Riana
ADOPTED 03/03/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Riana ran out in the road in the dark of night almost being hit. Luckily the person driving saw her then decided to follow her to try to catch her. Riana ran to a driveway which was her home. The owner came out and said he did not want her and surrendered on the spot. She is a typical young dog, full of energy, has no manners and has a lot to learn. She is in a foster home learning some manners. Training of course is needed, which her new family will have to commit to. Please be sure you are up to the challenges that come with raising a young dog, they are a commitment for their lifetime and require time and patience.
Chief
ADOPTED 03/03/2018!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Meet Chief! He's a young, exuberant boy. He was surrendered to a shelter when his family reported they could not handle him. However, he has had very minimal training. This is a perfect example of why training is so important. His former family stated he was good with children and cats, but we have not yet tested him with either.
While he is still very new to us, we will provide updates as we learn more about him. As of now, though he is still somewhat bewildered about what has happened, we are happy to report that he is doing well
and is warming to us while we get to know each other. Stay tuned!
Harmony
ADOPTED 03/03/2018!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Harmony was found as a stray and ended up in a shelter. She is missing a rear paw which appears to be from an old injury. This does not slow her down, she can run and play as well as any 4 pawed dog. She is friendly and very much enjoys a good belly rub. Harmony will need training to help her overcome her dislike of vacuums, hairdryers, etc. This can be easily dealt with by putting her away when these items are in use and of course ongoing training. Harmony will make a loving companion for a very lucky family.
Updates:Sweet Miss Harmony is a friendly little cuddle bug.
Though she is small, she is mighty… Cute. If you're looking for a dog to guard your home, keep looking. Harmony greets everyone she sees with her belly exposed ready for rubs and snuggles.
She is doing well in her foster home. She enjoys attention from children and is getting along with the resident dog. She established boundaries with him letting him know that she doesn't like to roughhouse. Harmony would happily live with another dog but she would be just as happy to be an only dog. She is looking for somewhere that she can be spoiled rotten.
Harmony would not do well in a home with cats. She has a strong prey drive and cats are just way too much fun. She also likes chasing animals when she is outside. Even though she small she can create a significant impact at the end of her leash when she sees a squirrel. So it's important to always be on the lookout and have a good grasp on her leash.
Harmony is learning to respond to her name. She does not come when she's called yet. However once you have her attention she has learned how to sit. She also understands to come and drop it but she does not consistently follow it, yet. Harmony is doing very well with housebreaking her last accident was at the door where we leave to go for walks. So she has figured it out.
Harmony does not mind being crated during the day while the family is at work/school. She even goes in her crate from time to time when people are home to relax. She would prefer to go to a home where somebody lets her sleep on a dog bed on the floor in their room.
Harmony is missing a hind paw for reasons that are unknown to us. However, she has no trouble walking, running, climbing steps, navigating tree branches etc. on a walk. In fact, we're pretty sure Harmony doesn't know her paw is missing. So please don't tell her when you meet her.
Tess
ADOPTED 03/03/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Tess was surrender as her family could no longer care for her. She was very much loved and this was a difficult decision. In her former home she lived with another dog and small children. She is a very sweet girl, she's playful and enjoys games of fetch. Tess is young, will need guidance and structure from her family along with training. She is looking for a family who will make a commitment to her for her lifetime
Lucy
ADOPTED 03/03/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Lucy cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little girl, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses. Lucy 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, Lucy will become even more of an amazing girl than she already is. Please inquire if Lucy sounds like a good match for your family.
Kayla
ADOPTED 02/26/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes, older kids
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Kayla is approximately 10 months old. She came from a horrific hoarding situation. A large number of dogs that had no medical care, lack of human contact and socialization, filthy living environments, etc. Kayla is quite skittish at this time, she will need a person who will help bring her out of her shell. She needs socialization, to be introduced to the world around her, proper care and direction from her family. She deserves the chance to know that not all people are bad, that she is safe and much loved. A quieter, less active home would be best for her, with someone who has the patience to help her move forward. A home with a lot of people coming and going, especially young children would not be in her best interest. It is not that Kayla is not good with children, but she is a possible flight risk due to her skittishness. A door inadvertently left open could prove dangerous for Kayla. In the short time she has been in our care she has started to come out of her shell, interested in new things and seeking out attention. It is imperative that the family adopting Kayla is certain it will be for her lifetime, please be sure you can make that commitment.
