ADOPTED 01/11/2020!
Good With Kids: Yes
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Bailey was surrendered as her family had no time for her and it shows in her lack training and manners. She is such a beautiful, friendly girl that just needs a family to teach her good canine manners. A good training program will teach her jumping up is not acceptable and will also help with her leash skills. Given the opportunity, Bailey will crawl up into her human's lap for loving - she's very sweet. Bailey has some energy to burn that ong walks and a good a game of fetch will help with. Exercising both the body and brain will be very beneficial for her.
Updates:Bailey is a sweet girl and very dedicated to her humans. Bailey likes to be with her humans and will run up and down the stairs to be with each of her humans when they are on different levels of the house. Bailey is a happy go lucky dog and very good with kids. Bailey doesn't know many obedience commands yet but is eager to learn. Bailey is easy to walk, good on car rides, and is house trained – she likes sleeping on doggy beds. She loves belly rubs and attention. If you are looking for a best buddy, Bailey is the one, and she would make a great family dog.
Jasper
ADOPTED 01/08/2020!
Good With Kids: Unknown
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Jasper was dumped by his former owner on a country road and picked up by animal control. When our volunteer picked him up from the shelter it was obvious he was not feeling well and not in great shape. He immediately went into medical boarding at one of our vets offices, where he received the best care. He had a severe respiratory and ear infection, hair loss with a skin infection and was not eating. All needed tests were performed and treatment was started. As time went on he was still not wanting to eat, radiographs were taken and it was found he had foreign objects in him. He was immediately taken to surgery where a number of assorted items were removed from his stomach.
After spending 3 weeks in medical boarding Jasper was able to go home with his foster. He is now on the mend, starting to eat on his own and finally wagging his tail some. He still needs to put on some more weight but his foster will be sure he never misses a much needed meal.
Through all of this he has been nothing but sweet and friendly. Jasper is now looking for his forever family, one that will treat him with care and love him for his lifetime. He is ready to leave his past behind and looks forward to a future of living in a home, proper nutrition, walks, playtime and lots of cuddles from his humans.
Updates:Jasper is doing great in his foster home and loves his foster parents. He is such a sweet boy who has come a long way since he came into the rescue. He went from not wanting to eat to sitting and eagerly waiting for his food. Jasper has a great appetite now and has put on some much-needed weight since his surgery. He loves everyone he meets and loves getting attention from everyone too (he’s so darn handsome and friendly, why wouldn’t anyone not want to give this boy some attention). Jasper likes his doggie beds, and if allowed, he’ll get up in the human bed too. Jasper is housebroken and crate trained, and he really loves to go for car rides. Jasper loves his Nylabone, although, his humans must be very careful in the toys selected for him due to his history, and he’s only allowed to have them when supervised. If this lovable handsome boy sounds like a fit for your family, check out his profile and ask to meet Jasper – he just might have a kiss waiting for you.
Willow
ADOPTED 01/05/2020!
Good With Kids: Yes
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Willow came to us an owner surrender as her person is going through a difficult time. She is much loved so her mom wanted the best for her. Willow lived with another female GSD. Willow is a young energetic girl who will require someone able to keep up with her energy. She also requires training to learn some manners and leash skills. She is strong and can easily pull someone down without being handled properly. We’ve been told she is good with children, but does have to be monitored due not knowing her size.
Regis
ADOPTED 01/04/2020!
Good With Kids: Yes, older kids
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Regis was surrendered to a shelter as his family moved and could not take him with them. He is new to us so we are still getting to know him. He does best with female dogs and prefers them over male dogs. He loves belly rubs, rolling over on his back for a good scratching. Regis will benefit greatly from obedience training, learning good manners and what is expected of him.
Updates:
HI! My name is Regis and I LOVE BELLY RUBS! When people come over and start petting me, I roll right over to get some belly rubs! I love to make my rounds to all the volunteers when us dogs are being walked at the kennel to get my share of attention and belly rubs. But that's not my only super power - I walk well on a leash (they say I have a good 'heel', but I didn't know dogs had heels?) and tend to sit when my walker stops. I can sit, down, am working on stay, and I jump right in the car for a ride. It's fun to bark at the passing cars while riding, but I settle down when I'm told to and become a great riding companion! I'm a good boy with the vet, even when I'm not feeling so hot. They say I'm probably house trained, but I don't remember training any houses. They tell me how sweet I am and I love playing with other pups! I do have a little bit of a problem with fast hand movements, I get frightened and bark at them, but we're working on that too. I have tons of energy, and would love to try something like agility or nose work - they also say I have a great sniffer! I would just love to have a family of my own to love and cuddle with, could that family be yours?
