Akiva has been living outside since his person passed away. He so wants to be a part of a family and enjoying the comforts of a home. He will need a refresher course on house and leash manners, along with basic obedience training. While he got along with the neighbors dogs, he did not enjoy the company of the small dog in the home, could be he was jealous that the small dog lived indoors, while he lived chained up outside. Please give this handsome boy the chance to once again enjoy the comforts of a home and the love of a family.

It takes a special family to adopt a senior dog; it's uncertain how much time you'll have together and how much of that time will be pain-free. But the love you receive from a senior dog can be some of the most rewarding you will experience. Cheri is a senior who has had a difficult life, and is seeking a loving family to be her forever home.

Cheri was picked up as a 9 year old stray and placed in a local shelter, which contacted MAGSR to help find her a home. The veterinarian found that she was likely used as a breeding dog, and potentially dumped when she could no longer have litters of puppies. They also found that she had cancerous mammary tumors and a bad skin infection. With the help of our vet, we were able to remove the tumors, heal her infection, and she is now living in a foster home.

Since her recovery and adjustment to foster life, her personality has shown through. She loves to go for car rides and walks, finding giant sticks to carry along the way, and she absolutely loves to play ball. She can be standoffish with other dogs, especially if she doesn't know them, and thinks some cats look like tasty treats. And while she hasn't had any specific problems with children, we think she may be too protective and shepherding for a family that would often have children running about. But most of all, Cheri just wants to be near her family and have a soft place to snuggle into. If you would like to meet Cheri, please contact our Adoptions Coordinator for more information.