Gema
ADOPTED 02/25/2018!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Gema came to us from a shelter, where she had been adopted from but then returned. She was in a open feed situation with a number of other dogs in the home and Gema could not handle being fed that way with other dogs. To take a dog and put them with dogs who were raised with open feeding and expect them to just fit in at feeding time is most times not going work. One big bowl of food for all of the dogs and you can only imagine how this could not work. Gema is a friendly girl and does enjoy the company of other dogs, but she will require to be fed separately. Training and guidance will go a long way for Gema, helping her learn to be well balanced and the best she can be.
Bo
ADOPTED 02/25/2018!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 12
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
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.
Updates:Bo is great dog, and he's doing nicely in foster. His weight is up to 84lbs from 69lbs a month ago, and he loves to run and is building muscle - he is really looking good. He has been going to training for a few weeks and is doing very well the class, both with his basic commands and in terms of his confidence and socialization. He does fine in his crate (although he will start to make a racket sometimes if he feels he's missing out on something!), is house broken, and has acclimated well, and is happy and comfortable with his two older GSD foster siblings. Bo still has a lot to learn, but overall he's a very sweet and responsive dog, that is progressing well and will make a great addition to the right lucky home, that is ready to provide the care and love that Bo so richly deserves.
Handsome a sweet Bo was returned to MAGSR thru no fault of his own after his family decided they no longer wanted him. Bo’s prior family never truly committed to him and he spent most of his time in a crate. Bo is an active and friendly boy who needs exercise and continued training, as do most German Shepherds. Bo is ready for a forever family who will truly commit to him, spend time with him and not lock him in a crate and not give him up when he becomes an inconvenience. If interested in meeting this handsome boy, ask to meet Bo today!
Blitz
ADOPTED 02/25/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Blitz was found dumped on the side of the road, very scared and confused. This sweet boy is deaf and was alone it was no wonder he was scared. Don't let the idea of a deaf dog scare you from adopting him, they can be easily trained with the use of a vibration collar and hand signals. Blitz didn't deserve to tossed away like trash, he is a sweet and loving puppy who will make a wonderful family member. He is currently in a foster home getting use to his new surroundings and of course living the good life he so deserves. Please open your heart and home to him, he will be forever grateful.
Updates:Blitz loves to play, when he’s not running around with one of my dogs he is following me around being jovial. He is housebroken, he makes it through the entire night. He has not had one accident since he has gotten here.He’s great on the leash, he doesn't pull but walks beside you. He loves to chew on bones and is really good at figuring out what’s his and what isn’t.He is also a big teddy bear, he loves to snuggle and give Eskimo kisses.
Blitz just loves toys and balls - he sorts through the toy box to find just the right one to play with each time. Blitz is very friendly and social and is happy playing with his foster fur-sibling and doesn't mind being in the crate either. If Blitz sounds like a good fit for you, ask to meet him today.
Grayson
ADOPTED 02/19/2018!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Grayson was picked up as a stray and taken a shelter. The owners were contacted but they never picked him up. Grayson is now in our care looking for his forever family. Grayson is a big, strong boy who has had no training and no leash manners. He was introduced to other dogs at the shelter and did fine, he was also introduced to cats and showed no interest. Grayson will benefit greatly from obedience training and structure. He has a lot to learn but, once taught, he will be a well mannered boy.
Riana

Berl
ADOPTED 02/18/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Berlioz (Berl) came to us from a shelter where he was taken after his family moved. In his previous home he lived with children and another dog. Berl has a lot of energy, nothing that a good run, playtime or a long walk won't help. He does need training as it is obvious his previous family did not spend any time teaching good manners. He is very friendly with everyone he meets, quite the love bug.
Updates:Berl is only a couple days in with his fosters and is acclimating well. They are working on housebreaking with him and he's getting along very nicely with the resident female dog - they play a lot. Berl has endless energy and love to bury his head into his human when he's getting some affection. One thing about Berl, that we won't tell him, is that he snores some .. it'll be our secret. If Berl, the energetic, playful and affectionate boy, sounds like a good fit for you, please ask to meet him today.
