Grace
ADOPTED 08/15/2018!
, 
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 16
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Grace came to us from a shelter we have no history on her. Since arriving in our care she has been friendly, she rides well in the car and did well at her vet visit. She previously lived wth another GSD. She of course needs training, which help her learn good behavior and manners. Grace is heartworm positive, this could have been avoided had she been kept on monthly heartworm preventatives. Grace is in the beginning stages of her heartworm treatment, which of course MAGSR is paying for her entire treatment. She will have to take it slow for the next few months while undergoes treatment, so lots of rest is in order.
Updates:Grace has completed her heartworm treatment and is now heartworm free. Once Grace bonds with her human and gets comfortable, she becomes protective of her space. This can be easily managed by putting her away in a secure room and/or crate when people come to the home. She will also benefit from a strong leader, who has prior experience with the breed, and who will provide appropriate correction and training. Grace will not meet families with children under the age of 16. Grace is very excited to be able to run and play just like any other dog once again. Now she’s even more interested in finding her forever home and family to share her love with. Could that be your family?
Miss Grace is just as beautiful, sweet, bouncy, and eager-to-please a dog as you could ask to meet. She’s doing wonderfully in her foster home, crates beautifully, does great out and about in the car and in public places, loves her foster siblings, and bonds tightly to her person. She’s been going to training just about every Saturday for months and has developed very nice obedience – she knows her basic commands, and she is great at staying where she’s been put in a sit or a down and won’t move – well except for her tail which is pretty much always wagging! Grace is protective of her space with people she doesn’t know, and needs consistent handling and proper introductions, but once she warms up to someone, Grace’s wonderfully upbeat and happy personality shines right through – with her bushy happy tail “always on!” Please ask to learn more about Grace if you think she might be a good match for your family.
Sawyer
ADOPTED 08/14/2018!
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?
Sawyer came to us an owner surrender. In his previous home he lived with young children, unfortunately one of the children is autistic and he was not treating Sawyer kindly. Sawyer would growl, then get up and move away. This was not fair to Sawyer so the family felt it was best for Sawyer to find a new home where he would be treated kindly. He is a handsome long hair boy, his coat does need some care and a good grooming. His foster mom has been working on getting the matts out and Sawyer will be having a spa day. He has made himself at home in his foster home, he's a very nice boy.
Ballot
ADOPTED 08/13/2018!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 16
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Ballot came to us an owner surrender as his former person took ill and could no longer care for him. He is a large, very handsome, long haired male. His coat is not in the best condition at this time as he did not receive the grooming a long coated dog requires. He will be a having a spa day to remove dirt and matted fur. He is a friendly boy, he does need to learn some good manners which training will help with him,
Updates:Howdy! Ballot checking in. I'm very happy here and my humans love me a lot. We have a lot of fun. I'm learning a lot too....mostly what not to do. I've started making a list of things I'm not supposed to do:
- Steal towels, especially when they are wrapped around a human.
- Get in the shower with my humans.
- Lift the lid on the toilet to get a drink.
- Bite the hand of the person throwing my ball.
- Counter-surf
- Sit on the tables
- Sit on the kids laying on the floor
- Recycling bin inspections.
- Run off with socks and underwear laid out for the kids
- Nibble while giving kisses.
- Run off with and hide shoes.
- Look the humans in the eye while we're both standing
- Lay on the kids while cleaning their faces (this is very hard not to do because they are really squeaky when you do this)
- Pick out my own books from the bookshelves.
- Put both front feet in the water bowl when drinking.
- Open the door myself.
- Grab and eat the fish food containers
Did I mention that I'm pretty? I'm also pretty good at getting in my crate when told, and waiting for the humans to go up and down the stairs first. I'm learning to sit and wait for the humans to go through the door first. I love to play ball and am very good at catching them in the air. They tell me I'm pretty smart and learning quickly, I just have a lot to learn right now. I'm very friendly with all the humans that come in the house and the ones we meet outside too. I don't let my humans get too far away because they like me to keep an eye on them. I love love love the pool and get in it everytime I go outside.
I get fed three times a day and am trying to add a few pounds to help me fill out a bit. My humans comb and condition my hair everyday, it makes me smell awesome and my hair is sooo soft now. I still have a few clumps behind my ears and at the back of my head but we're working on them.
The pool is calling my name so I better get going. Bark at ya laterz,
Ballot
Murphy
ADOPTED 08/12/2018!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 16
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
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.
