Mazie
ADOPTED 01/22/2022!
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?
Mazie and Sadie were well-loved members of their family. Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside of their control, the girls' family needed to find them a new home. MAGSR was honored to step-up and provide Mazie and Sadie with a safe haven while we looked for the perfect forever for these girls.
Mazie is a special girl. Her family welcomed her home after a breeder considered putting her down after being born with a congenital defect. Although Mazie required a little extra time and support, she was welcomed home to a family that taught her how to walk, play, and interact just like any other dog. Mazie is a little confused by all of the changes in her life. As a result, she needs a little extra time to warm up to new people. However, when provided with leadership and guidance, Mazie warms up to new people and leans in for affection.
If Mazie sounds like a good match for your household, ask to meet her today.
Updates:Mazie is doing incredibly well in her foster home and has made a lot of progress. In that time we have found she does great with bath, blow dry and nail trim. Mazie is not food aggressive, nor is she food motivated but will be enticed with a high value treat such as chicken nugget. She is on a routine and happy to go outside to potty every 4 hours and does well in her crate.
She is on medication to help her with her bladder which she will have an occasional over excited dribble. When at home she likes to play with stuffed toys, balls, and chew on bully stick. The recent snow accumulations have shown her love of snow and frolicking in it. Exuberantly wants to play with other dogs, teaching/training to play easy, calm and when needed leave it. She will happily go for a car ride with you and give kisses. Mazie will howl when she hears firetrucks or sirens. She is working on sit, stay, off and with me and continued training will allow her to thrive. Ask to meet Mazie today!
Mazie is currently in board and training for 2 weeks and working on her reaction to some dogs and as well as obedience. She does well with small dogs but sometimes does not realize her size. She walks well on the leash and loves to be with her person. She enjoys going for car rides, giving kisses and playing with stuffed toys but should be durable as she will rip them apart. She does well with kids and adults. She is mostly housebroken with limited accidents due to her medical condition. She will sit pretty for a peanut butter treat. If you're looking for an all weather type of girl she will gladly walk/run through rain, snow, sleet and does not mind thunderstorms. Luckily she also is very good with getting baths,grooming and being wiped down, for those extra muddy sessions : ).Does Mazie sound like the dog for you?!
Ralph
ADOPTED 01/22/2022!
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?
Ralph is a big, handsome, social guy. He likes dogs of varied sizes and has clearly been well socialized. As Ralph is still very young, it is critical that his forever family continue to socialize him appropriately. This will help him develop into a stable dog. As a playful guy, Ralph is looking for an active household that will exercise both his mind and his body on a daily basis. As we do not know anything about Ralph's past, in many ways he is a clean slate. He will benefit from structure, routine, and leadership. Ralph's family will need to make sure that he gets into training early. This will help Ralph bond to his forever family; it will also help him develop the skills and confidence he will need to become a good canine citizen.
Unfortunately, we have learned that Ralph is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if he had been provided with monthly heartworm prevention. MAGSR is beginning Ralph's heartworm treatment. Although treatment is expensive, sweet Ralph is beyond worth the cost. Please consider donating toward Ralph's treatment. Your generosity will help us save him and other dogs with medical needs. Although Ralph will need to take it slow over the next few months, he will be back to full strength once his treatment is finished.
If Ralph sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet this boy today.
Updates:Ralph has been in foster for 2 weeks and has changed so much in a short amount of time. When Ralph arrived, he seemed to be nervous, unhappy, and a bit fearful. He quickly attached himself to his foster mom, but he was standoffish toward the two males in the home. After one session with a trainer, we learned some techniques to get him to warm up to the males. After a couple of days, he was a completely different dog! He is now Mr. Happy Go Lucky and friendly to everyone, including multiple strangers (male and female) who have come to the foster's home in the last week.