Berl has made much success in the housebreaking area after his first 24 hours in the house - he's a smart boy and quick learner. Berl met the resident grandchildren this week and he loved them as much as they loved him. Berl is crate trained and enjoys taking breaks in his crate. Berl knows his place with the resident female GSD and has accepted it - has also adapted very well to her level of play - where you find one of them, the other isn't too far away. The latest information from the foster is that Berl is very respectful but just had to crawl up to his foster parents and cuddle with them in bed - which he's also pretty awesome at. Berl is one awesome character and special boy. Ask to meet him today.
Romeo
ADOPTED 02/17/2018!

Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Romeo ended up in a shelter with Juliet, we are not sure if they are related but it does seem as though they have lived their lives together as they are bonded. Romeo and Juliet play nicely together and seem to enjoy each others company.
Updates:Both Romeo & Juliet are putting on weight nicely and they love doggie snacks. Both are learning manners at meal time, to sit while the food is being placed and to not to eat out of each others bowls when they are done. Romeo & Juliet are housebroken and crate trained and have great manners in the home. They enjoy quiet times and taking naps and they do not bother each other when they go into their open crates to rest. Romeo and Juliet want to please their human so much and respond quickly to voice commands and praise. They know basic commands; sit, stay, no, come, good boy/girl. Playing together is especially fun for them and for their foster humans to watch - they love to romp and roll each other, both are extremely playful with a good energy level. They both are extremely loving and need their snuggle/tummy rub time. When they are tired they just want to lay at your feet and nap. If this sounds like the right bonded pair for you, please ask to meet them today.

Juliet ended up in a shelter with Romeo, we are not sure if they are related but it does seem as though they have lived their lives together as they are bonded. Juliet is a smaller framed girl and she is underweight. Romeo and Juliet play nicely together and seem to enjoy each others company.

Piper
ADOPTED 02/17/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Bristol was not well cared for by her previous person. She often went without being fed, allowed to run at large putting her in danger of being hit by cars. She has had no training and no guidance. Regardless of her lack of her care and guidance she is a sweet, friendly young girl. She enjoys the company of and playing with other dogs and she is good with children. Of course she will require formal training, it not only teaches her how to be a well behaved and balanced girl, but it also helps with creating a bond with her new family. Please be sure you have the time and patience to commit to Bristol for the rest of her life.
Updates:Unfortunately Piper was returned to us after almost 5 months after showing too much interest in the resident cats. Piper is understandably confused why her family gave her up. Her foster reports that she doesn't appear to have had much training. Piper is now in a foster home where she'll wait for the right family and learn what she can learn during that time, along with playing with the resident dog. If you can commit to Piper for her lifetime, please ask to meet her.
Hi. My new name is Piper – I have had a few names in my short life but this one has stuck. I answer really well to my new name.
As you can see I am back with the great people of MASGR. My foster mom says I am all the best things found in a puppy and GSD. BUT, if those are not what you are looking for, I am not the best fit for you. I am super smart, cute and loyal. Also I am a puppy and I have a lot of energy and love to play …. all day. Remember I am a working bread and need to have exercise and mental stimulation to keep me, and you ultimately, happy and healthy. Please be committed to meeting my activity and mental stimulation needs. My foster mom says I would be best with a furry brother or sister who I can play with and in an active family. I love kids! But obviously I am a pretty big dog and a puppy – so would be best with children comfortable with big dogs. I love all people, dogs, toys and belly rubs! Overall, I am a naturally very well behaved dog. Though I do need some additional training - have started learning basic commands, but am not yet consistent. I do need additional training for walking on a lead. I am great about being house trained – but since I play a lot and drink a lot - thus need to get out to do my business. I am an amazing dog and have had a lot of change in my short life – but there are no obvious negative impacts – I have taken it all in stride. But I deserve a wonderful forever family – one where we are both together a great fit - me for you, and you for me. If you think you are that family – ask to meet me. It’ll be hard for you to not fall in love…..
Karmela
ADOPTED 02/14/2018!
, 
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Karmela did have a home and family of her own until one day they dumped her a shelter. We know that in her previous home she lived with children and other dogs. She is a calm, well mannered girl who would enjoy spending time with her family. Karmela had an ear infection that was left untreated which caused her ear to crumple, she is currently under the care of our vet. If you are looking for a dog that is more grounded and past the juvenile antics Karmela is your girl.
