Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Brielle cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little girl, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses. Brielle has a lot to learn about being 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 ten to twelve 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, Brielle will become even more of an amazing girl than she already is. If interested and she sounds like a good match for your family, please submit an adoption application!    

Prax was surrendered to a shelter as he enjoyed running through the family's electric fence in order to explore the neighborhood. As a 90lb shepherd with a busy nose, the electric fence didn't seem to be much of a barrier for Prax particularly, if there was something interesting on the other side. Although losing his family must have been very confusing, Prax's goofy, fun-loving, and affectionate personality has remained intact. Prax is a social guy. Delighted by the opportunity to meet new people, Prax is all about big tail wags, wiggles, and kisses. Although he seems to enjoy the company of children, he would be best suited for a household with older children as his exuberance and size can be too much for little ones.  

At this time Prax is housebroken and crate trained. He enjoys the option of taking breaks in his crate and settles nicely when asked to load up. Car rides are a breeze for this big guy as he quickly settles in for the ride. Although it is apparent that Prax spent very little time on leash prior to his arrival at MAGSR, he is quickly developing his leash skills and a few commands. This may have something to do with his love for long walks and regular runs with his foster family. It is apparent that Prax is an intelligent guy who likes clear direction and leadership from his handler. With these components in place, Prax will thrive in his forever home. If Prax sounds like a good match for your family, ask to meet him today. 

Sugar was a stray to the shelter, so we have no history for her.  We do know she is sugar and spice and everything nice.  She has tested positive for Heartworms which is so easily avoidable with monthly heartworm preventatives.  She will undergo Heartworm treatment which is paid for by MAGSR.  Donations towards her treatment are kindly accepted.  She is underweight, but with proper nutrition she will be gaining weight in no time.  She also arrived at the shelter with a wound on her neck which resembles that of an embedded collar.  Her neck is being cared for and on its way to healing.  Sugar has met both male and female dogs, she did much better with the males, but was dominant over the females.  It is best for Sugar to not be placed in a home with other female dogs for this reason.  Watch for updates on this sweet girl.

Bea cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little girl, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses. Bea has a lot to learn about being 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 ten to twelve 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, Bea will become even more of an amazing girl than she already is.

I have settled nicely into my foster home. At first I was a little shy and skittish and it took a lot of coaxing to understand that there is only love, treats and kisses in this house. I still creep out of my crate but at least I am coming out of my own free will. In my short time here I have learned to fetch....and I bring it back!  I love to play with my big squeaky carrot that came to my foster house with me. I'm not really fond of my crate, but realize sometimes I need to go in it. I haven't had an accident in the house in over a week and a half so my foster mom thinks I'm housebroken.  There are two resident dogs in the house, and I don't know how to play with them, but I have stopped growling when they come near me or my crate. There may just be a bit of an adjustment time with other pups, because I have already started getting the idea that the other dogs might not be so bad! I'm dying to play with the guinea pig so my foster mom thinks I may have a little too much fun with small animals, (and yes, cats are small animals).  I'm a fantastic car rider and jump right in for whatever adventure awaits. When we're out I'm very gracious and love the attention I get. If I sound like a good fit for your family please let us know! I look forward to meeting someone who will love me forever!

Bubba was surrendered to a shelter as he was too big and had too much energy for his prior person.  At only 11 months old he is a big boy, but he was never provided training or guidance, this would have helped him to learn, along with provide daily exercise to help burn his puppy energy.  Bubba gets along fine with other dogs, but he stands back and watches first before engaging in play.  He has no idea what to do with toys. He is big, strong and has lots to learn.  Training along with structure is crucial with his new family  As he is new to us we are just learning more about him, please watch for updates. 

Riley was surrendered as her family was moving.  She lived her life on a farm with lots of room to run.  We are told she really enjoys children and loved the grandchildren.  We have yet to introduce her to or see her interact with children.  Riley has a very plush coat which will take extra time brushing her so that matts do not form in her fur.  She is a very sweet and friendly girl, settling in nicely at her foster families home.  As she just arrived in our care we are still learning more about her, please check back for updates from her foster family

Foxtrot was surrendered to a shelter for being too active. Imagine a 1 year old GSD puppy, who has had no training being too active. Sadly, too many people think dogs will train themselves, and have no idea how much exercise and mental stimulation a GSD requires. Foxtrot’s mannerisms are very much still puppy-like. He is a sweet, loving boy looking for someone to provide him with training and structure so he can be the best he can be. As he is still new to us we are still learning more about him, please watch for updates.

Thankfully, Casen was given up as he lived his life tied up outside.  This is no life for any dog, we have promised Casen he will never live outside again.  He is underweight, needing to gain approximately 20 lbs, we are working on fattening him up with good nutrition.  With spending his life tied up it’s amazing that he is such a sweet, calm boy.  He now loves to follow around his person and being loved on.  Their were children in his prior home that ran around and played outside in the yard where he was tied up, he had no bad reactions towards them, and only wanted to engage in the fun.  This was limited by the rope he was tied up with.  As he is new to us we are learning more about him, please watch for updates.

