Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Regis was surrendered to a shelter as his family moved and could not take him with them.  He is new to us so we are still getting to know him.  He does best with female dogs and prefers them over male dogs.  He loves belly rubs, rolling over on his back for a good scratching.  Regis will benefit greatly from obedience training, learning good manners and what is expected of him.  

Geist is a male German Shepherd mix with a beautiful white coat. He is new to the rescue, but a super sweet guy. Geist is lovely with the female dogs, but not so great with male dogs. He's simply a nice fella that prefers the ladies to himself. Geist is good with humans and loving. Like all of our dogs, Geist will benefit from standard obedience work to help him be the best gentleman he can be.

Augustus was found as a stray hanging out on a person's property.  Attempts were made to find his family, but no one came for him.  He is a friendly young boy and rides well in the vehicle.  He of course is in need of training and manners, a structured home, and a loving and caring family.

Big, handsome Mack is a strong boy.  He needs to learn leash manners, as a dog of his size can be difficult to handle on a leash.  Mack is such a sweet boy.  He has been very friendly with our volunteers.  He really seems to enjoy going for drives, as when he sees a vehicle door open he wants to jump in.  Mack did spend part of his life tied up on a chain, so he probably needs to learn house manners.  While at the shelter he did participate in play groups with other dogs.

Cruz was surrendered as his former family didn’t realize how much time a young, energetic GSD requires.  Cruz lived with children and another dog in his prior home.  He does need training, this will help Cruz understand what is expected of him, teach good manners and build a bond with his new family.  Please be sure you understand that Cruz will require walks, playtime, exercise, lots of love and attention for his lifetime.

Lieve, along with her siblings Liam and Luc lived outside without proper care or an adequate amount of food for growing puppies. Thankfully they were brought to our attention and brought into our care. They were underweight, but with proper nutrition they have gained weight. The pups are a mix of Dutch Shepherd (dad) and Belgian Malinois (mom). Both of these breeds are very high energy dogs that require a lot of exercise of both their bodies and minds, along with obedience training, ongoing socialization and direction. It is imperative that you have the time, everyday, to work with them on their training and can meet their exercise needs. We will only consider adopters that have prior experience with working line dogs. 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.

Tank was taken to the vet to be euthanized because he helped himself to some livestock.  Thankfully the vet would not kill such a young and friendly boy, instead she contacted us.  Tank is good with other dogs, but will not do well with livestock, chickens or goats especially.  Of course he requires training to teach good K9 manners and to learn to work with his new family.  Time is needed by his family to help him settle in, learn the rules and to adjust to a new schedule.  Tank has had his stomach tacked, this greatly reduces his chances of bloat.  He will require daily exercise, walks, lots of love and attention for the rest of his life.  He rides well in the vehicle, he enjoys looking out the window and getting a few head rubs.  Please be certain you have what it takes for an energetic GSD and are committed for his lifetime.

Riptide was originally adopted from a shelter, where he then went on to live his life on a chain with not enough food and no shelter.  This is why it is so important that anyone wanting to adopt a dog is checked out by shelters and rescues.  Riptide was promised a better a life when the shelter adopted him but that is not what he received.  That is all changed now that he is with MAGSR, we will make sure he finds a loving and caring family, that can provide him a home, a comfy bed, good nutrition and care.  Riptide's name is very fitting, he is a high energy boy that is not sure what to do with new found freedom from the chain.  He will need training and structure, along with lots of exercise.  

Chiquita was surrendered to a shelter due to her former person moving.  She is a friendly young girl, enjoys the company of other dogs, and is attentive to her family.  She needs to gain some weight, but otherwise looks good.  Training of course is required, not only for Chiquita but also for her family.

Chloe came to us a surrender as her former owner did not like that she jumped up on her.  This of course can be controlled with training and correcting this at the time.  She lived in her prior home with other GSD’s and did well.  She has not been around children or cats, so we do not know how she does with them.  Chloe is a beautiful coated GSD, with the cutest ears.  She has been friendly with our volunteers, but unsettled with the changes in her life.  She did undergo a 3 week board and train, but her former owner did not attend training with her.  Training is just as much about training the owner as it is the dog.  You must learn to work together and create a bond.