Updates:Karmela is settling in to her foster home just great! She made herself right at home with her foster family and the resident dog. Karmela went to the vet for a check up and to have her ears checked. Both ears had infections so they cleaned them out really good and sent her home with medications to help get them all better. Karmela is extremely sweet and a great listener. She knows some basic commands like “sit” and “come” and we are working very hard on other commands as well. She walks very nicely on a leash and loves to play fetch. She is crate trained, house broken and loves kids. Ask to meet Karmela today!
I’m doing great at my fosters house. They’re teaching me how to be a good dog for my new family. I have learned sit, come, down and I’m working on stay. I love going on walks with them and their dog. I absolutely love kids! I love them more the adults and would love a family with kids. I love playing with tennis balls and I’m really good at playing fetch. I also love to just chill with you on the couch and cuddle. Ask to meet me today!
Karmela went back to the vet this week for a followup on her ears and they are doing great! She is doing great with learning her basics commands. She loves to play fetch and to just chill on the couch or floor. She is amazing with kids and good with other dogs. She is very sweet and gentle. Ask to meet this sweet girl today!
Cider
ADOPTED 02/06/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Cider was surrendered to us as his former person had allergies. His family reports that he is good with other dogs, children and cats. He is currently in a foster home living with other dogs and children, the foster does not have cats. He is a friendly boy and seems to have adjusted to his move quite well.
Misty
ADOPTED 02/03/2018!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Misty was surrendered as she was not getting along with the small dogs in the home. She has also never been around children so we do not know how she would be with little ones. She is all puppy, chewing things she shouldn't (dog beds are her favorite thing to chew), still needs to learn obedience and manners, has potty accidents, needs out in the middle of the night and oh that energy...what fun. A good training program, along with guidance and structure will help her become a well behaved girl. Please be sure you are in the position to commit to her for her lifetime.
Brio
ADOPTED 02/02/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Brio came to us from a shelter. There is some confusion with regards to his age, his records have him as 2 years old, but many feel he is much younger. He still has many puppy mannerisms and looks like a puppy still. He has a lot of energy that will need to be dealt with by providing plenty of exercise and playtime. At this time he has no manners but this is something he is working on. He has no leash skills and jumps up on people to greet them. He is a friendly, goofy, happy go lucky boy. Training will go along way in helping him learn all that he needs to knows.
Updates:
Brio has adjusted marvelously to his new foster home. He has been consistently going to the bathroom outside and is learning to go to the door to go out. He plays well with the resident dog. The resident children love Brio and he is very gentle with the 8 year old, frequently rolling over for belly rubs and playing tug of war. Brio is energetic and requires a lot of physical activity. When he is kept busy he rarely jumps and after a little while walking on a leash will walk right by your side. Brio loves to play fetch and even brings the ball back. He sleeps in his crate at night without whining or barking. He sometimes barks while in the crate during the day because he wants to join in the activities in the house. If you are looking for a dog to play with and be active with Brio is your ideal dog. Ask to meet Brio today.
Nikia
ADOPTED 02/01/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
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.
Updates:Nikia is settling in great to her foster home. Her foster parents report that Nikia is a delighful dog. She loves to ride in the car and just look out the window. She walks beautifully on a leash with minimal correction ("back") to keep her from walking out front and pulling. Nikia doesn't lunge or bark at people, other dogs, or anything else - just perks her ears up and shows interest but stays quietly by handler's side. Nikia is calm around small children - she perks perked up her ears and sits nicely to watch. Nikia loves tennis balls and tends to hoard them, so attention to taking those away when not supervised is necessary. Nikia likes bully sticks too. Nikia will only play with a toy if it is specifically given to her for play. Nikia stays off the furniture unless given permission. Nikia follows her humans around the house. If Nikia sounds like a good fit for your family, ask to meet her today.
Nikia's playful nature is coming out now that she is getting more secure in her environment. She loves to ride in the car and go for walks and loves to play.
She knows some basic obedience commands and is quite food motivated.
Crate trained. Goes right into the crate to eat and when she wants some down time. She waits patiently by the front door and pants or softly whines when she needs to go out to relieve herself.
She comes when called when she is off leash. She is very social and friendly but never jumps up on people. When she is really excited she does these little leaps in the air but not onto anyone or anything, just leaps a little bit in her own space.
She is very teachable. Has already learned "back" when I want her to get behind me so I can go out the door first.