Geist
ADOPTED 01/04/2020!
Good With Kids: Unknown
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Geist is a male German Shepherd mix with a beautiful white coat. He is new to the rescue, but a super sweet guy. Geist is lovely with the female dogs, but not so great with male dogs. He's simply a nice fella that prefers the ladies to himself. Geist is good with humans and loving. Like all of our dogs, Geist will benefit from standard obedience work to help him be the best gentleman he can be.
Augustus
ADOPTED 12/28/2019!
Good With Kids: Unknown
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Augustus was found as a stray hanging out on a person's property. Attempts were made to find his family, but no one came for him. He is a friendly young boy and rides well in the vehicle. He of course is in need of training and manners, a structured home, and a loving and caring family.
Riptide
ADOPTED 12/15/2019!
Good With Kids: Yes, older kids
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!
Mack
ADOPTED 12/15/2019!
Good With Kids: Yes, older kids
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Big, handsome Mack is a strong boy. He needs to learn leash manners, as a dog of his size can be difficult to handle on a leash. Mack is such a sweet boy. He has been very friendly with our volunteers. He really seems to enjoy going for drives, as when he sees a vehicle door open he wants to jump in. Mack did spend part of his life tied up on a chain, so he probably needs to learn house manners. While at the shelter he did participate in play groups with other dogs.
Updates:Mack has been with us for a while now and we have learned a lot about him. Everyone that comes into contact with Mack at the kennel loves him and his tail wags! He can be so sweet, and everyone he meets is a friend. He loves car rides and is very quiet when traveling. Mack is very smart and is not only learning better leash manners, but is a very willing participant in learning sit, down, and place - as long as you have a toy or treat to reward his efforts. He will play fetch, and is learning to bring the toy back and drop it on command. Mack is a sweet boy, and can be such a big teddy bear, but he also needs an experienced handler who will provide structure, training and consistent handling so he can learn his place in a home environment and does not try to take over. If you think you have what it takes to offer Mack what he needs to thrive, please let us know, we'll set you up with an introduction!
Mack has been with his foster family for a little over a week and has settled in nicely. Mack listens and sometimes he sleeps at his foster's feet. When Mack gets excited, he gets really excited. When Mack's humans head for the door, Mack runs to the door and jumps around, so he has to be calmed down before taking him out. Once Mack knows to listen, he walks nicely. Mack is very active for a four year old, and sometimes he seems more like a two year old. Mack needs a strong hand to keep him in line so that he will be a good canine citizen. Mack likes sleeping in doggy beds and is both housebroken and crate trained. Mack is becoming a dedicated dog to his foster family. If Mack sounds like he could be a good fit for your family, ask to meet him.
Mack's foster reports he is a very sweet boy and dedicated to his humans. Mack loves attention. When Mack's humans are at the dinner table, Mack goes and lays down until dinner is done. Mack is very treat motivated - knows where his treats are kept and will let his humans know when he wants one. In the evenings, Mack wanders upstairs and jumps up on the bed and lays down, until he hears somebody move and then he comes running downstairs to make sure he doesn't miss anything. At night time, Mack sleeps on his doggie bed all night and does great in the crate when he's in it. Mack is recommended for older kids, but very friendly with everyone. Mack lays down for belly rubs, likes to give paws, is good with other dogs, loves to go for car rides, is easy to walk with a human who is in control of him during the walk. Mack is patiently waiting for his fur-ever home - could that home be yours?
Cruz
ADOPTED 12/15/2019!
Good With Kids: Yes
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Cruz was surrendered as his former family didn’t realize how much time a young, energetic GSD requires. Cruz lived with children and another dog in his prior home. He does need training, this will help Cruz understand what is expected of him, teach good manners and build a bond with his new family. Please be sure you understand that Cruz will require walks, playtime, exercise, lots of love and attention for his lifetime.
Lieve
ADOPTED 12/15/2019!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 10
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Lieve, along with her siblings Liam and Luc lived outside without proper care or an adequate amount of food for growing puppies. Thankfully they were brought to our attention and brought into our care. They were underweight, but with proper nutrition they have gained weight. The pups are a mix of Dutch Shepherd (dad) and Belgian Malinois (mom). Both of these breeds are very high energy dogs that require a lot of exercise of both their bodies and minds, along with obedience training, ongoing socialization and direction. It is imperative that you have the time, everyday, to work with them on their training and can meet their exercise needs. We will only consider adopters that have prior experience with working line dogs. Please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family - puppies are a ten to twelve year commitment.
