Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Sapphire made her way to us from a shelter where she had been surrendered by her former owners.  They had told the shelter that she was good with children, dogs and cats.  She is in a foster living with young children and another GSD and getting along well.  We have not had her around cats.  She is a young, energetic girl that has had no training or guidance.  She's very trainable, she pays attention to her handler and is responsive to both food and praise.   A good training program, guidance from her family and exercise to burn off some that puppy energy are in order for beautiful Sapphire.

Missy was found tied to a tree, no one ever came for her.  The person that found her took very good care of her and was hoping to make her part of their family.  Unfortunately Missy and the resident small dog were not compatible.  Wanting Missy to have the best chance at finding a good family she was surrendered to us.  She is young, energetic and has a lot to learn.  Training of course will help Missy learn what is expected of her, good canine manners and build a bond with her new family. 

Kadian came to us a surrender, as her former person was not in the position to care for or keep her.  At 14 weeks old she has a whole lot to learn.  It is never too soon to start basic obedience training, as socialization with other dogs and people is very important, along with learning good puppy manners.  Puppies will chew things, have accidents, get into things and have lots of energy, so please be sure you have the time and patience it takes to raise a puppy.  Adopting a puppy is a commitment for their lifetime.

Mally 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 Mally 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. 

Merlin was surrendered as he kept escaping the yard with a 4 foot fence, suggested ways of keeping him contained were not implemented.  He had been with his family for 5 years and deserved more than to be given away.  As Merlin is new to us we are just getting to know him.  He lived with another dog in his prior home.  Right now he is confused and somewhat anxious with the changes in his life.  He does require training to help him with good canine manners and to learn what is expected of him.  Training is a great way to start the bonding process with a new family. 

Mocha was adopted through our rescue when she was just 16 weeks old.  She has lived with her adopters for the last 6 years.  After 6 years they decided to return her because they could not contain her in their yard with a 4 foot fence. Instead of correcting the problem or supervising her while she was out she was returned, leaving the only family she has known.  Mocha deserved better than this, along with a lifetime commitment.  She is such a well behaved sweet girl, she gets along well with other dogs.  Mocha is now looking for a family who will commit to her for her lifetime.

Nikia was found as a stray and ended up in a shelter.  She is a beautiful, well behaved older girl, past the antics of a younger dog.  She would be happy hanging with her family, going for strolls and being loved.

Brixx found himself in a shelter as a stray so we have no history on him.  He is somewhat shy at first, but he is friendly.  He is good with other dogs.  Brixx would love a family of his own who will commit to him for his lifetime.

Ralph came to rescue when he was a 6 month old puppy, all cuddly and cute.  Of course being a puppy lots of people were interested in adopting him.  His family adopted in 2016 and sadly returned him as  he is no longer the cute puppy they adopted.  Yes, we see this far too much, people getting puppies but once they are grown adults the puppy cuteness has worn off and they are surrendering the dogs through no fault of the dog.  While Ralph is no longer a puppy, he is a still a very handsome and loving young boy.  Ralph lived in a home with a toddler and did well.  He has had no obedience training, so his leash walking skills need improvement.  He enjoys being near people receiving attention.  He's a sweet boy that just needs some structure and training to make him the perfect little love-bug!    Ralph is looking for a family who will commit to him for his lifetime.

Wiley was found in a trash bag on the side of the road when he was approximately 8 weeks old.  Since then he has been passed around from person to person and not always having the best of care.  Thankfully the last person who he was given to reached out to us so that Wiley would have the best chance at finding a loving and caring family.  Wiley had a vet visit today for his vaccines and check up, he received a clean bill of health, just needs to gain some weight.  He is now in a loving foster home enjoying the comforts of a home, toys, treats and good nutrition.  

