Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Luna
ADOPTED 09/05/2018!
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?
Luna 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. When Luna arrived we noticed she has lazy eyes and was uncoordinated, along with a lump on her head. The vet did a thorough exam, Luna's eye sight seems fine, but the vet feels that she may have suffered from head trauma which caused the lump and the unsteadiness. She may or may not improve with time. With all of that aside she is a beautiful, playful and curious puppy. She deserves a special family who sees the beauty she is. 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:Luna is doing very well in her foster home. Luna pounces everywhere and loves to play with her foster brother and gets along well with the other resident dogs as well, who are all much bigger than she is. Luna's foster parents are teaching her how to do steps in the home and she's working hard to master them. Luna is food motivated, incredibly affectionate and loves everyone - she loves to snuggle and give licks and kisses. If Luna sounds like a good fit for your family, please ask to meet this sweet girl.
Astro
ADOPTED 09/03/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes

Astro came to us an owner surrender. This is a perfect example why you do not get a child a dog and expect them to be the caregiver. The child, after 3 weeks no longer was interested in caring for him, even though he promised he would. The parent did not have time, nor the knowledge to care for a GSD puppy. Astro did not have training and was doing your typical puppy behaviors...chewing, jumping, nipping. Without structure, guidance and training to teach good manners his puppy behaviors continued as no one taught him otherwise. Astro is now in the care of a loving foster learning acceptable behaviors, good manners, getting lots of exercise and structure. Astro is a sweet boy, he will need a family to continue to provide him with training and structure, along with positive reinforcement.
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
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
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
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
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!
