Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Luisa came to us from a not so good situation.  She was used as a breeding dog, she was not provided with proper care or adequate living conditions.  Thankfully after complaints and an investigation she, along with other dogs were confiscated.  Luisa is now in our care where she is looking for a family that will provide her with a loving and warm home, where she means more to her family than just a puppy machine.  Luisa is young and beautiful, she requires training to learn about life, good manners and living in a home.  Yes, you will have to put work into her, provide structure, love and proper care, but she is so worth it.

Kenya was adopted from our rescue when she was just a puppy in 2006.  Sadly her adopter, due to personal reasons, is no longer able to care for her.  As you can imagine Kenya's world as she knew it has been turned upside down.  She is currently in a loving foster home with her foster family helping her with the adjustment. She is anxious , eating very little and obviously does not understand what is going on or where her family is. 

Don't try to tell this senior to slow down; Kenya is quite athletic and runs and plays just fine, thank you very much!  Kenya loves to go for car rides and long walks with her foster family, as well as snuggling up for head rubs.  She has settled into her foster home nicely, also enjoying naps on her dog bed, hanging out with her foster siblings, and taking her chew bones wherever she goes.  This affectionate lady walks well on leash and knows her basic commands.  If you would like to meet Kenya, please contact our Adoptions Coordinator for more information.

Frankie was surrendered to us as he was too big and strong for his elderly family.  He has been to dog parks and did well except for one encounter with one dog.  On walks he would pull and bark at other dogs, but we are unsure if that's because he wanted to meet them or not.  When the grandchildren came to visit he did well and would actually become depressed when they left.  He does require training as he has never been to training.  Training is absolutely a must as it teaches good manners, obedience and creates a bond with his new family.  

Shadow was a surrender as his former person had far too many dogs and was not able to afford them all.  He is just stunning with his all black shiny coat.  He has been very friendly with our volunteers.  He does well with other dogs, he especially likes the females.  With other male dogs he can be bossy, so it must be the right fit.  Training of course is mandatory and will go along way in teaching him proper manners, good life skills and help him and his new family to adjust to one another.

Oliver found himself in a shelter after he was picked up as a stray. He is sweet, handsome boy who is looking for a forever family and home. He is somewhat shy right now, but who can blame him with the recent changes he has been through. Training will help him build confidence, learn good manners and bond with his family.

Chevy found himself in a shelter very underweight.  He has been diagnosed with EPI, Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency.  This is caused when the pancreas does not produce enough enzymes to properly digest food.  This is very easily treated by adding enzymes to each meal which helps the body digest food. More information can be found at epi4dogs.com along with before and after pictures of dogs that have EPI. Now that Chevy has been receiving the enzymes he needs he has gained weight.  Please do not let EPI deter you from considering Chevy, he deserves a family to love and care for him and in return he will give you his devotion. Chevy needs to be properly introduced to new dogs, he does not do well with face to face meeting the first time round.  Once he has been properly introduced he does well.  He is now in a foster home, please watch for updates.

Gunnie was on the run for sometime, but was finally caught and brought into a rescue.  Wanting Gunnie to have the best chance at finding a home, it was decided she would be better served by a GSD rescue.  Gunnie is friendly, but a little unsettled, which is to be expected.  She is being given time to settle in, watch for updates.

Beethoven is one of 22 dogs from the Carolina's that needed help due to Hurricane Florence.

Beethoven is a furry friendly guy who is looking for his forever home and family.  With all of the stress and changes he has been gone through and a long transport to our care, he has handled it well.  As he is new to us we will continue to get to know him better and post updates.

Mo was returned to MAGSR as his person was not able to provide a safe environment for him.  He was allowed outside without a fenced in area and without being on a leash, so yes he would wander off.  Well this happy, friendly, playful boy is back in the safety of our care and is now looking for a family who will keep him safe.  A fenced yard in not required to adopt from us, but without one Mo would need to be leashed walked and not allowed to wander around on his own.  Everyone who picked Mo up while wandering around town said he is the friendliest, happy go lucky boy.  He needs training,  he needs direction from his family, he needs structure and he needs lots of play time, exercise, walks and love.

