Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Jagger was not well cared for in his previous home, he also was not well socialized or provided with any training.  Jagger will need a adopter that has experience with the breed and has the time and energy to devote to his training.  He takes sometime to warm up to new people, so a slow approach is best with this big boy.  High value treats are a great way to his heart.  Guidance from his new family, ongoing socialization and a good training program will help young Jagger become a well rounded boy. 

Lolly was dumped at a shelter extremely emaciated. Doing some research her original owner was found. Lolly was given away in Dec and ended up in a shelter in March. She has gained some weight but still needs more. She is such a sweet and loving girl. Lolly has 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.

Lolly is now receiving the enzymes she needs and is gaining weight. Please do not let EPI deter you from considering Lolly, she deserves a family to love and care for her and in return she will give you her devotion.

Dietra came to us as an owner surrender.  She was much loved by her previous family which included young children and a male GSD.  Dietra is a very sweet girl who is in need of a family of very own.  Dietra did arrive in our care not putting weight on her rear leg, we had her seen by our vet who recommended she be seen by a orthopedic specialist.  Dietra has an appointment scheduled for this coming week to see the specialist in order to find out, if anything, is wrong with her leg.  Once we know we will post an update. 

King made his way to us after he was confiscated by Animal Control for running at large and lack of proper care.  He is approximately 4 years old.  He is a little shy upon first meeting new people, but he quickly warms up and leans in to be petted.  He seems to be a very nice boy that just needs stability, love and care.

Bo came to us from a shelter, so we have no history on him.  He can be picky about his dog friends and may do best as an only dog or with female dogs.  Training of course will go a long way helping Bo settle in, learn some manners and how to properly interact with other dogs.  With people he is very friendly, although we do not know how he is with children at this time. 

Oliver was surrendered as he was not good with the resident cats.  He was originally adopted from a shelter in Niagara Falls, Canada.  His adopters moved and could not take him so they left him with their parents in TN who had cats.   So as you can see he is well travelled on the East Coast.  He is a friendly boy who would just like to settle his paws in a forever home, one without cats of course.  

Windsor came to us from shelter where ended up as a stray.  He is now in our care, looking for a better life and family who will care for him for his lifetime.  We do not have any history for him, we are getting to know him.   He has been friendly with those he has met and evaluated well with other dogs.  Windsor is ready to put his past behind him and looks forward to a fresh start in a new home.

Sadly Daina's family turned her into a shelter as she was experiencing digestive issues and weight loss.  Such a friendly, loving and sweet girl, she did not deserve to be abandoned especially in her time of need.   Now that Daina is with us she is receiving the care she needs and deserves.  She has been seen by our vet and is undergoing testing to determine why she is so emaciated.  She is receiving high quality nutrition and supplements and extra meals.  Daina deserves to know the love of a real family, one that will care for her no matter what.  Please consider Daina when looking for  your next BFF.

Samson came to us as an owner surrender.  Unfortunately his former family have their hands very full with medical needs, this left Samson home alone for too long.  He was very much loved and well cared for.  He is now looking for a new family, one that will love and care for him as much as his last family has.  Samson is a stunning, all white male GSD.  In his previous home he lived with young children and another male GSD.  Samson is a very smart boy, he can open doors using his mouth to turn the knobs, he can open a gate latch and knows how to get out of a wire crate.   He does need some basic obedience training, not only will this help him learn good manners, but it will also help to create a bond with his new family.  He enjoys spending as much as time as possible with his family.

Aria and her sister Allie came to us from a shelter where they had been surrendered.  We are told that mom is a purebred GSD and dad is purebred Lab.  At 16 weeks old both girls have 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.

Onyx was adopted from us as 9 month old puppy.  She had lived with her adoptive family for just over 4 years.  Onyx had a run in with the neighbors small dogs so her adopters decided to return her.  Knowing that Onyx would be housed at the kennel, as we have no available foster homes without dogs, they still decided that was the best place for her.  I can't imagine that Onyx thinks being a kennel away from her family is the best place for her.  At this time we do not know if Onyx is good with larger dogs as she has just been returned to us.  We are giving her time to adjust to losing her family and her home, once we feel she has settled in we will do proper dog introductions.  Onyx is very sweet with people, although a little cautious at first meeting them.  She lived with children in her prior home.  Onyx doesn't deserve what her family did to her, with proper containment, making sure she is not able to escape open doors and with training things could have been worked out. 

Solomon came to us as an owner surrender.  Unfortunately his former family have their hands very full with medical needs, this left Solomon home alone for too long.  He was very much loved and well cared for.  He is now looking for a new family, one that will love and care for him as much as his last family has.  Solomon is a stunning, large, all black male with the shiniest coat.  In his previous home he lived with young children and another male GSD.  He does need some basic obedience training, not only will this help him learn good manners, but it will also help to create a bond with his new family.

Allie and her sister Aria came to us from a shelter where they had been surrendered.  We are told that mom is a purebred GSD and dad is purebred Lab.  At 16 weeks old both girls have 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Midnight cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little girl, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses.  Midnight 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, Midnight will become even more of an amazing girl than she already is.  Please inquire if Midnight sounds like a good match for your family.

Fritz found himself in a shelter for reasons unknown.  He is now safely in our care waiting patiently to find his forever family.  He is a calmer boy with a friendly disposition.  He does have some good manners but will require formal obedience training so that he can be the best he can be.  Training is so very important, not just for the dog but also for their families.

Abigail was surrendered as her elderly family could not manage the energy of a young dog.  Abigail is so very sweet and pretty.  She does have a lot of puppy energy that will need to be directed by providing her with exercise, playtime, long walks and of course training.  A young energetic dog takes a lot of patience and time.  Please be sure you have the time and are ready to make a commitment to Abigail for her lifetime.

Josie along with her sister were surrendered to us as their human dad is in hospice care.  He loves his girls very much and wants them to have a wonderful life.  Josie is understandably quite confused with the recent changes, but will adjust with time.  Josie was examined by our vet and found to be what he believes may be cataracts.  She will be seen by an eye specialists and receive proper care.  Please consider Josie, a family of her own will certainly help her move forward and settle in.
