Emerson
ADOPTED 09/25/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Emmerson came to us as a result of MAGSR stepping up to help these puppies, along with several other dogs, from a rescue in the Carolinas who had to evacuate due to flooding from Hurricane Florence. Emmerson cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little boy, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses. Emmerson 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, Emmersonwill become even more of an amazing boy than he already is. Please inquire if Emmerson sounds like a good match for your family.
Evi
ADOPTED 09/24/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes, older kids
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Evi was tied to a fence in a nearby park with a note on her neck that her owner is homeless and asked for someone to please give her a good home. The shelter reached out to MAGSR to help Evi find a forever home. It is reported that she is good with children and other dogs, but will Chase cats. She is a friendly, sweet girl. She does need basic obedience training which will teach her good manners and help the bond between her and her new family.
Updates:Evi is settling in to her foster home nicely and is learning how to behave in the home. Evi has a good bit of energy and loves to play – so much so that she plays very rough and will use her mouth during play. Due to Evi’s roughness and mouthiness during playing, Evi will not be placed in a home with young children. Evi will need a leader who is willing to work with her and burn her energy. If that leader is you, please ask to meet Evi.
Baldwin
ADOPTED 09/23/2018!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Baldwin was surrendered as his family was moving and could not take him with them. He is a young energetic pup who needs a family that has the time, patience and are willing to commit to raising a young dog. He will require training, guidance and boundaries so that he will become a well mannered, well socialized adult GSD. He is settling into his foster home so watch for updates as the foster gets to know more about him.
Glory
ADOPTED 09/22/2018!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Glory came to us from a shelter so we have no history on her. Since arriving in our care she has been friendly. She previously lived wth another GSD. She of course needs training, which help her learn good behavior and manners. Glory is adjusting to living in a foster home, watch for updates.
Updates:Unfortunately, Glory tested heartworm positive when seen by MAGSR's vet. This could have been avoided had she been kept on monthly heartworm preventatives. Glory is in the beginning stages of her heartworm treatment, which of course MAGSR will pay for her entire treatment. Treatment is expensive but Glory is certainly worth the cost. Donations towards her treatment would be greatly appreciated, this would also help us save other dogs with medical needs. She will have to take it slow for the next few months while undergoes treatment, so lots of rest will be in order.
Glory has started her heartworm treatment and is doing pretty well adjusting to the activity restrictions she needs to finish getting better. Glory is so sweet and loving to the volunteers who come to the kennel to get her out for some fresh air. She is working on her sits, downs and stays and she takes treats gently. Glory would love to have someone to help her through the rest of her treatment and love her fur-ever - could that someone be you?
Titan
ADOPTED 09/16/2018!
Good With Kids: Older Kids Only
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Titan's human dad took ill and can no longer care for him. Titan has had some turmoil in his life and will need time to adjust to the changes in his life. He lived with teenagers in his temporary home before being surrendered to us. Stability, structure and training will help him tremendously, this also helps build a bond between the dog and family. At only 2 years old he does have lots of energy, lots of mental and physical exercise will help burn that young dog energy.
Updates:Titan a very handsome, long haired GSD with a lot to offer. He can sit, down, stay, walks well on a leash, loads in the car easily and takes treats very gently. He's fine being brushed, AND having mats removed which is very important with his beautiful long coat. Titan is a wonderful boy who will make someone a loyal companion.
Dakota
ADOPTED 09/15/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Dakota came to us from a shelter. We have been told that she is a people person, enjoying being by your side and following you around. She also adores children according to the report we received. She has been around cats, but she seeks them out to play. This may be too rough for some cats if not properly managed. We are also told that she is good with dogs of all sizes. Sadly it looks as though she was used for breeding then dumped. She has no leash skills at this time, but this is something our volunteers will work on. She requires training to teach her good manners. She has energy as she is young and will require daily exercise.
Strax
ADOPTED 09/15/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Sweet Strax found himself in a shelter when his family dumped him there. The shelter staff love him very much and took very good care of him. Strax has some skin issues which we are having looked into by a vet. We are not sure if it's allergies to food, environmental or if it's something else. His food has been changed to a grain free and he's on fish oil, it will take some time to see if this helps. Strax lived with children in his previous home, he was cat tested at the shelter and he did well so he may be able to live in a home with cats. He is such a well mannered, even keeled boy. He takes everything in stride, welcomes all people he meets and will play bow when introduced to other dogs. Strax seems to be an overall well balanced boy who would fit well into anyone's life.
