Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Sweet Karma came to MAGSR underweight and from a very sad situation.  Karma previously lived in a hoarding situation with 14 other dogs.  Karma was underfed and used for breeding.  Because of all that Karma has endured, she is confused and just needs to learn to trust and know she'll be well taken care of.  Now that MAGSR has Karma, we hope she will quickly adjust and learn that she will receive regular meals, attention, and proper socialization. If Karma sounds like the right dog for your household, please ask about her today.

Care for these hoarding rescues is putting a severe strain on MAGSR's resources. Donations towards their treatment would be greatly appreciated, this would also help us save other dogs with medical needs.

Maya found herself at a shelter for reasons unknown.  She now has another chance at a better life.  She is very sweet and laid back.  She has good manners and walks nicely on a leash.  

Mystique, a beautiful, young girl looking for her forever home and family.  She is settling into her foster home, getting to know the resident dogs and her foster family.  She is a blank slate, but ready to learn all that she needs to know to become a well mannered family member.  Watch for updates from her foster family.

Farrah came to us from a local shelter. The shelter staff told us that she was very sweet and wow, were they right! Once she warms up to you, she will give little kisses. Though Farrah is a little timid in the noisy kennel environment, she is still pretty outgoing even after all the change she has been through recently. She doesn't appear to have been taught any commands. But she is quick to learn and is very inquisitive about what is expected of her and what she is being exposed to. Farrah rides quietly in a vehicle once she jumps in. She doesn't seem to understand what toys are about which is kind of sad. But we are confident she will learn in no time. She also met an adolescent boy today while we at the shelter and she was fine with him. Again, she was curious; just taking in the world around her. Though she is estimated to be approximately 4 years old, in some ways she acts much younger and somewhat puppy-like at times. 

She was introduced to two MAGSR alums today; Snowy (seen receiving kisses from Farrah) and Karma (smaller white and cream mix) and she really liked both of them. She was very comfortable around both and she would do well in a home with a well mannered dog who she can learn from.

Luther along with his brother Woodrow have not had the best of care, but through their years of neglect they have been best buddies and the one constant in their lives.  These boys are very bonded and would not do well separated, they must be adopted as a pair.  The boys are settling into their foster home together and experiencing a life of love and comfort that they so deserve.

Luther is stunning, although his coat and skin are dry at this time the good nutrition he is now receiving will make a big difference.

Magda came to us from a shelter so we have no information about her past.  We do know that she is a sweet, friendly girl looking to the future with her new family.  She needs to put on some weight, with good nutrition it will also help with her dry skin.  Watch for updates from her foster family.

Woodrow along with his brother Luther have not had the best of care, but through their years of neglect they have been best buddies and the one constant in their lives.  These boys are very bonded and would not do well separated, they must be adopted as a pair.  The boys are settling into their foster home together and experiencing a life of love and comfort that they so deserve.

Woodrow is about 30 lbs underweight, he also is missing fur with sores on his body which the vet feels is caused by a Flea infestation which caused dermatitis.  He is now receiving the care and nutrition he so desperately deserves and is under the care of our vet.  We think he is very handsome and will only be even more so once his fur grows back and he gains some much needed weight.

Lincoln is a young handsome Black and Tan Shepherd.  He still has lots of puppy energy and mannerisms.  He is looking for an active family who take him for long walks or runs and of course lots of playtime.  He is ready to learn the finer things of being a well mannered family member so training is a must.

Grisham is a friendly boy with lots of puppy energy, at only 1 yr he is still a puppy.  Training will go along way in helping him learn good manners and create a bond with his new family.  Young dogs need a lot of attention and guidance, so please be sure you are able to commit to Grisham for the rest of his life.

Achilles made his way to us after he had been turned into a shelter by his former family.  He is strikingly handsome, full of puppy energy and mannerisms.  It is obvious that no one ever worked with him on good manners.  A good training program along with structure and consistency will go along way in helping him become a good K9 citizen.  He is no couch potato and has so much too learn, it is important that his new family has the time and patience to work with him.

Missy is a precious four year old shepherd mix. This terrified girl was in her house surviving alone for four weeks after her loving owner passed away. She never left his side and managed to tip over her bag of dog food to survive.Missy is a quiet gentle soul and enjoys having quiet quality time with her fosters.  Missy is indifferent to both dogs and cats. Missy is in a foster so her heart can heal and she can decompress.  Missy is a petite girl, loving known by us a pocket Shepherd.  She would be a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys snuggling, having a loving shadow and just hanging out.  She is extremely loyal to her people and would benefit from a new family to bond with.

Jolene was found as a stray with a pretty significant cut/wound to her leg.  The shelter provided her with medical care but unfortunately her wound has not completely healed.  Jolene has been seen by our vet and will be seeing a specialist to see what can be done to help with the healing of the wound.  This  has certainly cramped Jolene's style as she is a high energy girl who loves to run, play and go for walks.  Exercise helps burn off some of that energy, but she will have to forgo excessive exercise until her leg has completely healed.  Once all healed up she will be ready for a running partner.  Jolene does better with male dogs and non dominant female dogs.

