Mia
ADOPTED 05/05/2017!
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?
Mia was adopted from our rescue when she was just a puppy in 2014. Sadly, through no fault of her own, her adopter returned her to MAGSR. As you can imagine, Mia’s world as she knew it has been turned upside down. She is currently in a loving foster home with her foster family helping her with the adjustment. Mia’s foster reports that Mia is adjusting nicely to her foster family and resident dog, is calm and loves the kids. Mia is crate trained, walks well on a leash and knows her basic commands. If a laid back dog is what your family is looking for, please ask to meet Mia.
Updates:Mia's foster reports that she is the perfect companion dog. Mia is content to be where her humans are. Each night before bed, Mia stretches out to for affection and to snuggle. Mia loves to play outside and go for walks - she walks perfectly on the leash. While out on her walks, Mia greets all of the people she meets with tail wags and kisses. Mia also loves riding and to go places - she jumps right up in the vehicle and lays down in the back on the floor in a small ball. If you are looking for a best friend and companion, Mia could definitely be it! Please ask to meet Mia today.
Mysti
ADOPTED 04/30/2017!
Good With Kids: Yes

Mysti's former owner surrendered her as he did not have time for her and his brothers alpha female GSD was attacking her. This is the reason that Mysti has some scratches and scars on her nose/muzzle, but they make her no less beautiful. Mysti was being kept in an all black wire metal crate, which was too small for her, out in the sun in 80 degree temperatures. Mysti loves rope toys, kongs and knuckle bones which she will carry around in her mouth. She rides well in a vehicle and did well at her vet visit. She enjoys having her belly rubbed. With proper training, love and encouragement Mysti will be a wonderful family dog.
Duncan
ADOPTED 04/30/2017!
Good With Kids: Unknown

Duncan is a handsome young GSD mix. He has had no training and is full of puppy energy. He adores people, sharing snuggles and puppy kisses. He will require training and guidance so that he understands what is expected of him which will help he be a well behaved family member. Duncan will be a great running or hiking partner, which in turn will help burn some of his energy.
Cyndal
ADOPTED 04/30/2017!
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?
Cyndal was found as a stray and taken to a shelter. She is a sweet, sweet girl who gets along very well with other dogs. She adores people, although we have not seen her with children yet. We also do not know how she would do with cats as she has not met any yet. When Cyndal showed up at the shelter she was missing a rear leg, no one has any history on this as she was stray. She has no problems getting around with only 3 legs. In fact tri-paws adapt to a missing limb and can pretty much do all of the same things as 4 legged dogs. Please don't let her missing limb deter you from asking to meet Cyndal to see for yourself how well she gets around and just how sweet she is.
Updates:Cyndal plays with her new toy. She's settling in at her foster home.
Riley
ADOPTED 04/30/2017!
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?
Riley was surrenderedto us after her family could not longer provide for her. Initially, she was very concerned and anxious about what had happened to the world she used to know. But with time and patience, she has settled in to her new routine at the kennel and has become much better. She's bonded very well to two volunteers in particular and loves to please them.
She is extremely intelligent and loves to learn new things as we attempt to keep her mind stimulated. She appears to be very social with other dogs and we are working on learning about her in that regard. She loves to go on car rides, play ball and can be playful and slightly vocal when in play mode.
Riley lived with children and cats in her previous home. However, just because she grew up with children and cats from puppyhood, this does not guarantee that she will peacefully coexist with every child and/or cat she meets that are new to her. We will not place her in a home with children unless she appears to be completely comfortable with them.
In addition, because of hervery fearful behavior after being surrendered to us, her introductions to new people needs to be taken slowly as she seems to be wary of those she doesn't know. If you are interested in her, please be aware that your introduction may take place over more than one visit with her to help build a relationship with her. She had a difficult time with change but we are committed to helping her get to her forever home and this is a process that may take time.
She will require an experienced handler who understands the undesirable behaviors that fearful dogs can exhibit and how to deal with those behaviors should she be put into a situation that is anything less than completely comfortable for her.
We will continue to update you as we learn more about her.
UPDATE: Riley continues to do well! We recently introduced her to MAGSR alum Snowy, a well socialized, even-keeled, passive female. Riley was very inquisitive about her new canine pal. They got along extremely well during our long walk. In addition to her social interaction, we also introduced her to the in ground pool where she is currently residing. It didn't take her long and she was in the pool swimming like a champ! She seemed very comfortable in the water and quickly learned where the steps were to enter and exit the pool. She's also been on the agility equipment and has been seen following her handler across the catwalk.
