These are the most recent MAGSR adoptions. Dogs adopted prior to 2016 can be found here.
Dexter
ADOPTED 02/04/2017!
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?
Dexter was a stray to a shelter where his family never came looking for him. We received the plea to help this very sweet boy. He was heartworm positive and needed medical attention. Dexter has completed his heartworm treatment and is now ready to meet all those interested in giving him his forever home. He is such a sweet boy, very well mannered and loves to play with other dogs. Please consider Dexter for your family.
Updates:Dexter is an affectionate doggie who likes to play with other dogs and hangs with people. He enjoys meeting new friends on walks and does not seem to mind kids if they are gentle.
He is house and crate-trained (he prefers to sleep in bed with his people though). He is a little timid around vacuums and hairdryers but he is good in the house otherwise.
He is not destructive nor a barker. However, he does get mouthy like a puppy when he is excited! he will be a wonderful addition to any family that will provide him with structure, training and exercise.
Ginger
ADOPTED 02/04/2017!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 12
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Ginger was surrendered to us through no fault of her own. She was not abused or neglected. But unfortunately, her family did not have enough time for her. She's a very nice, confident, outgoing, beautiful girl who has a lot going for her! She's already had some obedience training, knows her basic commands in German and is crate trained. Her family reported that she was great with their young children and newborn child. She's an active and intelligent girl who loves to go for car rides and loves to play fetch with the ball. She would benefit from being in a home where she will have daily activity and exercise with a family that will commit to her for the rest of her life. We will provide further updates as we learn more about her.
Updates:Now that Ginger is in a foster home, we have had an opportunity to learn even more about her. She is getting along well with male and female shepherds that are even keeled, well balanced dogs who are just slightly older than her. However, she will not do well with dominant dogs or dogs who inappropriately invade her personal space. She would also do fine in a home as the only pet so that she receives 100% of all the attention. She responds very well to corrections and praise.
In our fenced yard, she is extremely obedient to her commands. She likes her crate and will go in on her own to relax. She rides great in a vehicle. She is a medium activity level girl and is what you would expect from a 5 year old. Overall, she is very eager to please.
Ginger was returned as she was not doing well with the 6 year old child in the adoptive home. She did do well with the 11 year old child.
She will require an experienced handler and someone who is committed to attending training classes with a qualified trainer.
Shadow
ADOPTED 02/04/2017!
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?
Shadow was adopted from our rescue when he was just a puppy in 2008. Sadly, his adopters decided they no longer wanted him. As you can imagine, Shadow’s world as he knew it has been turned upside down. He is currently in a loving foster home with his foster family helping him with the adjustment, but we’re sure he obviously does not understand what is going on or where his family is.
Shadow’s foster family reports he is an amazing dog, cute and complete love bug. They also report he is a wonderful fur-sibling to the resident dogs and is getting along great with them – he submits to them. Shadow has chased the resident cats a couple of times, but for the most part is very calm around them. Shadow’s fosters report he has been a wonderful and respectful house guest and knows some obedience training, and knows how to “speak” as well.
For a senior dog, Shadow gets around great and has a good amount of energy and could lose a few pounds. Shadow would love to once again have a family and home of his very own. Please do not let Shadow’s age deter you, as he has a lot of love to share.
Khalessi
ADOPTED 01/29/2017!
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?
Khalessi cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little girl, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses. Khalessi was surrendered to MAGSR because her family could no longer care for her. Khalessi 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 10-12 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, Khalessi will become even more of an amazing girl than she already is. Please inquire if Khalessi sounds like a good match for your family.
Loli
ADOPTED 01/27/2017!
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?
Loli had a rough start in life but luckily her guardian angel changed all of that. Loli was found in the Dominican Republic by a woman who was there with the Peace Corps. Loli was not in good shape, needing medical care and good nutrition. She was brought back to the USA so that she could find a family who will love and care for her for the rest of her life.
Loli gets along very well with other dogs of all sizes, she is quite submissive. She has lived with cats, she will chase but not aggressively, she just wants to play. She has never lived with children, but many children would visit her while she still in the DR. Loli still has some weight to gain and she is making progress. She was examined by a vet, given de-wormer and all of her vaccines. Loli does experience some diarrhea which is being worked on with a change in diet. Loli needs training, guidance and of course lots of love for her lifetime.
