Adopted MAGSR Dogs
These are the most recent MAGSR adoptions. Dogs adopted prior to 2016 can be found here.
Nellie
ADOPTED 12/05/2020!
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?
Lovely Nellie and her siblings- Nathan, Natalie, Nancy, and Nadia, were dropped off at a shelter when their owner could not afford their care. This cute little family needed rescue immediately as a shelter is not a safe place for puppies. When MAGSR heard the shelter's plea, we stepped up to help these adorable babies find their forever homes.
Although Nellie is an absolute joy, please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy antics and can be mischievous – they will whine, have accidents, get into things, and chew on inappropriate things. With time, patience, guidance and training, Nellie will develop into the good canine citizen she is destined to become.
Gunter
ADOPTED 12/05/2020!
Good With Kids: Unknown

Gunter is a survivor. Owned by a hoarder in the south and used for breeding purposes, Gunter's life had been filled with pain and suffering. However, when another rescue stepped up and removed Gunter and several other dogs from the premises, Gunter's life changed forever. Recognizing that Gunter would have his best chance at finding the forever home in the north, he was transferred to MAGSR. Although we are still getting to know Gunter, it is clear that even with all of the suffering that he has endured, he is a friendly guy. Gunter seems to know that the past is behind him and he is more than ready to move forward. Gunter brings joy to everyone around him with his goofy antics. Although Gunter is clearly an amazing dog, he, like all other dogs, will meet with success when provided with structure and leadership. Training will help him further develop his confidence as well as bond with his new family.
Although Gunter is clearly an incredible guy, we have unfortunately learned that he is light heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if his caretakers had kept him on monthly heartworm preventatives. Gunter has begun his heartworm treatment and is doing well. The cost of Gunter's entire treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Treatment is expensive, but Gunter is definitely worth the cost. Please donate toward Gunter's treatment, your generosity will help us save him and other dogs with medical needs. Although Gunter will need to take it slow over the next few months, he will be back to full strength once his treatment is finished. If your household is the right match for Gunter, please ask to meet him right away.
Updates:Great news for Gunther! He is heartworm free!! Gunther has successfully completed his heartworm treatment and is ready to meet his forever family.
Sandy
ADOPTED 12/05/2020!
Good With Kids: Unknown

Sweet Sandy was a stray who found her way to a local shelter. While she waited for a family to come and claim her, Sandy quickly won over the hearts of shelter staff. When no one came to get Sandy, MAGSR decided to step-in and help this happy-go-lucky girl find the perfect forever family. Although Sandy came into the shelter as a stray, she does know several commands and seems to be well socialized. Understanding that toys make everything more exciting, Sandy entertains herself with a variety of dog toys. When meeting other dogs, Sandy has done well. Sandy is looking for a forever family that will help her further develop into the good canine citizen that we know she is destined to be. If Sandy sounds like the right fit for your family, please ask to meet her today.
Update: Sandy is very cuddly and loves to play, run, and loves attention. When she has to go to the bathroom she goes to the door and sometimes will jump on the door to get your attention. Sandy is still very much a puppy and she needs to be monitored so she does not get into trouble. She does well with other dogs, but because she is still young she doesn’t always know when to stop. Her fosters are working with her on crate training.

Sheena
ADOPTED 12/03/2020!
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?
Sheena is a survivor. This special and incredibly sweet girl was used for years as a breeding dog. It was evident when rescuers came in to get her that this lovely lady had endured great pain and hardship. Emaciated and chained outside, Sheena was simply being used for puppy production.
Although Sheena is a victim of cruelty and neglect, this lovely lady has the sweetest disposition. She is an incredible companion and has been friendly with everyone she has met. Our volunteers are simply in awe of her strength and resilience. Now that Sheena has joined the MAGSR family, she is experiencing kindness and love. Sheena is learning the rules of a household, basic commands, and the joy of a comfortable bed. At this time, Sheena is waiting patiently for a forever home that will provide her with the care and kindness she deserves. If Sheena sounds like a good match for your household, please ask to meet her today.
Updates:Sheena was used for breeding all of her life until she was rescued with her eight puppies. She is loving life with her foster family and has fit in quite well. Sheena is housebroken, learning basic obedience and loves belly rubs. She will take belly rubs over treats. She is good with cats and small dogs, she plays gently with other dogs. She will growl if another dog comes near her food bowl while eating but she stops immediately when corrected. Sheena does have some health issues that she is being treated for. She is on antibiotics for a skin infection, she takes dasuquin for her joints. Sheena will have to have eye drops for the rest of her life because she has pannus and is partially blind. It is hard for her to see in the dark. But with all that she has been through, she is happy and accepting of meeting people with lots of tail wags and loves to be with her humans.
Sheena is a very affectionate girl. She loves snuggles and will actively seek attention but is respectful of our rules about no dogs on the furniture. She's getting along pretty well with the resident Male GSD, with only a few growls exchanged over dog beds. Sheena knows basic obedience, is fully housebroken and crate trained, and is picking up leash skills quickly. She is content to curl into a cushy bed and nap the day away and is always ready for a walk. Sheena prefers her toys without ears and tags and limbs, and is happy to fix them if they don't come that way. She likes to play ball as well.
Due to her past, she's a little hand shy and startles at loud noises. She is wary of cars and really dislikes releasing air sounds (like air brakes on a bus or even opening a soda). Sheena is the most affectionate foster that I've ever had, and is the most gentle and sweet girl! Just an incredible dog!
