialization he will be a wonderful family member. Apollo needs a strong commitment from his new family, you must have the time and patience for him.
Ahsoka
ADOPTED 04/01/2018!
, 
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?
Maren 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 Maren 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:Ahsoka, formerly known as Maren, unfortunately has been returned as she was too protective of her home. She did not like when visitors came to the home. This can be managed by putting her away in a secure room and/or crate when people come to the home. She will also benefit greatly from a strong leader who will provide appropriate correction and training. She would do best in a home that does not have frequent visitors and with a family that is willing to put her away when visitors do come. She desperately needs someone who will commit to her to help her learn good manners through a good training program.
Ahsoka is doing beautifully in her foster home. She loves her foster dad, who takes her on bike rides/runs, and she's in love with the resident dogs, especially the male. Ahsoka stays focused on her handler and looks to them for guidance, so as long as the handler is in charge, Ahsoka is a happy and well behaved girl. She doesn't much like things that startle her, but corrects quickly and easily from reacting. Ahsoka will still need to be managed properly to ensure success for her and everyone else involved, which is why Ahsoka will only meet those who have prior experience with the breed. Ahsoka has come a long way - she is a happy and confident girl now and is waiting patiently for that special family to pick her. Is that you?
