Adopted MAGSR Dogs

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

Sally came to us with no former history, so we are getting to know her.  She is quite skittish, but has shown no aggression, she just wants to hide.  For this reason she is a flight risk and will need to be walked on a leash, even in a fenced yard.  With training, structure and guidance Sally will build her confidence.   Once bonded to her new family, which takes time and patience, trust will be gained.  Due to her being a flight risk this time, we will not place her in a home with young children who could accidentally open a door allowing Sally to escape.  She loves her crate as it is her safe place.  With the crate door open she will freely go in.  She is in a foster home where she is learning to trust humans, becoming accustomed to the sights, sounds and smells of a home and being around humans that love her.  Sally will need a family who will take the time to show her that humans are not mean, that she is safe and loved.  She does not need to be coddled, she needs someone who will take the time to help her move past her fears, relax and learn to enjoy life.

Mochi came to us as a stray from a shelter.  It is hard to believe that no one was looking for him, he is absolutely a wonderful boy.  He is friendly with everyone he meets, just an overall friendly boy.  He enjoys playing with other dogs, lots of playtime helps him burn off the energy of a young dog.  Mochi is certainly ready to move on and to meet his new family.

Copper was surrendered to a shelter as the family had 8 dogs which was against county pet laws.  He is wonderful with other dogs. He is somewhat timid and looks to his person for guidance and direction.  He feels much more comfortable when his person is a confident handler.  He enjoys curling up in your lap and being loved on.  

Meet MAGSR's newest bonded pair - Chewy (m) & Tanga (f)! These two were surrendered to MAGSR after their human mom passed away - they are understandably confused and nervous. They are reported to be good with dogs, kids and cats (lived with 2 chihuahuas and cats). MAGSR will make every effort to keep them together.  They are both very large dogs and need to lose some weight, nothing exercise and reduction in food intake won't help.  Do you have room in your home and heart for two??

Zeus was adopted from us as an 8 week old puppy.  He was returned as the adopter claims he is moving and could not find housing that would allow a large breed dog.  Zeus is a wonderful, friendly boy.  He needs some brushing up on his obedience training.  He is over weight and could use to lose pounds, walks, and playtime along with cutting back on his food intake will help him reach optimal weight.  He was often left with a pet sitter who had children and cats, he did fine with all.  In his previous home he lived with other dogs without problems.  Zeus will make a great family addition, please ask to meet him.

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.

Sadly Soldier's person found themselves homeless needing to find a new home for Soldier.  He is now in our care in a foster home.  He has done well with other dogs, cats and children since being in his foster home.  His foster will provide an update once she has gotten to know him better and he has had the chance to settle in.

Chauncey has been let down by people 3 times in his short life, he is now looking for his forever family that will commit to him for his for lifetime.

He was first in a shelter at 4 weeks old, adopted at 8 weeks old as a cute adorable puppy only to be returned at 7 months old.  He was too much to handle and no time was spent on training.  He was then adopted again and returned as his family was moving and they were not willing to find a place that allowed dogs.  Chauncey didn't deserve to be treated this way, he is not disposable.  He is 73 lbs but could stand to lose 5 lbs or so.  Nothing that daily exercise, walks and a little less food won't help.  He enjoys the outdoors, playing, going for walks and exploring his surroundings.  Please, when considering adding a dog to your family that you are able to commit to them for their lifetime.  They should be treated as a loving family member.

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.

Sweet Shrek was surrendered to us as his former person had no time for him.  He was being left in a junk filled backyard.  Shrek has a partially missing ear which we were told his mother bit off.  It seems that he also has some damage to the tip of his other ear.  This in no way takes away from how adorable him, it gives him his own unique look.  He is in a foster home enjoying his time living indoors, having a large clean yard to romp around in with the resident dogs.  His foster family has started working with him on training and he is learning quickly.  It is important that his new family continues with training and keeping him socialized with other people and dogs.  This time in his life is critical for this as it provides a great foundation for him to be a well balanced adult.

Harleigh was a stray and taken to a shelter.  She is good with other dogs, She is a little shy, but she is just getting to know us.  She is a petite girl, but very beautiful and easier to handle then the larger Shepherds.   