One of the largest puppy mill busts found hundreds of German Shepherd's living in absolute filth and in horrendous condition.  Ankle deep mud and feces mixed with urine, no adequate shelter, lacking food and clean water is how these dogs were left to live, many for years.  The urgent call was made and MAGSR knew we had to take in as many as possible.  We now have 38 dogs that have a multitude of medical needs that we are addressing, and they need to learn to trust humans.  All dogs are scared, some are shut down, but our volunteers and vets will get them on their road to recovery.  It will be awhile before these dogs are ready for adoption, so please be patient and watch for updates. 

An undertaking of this size for an all-volunteer rescue is quite a task, but one we are meeting it head on.  Many of the dogs require medical boarding so that they can receive the best possible care.  We are committed to providing everything they need, not only medically, but emotionally.  Our medical costs are going to be at an amount we have never seen before.  We need your help, the dogs need your help.  Please donate , your donation will go towards their ongoing care, medical needs, emotional needs and help them on their road to recovery and a brighter future.

Roxy is a sweet girl, but she does like to go slow with meeting new people.  She is timid at first and may back off when first meeting new people, but comes around with a little time.  At 9 years old she has a nice lower energy about her than that of a younger dog.  If you are looking for a lower key girl, a dog to go on leisurely strolls with then Roxy is your girl.  She does have some skin issues that we are addressing.  As she is new to us we are still learning more about her, please look for updates from her foster family.

Jango was surrendered to a shelter for being too active.  Imagine a GSD puppy who has had no training being too active.  Sadly too many people think dogs will train themselves, and have no idea how much exercise and mental stimulation a GSD requires.  Jango’s mannerisms are very much still puppy like.  He is a sweet, loving boy looking for someone to provide him with training and structure so he can be the best he can be.  As he is still new to us we are still learning more about him, please watch for updates

Stark was surrendered to a shelter for barking.  He lived his life tethered outside or in the garage.  He lived with other large dogs and did well with them.  He is described as being playful.  He will require training to help him learn leash skills and house manners.  His foster has started the process, but it is important that his new family continues with training.  Stark is now looking for a home where he will enjoy the comforts of living indoors, a comfy bed and a family that will care for and love him for his lifetime.

Blitz came to us as his prior person is being stationed out of the country and could not take him along.  Wanting only the best for Blitz, he was surrendered to us to find him a loving family.  Blitz has lived with another female GSD and got along fine.  He is reported to be very friendly with people.  As Blitz is new to us we are still learning more about him, please check back for updates.

Zophia found herself as a stray to a shelter where no one came for her, we have no history for her.  She is now safe in our care and looking for a forever home and family.  Her introductions to male dogs went much better than that with female dogs.  She is a dominant female with other female dogs, for this reason she only wants to share her home with male dogs.  As she is new to us we have a lot to learn about her, please watch for updates.

Molly was surrendered to a shelter, but we do not know why. On the surrender paperwork, it states that she lived with and is good with children. She lived with another female GSD, but the other GSD did not like Molly. They stated Molly wanted to play with their other dog, but the other dog did not reciprocate nicely. It was noted that when you get too close to her while she is eating, she would growl. Since arriving in our care, she has been friendly with everyone she has met. We have not introduced her to children though yet. Her foster reports that she is a super adorable highly active pup - bouncy, jumpy, playful, affectionate, and just all around super sweet. She is all about kisses and belly rubs, affection and attention. She has limited manners right now that her foster is working on her with, and she does great with praise. Molly loves toys and could play fetch all day long. As she is new to us we are still learning more about her, please check back for updates.

Gunner is a GSD/Belgian Malinois mix who came to us as a surrender as his human dad is ill and not able to care for him. Gunner is a young, high energy pup with lots of drive. He is not going to be a couch potato. He will require daily activity, exercising both the body and mind. Training with an experienced trainer is an absolute must. He will keep you on your toes, so you must be prepared to be one step ahead of him. He is a sponge right now, ready to soak up everything, be it good or bad. He is not well socialized with humans. Gunner has done well with his large breed foster fur-sibilings, but has not yet met any small dogs. You will need to have lots of time and a strong commitment to raising a well balanced, socialized and well mannered boy. Gunner requires someone with prior experience with high drive, high energy working line dogs.

Lacy was surrendered to us due to a baby on the way and there would be no room for Lacy. It is obvious she was not well cared for as she came to us obese, weighing 107 lbs. and should only weigh around 70 lbs.  She also came to us with a skin infection and some fur loss, which our vet feels is caused by lack of care and poor quality food.  She is being treated for the skin infection, put on a diet, good quality food, along with exercise that she obviously did not get in her last home.  She is settling into her foster home and dealing with the changes of her new life.  She is confused with some whining, but that is expected with the changes.  She is very sweet and friendly with everyone she has met. 

Bellair made her way to us from a shelter where she had been surrendered, for reasons unknown.  She is new to us, so we are just getting to know her.  We know that she prefers the company of male dogs over female dogs.  She needs training, consistency and a schedule.  Without this she has no idea what her new family expects of her, it is your job to guide and teach her.  She is a pretty petite girl, which will make it easier for leash walks.