Updates:Strax is a very laid back boy, easy to walk, wants to be around you all the time, loves people, wants to meet everybody, good with other dogs, is crate trained, loves ice cubes. Bottom line, Strax is amazing! His foster parents cannot go to the refrigerator without him running up and looking at the freezer for his ice cube. Strax thrives on making his humans happy. His foster parents call him their dream dog because he is so easy and dedicated. Strax LOVES his donated Nylabone as much as we love Strax! Strax would be an amazing family dog in his furever home. Does Strax sound like the perfect fit for you? If so, ask to meet him.
Oso
ADOPTED 09/14/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Oso a very handsome, big boy weighing in at 105 lbs. Although he is large, he is a gentle giant. Oso's favorite activity is to play with balls, the more balls the better, yes even soccer and basketball size balls. It is imperative that all dogs go through obedience training and Oso is not exception. With a dog of this size you want to have good manners, this will make walking him on a leash much more enjoyable.
Unfortunately Oso was returned to us. Family members moved into his home, after he had lived there over a year, with small dogs that Oso did not get along with, so he got the boot. He was fine with the neighbors female GSD. He came back to us over weight so he has been put on diet, that along with exercise he should be down a good weight in no time.
Updates:Oso sure does LOVE balls, all sizes, squeaky and otherwise, this boy goes nuts for them! He's a very calm, loving sweetheart who will be a great companion on walks or just hanging around. He's easy on the leash, takes treats gently, sits nicely for brushing and knows basic commands. A training class will help with bonding to this honey of a dog, once complete you will have a wonderful friend. Just look at that smile, with his size and demeanor, he's sure to impress!
Oso has been a very good boy in his foster home and very respectful. Oso knows sit and stay until he gets his release command before he goes for his food and he is working on and getting better about taking treats gently. Oso loves belly rubs and loves being petted on the head and around the ears (he's a real fan of shoulder massages). Oso will give his human kisses. Oso is working on his leash manners and after walking a bit, will settle into a nice heel. Oso is a very kind and gentle soul. If Oso sounds like a good fit for your family, ask to meet him.
Oso is settling into his new foster home more day by day. He know basic commands such as sit and down. With a strong leader, he walks well on a leash. Oso is completely house broken and has had no accidents in the house although he doesn't know which door to go to because he hasn't been in his new foster home long enough to know. Oso loves being pet and let's you know he wants attention. He is well behaved in his crate when he can't hear or see anyone. When he knows his humans are around, he wants to be with them. Oso loves being in his foster home but he would love a furever home instead.
Sarge
ADOPTED 09/10/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Hi friends, my name is Sarge and I am interviewing prosepctive forever families. Let me explain my situation and get you up to speed. I managed to get myself in quite a pickle as I landed myself in local shelter as a stray. I am not really sure what a stray is but I will figure that out later. The accommodations were not bad. They were really nice to me and I did get a warm bed and two squares a day! It was kind of rough though because I was use to em... certain luxeries. I was at this place for about a month when they told me my foster family was coming to pick me up and bring me home! They are amazing and I am really living it up here wth them but foster mean temporary until my perfect home presents itself. They told me I can stay as long as I need to which makes me so happy. I even heard them say they were taking me to acupuncture this weekend so I am hoping that is some sort of massage and they provide treats! I will update later on how that goes.. So dont worry, I am in a good place as I interview
So back to my requirements.. you know a senior gentleman has certain needs and things we become accustomed to. I like a soft orthopedic bed with a blanky, I demand regular head and belly scratches, and daily treats. And let's be clear, I DONT enjoy steps and can only get up or down one or two steps because I sustained a bad pelvic injury in my younger days that never healed correctly so I only get around on three legs. My back leg is pretty useless although it does help to steady me when begging at the table... I have learned to compensate for my injury and do still enjoy playing and romping in the yard. My new family will need to provide some pain meds and supplements to help keep me as pain free as possible. Here is a positive.. I am totally house broken but do require to be let out every few hours as in my old age I just can't hold it as long as when I was a young buck.. My favorite past time aside from eating is sleeping because don't forget I am a senior boy and require several naps.. I am the most laid back guy that you will ever meet! I like my doggie friends big and small! I am just an all around great companion and just want a person to call my own. I will follow you around and lay at your feet! If you feel you could be my forever family and provide for my senior needs please apply above! Love Sarge
Thor
ADOPTED 09/09/2018!

Thor's human dad took ill and can no longer care for him. Thor has had some turmoil in his life and will need time to adjust to the changes in his life.

At only 2 years old he does have lots of energy, lots of mental and physical exercise will help burn that young dog energy.
Updates:Thor is an incredible pup who really just needs a firm guiding hand to become the wonderful companion he was meant to be. Thor is looking for a human who will train and groom him and he'll return it with forever loyalty. Thor is wonderful and will make someone a loyal companion. Will that be you?