Manning made his way to us after sitting in a shelter as a stray.  We have no information on him prior to him coming into our care.  He is a friendly boy, he enjoys the company of other dogs.  He needs sometime to settle in to his new life and get use to all of the changes, but he seems to be taking it all in stride.  Manning is now looking for a forever family and a soft bed in his new home.

Jack came to us with no prior history, so we are getting to know him.  He can be a little unsure of new things and people which results him hiding.  But once comfortable with his person he becomes a 75 lb. lap dog.  He will flourish with training and guidance, this will help him build a bond with his family and relax so that he can enjoy the world around him.  He does have a lot of strength and no leash manners, this is something that needs to be worked on.  If you are looking for a handsome boy and don't mind a large lap dog to cuddle with then Jack is your boy

Reuger is a young, handsome boy who has been through basic obedience training.  It is imperative that he continues training with his new family.  Reuger is not good with small dogs and will not be placed in a home with small dogs.  In his previous home he had escaped the home through an opened door and an electric fence going after small dogs in the neighborhood.  He did live with a cat, getting along fine as long as the cat did not run around.  He also lived with a female GSD and was fine with her.  Reuger does play rough with other dogs, so another dog in the home must be playful and accepting of rough housing.  Reuger also has the tendency to get mouthy with people when he is overly excited.  Training, structure and direction can help with these behaviors.  Reuger will do best with experienced GSD people, who have the time and knowledge to work with him. 

Peggy came to us from a shelter where she was a stray so we have no back history on her.  She has been friendly and easy to handle since arriving in our care.  She of course needs training to help her learn good manners and to learn what is expected of her.  Training is also good socialization with other people and dogs, which this breed requires.

Annie came to us a surrender as her former person was not properly caring for her.  His family intervened knowing that Annie deserved a better life, one filled with love and care.  Annie is in a loving foster home where she lives with children.  She has adjusted well to her foster home and family.  

Red made his way to us from a shelter where he was surrendered.  Unfortunately we do not have any back history on him.  Since being in our care he has been friendly and pretty laid back.  If you are looking for a refined gentleman to go for leisurely strolls, spend time hanging out, that is past the high energy level of a adolescent dog then Red is the boy for you. 

Samson came to us as an owner surrender as his former person could no longer care for him due to personal health issues.  Samson is shy when when meeting new people, he requires a little time to check you out.  He is good with children and other dogs, but prefers his home be cat free.  Samson needs to build up his confidence, socialization along with training will help him, along with structure.  He is in a foster home adjusting to the changes in his life.

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

Manning made his way to us after sitting in a shelter as a stray.  We have no information on him prior to him coming into our care.  He is a friendly boy, he enjoys the company of other dogs.  He needs sometime to settle in to his new life and get use to all of the changes, but he seems to be taking it all in stride.  Manning is now looking for a forever family and a soft bed in his new home.

Annie along with Essie were turned into a shelter after their human mom took ill and could no longer care for them.  They were much loved and well cared for.  They have lived their entires lives together, so we are hoping a very special family will find room in their hearts and homes for them both.  Essie is more outgoing than Annie.  Annie more independent and can be aloof.   Don't let their age fool you, these girls have spunk, enjoying walks and playtime

Ramsay made his way to our care from shelter, where he ended up as a stray.  Ramsay is a handsome, approximate 2 year old male GSD mix.  He takes a brief moment to warm up to new people, but once he does he quickly becomes your best friend.  He likes to lean into his person, enjoys being petted and being with his family.  He is a strong boy and pulls quite a bit when being walked, training will help this along with helping him learn good canine manners. 

Baylor is a sweet, well mannered boy.  He is a good size to handle and snuggle with.  He's a little shaken up by the recent changes in his life, but he is settling in.  Baylor would love to have a family of his very own, the comforts of  a soft bed, the love and care a forever family. 

Olaf is an affectionate boy, he enjoys time with his family.  He is housebroken and crate trained.  He was in a foster home previously living with other dogs, cats and children, he did fine with all.  In his adoptive home he lived with another dog and for reasons unknown he would bark at her incessantly at times.  He would go to a dog park, but would want to herd the other dogs, along with barking at them.  For this reason Olaf would not be a dog that should go to a dog park.  Olaf has had basic obedience training, but further training is needed.  Olaf has energy to burn, so a backyard for him to run and play would help his energy.  Walks, runs and working on his training will help him both physically and mentally burn energy.  

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.