Updates:Murphy is an interesting high energy pup. He’s likely had very little structure in his life to this point and is in need of a strong willed person or family to help guide his future and provide consistent and strong structure, especially with his indoor manners. He’s easy to leash up and walk, both on long and short leash. He’s loves car rides but seems unfamiliar with exiting or entering the car. He is unfamiliar with stairs but is learning to handle them quickly. He has a very high ball drive and will bring the ball back to his human as long as the ball is thrown again. Murphy loves his humans of all ages and wants to be with them always. He needs some work on his manners and is prone to countertop surfing. He also needs help learning that his crate is a safe place to stay. He takes treats gently and is very treat motivated. He is happy to work with anyone willing to give him a chance, could that be you?
Murphy is a sweet boy who takes time to get to know you. Once he decides you're his friend, you are allowed the honor of bestowing belly rubs! And then come the kisses! He's great on leash, sitting at stops while in heel, knows basic obedience and follows his handler. He's VERY food driven, which is a very handy training tool. He is going to need someone who can commit to the exercise and training he needs to keep his mind and body healthy. He's such a handsome boy, do you think you have room for Murphy in your heart and home?
Shasta
ADOPTED 08/12/2018!

Good With Kids: Older kids, over 12
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Shasta has lived her life in a crate, up to 23 hours a day. Due to this she is under socialized and fearful. She needs an adopter that has experience, has the time and patience to help her to adjust to life outside of a crate. A good training program and commitment from her person is very much needed. She has met other dogs and handled non dominate dogs the best, she ran away from dogs that were trying to dominate her. Due to her fearfulness we will not place her in a home with young children. Shasta is learning to trust our volunteers, but requires a slow approach. She relaxed some when she was introduced to a squeaky toy, she ran and jumped around like a puppy.
Shasta will only meet potential adopters who have experience with GSD's that are not well socialized. Shasta needs a home where she is safe, a quieter home without a lot of commotion. At this time she is a flight risk and will require to be on leash when outside. She will not meet families with children under the age of 12.
Updates:Shasta has made a lot of progress while in our care. She has come out of her shell and has gained confidence, she is no longer fearful. She has become silly, outgoing and playful. She is friendly with people and excited to see our volunteers. Shasta still needs to learn how to properly interact with other dogs. Her overly excited approach when meeting other dogs may not be tolerated by other dogs. She loves the water and her squeaky toy, a pool keeps her quite occupied and provides her humans with entertainment. She has energy to spare, so a family who has the time and energy to work with her both physically and mentally will help keep her energy in check. If you are looking for a laid back dog, Shasta is not for you. If you enjoy running, long walks and lots of playtime Shasta would be a great choice.
Tzar
ADOPTED 08/11/2018!
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?
Tzar came to us as an owner surrender as his human mom recently had surgery that kept her from being able to provide him with any exercise. Wanting what was best for him, she entrusted us to find him a family that could provide him a life he deserves. In his previous home he lived with cats and got along fine. He did well meeting other dogs and children while being walked. He seems to be a well rounded boy with a great disposition. Of course training will help not only Tzar, but his new family learn more about each other and set things up for a lifetime of good manners
Apollo
ADOPTED 08/10/2018!
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?
Apollo cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little boy, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses. Apollo 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, Apollo will become even more of an amazing boy than he already is. Please inquire if Apollo sounds like a good match for your family.
Xena
ADOPTED 08/07/2018!
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?
Xena found herself as a stray sitting in a shelter. She is very sweet, full of kisses and thinks she's a lap dog once she gets to know you. Upon first meeting Xena she is timid and unsure of herself, but given time she relaxes. She seems to be more comfortable with women than she is with men. With the men she has met while in our care she preferred to keep her distance by staying at the end of the leash. Our male volunteers are handling her to help feel more secure with men. She will need a family who can help her build confidence, providing structure, socialization and training will greatly help.
Takoda
ADOPTED 08/05/2018!
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?
Takoda is such a sweet boy, he has a wonderful disposition. He is young and does require training, but with his smarts and wanting to please his people, he will be the rock star of his training class. He has done well with the many dogs of varying sizes he has met, and he has done well meeting children. Prior to arriving in our care he tested positive for heartworm, we will have another test done by our vet to confirm. If Takoda is heartworm positive he will need to undergo heartworm treatment. This is paid for by MAGSR, Heartworm treatment requires that the dog remain calm, no over exertion. This means short leash walks for pottying, no running or jumping and crate rest until the treatment protocol has been completed. If you are considering Takoda please be sure you are committed to seeing him through treatment, following the guidelines without exception.