Gianna is a funny loving, full of tail wags, energetic, full of puppy antics girl.  She will require a family with lots of patience as she has so much to learn.  Puppies are a lot of work, they get into things, they chew, they have accidents and require training and socialization.  Please be sure you are prepared for all of the fun, work and committment a puppy requires.

Kiley is a fun loving, full of tail wags, energetic, full of puppy antics girl.  She will require a family with lots of patience as she has so much to learn.  Puppies are a lot of work, they get into things, they chew, they have accidents and require training and socialization.  Please be sure you are prepared for all of the fun, work and committment a puppy requires.

Fiona is a beautiful young girl who found herself at a shelter.  She of course requires training and a family that will provide structure and guidance.  Lots of walks, playtime and exercise of both her body and mind will help keep her energy in check.  

Willow is a beautiful young girl who is in need of training, direction and leadership from her family.  She is at the age where she is coming into her own, trying to figure things out and testing the boundaries.  She respects a strong leader, but will take advantage of someone who she feels she can get away with things.  She is young and energetic and has a lot to learn.  Please be sure you have the time, commitment and energy it takes to properly raise and care for a GSD.

Harley came to us as his family is moving out of the country.  

He is a very large, handsome boy.  

He is friendly with people, although he is a great protector of his home and property.  He doesn't like just anyone coming near or in his home unless he is properly introduced and he knows they are allowed to be there.  

He needs some training and is currently working on his leash manners, with a boy of his size he needs good skills.

Cassie came to us as an owner surrender as the sons asthma was flaring up which was caused by Cassie.  Her family is devastated as Cassie was a much loved and cherished family member.  Cassie is a sweet and well behaved girl who has been very well cared for.  She is somewhat confused with the changes but she is quickly settling into her foster home with the resident children, dogs and cats.
 

Shelby came to us from a shelter with no prior information. She is quite confused with the changes and is somewhat scared. Our volunteers are working on helping her settle in and adjust.

She is reported as being good with other dogs.

Shelby will need a family who will help her adjust to her new life, give her guidance and consistency.

Sam is a very handsome 8 year old male GSD.  He has not been well cared for up until now, he is underweight and entered the shelter covered in fleas.  Life has changed for the better, he is now receiving good nutrition, he has been treated for the flea infestation and he is much loved by our rescue.  Now all that Sam needs is a family who will love him and provide proper care for his lifetime.  Please consider Sam for your family, he deserves a new start at a better life.

Diesel is a very handsome, friendly young boy who was surrendered as his person fell on hard times.  He was very much loved and is greatly missed by his former person.  He is playful, full of young energy and enjoys to swim.  He has some manners to learn, but nothing that a good training program can't help with.  

Grizzly is the son of Apache and the brother to Keena.  Grizzly does best with another dog as they help him relax.  He is somewhat shy, he will require someone with patience and who will work on helping him build his confidence.  Training will go along way and certainly help with him getting use to being on a leash.  He is a sweet boy just a little unsure, it is obvious he was not well socialized, but with your help he should blossom.

Cagney landed in a shelter as a stray and no one came looking for her. She has done well with other dogs she has met and has been friendly with people she has met. She is a petite young girl who needs to gain a little weight. Training will go a long way for Cagney, as it does for all of our dogs. It is important that a bond is created between the dog and their handler/family. It helps you both learn more about each other and teaches good canine manners.

Angie was adopted in 2013 and recently returned after her family could no longer provide for her. She’s confident, friendly and outgoing.
Though she is currently overweight due to a thyroid condition, we are working on slimming her down. She has an interest in playing ball but does not have a lot of stamina at this time. But we’re confident this will change. She likes to go for leisurely walks and heels well on leash. She also likes to ride in the vehicle and does so very quietly.
She’s had some obedience training and knows German commands. Once she gets to know you, she loves to give kisses.
Because of her hypothyroid condition (low thyroid), she is on medication and will be for the rest of her life. This will require periodic bloodwork to check her response to the medication. The cost of her medication is very reasonable and is administered via a very small pill given twice daily with her food. This is a condition that is typically very simple to treat and regulate.

Right now, we are re-familiarizing ourselves with her and will update you as we learn more about her. But at this time, she will only be placed in an adult home with no other dogs or cats.

Jackie is a beautiful 1 1/2 yr old female GSD.  She was surrendered to us as the other dog in the house would not accept her.  In her best interest the family reached out to us so that Jackie could find a new home and family.  She lived with children in her prior home and enjoyed playing with them.  Jackie is somewhat timid and will take time to become comfortable with her new family and surroundings.  She likes to take things slowly and seems to bond quicker with women then she does men.  The family that surrendered her to us rescued her after she was dumped in their yard late at night, so we have no history as to what happened to her prior to the last few weeks.  She loves hotdogs which quickly will win her over when she is feeling overwhelmed.  She just arrived in our care so she is still getting use to her new living arrangements and foster.  

