Toby
ADOPTED 07/31/2016!
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?
Toby made his way to MAGSR after a kind soul discovered him at a shelter and knew he deserved a chance at a forever home. Having moved around a bit in order to make his way to MAGSR Toby is, understandably, a little unsure about his new circumstances. However, he is slowly warming up to his foster family and we know over time his full personality will shine. As a young and energetic pup, Toby is your typical GSD - he enjoys playing, leaning into his people, and head and neck rubs. Toby will require guidance, training, and continued patience as he develops into a good canine citizen; however, he already has a good start as he is housebroken and is currently crate training. Toby is an intelligent pup who wants to follow the direction of his handler. He is quickly picking up a few commands and is learning how to walk on leash when participating in daily walks with his foster siblings. Although Toby is learning about pack life with his furry foster siblings, he does require slow introductions to new dogs at this time as he lacks confidence. We are sure that over time with training and socialization, Toby will develop into an amazing dog.
It's amazing what a few weeks in a foster home can do for a young, energetic pup. Toby has been very busy lately learning about what it is to be a good canine citizen. Thrilled to try anything that involves a high value treat, Toby has learned many of his basic commands. At this time, Toby knows - sit, stay, down, crate, out, and off. As he has developed many of his commands, Toby has increased his confidence and has become more comfortable within the community. In addition to basic commands, Toby has also been developing his leash manners. As Toby has made significant progress in this area as well, he is now jogging a few miles with a couple times a week. On days when Toby doesn't go for a run, he is thrilled to take a long walk and then play fetch. Activities such as these have helped Toby burn his puppy energy in a constructive manner. When activities are all done, Toby is happy to settle down with his foster family and chew on a bone or snuggle up for a few extra cuddles. If this fun-loving guy sounds like the right match for your household, please inquire about him today.

This handsome, friendly boy was found as a stray and landed in a shelter. He is now anxiously waiting for a new home and family to spend the rest of his life with. Training, walks, playtime, hanging out and lots of love are on his agenda.
Julia (1)
ADOPTED 07/30/2016!
Good With Kids: Yes

Julia cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little girl, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses. Julia has a lot to learn about being 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, Julia will become even more of an amazing girl than she already is. Please inquire if Julia sounds like a good match for your family.

Tobey is a high energy and enthusiastic boy and just loves to run and run. Tobey has pretty good leash manners, crates very well, loves to run along with his handler and just loves the resident dogs in his foster home. Tobey is trusting of dogs but cautious around new people and in new situations. Tobey needs a patient handler to help him build a little confidence in his handsome self. Please inquire if Tobey sounds like a good match for your family.
Emma
ADOPTED 07/22/2016!
Good With Kids: Yes

Emma is a young female German Shepherd mix who came to us from a high-kill shelter. She is approximately 9 months old. Emma is beyond great with kids and loves the water. She would be in heaven swimming in a lake or wading in the ocean. She is exceptionally smart and learns commands quickly. Emma loves people and really is an overall happy dog with a sweet and playful personality. She was introduced to cats while on leash and did fine, but off leash she will chase.
Kenya

Good With Kids: Unknown

Meet the adorable Kenya. He is a friendly boy but a little unsure as to why he lost his family and home. He lived with Glacier in his previous home, they got along well. We do not have any experience or knowledge of him with children and cats at this time. The comfort of a home and a loving family is just what Kenya needs, could you be his new family?
Updates:Kenya is now in a foster home and settling in nicely with his foster GSD sibling and foster parents. Kenya's foster parents call him "Kenny" and report that he is AWESOME!! Kenny has been doing great on the leash and is picking up basic training (I.e. Sit, down, stay, and "wait" when entering/exiting the house) very quickly. He is housebroken and does very well in the crate. Kenny loves playing outside with toys, his foster GSD brother and likes playing chase. He LOVES getting his head scratched and returns the love with hugs and cuddles next you on the floor. Ask to meet Kenny!
Chloe
ADOPTED 07/22/2016!
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?
Chloe is a sweet loving girl looking for a family of her very own. She enjoys car rides, walks well on a leash, enjoys playtime and being with her family. She is crate trained to sleep in her crate at night but does not like being crated when left home alone. She has been to doggy daycare and enjoyed swimming and hanging out with her fur friends. For the most part she is housebroken, but does have an occasional accident. With a regular schedule this can be corrected. At only a year old she has lots to learn and energy to burn. Please be sure you are up to the time and commitment it takes to raise a well balanced GSD.
Tela
ADOPTED 07/22/2016!
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?
Tela came to us after she was abandoned by her family. She has been cared for by a family member who was not in a position to keep her long term. In her past home she lived with cats, she also has lived with other dogs and has been around children. While living with her temporary caregiver it was noted that she loves car rides, is housebroken, she knows some basic commands and was walked on a leash. Tela's energy level is medium.
Sherlock
ADOPTED 07/18/2016!
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?
Sherlock initially came to MAGSR, due to his owner’s health, from a home with other Shepherds and got along well with them. Over the last 18 months, Sherlock has been in a home without other dogs and has not interacted with other dogs, so it is unknown if he is still good with other dogs. Sherlock has a high prey drive and will chase rabbits and squirrels. Sherlock is friendly with the humans that he meets and is very active with a ton of energy, much more than expected for his age. Sherlock enjoys playing catch and swimming. Sherlock needs training, a strong handler (he’s a strong boy), and a strict regimen.
Over the last several months, MAGSR has treated Sherlock for a perianal fistula, of which treatment is coming to a close. Also, over the last several months, Sherlock has been receiving weekly laser treatments on his hips for severe arthritis. His arthritis has not slowed this boy down at all, but the laser treatments have helped him to be more comfortable so he can continue to play. Continuing future laser treatments, while they may be bi-weekly or only monthly, will be key in providing Sherlock continued relief from his arthritis and comfort going forward.
Sherlock is waiting to meet his fur-ever family that will commit to his needs for his lifetime. Please set up an appointment to meet Sherlock if he sounds like a good match for your family.
