Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Kovu has not had much stability in his life, he has had 3 families before coming into our care.  His last person realized that he needed more than she could provide in the way of training and knew that he needed an experienced family to help him adjust to a new life.  Kovu has not been well socialized or provided with proper training.  He can be protective of his person if he feels you are not in control.  He will bark at people he doesn't know, but takes correction and redirection well.  He needs slower introductions to new people, dogs and situations in order for him to feel comfortable.  Training is an absolute must for Kovu and his new family as this will help everyone learn more about Kovu and get him on the right track.  Kovu will only meet those with a lot of experience with the breed and are strong, knowledgeable handlers.  Kovu needs someone who is going to commit to him, provide him with direction and consistency in his life.  Our volunteers are working with him, he learns quickly.

Bradford was a frequent flyer at his local shelter as his previous family did nothing to ensure his safety.  He was constantly leaving the property and being picked up running the streets. Thankfully this very big handsome boy is now safe in our care and is now looking for a family that will ensure his safety by not allowing him to be outside unsupervised or wandering the streets. Bradford has a calm disposition and is so gentle for such a large boy. However, when he gets more comfortable, he is powerful in his movements, largely because of his size and needs a strong handler. Bradford is very timid and unsure at this time and therefore is considered a flight risk. Structure and building his confidence is what this sweet boy needs.  Training will do him wonders and help create a bond with his new family.

Bella 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.  

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

Nika has been through a lot in the last few days and just arrived from a long transport into our care.  She is still settling into her new living arrangements and getting use to her surroundings.  This seems to have upset Nika and she will need time to settle in.  She was fine with our volunteers, but can be nervous with too many people handling her.  For this reason we will not place her in a home with children at this time.  We will update once Nika has settled more and we get to know her better

Gabby's elderly former person had a bad fall and is now bedridden.  Sadly she was no longer able to care for Gabby.   Gabby is a  high energy girl, she will require someone who will commit to exercising her daily in order to keep her energy in check.  She also will benefit greatly from training, this will teach her good canine manners, along with building a bond with her new family.  She is sweet and friendly, travels well in a vehicle.

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

We have no idea what Oti is mixed with, but we know it is a whole lot of cuteness.  He is patiently waiting to find his forever home and family.  With some basic obedience training and structure from his family he will learn good canine manners.  As our volunteers get to know him better we will post updates.

Bourke was a frequent flyer at his local shelter as his previous family did nothing to ensure his safety.  He was constantly leaving the property and being picked running the streets.  Thankfully this big handsome boy is now safe in our care and is now looking for a family that will ensure his safety by not allowing him wander the streets.  Bourke has a calm, laid back personality.  It is required that his new family take him to training so that he can be the best he can be. 

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

She is a little skittish at this time which is understandable after all of the recent changes she has endured.  She can take a little bit of time to warm up to new people, but once she does she is very playful.  She also enjoys the company of other dogs.

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

Nala looks to have led a hard life, but that has all changed now.  Her future is bright, one filled with love and care.  She is a sweet girl with a wonderful demeanor. 

Dakota came to us from a shelter.  We have been told that she is a people person, enjoying being by your side and following you around.  She also adores children according to the report we received.  She has been around cats, but she seeks them out to play.  This may be too rough for some cats if not properly managed.  We are also told that she is good with dogs of all sizes.  Sadly it looks as though she was used for breeding then dumped.  She has no leash skills at this time, but this is something our volunteers will work on.  She requires training to teach her good manners.  She has energy as she is young and will require daily exercise.

Sheeba found herself at a shelter needing rescue.  She is a young, high energy, untrained pup that needs a family who will commit to training and providing her with structure.  It's obvious no one has taken the time to teach her manners.  She will require a family who has the time and patience it will take to burn off her energy by going for walks, playtime and of course training.  She is an absolute love, smothering people with puppy kisses and lobbying for your attention and affection. 

Corona's persons new job involves a lot of travel, with long periods of time away from home.  Knowing he could no longer provide her with a stable home she was returned to us.  Corona has gone through obedience training, but it is important that her new family also take her to training so that you learn to work together and create a bond.  Corona is a friendly girl, she enjoys going for walks and playing fetch. 

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

Gunner is handsome golden boy.   We are not sure if he has any GSD mixed in, but he needed a place to start a new life so we welcomed him with opened arms.  As he just arrived in our care we are still learning more about him, so watch for updates. 

Murphy made his way to us from a shelter where he was a stray.  We have no past history for him, so we are getting to know him.  He requires a slower approach when meeting new people.   He is in need of training which will help him learn good manners, build his confidence and bond with his new family.

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

Those ears are precious and that face melts your heart, such a sweet boy.  Ari would love to be apart of your family in his forever home.  He is settling into his foster home so please watch for updates from his foster family. 

Arbor was surrendered as his person said she had no time for him.  Arbor is very much a teenager and is in need of obedience training and structure.  He can be very protective of his person which needs to be corrected.  While this is a trait found in German Shepherds it does need to be managed by their person.  He has good leash manners and is crate trained.  He is currently settling into his foster home, watch for updates.

Bria, along with other family members, were dumped at the shelter. Not often we are happy when dogs are dumped at shelters, but in this case, they are lucky they were. The family of Shepherds lived outside, no vet care, no vaccines, no preventatives. Bria has a lot to learn about going 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, Bria will become even more of an amazing girl than she already is. Please inquire if Bria sounds like a good match for your family.  

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

Merle is such a sweet,  handsome boy.  He is a little underweight, approximately 10 more lbs would be his ideal weight.  He is in a foster home and seems to be housebroken and crate trained.  He knows some basic commands such as sit, stay, paw and down.  He enjoys playing with toys and fetch.  As he settles more into his foster home his foster family will provide updates. 

Beck, along with other family members, were dumped at the shelter. Not often we are happy when dogs are dumped at shelters, but in this case, they are lucky they were.

Emilia along with other family members were dumped at a shelter.  Not often we are happy when dogs are dumped at shelters, but in this families case they are lucky they were.  The family of Shepherds lived outside, no vet care, no vaccines, no preventatives.  They were all crawling with fleas and ticks.  Emilia is so very sweet, she enjoyed spending time with our volunteers being loved on.  Right now she is more comfortable with women, she can be skittish of men.  She did well in the car and at the vets for her exam.  Emilia has never been on a leash, she is working on that.  Training will help her build self confidence and form a bond with her new family.  Emilia deserves to know what a real family is, one that will love, care for and cherish her.