Knox
ADOPTED 01/28/2018!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Knox made his way to us from a shelter where he was a stray. He is new to us so we are still learning more about him. He is in a loving foster home enjoying the comforts of a home along with guidance and structure. Watch for updates.
Chase
ADOPTED 01/25/2018!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Chases person loves him very much but sadly was not able to care for him. Wanting him to find the best possible home she surrendered him to our care. He is very much a puppy and will chew on things he shouldn't, he is full of puppy energy and antics and needs to learn good canine manners. Training is of course necessary and required, it will not only teach Chase good manners, but also helps build bond with his new family. Puppies are a lot of work and take time and patience. Please be sure you are able to commit to Chase and his needs for his lifetime.
Arko
ADOPTED 01/21/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Arko was surrendered as his person has a disability that kept her from providing him with proper exercise. He is a high energy boy who loves to play fetch and requires daily exercise to keep his energy in check. He is a friendly boy that enjoys spending time with his family and he is good with other dogs. He has had some training, but will require further training with his new family. When he gets overly excited he can become mouthy, not applying pressure or biting, but for this reason we feel it's best he not be in a home with a younger children.
Hank
ADOPTED 01/21/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Hank came to us from a shelter where he was ended up for going after chickens and goats, so a home without livestock is best for Hank. He is a friendly boy and good with children. He also gets along well with other dogs. Hank is in a foster home enjoying a warm comfy bed, exercise and of course lots of love and care.
Updates:Hank is a wonderful dog and very friendly and laid back. Sadly, sweet Hank tested heartworm positive when seen by a MAGSR vet. He obviously was not kept on monthly Heartworm Preventatives which would have protected him. MAGSR will make sure Hank gets the treatment he needs to rid his body of Heartworms so that he may enjoy many more years of life. Treatment is expensive but Hank is certainly worth the cost. Donations towards his treatment would be greatly appreciated – this would also help us save other dogs with medical needs.
Ozzie
ADOPTED 01/21/2018!
Good With Kids: Older Kids Only
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Ozzie's former person took ill and was no longer able to care for him. He was brought to the VA area by a family member and is now in our care looking for his forever family. Ozzie is a very big boy at 94 lbs He has undergone formal training but will require further training with his new family. He has not lived with dogs before but did well meeting another German Shepherd during our evaluation. Ozzie does have the tendency to herd (nip at) children, for this reason we feel it is best that he not be placed in a home with young children. A boy of this size can be intimating to small children and he could also accidentally knock them down. For the most past Ozzie's former person exercised Ozzie on daily 2 mile walks and lots of games of fetch. Daily exercise is key to keep energy in check, so please be sure you have the time to commit to his exercise needs, training and of course a lifetime of love and care.
Bella
ADOPTED 01/20/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Bella's owners could not care for her appropriately and she spent most of her young life in a crate but all that has changed now that she is in the rescue living with a foster. She is a puppy in every sense of the way in that she has boundless energy and is very inquisitive. She loves to cuddle, give puppy kisses, and play with squeaky toys. She will need work on her leash manners but she corrects easily and wants to please. She is very much a lap dog and just wants to be close to her people at all times. Bella gets along with dogs and kids and is just the happiest girl when given love and attention. She enjoys car rides so long as she can look out the window : ) Bella is ready find her forever home, could that be you?
Hoss
ADOPTED 01/19/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
This young handsome boy landed in a shelter and we have no idea why. He is 7 months old, full of energy and puppy behaviors. He is in need of training as he is lacking manners and has so much to learn. With training, structure and guidance from his new family he will learn to be a well mannered boy. It is obvious whoever had him for his first months of life did not take the time to teach him. If you are looking for a young, playful, willing to learn boy and have the time to commit to ongoing training ask to meet Hoss.
McGregor
ADOPTED 01/15/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
McGregor made his way to us from a shelter where he had been taken in as a stray. We have no information about his past but our volunteers are getting to know him better. He may be 5 years old but he has the energy of a younger dog. He does require training as it's obvious that no one ever spent time with him teaching much. With guidance, training and consistency he will learn what is acceptable but he needs a family to help him learn.
