Adopted MAGSR Dogs
These are the most recent MAGSR adoptions. Dogs adopted prior to 2016 can be found here.
Sam
ADOPTED 07/02/2017!
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?
Sam was adopted from a shelter, his new family took him for board and train but never came back for him. He ended up back in the shelter looking for another chance.
He is young, playful and full of energy. He would benefit from training, guidance and lots of exercise.
Ebony
ADOPTED 07/01/2017!
Good With Kids: Unknown

Ebony came to us with her brother Nero. We do not have any history on them. Ebony is somewhat scared with all of the changes in her life. She gets along well with other dogs. She is a puppy and will require patients, guidance, training, ongoing socialization with people and other dogs. Helping build her confidence will go a long way.
Updates:Ebony has settled nicely into her foster home. She is working on housetraining, but she is not there yet. She really likes the resident dogs and would love to find a family with another playful pup to keep her company. She is good with the cats - mostly she ignores them, but sometimes she chases them (she just wants to play). She is still a little bit scared on walks, although having her "big sister" GSD along makes it a lot less scary. She is affectionate and playful and eager to please. She will be quick to learn obedience skills. Right now her foster is building some confidence and teaching her that new things don't have to be scary. If Ebony sounds like the dog for you please ask to meet this sweet girl.
Chet
ADOPTED 06/25/2017!
Good With Kids: Yes

Chet was picked up as a stray in MD. He waited at the shelter for his family but no one came to claim him. Chet has put that sad life behind him and is now ready for his forever family- one who will never abandon him.
Updates:Chet is understandably confused after being returned due to no fault of his own. Chet is a nice dog, pretty easy to handle and corrects pretty easily. Chet appears to be responsive and eager to please. If Chet sounds like he could be a good match for your family, please ask to meet him.
Chet has fun with his girlfriends
Chet is a complete sweetie! He loves all people and getting belly rubs. Chet is a big, strong boy who has greatly improved his leash manners and knows that it is not appropriate to pull on the leash when he walked. Chet absolutely loves going for walks! He is currently learning how to act properly when we come across other dogs on walks by not pulling and barking. Chet loves being the only dog in his foster home and would prefer to keep it that way when adopted. He seems to really enjoy time out on the deck just siting and people watching. He is crate trained during the day and gets free roam of the house at night when he sleeps. He has excellent house manners and makes no attempt to get into anything that he shouldn't. If Chet sounds like the perfect pup for your family, ask to meet him now.
Sadie

Sadie came to us as an owner surrender due to changes in the families living situation. She is a young energetic girl who will need an active family to keep her busy. Training will help Sadie learn good manners and proper leash skills. She enjoys the water and playing with other dogs.
Foxy
ADOPTED 06/24/2017!
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?
Foxy landed herself in a shelter after her family would not care for her or comply with animal control. She waited at the Animal Shelter for a month, hoping her former owners would fix their fence and bring her home, but they never did. Foxy is an energetic friendly little girl whose enthusiasm for walks and play makes her seem much younger than five. Sweet Foxy is ready for a forever home that will give her lots of walks and belly rubs. Foxy needs a patient owner as she is understandably anxious and will need someone to set calm boundaries for her, her while she settles into home life again.
Foxy loves meeting new people. She has been wonderful with children and responded to a child stepping on her paw by crying and showing her belly. She was clearly housebroken, but after such a long time in a kennel she should stay on a leash or crate inside, until she develops a routine of going outside. Foxy knows basic commands and rides nicely in a car. She is working on not pulling on a leash, but is not too hard to walk because she pays attention her handler. Foxy is pushy, barky, and very forward with other dogs. She is very frightened if a dog approached her while she is crated. Foxy will need to work on socialization with dogs as she greets other dogs by jumping on them. Foxy could live with another dog who does not want to dominate her and enjoys energetic play. Taking her to obedience class outside would be ideal, so she can learn to listen around other dogs, while having some space. Foxy is good in her foster house. She hasn’t chewed anything inappropriate and doesn’t mess with food on the counter or bother the trash. She is learning to stay off the couch and would certainly try to join her new owner in bed for a cuddle, if not instructed otherwise.
Foxy would be a great fit for someone who lives in an urban/suburban setting. She would be fine in an apartment. Foxy needs to be on a leash at all times outside; she has jumped a four-foot fence, for fun, and is clearly willing to dig a tunnel if bored. Foxy is going to be someone’s shadow and very best friend. If Foxy sounds like a good fit for your family, please ask to meet her.
Foxy has been in her foster home for a month now and loves being a pet, who lives indoors with her family and not left alone in the yard. Although she has a prior history of running, it seems likely that she was running away because she was bored and lonely. She does not try to rush out of doors or escape from the car. she is very committed to being with her family at all times. her only attempts to get out of the house have been to jump in the car and make sure that she's not left behind on the trip. Foxy is very agile and smart. She demonstrates good sensibilities about barking at strangers on the property, but not at every single person who passes the house on the sidewalk.
Foxy absolutely adores children and has happily attended all sorts of sporting events and made lots of friends. She enjoys getting baths and has a remarkable amount of energy for a five-year-old dog. Foxy had recurrent ear infections in her prior life, which caused scar tissue buildup in one of her ears. She requires a weekly ear cleaning, which can be done at home with an affordable medication. She loves having her ears cleaned and every other imaginable kind of touching.
She's getting along great with the resident dog, who is a super laid-back male. But she needs training to learn to not bark at other dogs. In just a month she reliably comes when she is called, sits when told to, and will drop something on command – unless it's a slice of pizza. If you love pizza; have always wanted a stalker who sits and pants, just outside of the bathroom door; and enjoy dogs in Halloween costumes Foxy is your girl.
