Rambo
ADOPTED 12/08/2018!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 16
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. 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.
Joe Joe
ADOPTED 12/05/2018!
Good With Kids: Unknown

Sadly Joe Joes person passed away which left Joe Joe living in an outside pen. Thankfully the person who cared for Joe Joe's person while he was ill contacted us to take him into our care. His pen was muddy, as was his food bowl and his water bowl was green. He was covered in mud and feces. Joe Joe is very confused at this time, the recent changes have him scared. He is such a sweet, friendly boy. He craves human affection, he will lean into you for security and petting. Not having any information on him, we are learning as we go. With his friendly personality, we are confident with time he will adjust to the better life he is now experiencing.
Kovu
ADOPTED 11/24/2018!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 16
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Kovu has not had much stability in his life, he has had 3 families before coming into our care. His last person realized that he needed more than she could provide in the way of training and knew that he needed an experienced family to help him adjust to a new life. Kovu has not been well socialized or provided with proper training. He can be protective of his person if he feels you are not in control. He will bark at people he doesn't know, but takes correction and redirection well. He needs slower introductions to new people, dogs and situations in order for him to feel comfortable. Training is an absolute must for Kovu and his new family as this will help everyone learn more about Kovu and get him on the right track. Kovu will only meet those with a lot of experience with the breed and are strong, knowledgeable handlers. Kovu needs someone who is going to commit to him, provide him with direction and consistency in his life. Our volunteers are working with him, he learns quickly.
Updates:Kovu has settled into his foster home. Kovu has become affectionate and attentive to his foster dad. Unfortunately, Kovu was inexperienced, untrained and poorly socialized when arriving into MAGSR’s care. Kovu is anxious when meeting new people and needs a handler that understands this to ensure slow introductions with treats. Kovu has a high food drive and responds well to training in obedience with food rewards. Kovu has been confident learning new things and being placed in new situations. Poor Kovu must never have had toys before because he has discovered toys in his foster home – balls, tug ropes, etc.and has a fairly strong ball drive. Kovu is respectful in the home when not crated and is housebroken; however he likes to counter surf at times, and has a special interest in used paper towels. Kovu would do well in a quiet home without young kids or other pets. If Kovu sounds like he could be a match for your family, and you have experience with GSDs, please ask to meet him today.
Bella
ADOPTED 11/19/2018!
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?
Bella is your typical playful and curious puppy. Please be prepared for a puppy as they are time consuming, they need training, socialization, lots of exercise and a lifetime of love and care. Yes, puppies chew things they shouldn't, they get into things, they have potty accidents and they have lots of energy.
Updates:Bella is settling into her foster home. She is great with the resident children and snuggles right up for some love. She loves playing with the resident dogs. Up until this point Bella hasn't had an accident in the house and does well in her crate as long as there are no people around. If you are looking for a puppy that already has some skills in housebreaking and crate training, Bella is the girl for you! Ask to meet her!!
Bradford
ADOPTED 11/19/2018!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Bradford was a frequent flyer at his local shelter as his previous family did nothing to ensure his safety. He was constantly leaving the property and being picked up running the streets. Thankfully this very big handsome boy is now safe in our care and is now looking for a family that will ensure his safety by not allowing him to be outside unsupervised or wandering the streets. Bradford has a calm disposition and is so gentle for such a large boy. However, when he gets more comfortable, he is powerful in his movements, largely because of his size and needs a strong handler. Bradford is very timid and unsure at this time and therefore is considered a flight risk. Structure and building his confidence is what this sweet boy needs. Training will do him wonders and help create a bond with his new family.
