Adopted MAGSR Dogs

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Maren was surrendered to us as her elderly caregivers were moving and could not keep her.  She has not had any training or guidance, nor has she been exposed to the world around her.  She will need a family who will commit to training to help her build her confidence and of course to learn good canine manners.  It is important that Maren has ongoing socialization and is introduced to the sounds, sights and smells of the world.  It is her families job to guide her, work with her daily, provide lots of playtime, exercise, love and care.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Kimba was surrendered to us as her previous family stated she had too much energy and shed too much.  She lived in her previous home with smaller dogs and did well.  She has not been around children or cats so we do not know if she is good with them.  She is a friendly girl and oh so beautiful.  She will need a family that is willing to exercise and play with her, this will help her burn some energy.  Of course training is necessary.

Traeger was surrendered to a shelter and needed out quickly due to lack of space.  MAGSR responded to the plea to help Traeger who is very frightened and confused at this time.  His previous family stated he was great with cats, but we have not tested him.  He did well with the dogs he met and played with at the shelter.  His previous family also stated that he can be protective of his person when walking on the street.  This will need to be addressed with training, helping him build confidence and having a strong, experienced handler. 

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.

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

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.
