Johnny

ADOPTED 12/01/2019!

Johnny adopted
JohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnny
Gender: Male
Breed: German Shepherd Dog
Approximate Age: 7 years 7 months
Color: Black & Tan
Current Size: 80 lbs
Housebroken: Unknown
Obedience Trained: No
Altered: Yes

Good With Kids: No
Good With Cats: Unknown
Other Dogs OK: Yes
DESCRIPTION:

Johnny came to us from a shelter, we have no history for him.  Since arriving in our care, he has been a complete gentleman. A little unsure with his new surroundings at first, but has quickly settled in. Johnny is a kind gentle soul and is very gentle with his handler. He enjoys belly rubs, being with his people, staying by his human's side, and will look to his handler for guidance. Johnny is a wonderful boy and anyone would be lucky to have him.

 

Updates:

Johnny is starting to settle in with our volunteers but is still lacking confidence and trust; however, as he gets to know the people he decides to trust more, he greets them with kisses and tail wags. Because of Johnny's insecurities, he would learn from a home with a confident dog to help show him the way forward. Johnny would also do best with a handler who has prior GSD experience as well to help build his confidence with training and reinforcement. Keep an eye on Johnny's progress and ask to meet him if your home may be a good fit for him.

Liam adopted
LiamLiamLiamLiamLiamLiam
Gender: Male
Breed: Belgian Malinois/Dutch Shepherd mix
Approximate Age: 5 years 9 months
Color: Brindle
Current Size: 30 lbs
Housebroken: Working on it
Obedience Trained: No, I'm a puppy!
Altered: No

Good With Kids: Older kids, over 10
Good With Cats: Yes
Other Dogs OK: Yes
DESCRIPTION:

Liam, along with his siblings Luc and Lieve 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.

Approximate Age: 7 years 5 months
Color: Black & Tan
Current Size: 56 lbs
Housebroken: Yes
Obedience Trained: No
Altered: No

Good With Kids: Older Kids Only
Good With Cats: No
Other Dogs OK: Yes, Males Only
DESCRIPTION:

Bellair made her way to us from a shelter where she had been surrendered, for reasons unknown.  She is new to us, so we are just getting to know her.  We know that she prefers the company of male dogs over female dogs.  She needs training, consistency and a schedule.  Without this she has no idea what her new family expects of her, it is your job to guide and teach her.  She is a pretty petite girl, which will make it easier for leash walks.

Updates:

We've gotten to know Bellair a bit more since she's been with us.  What a pleasure this lady is to work with; it is apparent that she likes to work.  She seems to know so many commands but quietly tests out the handler as she works.  Once she figures out that you mean business, she handles beautifully.  Bellair is clearly food motivated and doesn't require much tension on the leash when a redirect is needed.  She corrects quickly and responds nicely when given an activity.  She loves balls, and will play fetch, then carry the ball around with her.  She has excellent behavior at the vet, she is even good about the thermometer.  She is easy to leash up, jumps into the car readily and is a very good car rider.  We're also told she's quite cuddly, could you see yourself cuddling with Bellair?

Bellair is enjoying life in her foster home. She has great house manners, is housebroken, and crate trained. She loves, loves, loves squeaky toys, treat-filled kongs and daily walks. She has started group obedience training with her foster mom and is learning that squirrels, rabbits, dogs, and cars don’t need to be chased while walking. Her new family will need to continue training, as Bellair has a high drive and will need a strong leader to help her become a good canine citizen. If Bellair sounds like she coudl be a good fit for your family, ask to meet her - she's a sweet lovable gem.

Tyson adopted

Gender: Male
Breed: German Shepherd Dog
Approximate Age: 6 years 2 months
Color: Black & Tan
Current Size: 62 lbs
Housebroken: Unknown
Obedience Trained: No
Altered: No

Good With Kids: Unknown
Good With Cats: Unknown
Other Dogs OK: Yes
DESCRIPTION:

Tyson is another product of someone getting a dog then not having time for him.  Yes dogs need your time, your devotion, your commitment to them for their lifetime.  It needs to be a well thought out, realistic decision before getting a pet.  Tyson is now looking for the family who has thought their decision through and will commit to him for his lifetime.  Yes he needs training and daily exercise.  Yes he will try your patience at times and get into things he shouldn’t, but this is where his family comes in.  He needs to be taught good manners and he needs obedience training, which his family needs to provide.  Be sure you have the time and patience for years to come.

Embedded thumbnail for Riley-MAGSR-2019, Embedded thumbnail for Riley-MAGSR-2019
Gender: Female
Breed: German Shepherd Mix

Color: Black & Tan
Current Size: 72 lbs
Housebroken: Yes
Obedience Trained: No
Altered: No

Good With Kids: Yes

DESCRIPTION:

Riley’s prior family gave her up after having her for 6 years as they no longer wanted her.  As you can imagine losing her family is upsetting.  She just arrived in our care so we are taking the time to get to know her better.  Riley is hopeful that her next family will commit to her for her lifetime and not just toss her aside.  She is over weight, so a diet and exercise are in order.  Her beautiful long coat is matted and dirty but she will be enjoying a spa day.
