Murphy
ADOPTED 08/12/2018!
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?
Murphy made his way to us from a shelter where he was a stray. We have no past history for him, so we are getting to know him. He requires a slower approach when meeting new people. He is in need of training which will help him learn good manners, build his confidence and bond with his new family.
Updates:Murphy is an interesting high energy pup. He’s likely had very little structure in his life to this point and is in need of a strong willed person or family to help guide his future and provide consistent and strong structure, especially with his indoor manners. He’s easy to leash up and walk, both on long and short leash. He’s loves car rides but seems unfamiliar with exiting or entering the car. He is unfamiliar with stairs but is learning to handle them quickly. He has a very high ball drive and will bring the ball back to his human as long as the ball is thrown again. Murphy loves his humans of all ages and wants to be with them always. He needs some work on his manners and is prone to countertop surfing. He also needs help learning that his crate is a safe place to stay. He takes treats gently and is very treat motivated. He is happy to work with anyone willing to give him a chance, could that be you?
Murphy is a sweet boy who takes time to get to know you. Once he decides you're his friend, you are allowed the honor of bestowing belly rubs! And then come the kisses! He's great on leash, sitting at stops while in heel, knows basic obedience and follows his handler. He's VERY food driven, which is a very handy training tool. He is going to need someone who can commit to the exercise and training he needs to keep his mind and body healthy. He's such a handsome boy, do you think you have room for Murphy in your heart and home?

Good With Kids: Older kids, over 12

Shasta has lived her life in a crate, up to 23 hours a day. Due to this she is under socialized and fearful. She needs an adopter that has experience, has the time and patience to help her to adjust to life outside of a crate. A good training program and commitment from her person is very much needed. She has met other dogs and handled non dominate dogs the best, she ran away from dogs that were trying to dominate her. Due to her fearfulness we will not place her in a home with young children. Shasta is learning to trust our volunteers, but requires a slow approach. She relaxed some when she was introduced to a squeaky toy, she ran and jumped around like a puppy.
Shasta will only meet potential adopters who have experience with GSD's that are not well socialized. Shasta needs a home where she is safe, a quieter home without a lot of commotion. At this time she is a flight risk and will require to be on leash when outside. She will not meet families with children under the age of 12.
Updates:Shasta has made a lot of progress while in our care. She has come out of her shell and has gained confidence, she is no longer fearful. She has become silly, outgoing and playful. She is friendly with people and excited to see our volunteers. Shasta still needs to learn how to properly interact with other dogs. Her overly excited approach when meeting other dogs may not be tolerated by other dogs. She loves the water and her squeaky toy, a pool keeps her quite occupied and provides her humans with entertainment. She has energy to spare, so a family who has the time and energy to work with her both physically and mentally will help keep her energy in check. If you are looking for a laid back dog, Shasta is not for you. If you enjoy running, long walks and lots of playtime Shasta would be a great choice.
Tzar
ADOPTED 08/11/2018!
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?
Tzar came to us as an owner surrender as his human mom recently had surgery that kept her from being able to provide him with any exercise. Wanting what was best for him, she entrusted us to find him a family that could provide him a life he deserves. In his previous home he lived with cats and got along fine. He did well meeting other dogs and children while being walked. He seems to be a well rounded boy with a great disposition. Of course training will help not only Tzar, but his new family learn more about each other and set things up for a lifetime of good manners
Apollo
ADOPTED 08/10/2018!
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?
Apollo cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little boy, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses. Apollo has a lot to learn about going a good canine citizen and will require training. 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. Puppies are full of energy and can be mischievous – they will whine, have accidents, get into things, and chew on inappropriate things. With time, patience, guidance and training, Apollo will become even more of an amazing boy than he already is. Please inquire if Apollo sounds like a good match for your family.
Xena
ADOPTED 08/07/2018!
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?
Xena found herself as a stray sitting in a shelter. She is very sweet, full of kisses and thinks she's a lap dog once she gets to know you. Upon first meeting Xena she is timid and unsure of herself, but given time she relaxes. She seems to be more comfortable with women than she is with men. With the men she has met while in our care she preferred to keep her distance by staying at the end of the leash. Our male volunteers are handling her to help feel more secure with men. She will need a family who can help her build confidence, providing structure, socialization and training will greatly help.
