Chase
ADOPTED 03/09/2019!
Good With Kids: Yes
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Chase landed in a shelter when his family moved and could not take him with them. He is a young bubbly happy puppy that requires training, guidance and structure. He lived harmoniously with children , cats, and regularly played with other dogs at the dog park.
Updates:Chase lived in a foster home with a young child and was amazing with her – he is exceptionally patient. Chase is great in the home, housebroken and crate trained. Chase loves belly rubs and attention from his humans and seems very eager to please. In a couple of meet & greets with other dogs, Chase has proven to be very unsocialized with other dogs of all sizes and has no manners with them. Chase would greatly benefit from group training with other dogs so that he can become the best canine he can be. If Chase sounds like he may be a fit for your family, ask to meet him today.
Kalani
ADOPTED 03/09/2019!
Good With Kids: Yes, older kids
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Kalani was found wandering country roads, she was taken to a shelter. She is underweight, but will begin to gain weight with regular nutritious meals. She is such a love, she enjoys belly rubs, leaning into her person for petting and she is full of kisses and tail wags. Training of course is required, as we want Kalani to have good canine manners. She is young, so be prepared for an energetic girl who will require daily exercise.
Updates:Kalani is settling into her new surroundings which is helping us get to know her better. Energizer bunny comes to mind when describing her energy. She is a busy girl, she enjoys her time in the play yard with all of the toys, but some tough toys are in order for this mega chewer. She is still working on improving her leash manners, that will come with daily leash walks. Kalani can be mouthy, not realizing her sharp teeth hurt. If you are looking for a running partner, live an active lifestyle and have the energy and time, ask to meet Kalani
Kalani is settling in to her foster home. In so many ways, Kalani is just a puppy with normal puppy behaviors - curious, uncertain, brave, funny, sweet and anxious. She's a chewer and loves to chew so it's important to keep her busy on chewing only those things which she is allowed to have. She is crate trained and learning sit and is food-motivated making her easier to train for simple commands. Kalani has a high prey drive and when combined with her playful puppy mouthiness, she can become a little worked up. Kalani has the great potential to be a wonderful dog. She is a sweet young girl looking for a forever home to provide consistency, structure and training with a handler who has prior experience with the breed so she can reach her full potential and correct some of her puppy habits which are inappropriate for a dog of her age. If Kalani sounds like she could be a fit for you, please ask to meet her.
Young Kalani has greatly benefited from her 6 weeks of professional training at K-9 Koncepts. Originally found as a stray, she didn’t know much about interacting properly with the world when she came to us. But after professional training, she is much more able to enjoyably interact with people and normal daily activities. She is much more observant of her handler now, and has learned basic commands. Her leash skills have also improved a great deal, since she is much more focused on her handler and less concerned with random activity nearby. She is still the same happy, lovable, sweet girl she was before, just much easier to handle and more enjoyable to be around. Kalani has learned sit, heel, down, stay, and come to various degrees (all of course will need to be reinforced by continued proper training and handling), and is ready to move on to a forever home. If you would like to meet Kalani, she is ready to meet you and your family! Please ask to meet Kalani today!
Bastille
ADOPTED 03/09/2019!
Good With Kids: Older Kids Only

One of the largest puppy mill busts found hundreds of German Shepherd's living in absolute filth and in horrendous condition. Ankle deep mud and feces mixed with urine, no adequate shelter, lacking food and clean water is how these dogs were left to live, many for years. The urgent call was made and MAGSR knew we had to take in as many as possible. We now have 38 dogs that have a multitude of medical needs that we are addressing, and they need to learn to trust humans. All dogs are scared, some are shut down, but our volunteers and vets will get them on their road to recovery. It will be awhile before these dogs are ready for adoption, so please be patient and watch for updates.
An undertaking of this size for an all-volunteer rescue is quite a task, but one we are meeting it head on. Many of the dogs require medical boarding so that they can receive the best possible care. We are committed to providing everything they need, not only medically, but emotionally. Our medical costs are going to be at an amount we have never seen before. We need your help, the dogs need your help. Please donate , your donation will go towards their ongoing care, medical needs, emotional needs and help them on their road to recovery and a brighter future.
Updates:Bastille is making daily strides. She is still a shy girl and you have to make slow movements with her as she still spooks easily. She remains a flight risk and must remain on a leash at all times even in the home. She is doing much better going in to a crate and once in sleeps quietly for at least 9 hours at night. She has not had any accidents in her crate and is doing well house breaking. She can go about 9 hours a typical work day and not have an accident. We are working diligently on her leash manners and she is responding very well. She really enjoys walks and is starting to open up and sneak some kisses and meet you with tail wags. She is initiating play with other dogs in the home and is overall a very sweet girl. We are beginning on some basic obedience commands. Lastly, Bastille is treat motivated, gentle in taking them and absolutely loves marrow bones and peanut butter. She has shown no signs of food aggression. If interested in this stunning girl, please contact us to meet her.
Through no fault of her own Bastille was returned back to MAGSR, her family loved her but their busy household caused her a lot of anxiety and they felt this was no longer fair to her.
Bastille would do great in a less busy home with a stable dog to help calm her anxiety.
Rambo
ADOPTED 03/04/2019!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 16
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Rambo came to us as owner surrender as his former person was not able to continue to care for him. Rambo is a friendly boy, although he is unsettled with the recent changes in his life. He needs time to adjust to all of the changes. He can be mouthy when things he shouldn't have are taken away from him. Training, of course, will help him learn manners, work on any unwanted behaviors and help him settle into life with a new family. He lived with a cat in his previous home and we are told he did fine. He is currently in a foster home being given time to adjust to losing his home and family. His foster will provide an update soon.