Ralph loves other dogs. He loves his foster brother Vader, and they would play together well if we could let him (we can’t yet because he is heartworm positive). He sleeps in the crate at night. He goes in easily (with a treat!), Ralph is housebroken (as long as you are paying attention to his clue). Ralph is learning to walk on a leash, and is nonreactive when he sees other dogs on our walks. Ralph has started to learn his commands, such as sit. He is a smart, fast learner. He does not chew things he shouldn’t, and occasionally plays with a bone. Overall, Ralph is a happy, loving dog who would do well with any family. He craves affection. His favorite thing is bellyrubs – when we approach him, he often drops to his back to give us the sign!
Jill
ADOPTED 01/17/2022!
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?
Jill, her mom, and her six siblings - Amy, Joe, Mikey, Monica, Phoebe, and Rachael - were dumped on a country road in the south. Covered in ringworm, emaciated, and clearly not well cared for, this little family needed help and quickly. Fortunately, a good samaritan found this family and got them to the safety of a shelter. Although shelter staff did a wonderful job getting this family the help they needed, they knew that moms and puppies do not belong in a shelter environment. As a result, a rescue plea went out. When we heard that this little family needed help, MAGSR immediately stepped forward.
Jill's loving, affectionate, and playful. She is everything that a puppy should be. Although this little girl is a doll, please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy energy and antics. They get into things, whine, and will chew on inappropriate items. With time, patience, and training, Jill will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to become. Jill is looking for a loving forever household that will commit to her for a lifetime. If your family is looking for puppy kisses, antics, and wiggles, please ask to meet Jill today.
Katie Ann
ADOPTED 01/16/2022!
, 
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 16
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Lovely Katie Ann was picked up as a stray and sheltered by another rescue while they waited for her stray hold. Unfortunately, no one came forward to claim this lovely girl. Although they enjoyed their time with Katie Ann, the rescue caring for her felt that she would be most likely to find her forever family if she moved into a breed specific rescue. When asked if we could help Katie Ann take the next step toward her forever home, MAGSR immediately stepped forward.
Katie Ann is an affectionate and friendly girl especially with her people. She greatly enjoys the company of the people within her sphere and seems to understand the ins and outs of living with a family. However, as is true with most shepherds, Katie Ann will overbond if given the opportunity. This can cause her to become overprotective of her people, her property, and her home. In order to meet with success, Katie Ann is looking for an experienced household that will work with her to develop a healthy relationship. Boundaries and clear expectations are very helpful to her success. Katie Ann will thrive with routine, leadership, and structure. Training will also go a long way with this lovely girl. Not only will training help Katie Ann bond to her forever family, but it will also help her develop into a good and stable canine citizen. Katie Ann has already begun to learn some basics with our volunteers, but she will flourish with continued training. Although Katie Ann can be walked calmly in areas with other dogs, she is looking for a home where she is the only dog. Best placed with a confident handler, Katie Ann is looking for an active family that will commit to her for a lifetime. If this lovely lady sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today.
Koda
ADOPTED 01/15/2022!
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?
Lovely Koda was adopted out as a young adult. She lived in a household with young children and a cat. Although she did well with everyone in the household, Koda's family could no longer care for her. As a result, they surrendered her to a shelter. Knowing Koda was a MAGSR dog, the shelter called us to let us know that they had Koda in their care. We immediately asked to bring Koda back into the MAGSR family.
Koda is a lovely lady. She is sweet and affectionate. Having lived in a household prior to her return, Koda understands many of the ins and outs of living in a home; however, she will need a little time to adjust to the expectations in her forever family's home. Koda has lived with a cat but has been known to do a little chasing from time to time. In her foster home, Koda lives with other dogs and has done very well. She seems to enjoy pack life and does well in a stable pack. A big fan of fetch, Koda loves to get her daily exercise in while running around after a ball. She is also a big fan of her daily walks.
As happens as we get older, Koda has developed a few age related medical conditions. She does have pannus and will require daily eye medication in order to keep her comfortable. Fortunately, her medication is easy to find Koda is good about having it applied. In addition, Koda has developed some arthritis. As a result, it is unlikely that she will not be running marathons in her forever home. Although Koda has a few additional medical needs, she is a fantastic companion who enjoys spending time with her people. If your family is looking for a mature lady with a love for snuggles, please consider adding Koda to your family.
