Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Sadly Sadie recently lost her human dad as he unexpectedly passed away and her human mom is disabled and hospitalized.  As you can imagine Sadie is quite confused as to why she is not with her family, in a strange place with people she does know.  We are giving her time to settle in and adjust to her new surroundings.  She has been skittish with us but once she is comfortable with our volunteers she comes out of her shell and enjoys romping around.  Sadie would do best in a home that is not very busy as she is somewhat of a flight risk as she continues to look for her family.  With time and patience she will overcome this and become bonded to her new family.  
 

Tasha found herself in a shelter for reasons unknown by us.  She is a friendly girl, enjoys spending time with her people, going for walks/runs and lots of play time.  She would benefit greatly from training to teach her good manners, proper leash skills and to help create the bond with her family. Ask to meet beautiful, sweet Tasha.

Keizy was surrendered to a shelter as her family had too many dogs in their home.  She is a beautiful, young and friendly GSD, she will benefit from training to help be the best she can be.  She needs to  brush up on her leash skills, this is something her new family can spend time working with her on.   Being more petite she is much easier to handle.  Keizy is looking for a family who will commit to her for her lifetime.

Keily was surrendered to the shelter as her family had too many dogs in their home.  Keily is only 6 months old and has a lot to learn in order to be the best canine she can be.  She has a lot of energy which is typical of dog her age.  She needs someone to commit to taking her to training so that she can learn good canine manners.  A family that is active, will spend time taking her for walks, playtime and of course commit to her for her lifetime.

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

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

Chestnut 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.  Chestnut is understandably quite confused with the recent changes, but will adjust with time.  Please consider Chestnut, a family of her own will certainly help her move forward and settle in.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.  

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. 

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. 

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.

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. 

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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 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. 

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.

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. 

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?

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 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 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.

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 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.

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.

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. 

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 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.
