Snowball and her brother, Ottis, found themselves at a scary and overcrowded shelter. Although these babies are cute as can be, due to a lack of space, they quickly needed out as they were living on borrowed time. Fortunately, the right people got involved and both Snowball and Ottis found the MAGSR family in time. 

She is a smart, confident, sweetheart - a very fun puppy!

Snowball is an intelligent and confident girl. She is ready to try new things and wants some independence while doing so. A little sweetheart who will ask for love when she is ready, Snowball is hoping to find a forever family that will give her the opportunity to continue to socialize with a variety of people, places, and animals. Socialization is key to raising a happy and healthy pup. Although Snowball is an absolute doll, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew on inappropriate things, have accidents, and fill your home with puppy antics. With structure, routine, and leadership, Snowball will develop into the stable and confident adult we know that she is destined to become. If this lovely little girl sounds like the right match for your household, please ask to meet her today. 

Maize is finding her way through this crazy maze we humans call life, and unfortunately through the twist and turns, has found herself at a temporary dead end. Her former family loved her, but had a life changing event that has left this smart, calm, obedient, perfectly trained, and stunning girl in the care of MAGSR. 

We are excited to share what we know about Maize, and let us tell you - she is AH-MAIZE-ING!  Her history reads more like an Ivy-League education too!  She began her training with the breeder, Haus Juris, and finished her most recent training with Diamond Kennels. Since Maize was properly bred and has good bloodlines, she has an incredible temperament, is calm and possesses the traits of an absolute gem of a GSD.  Her training was proactive and not to address any particular behavioral issues. While at the vet and outside the home, she has 5-star behavior without the aid of sedation or muzzling and often was paid many compliments. There are no concerns of aggression towards humans, nor are there concerns with other dogs.  She is house trained (will cue by sitting near the door for a break), crate trained (responds to Kennel) and so much more. I suppose you can say the only issue that has been reported was Maize’s puzzlement of a rouge plastic bag flailing in the dark of night. 

Maize’s extensive training really shines while you’re out on a walk showing this beauty off - she will maintain your pace and obey every command, with her attention split between the smells or things around her and the owner during walks. Maize is a joy with strangers and does not often jump on her own accord (it’s hard for some of us humans not to ask for a hug from this stunner!).  She often does pay close attention when dogs (sometimes hackles go up) and people pass by, but that attention to both is clearly due to interest rather than territoriality or aggression. As having been properly socialized while she was a puppy, neighborhood dogs have routinely approached and she has displayed playfulness on every occasion and just wants to make friends. Maize has also been fully desensitized to loud noises, city noises, and the like and has never shown any alarm with cars driving by, honking, etc.

As if all that wasn’t enough already, Maize's best qualities are her gentle and loving personality, goofiness, physical fitness, general obedience, but also, her complete lack of aggression and mischievous behavior. Maize really does care about being a good dog and wants to please her owners. The only thing she needs to work on would be to help her manage her small bit of anxiety and excitement - this has been noted to happen sometimes in the car when she doesn’t know where we are going and is sometimes a bit over-excited home greetings.

As with any beauty, Maize enjoys days at the spa, and LOVES being brushed in-between spa days!  As with all German Shepherds, Maize will continue to grow and flourish when provided with the essentials - structure, boundaries, routines, guidance and training. If she sounds just as AH-MAIZE-ING to you as she does to us, then please find your way to MAGSR and ask to see Maize today!