Saphire came to us from a shelter with no known history.

She is a beautiful young friendly girl. She does know some basic commands, walks well on a leash and enjoys time with people.

Saphire does need to lose some weight, with proper diet and exercise this will be achieved.

Nero came to us with his sister Ebony.  We do not have any history on them.  Nero is a friendly, playful boy who gets along well with other dogs.  He enjoys being snuggled by his family. He is a puppy and will require patients, guidance, training, ongoing socialization with people and other dogs.  

Sam was adopted from a shelter, his new family took him for board and train but never came back for him. He ended up back in the shelter looking for another chance.

He is young, playful and full of energy. He would benefit from training, guidance and lots of exercise.

Jazmine is a such nice girl, she enjoys time with her people and other dogs.  She needs work on her leash manners but with training that will come quickly.  Up for a game of fetch, Jazmine is your girl.  

Ebony came to us with her brother Nero.  We do not have any history on them.  Ebony is somewhat scared with all of the changes in her life.  She gets along well with other dogs.  She is a puppy and will require patients, guidance, training, ongoing socialization with people and other dogs.   Helping build her confidence will go a long way.

Chet was picked up as a stray in MD.  He waited at the shelter for his family but no one came to claim him. Chet has put that sad life behind him and is now ready for his forever family- one who will never abandon him.

Sadie came to us as an owner surrender due to changes in the families living situation.  She is a young energetic girl who will need an active family to keep her busy.  Training will help Sadie learn good manners and proper leash skills.  She enjoys the water and playing with other dogs.

Jeremy came to us from a shelter so we have no past history.  He is a friendly boy, he enjoys being brushed, going for walks and hanging out with his person.  When walking or by his persons side he likes to lean in, staying close.

Foxy landed herself in a shelter after her family would not care for her or comply with animal control.  She waited at the Animal Shelter for a month, hoping her former owners would fix their fence and bring her home, but they never did. Foxy is an energetic friendly little girl whose enthusiasm for walks and play makes her seem much younger than five. Sweet Foxy is ready for a forever home that will give her lots of walks and belly rubs. Foxy needs a patient owner as she is understandably anxious and will need someone to set calm boundaries for her, her while she settles into home life again.

Foxy loves meeting new people. She has been wonderful with children and responded to a child stepping on her paw by crying and showing her belly. She was clearly housebroken, but after such a long time in a kennel she should stay on a leash or crate inside, until she develops a routine of going outside. Foxy knows basic commands and rides nicely in a car. She is working on not pulling on a leash, but is not too hard to walk because she pays attention her handler.  Foxy is pushy, barky, and very forward with other dogs. She is very frightened if a dog approached her while she is crated. Foxy will need to work on socialization with dogs as she greets other dogs by jumping on them. Foxy could live with another dog who does not want to dominate her and enjoys energetic play. Taking her to obedience class outside would be ideal, so she can learn to listen around other dogs, while having some space. Foxy is good in her foster house. She hasn’t chewed anything inappropriate and doesn’t mess with food on the counter or bother the trash. She is learning to stay off the couch and would certainly try to join her new owner in bed for a cuddle, if not instructed otherwise.

Foxy would be a great fit for someone who lives in an urban/suburban setting. She would be fine in an apartment. Foxy needs to be on a leash at all times outside; she has jumped a four-foot fence, for fun, and is clearly willing to dig a tunnel if bored.  Foxy is going to be someone’s shadow and very best friend.  If Foxy sounds like a good fit for your family, please ask to meet her.

Apache is a beautiful Black and Tan bi-color female Shepherd.  She is the mother to Grizzly and Keena.

She is a friendly, loving girl who rolls over belly rubs any chance she gets.  She needs some work on his leash skills and of course training to teach her good K-9 manners.  We have no prior history on her so we do not know how she is with children or cats.

Maya found herself at a shelter for reasons unknown.  She now has another chance at a better life.  She is very sweet and laid back.  She has good manners and walks nicely on a leash.  

Desiree made her way to us from a shelter so we have no history on her. She is a gorgeous black long hair GSD.

While in our care she has met children, covering them in kisses.

She does have energy and can be jumpy but settles down nicely.

​Cash was surrendered to a shelter as the child in the home was highly allergic to him. He is such a wonderful boy, easy to handle and has leash manners. He would love to be in a home with a loving family.​

Khloe was in a shelter hoping someone would give her a second chance at life.  That we did, but we are only the first step on her journey, a new family will complete that journey.  She is emaciated, but has been putting on weight with the help of good nutrition and regular meals.  She is a nice girl who just needs someone that will care for and love her.  Could that be you?

April's life is forever changed, thanks to those who saved her from horrid and unsafe living conditions.  It is amazing that with all that April has endured she is so incredibly sweet and wants to be loved and properly cared for.  April deserves a family who will provide a wonderful life for her, one full of love and a commitment for her lifetime.