Briggs
ADOPTED 01/07/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Briggs was surrendered to a shelter by his former family as he may have EPI, which is easily treatable. They had planned on breeding him with their female Shepherds, thankfully that will not happen now. With so many unwanted dogs in shelters we did not need more to add to those that die everyday. We will be having Briggs tested for EPI and should he have it he will be started on enzymes, it's that simple. He is such a friendly boy who thinks he is a lap dog. He is good with other dogs. Watch for updates.
Updates:Briggs is a wonderful dog and very friendly and affectionate – he just wants his human to love and pet him. Sadly, sweet Briggs tested heartworm positive when seen by a MAGSR vet. He obviously was not kept on monthly Heartworm Preventatives which would have protected him. MAGSR will make sure Briggs gets the treatment he needs to rid his body of Heartworms so that he may enjoy many more years of life. Treatment is expensive but Briggs is certainly worth the cost. Donations towards his treatment would be greatly appreciated, this would also help us save other dogs with medical needs
MAGSR has tested Briggs and he has Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI), which can be very well controlled with proper nutrition and adding enzymes to his food which helps with digestion. More information can be found at epi4dogs.com along with before and after pictures of dogs that have EPI.
From time to time you come across a dog whose outgoing and playful personality simply warms your heart. Briggs is that dog. An impressive and lovable boy, Briggs simply wants to be a member of the family. Since coming into his foster home, we have discovered that Briggs is very well behaved in his crate, loves toys, and takes every opportunity he can get to snuggle in for attention. At this time Briggs knows a few commands - come, sit, and paw. He clearly likes to please and will be the star of the class when it comes to training.
Although Briggs has a few restrictions at this time due to his heart worm treatment, he is a great patient and does not seem phased by these restrictions. As his body heals, Briggs will definitely enjoy playing with toys and socializing regularly. Briggs would love nothing more than a forever home that will provide him with the training, exercise, and love this special guy deserves. If Briggs sounds like a good match for your family, please contact your adoptions coordinator today.
Buck

Buck made his way to us from a shelter, so we have no history on him. In the time he has been out of the shelter Buck has been very friendly with all people he meets and enjoys the company of other dogs. He enjoys to greet people by giving them hugs which is quite cute, but with a dog of his size he will have to learn how to properly introduce himself with all four on the floor. He does require training, this will help him learn good manners, good leash skills and of course help him bond with his new family.
Haus
ADOPTED 12/31/2017!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 10
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Haus came to us from us a shelter where he ended up as a stray. He is a big handsome boy weighing in at 89 lbs and could use to put on another 10 lbs or so. He is a loving foster home settling in nicely and enjoying his time with the resident dog. He is a big friendly boy who is looking for a family to take him to training, provide daily exercise and proper care for his lifetime.
Updates:I’m doing great at my fosters house. I’m house broken, I know sit, down, shake, bed and working on stay. I walk nicely on a leash and like jogging with my foster mom. I like kids but sometimes I can play a little rough so a home with older kids would be nice. I like to play fetch and I play nicely with my foster brother. I’m good at being loose in the house and with being crated. I don’t bark much (literally 5 time in 2 weeks) and when I doing it’s because a cat walks by the house. I’m very sweet and if you think I’m cute I’d love to meet you!

Sadly Beretta's former person unexpectedly passed away. Beretta is now in a foster home settling in and adjusting to her new surroundings. Don't let her age fool you, she had a very good vet check up, enjoys going for walks, hanging out and exploring the world around her. Ask to meet Beretta, she will bring years of love and joy to your life.
Updates:Hi I'm Berretta! I lost my human mommy a few weeks ago and miss her dearly, but I have so much love to give that I'm looking for a new family to shower with love and attention. I like to snuggle and I’ll sit beside you and lean my head against your leg as long you want because I love to be loved, too.
It would be wonderful to find a home with someone who is around a lot and if they have a yard with a high fence, that would be great. If I need to be left alone, though, I’m very good in my crate.
Even though I’m a mature lady, I can run and jump. I even liked the agility gym when I tried it out. Afterwards, I just like to sit on the couch, be petted, and watch some TV with you.
My foster parents say that I walk beautifully on a leash, ride quietly in the car, happily socialize with other people (and even with the cats), and love to be bathed and brushed, so I don't shed much!
I’d love to meet you! I'm a wonderful companion and a good watchdog, too!
