Jackson
ADOPTED 08/22/2018!
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?
Happy birthday Jackson! Today was Jackson's special day and we are doing everything we can to celebrate his life. Jackson came to MAGSR after he was surrendered to a shelter. We are still learning about him. But here is what we know so far. Stay tuned for updates.
He appears to have been neglected as he is very thin. However, he is interested in his food when his people are with him. He is incredibly sweet and is such a mild mannered boy. He is very quiet but is inquisitive about everything that is new to him. He is very curious about other dogs. Yet is respectful of them and has shown the desire to play with dogs that are respectful of him. Jackson does not seem to know what toys are about which is very sad. But he is happy to hang out, relax and enjoy head scratches and belly rubs. He stresses during car rides and does not stay in one place. But remains quiet throughout. Today, he was at peace lying on the grass, decompressing as he was watching the squirrels in the trees after all the changes he has been through. He will need a family that is patient, consistent and empathetic for what he may have experienced in his life previous to MAGSR. However, he walks well on leash and is happy to go where you want to explore. He will thrive with someone to show him all the world has to offer. At the present time, he doesn't appear to be a lap dog but at the same time, is a dog who is looking for someone to bond with.
Updates:Jackson has settled in nicely to his new foster home. He is house broken and a real love. Jackson loves the resident children and frequently just curls up next to them for some love while he relaxes. Right now Jackson is working on putting on some weight and has a lower energy level. As he gains weight, we are sure his energy level will increase. Jackson walks beautifully on a leash. He doesn't pull or lunge at anything including squirrels, deer, other dogs or cars. If you are looking for a loyal companion, please ask to meet Jackson. He'll be a wonderful addition to any family!
Axel
ADOPTED 08/18/2018!
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?
Axel was surrendered to us as he barked and whined too much. At only 7 months old he is still very much a puppy that needs guidance, structure, exercise and most importantly training. A young dog is a busy and energetic dog that needs both physical and mental exercise, without they become bored. Axel lived with 3 young children in his previous home and did very well with them. He also lived with another large breed dog who he got along with. Currently he is underweight, but with good nutrition and regular meals he should start gaining. With the recent changes in his life he is somewhat shy, but with stability and having the love of a new family he should gain his confidence.
Grace
ADOPTED 08/15/2018!
, 
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?
Grace came to us from a shelter we have no history on her. Since arriving in our care she has been friendly, she rides well in the car and did well at her vet visit. She previously lived wth another GSD. She of course needs training, which help her learn good behavior and manners. Grace is heartworm positive, this could have been avoided had she been kept on monthly heartworm preventatives. Grace is in the beginning stages of her heartworm treatment, which of course MAGSR is paying for her entire treatment. She will have to take it slow for the next few months while undergoes treatment, so lots of rest is in order.
Updates:Grace has completed her heartworm treatment and is now heartworm free. Once Grace bonds with her human and gets comfortable, she becomes protective of her space. This can be easily managed by putting her away in a secure room and/or crate when people come to the home. She will also benefit from a strong leader, who has prior experience with the breed, and who will provide appropriate correction and training. Grace will not meet families with children under the age of 16. Grace is very excited to be able to run and play just like any other dog once again. Now she’s even more interested in finding her forever home and family to share her love with. Could that be your family?
Miss Grace is just as beautiful, sweet, bouncy, and eager-to-please a dog as you could ask to meet. She’s doing wonderfully in her foster home, crates beautifully, does great out and about in the car and in public places, loves her foster siblings, and bonds tightly to her person. She’s been going to training just about every Saturday for months and has developed very nice obedience – she knows her basic commands, and she is great at staying where she’s been put in a sit or a down and won’t move – well except for her tail which is pretty much always wagging! Grace is protective of her space with people she doesn’t know, and needs consistent handling and proper introductions, but once she warms up to someone, Grace’s wonderfully upbeat and happy personality shines right through – with her bushy happy tail “always on!” Please ask to learn more about Grace if you think she might be a good match for your family.
Sawyer
ADOPTED 08/14/2018!
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?
Sawyer came to us an owner surrender. In his previous home he lived with young children, unfortunately one of the children is autistic and he was not treating Sawyer kindly. Sawyer would growl, then get up and move away. This was not fair to Sawyer so the family felt it was best for Sawyer to find a new home where he would be treated kindly. He is a handsome long hair boy, his coat does need some care and a good grooming. His foster mom has been working on getting the matts out and Sawyer will be having a spa day. He has made himself at home in his foster home, he's a very nice boy.
Ballot
ADOPTED 08/13/2018!
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?
Ballot came to us an owner surrender as his former person took ill and could no longer care for him. He is a large, very handsome, long haired male. His coat is not in the best condition at this time as he did not receive the grooming a long coated dog requires. He will be a having a spa day to remove dirt and matted fur. He is a friendly boy, he does need to learn some good manners which training will help with him,
Updates:Howdy! Ballot checking in. I'm very happy here and my humans love me a lot. We have a lot of fun. I'm learning a lot too....mostly what not to do. I've started making a list of things I'm not supposed to do:
- Steal towels, especially when they are wrapped around a human.
- Get in the shower with my humans.
- Lift the lid on the toilet to get a drink.
- Bite the hand of the person throwing my ball.
- Counter-surf
- Sit on the tables
- Sit on the kids laying on the floor
- Recycling bin inspections.
- Run off with socks and underwear laid out for the kids
- Nibble while giving kisses.
- Run off with and hide shoes.
- Look the humans in the eye while we're both standing
- Lay on the kids while cleaning their faces (this is very hard not to do because they are really squeaky when you do this)
- Pick out my own books from the bookshelves.
- Put both front feet in the water bowl when drinking.
- Open the door myself.
- Grab and eat the fish food containers
Did I mention that I'm pretty? I'm also pretty good at getting in my crate when told, and waiting for the humans to go up and down the stairs first. I'm learning to sit and wait for the humans to go through the door first. I love to play ball and am very good at catching them in the air. They tell me I'm pretty smart and learning quickly, I just have a lot to learn right now. I'm very friendly with all the humans that come in the house and the ones we meet outside too. I don't let my humans get too far away because they like me to keep an eye on them. I love love love the pool and get in it everytime I go outside.
I get fed three times a day and am trying to add a few pounds to help me fill out a bit. My humans comb and condition my hair everyday, it makes me smell awesome and my hair is sooo soft now. I still have a few clumps behind my ears and at the back of my head but we're working on them.
The pool is calling my name so I better get going. Bark at ya laterz,
Ballot
