Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Chase landed in a shelter when his family moved and could not take him with them.  He is a young bubbly happy puppy that requires training, guidance and structure.   He lived harmoniously with children , cats, and regularly played with other dogs at the dog park.

Rambo came to us as owner surrender as his former person was not able to continue to care for him. Rambo is a friendly boy, although he is unsettled with the recent changes in his life. He needs time to adjust to all of the changes. He can be mouthy when things he shouldn't have are taken away from him. Training, of course, will help him learn manners, work on any unwanted behaviors and help him settle into life with a new family. He lived with a cat in his previous home and we are told he did fine. He is currently in a foster home being given time to adjust to losing his home and family. His foster will provide an update soon.

One of the largest puppy mill busts found hundreds of German Shepherd's living in absolute filth and in horrendous condition.  Ankle deep mud and feces mixed with urine, no adequate shelter, lacking food and clean water is how these dogs were left to live, many for years.  The urgent call was made and MAGSR knew we had to take in as many as possible.  We now have 38 dogs that have a multitude of medical needs that we are addressing, and they need to learn to trust humans.  All dogs are scared, some are shut down, but our volunteers and vets will get them on their road to recovery.  It will be awhile before these dogs are ready for adoption, so please be patient and watch for updates. 

An undertaking of this size for an all-volunteer rescue is quite a task, but one we are meeting it head on.  Many of the dogs require medical boarding so that they can receive the best possible care.  We are committed to providing everything they need, not only medically, but emotionally.  Our medical costs are going to be at an amount we have never seen before.  We need your help, the dogs need your help.  Please donate, your donation will go towards their ongoing care, medical needs, emotional needs and help them on their road to recovery and a brighter future.

Acton was a stray to a shelter, so we have no prior history.  During his time with us he has been friendly with our volunteers and did well with dog introductions.  Training is imperative with all dogs that are adopted from us, they  need to learn manners and become accustomed to their home and family life.

Melina came to us from a not so good situation.  She was used as a breeding dog, she was not provided with proper care or adequate living conditions.  Thankfully after complaints and an investigation she, along with other dogs were confiscated.  Melina is now in our care where she is looking for a family that will provide her with a loving and warm home, where she means more to her family than just a puppy machine. Melina is shy and somewhat skittish of humans, but you can see just how much she wants to be loved on by humans.  She's a dog's dog and seems will need canine companionship to thrive as she comes out her shell with other dogs.  A dog to play with in the home would be the best match for her.   She of course will need a patient family that will show her being a part of a caring family is a wonderful thing.  Please ask about Melina, give her what she has never experienced before...a loving family, a soft bed, a warm home, guidance and structure.  She's waiting for you.

Lilly was on the run for sometime, but was finally caught and brought into a rescue.  Wanting Lilly to have the best chance at finding a home it was decided she would be better served by a GSD rescue.  Lilly is friendly, but a little unsettled, which is to be expected.  She is being given time to settle in, watch for updates.

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.  

Liesl's family surrendered her as their busy lifestyle kept them from providing her with proper exercise and attention.  She lived in a home with 3 young children and did well with them.  Liesl will bark at other dogs when she is on a leash, but does well with them off leash.  This of course can be worked with through training.  Training, along with structure will go a long way in teaching Liesl good canine manners.  It also helps build a bond with her new family.  Liesl can be somewhat wary when meeting new people, this also can be addressed with training and socialization.