Candi
ADOPTED 12/26/2017!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Candi and Brandi showed up one day at a construction site, the workers fed and cared for them in hopes someone was looking for them. They then ended up at a shelter as strays. We are not sure if they are sisters or mother and daughter, but they do look similar. They are estimated to be between 6 to 7 years old, Candi does look a little younger than Brandi. They are both sweet, gentle girls who would love the comforts of a home, and the love and care of a family.
Updates:In the first week we brought her home, the first night she was scared, her world turned upside down, and her partner gone. She was sleeping and very skittish. By the second night she came out and started showing her personality. She loves to rub up against people with her head to get attention. When you walk her sometimes she will go between your legs for protection. When you walk by the road and cars come by she gets scared, but the rest of the time she enjoys walking. When she's around you in the house, she loves attention, is kind of goofy because she'll try to walk between your legs in the house. She's mild mannered and loves attention. She eats very well.
Grace

Grace was saved from a bad situation where she lived with out proper care and housing. Her life has forever changed for the better and will continue to get better once she has found a family of her very own. She is such a nice, friendly girl. Of course she will require training with her new family, she will learn so much but most importantly Grace and her new family will learn about each other.
Olaf

Olaf found his way to us after being surrendered to a shelter by his former family. Olaf has some open sores on his body which are being treated. The vet feels they were caused by a flea allergy and had not been properly treated. The area on his back, base of tail and tail had to be shaved so that administration of topical medication can be applied properly. We are hopeful with the care he is receiving that he will be healed. Through all of this Olaf has been nothing short of wonderful. He is such a sweet boy that deserves a chance to have a family who will provide proper care for him and lots of love. He is in a loving foster home living with other dogs and children.
Ashby
ADOPTED 12/18/2017!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Beautiful and young Ashby was with her previous family for a short 2 months before they decided to give her up. They expected their young child to care for her and when she didn't they surrendered her. A pet is not and should not the responsibility of a child. A pet needs to be the entire families responsibility as they should be a member of the family. Ashby is now in a loving foster home where she is being properly cared for, along with being taught all that puppies need to learn. Raising a well mannered puppy to become a well mannered adult is an ongoing process. Puppies are a lot of work as they have accidents in the house, they will get into things and chew things they shouldn't. They need to learn leash skills, social skills and good canine manners which is the responsibility of their human family to teach them. Be sure you have the time to deal with puppy energy and antics before committing to a puppy.

Adorable Corina found herself at a shelter as a stray and her time was up. She was just too loving to leave behind to face being put to sleep. She is all puppy, she may be younger than 8 months. She is full of tail wags and puppy kisses with everyone she meets. She of course will need training and a family that has the time to deal with puppy antics. Yes, she will have potty accidents in the house and may even chew on things she shouldn't but that's what puppies do. It is up to her family to provide guidance and teach her good manners. Ask to meet our sweet Corina

Axel came to us as an owner surrender as his persons new job has her traveling frequently for work. Knowing that Axel deserved more than she could provide she put him in our care to find him a wonderful new home. Axel has lots of energy that needs to be addressed with daily exercise. Training is on the top of his list as he wants to learn good canine manners. He is young and eager to learn.
Camber
ADOPTED 12/17/2017!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Camber was picked up by animal control running at large with Lotus, their family came for them so we have no history on him. He is a large boy at 88 lbs. He has been friendly with those he has met. He does require training as do all dogs, training helps teach what is expected of them, along with good canine manners. With a dog this large you will want him to have good leash manners also.
Updates:Camber is a wonderful house guest in his foster home and very friendly and affectionate. He is making himself at home and his foster family is happy having him. Sadly, sweet Camber tested heartworm positive when seen by a MAGSR vet. He obviously was not kept on monthly Heartworm Preventatives which would have protected him. MAGSR will make sure Camber gets the treatment he needs to rid his body of Heartworms so that he may enjoy many more years of life. Treatment is expensive but Camber is certainly worth the cost. Donations towards his treatment would be greatly appreciated – this would also help us save other dogs with medical needs.

Four years ago Shelly was adopted by a wonderful family who love her dearly. Sadly her human mom has a terminal illness and can no longer care for her so she was returned to us. Her loving foster family says she is the perfect pup, crate trained, obedience trained, housebroken, walks well on leash, great with dogs, cats and kids. You couldn't ask for an easier dog. Please consider Shelly, she wants to have a family and home of her very own once again.