Boyka was surrendered to us as his former person was very busy with his graduate studies.  He knew that Boyka needed more time and attention then he could give him.  Boyka is very well behaved for a 7 month old puppy, he is housebroken and crate trained.  He will whine and bark when first going into his crate but will settle.  He absolutely loves the company of other dogs, both males and females, he wants to be near them all of the time.  He is currently in a foster home with another GSD and Boxer, both are seniors and he does so well with them.  He does have a lot of puppy energy, he enjoys going for walks, playing and running in the yard and a good game of keep away is a lot of fun.  He does not have perfect leash manners, but they aren't bad for a dog of his age.  He is a sponge and soaking up everything his foster mom is teaching him.  He has met children of varying ages and did well, but he does not take treats gently and his energy level may be too much for little ones.   Boyka is very ready for a good training program and a new forever family.

Clark is a handsome German Shepherd puppy who is approx.10 mos. old. Clark was  rescued from a bad situation, his owner died and the other relatives threw him out to fend for himself.  Despite his size he is still a puppy - happy, inquisitive, and wanting to please, but also needing guidance and patience from his new family. .Clark will need the full range of obedience training classes to help him be the best grown-up dog he can be. Training will also allow Clark to form a bond with his new family. This boy has been through a lot in his short life but is now ready to find a new home and a new family to love.

Luna came to us from a shelter so we have no history on her.  We do know that it looks as though she has had multiple litters. Well her mom days are now over.  It is her time to shine as a family pet.  She is as sweet as can be with everyone she meets, a well behaved girl.

Diesel was surrendered to a shelter when his family moved and could not take him with them.  Diesel can take a bit of time to feel comfortable with new people, he just likes a slow approach.  Once you have given him time he bonds quickly, especially with women.  He enjoys being out for walks and play time, he is good with other dogs and enjoys spending time with his family.  This very handsome boy is looking for a family who will commit to him for his lifetime. Training is a must as it will help Diesel build confidence.  He requires a leader so that he can feel comfortable.

Dax is a very handsome and big boy.  He came to us from a shelter so we have no history for him.  He is very friendly with people and enjoys spending time with them.  He has done well with other dogs, although he will react to other dogs that bark at him.  He would probably do best with a submissive dog, but one that enjoys playtime.   He has a more laid back personality, such a wonderful boy.

Apollo was surrendered to a shelter as his family had never had a German Shepherd before and didn't realize how much time, training and the commitment it takes.  Apollo has not been well socialized with people or other dogs, he has not had training or guidance.  He is a big boy for his age but still very much a puppy.  He jumps up on people, he pulls hard on the leash and he barks at other dogs.  With a good training program, guidance from his new family, exercise and ongoing socialization he will be a wonderful family member.  Apollo needs a strong commitment from his new family, you must have the time and patience for him.

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.

Malakai came to us as an owner surrender.  He was much loved by his previous family which included young children and a female GSD.  Malakai can be stand offish when he comes to meeting new people, but give him the chance to sniff you and feel comfortable and he will quickly become your best friend.  He has leash manners which results in him pulling quite hard when walking.  Our volunteers are working with him but his will need to also be addressed by his new family.  Training is so very important, it will help Malakai  learn what is expected of him, it will help with socialization along with build a bond with his new family. Ask to meet this handsome boy to see if he is a good fit for your family.

Bentley is a handsome Shepherd mix.  He is a fun dog that enjoys running around and playing.  He does have some training, but will require more training with his new family.  Training helps both the dog and humans learn more about each other, work better together and creates a bond. 

Meet Chip! Chip is an older gentleman who found himself on hard times after his former family fell ill and could no longer provide for him. He was surrendered to a local shelter. Luckily, for all involved, we were able to provide a caring home in his hour of need. He is now resting comfortably in the home of a very loving and compassionate care giver. Because of his advanced age, Chip is very arthritic, a little unstable on his feet and requires joint medication. A home with no steps is a must and limited non-slip floors are preferred. Currently, we are trying to take a little excess weight off of him. However, even with limited mobility, he manages to get around. Chip loves going for car rides and bonds very quickly to his favorite people. He is very charming and wants nothing more than to be loved and spend quiet time with his favorite people.
