Emilia
ADOPTED 09/02/2018!
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?
Emilia along with other family members were dumped at a shelter. Not often we are happy when dogs are dumped at shelters, but in this families case they are lucky they were. The family of Shepherds lived outside, no vet care, no vaccines, no preventatives. They were all crawling with fleas and ticks. Emilia is so very sweet, she enjoyed spending time with our volunteers being loved on. Right now she is more comfortable with women, she can be skittish of men. She did well in the car and at the vets for her exam. Emilia has never been on a leash, she is working on that. Training will help her build self confidence and form a bond with her new family. Emilia deserves to know what a real family is, one that will love, care for and cherish her.
Amber
ADOPTED 09/02/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes

Amber was surrendered to us as she was not getting along with the other resident female dog. Amber likes to be the alpha, so she would do better with a non dominant dog. She has been around children and did well. She also did well with a visiting a larger laid back dog, although she does play rough. As you can imagine her world as she knew it has been turned upside down. We are giving her time to settle in so that we can get to know her better.
Updates:Amber is a well mannered girl who does well walking on a leash or just sitting at your feet. Regardless of what you're doing, she is happy, so long as she with you. She is a serious pup, that is reserved around strangers. Once you've earned her trust she's a very warm and loving dog. Amber isn't the dog that's going to jump and bark to show her affection. She's the dog that walks up, rubs up against your leg, then sits down and leans on you to accept your calm affection. Amber can sit and stay, but is still working on down. This is a very well mannered lady that will make someone a wonderful companion!
Sophia
ADOPTED 09/01/2018!
Good With Kids: Unknown

Sophia along with other family members were dumped at shelter. Not often we are happy when dogs are dumped at shelters, but in this families case they are lucky they were. The family of Shepherds lived outside, no vet care, no vaccines, no preventatives. They were all crawling with fleas and ticks. Sophia has a secondary skin infection caused by the flea infestation. She is currently on antibiotics. She is so very sweet, she enjoyed spending time with our volunteers being loved on. She did well in the car and at the vets for her exam. Sophia deserves to know what a real family is, one that will love, care for and cherish her.
Updates:Sophia has settled nicely into her foster home. It is a big transition from being outside all of the time to being in a home with a family. When Sophia first arrived, she sat by the door expecting to be put outside. Over time, she is understanding that inside with her people is a good place to be. She sleeps in her crate without whining or crying unless she needs to go out. Sophia loves treats and takes them very gently even from the resident children. She also loves walks but is a little hesitant of things she doesn't know. Sophia is getting medicated baths a few times a week to help clear up some skin issues she currently has from her past neglect before MAGSR. But, Sophia is a trooper and takes everything in stride. If you're looking for a dog that will bond to you for life, Sophia is the girl for you!
Rocky
ADOPTED 08/28/2018!
Good With Kids: Older Kids Only
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Rocky was an owner surrender as his person had no time for him. It is so important when taking on the responsibility of a pet that you have the time and patience to work with. Rocky is a 6 month old untrained big puppy. He was not taught any manners, nor were his puppy behaviors addressed. He will jump on people, he is mouthy, will chew things he shouldn't and have accidents in the house. He is in need a good training program and a family that will teach him acceptable behavior. Socializing him with lots of people and other dogs is critical, as it is with all dogs. Due to his lack of manners we will not place him in a home with very young children. He will need a strong leader who is willing to work with him and burn off his high puppy energy. Prior puppy GSD experience is required.
Updates:Rocky has made good progress with socialization and rules in his foster home. He goes for walks with the resident GSD several times a day and passes many other unruly dogs in the community and he is learning to be on his best behavior and waits in a sit until they pass. Rocky is learning he does not have to be jealous of other dogs and getting attention and by waiting patiently for his turn, he gets a lot of love and attention. Rocky is working on sit, place and heel and is learning quickly. Rocky is nervous meeting people and doesn't like people approaching him until he's ready to meet them. Rocky is being desensitized to random objects around the house like trash cans, recycle bins and yard signs - all things that when initially in his foster home, freaked him out. Rocky is an insecure boy that needs confidence that everything isn't going to hurt him. He is learning to trust his foster mom and his loving personality is coming out towards her and he sits at her feet whenever he can. It will take time for Rocky to build trust with his human - patience, commitment and training is a must with Rocky. If Rocky sounds like a good fit for your household, please ask to meet him.
Sirius
ADOPTED 08/26/2018!
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?
Sirius along with other family members were dumped at shelter. Not often we are happy when dogs are dumped at shelters, but in this families case they are lucky they were. The family of Shepherds lived outside, no vet care, no vaccines, no preventatives. They were all crawling with fleas and ticks. Sirius 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.