Braggs was surrendered to a shelter as his former person said he worked too much, not having enough time to care for Braggs.  Former owner said that he is good with dogs, cats and children.  We have yet to see him interact with children and cats.  He is a friendly boy, young and playful.  Of course he needs to attend training classes to learn good manners.

Heidie was abandoned by her person at a friends home and never returned for her.  When abandoned she was pregnant, the friend birthed the puppies and found them homes.  She is understandably confused with the recent changes in her life.  She lived with a male GSD and was around cats without issues.  She did live with children and did well with them.  We are giving her time to settle in and will post updates once we know her better.

Dayse was surrendered by her elderly former owner as she was too much dog for her.  She also did not do well with the resident cats.  Dayse is in need of training, manners, consistency and structure.  She is a friendly girl that needs to learn jumping up to greet people is not acceptable.

Sweet Jasmine's former person passed away and she was surrendered to a shelter.   She is a gorgeous and friendly girl that is confused with all of the changes in her life.  She is settling nicely, doing well with our volunteers and did well meeting other dogs.  Unfortunately we do not have much prior history on her.  If you are looking for a stunning, regal, large girl to go for leisurely walks, curl up with while reading or watching television Jasmine is your girl.

Hansel was a stray to a shelter, so we have no prior  history on him.  Since in our care he has been very friendly with our volunteers and leans in for petting.  He did well when being introduced to other dogs.  He gets excited which stimulates him to welcome other dogs and people with excited barking.  Of course he will benefit from training, structure and consistency from his new family.  At a year old  he has a lot to learn.

Acton was a stray to a shelter, so we have no prior history.  During his time with us he has been friendly with our volunteers and did well with dog introductions.  Training is imperative with all dogs that are adopted from us, they  need to learn manners and become accustomed to their home and family life.  

Maren was surrendered to us as her elderly caregivers were moving and could not keep her.  She has not had any training or guidance, nor has she been exposed to the world around her.  She will need a family who will commit to training to help her build her confidence and of course to learn good canine manners.  It is important that Maren has ongoing socialization and is introduced to the sounds, sights and smells of the world.  It is her families job to guide her, work with her daily, provide lots of playtime, exercise, love and care.

Roxie is your typical playful and curious puppy.  Please be prepared for a puppy as they are time consuming, they need training, socialization, lots of exercise and a lifetime of love and care.  Yes, puppies chew things they shouldn't, they get into things, they have potty accidents and they have lots of energy.  

Rambo came to us as owner surrender as his former person was not able to continue to care for him. Rambo is a friendly boy, although he is unsettled with the recent changes in his life. He needs time to adjust to all of the changes. He can be mouthy when things he shouldn't have are taken away from him. Training, of course, will help him learn manners, work on any unwanted behaviors and help him settle into life with a new family. He lived with a cat in his previous home and we are told he did fine. He is currently in a foster home being given time to adjust to losing his home and family. His foster will provide an update soon.

Natasha made her way to us from a shelter, with no history.  She did have an embedded collar which was removed and cleaned up, it is healing nicely.  She is a pretty, young, energetic girl that has so much to learn.  She will learn all that she needs to be a well mannered girl at training with her new family.  She will require daily exercise, along with direction, set boundaries and patience.

Sadly Joe Joes person passed away which left Joe Joe living in an outside pen.  Thankfully the person who cared for Joe Joe's person while he was ill contacted us to take him into our care.  His pen was muddy, as was his food bowl and his water bowl was green.  He was covered in mud and feces.   Joe Joe is very confused at this time, the recent changes have him scared.  He is such a sweet, friendly boy.  He craves human affection, he will lean into you for security and petting.  Not having any information on him, we are learning as we go.  With his friendly personality, we are confident with time he will adjust to the better life he is now experiencing.
