Chauncey has been let down by people 3 times in his short life, he is now looking for his forever family that will commit to him for his for lifetime.
He was first in a shelter at 4 weeks old, adopted at 8 weeks old as a cute adorable puppy only to be returned at 7 months old. He was too much to handle and no time was spent on training. He was then adopted again and returned as his family was moving and they were not willing to find a place that allowed dogs. Chauncey didn't deserve to be treated this way, he is not disposable. He is 73 lbs but could stand to lose 5 lbs or so. Nothing that daily exercise, walks and a little less food won't help. He enjoys the outdoors, playing, going for walks and exploring his surroundings. Please, when considering adding a dog to your family that you are able to commit to them for their lifetime. They should be treated as a loving family member.
Updates:Chauncey is crate trained, housebroken, sits and lays down when told, and is easy to walk on a leash. Chauncey loves attention and follows his humans around the house every time they move and is always excited to see them. Chauncey loves playing with his toys, brings them back to his handler and waits for them to be thrown again. Chauncey is a very sweet boy who just wants to love and be loved. He definitely needs a fur-ever home. Ask to meet him today.
Hello, my name is Chauncey. Since I've been with my humans for several weeks, I have learned their routine so I do what I'm supposed to before they tell me. When it's time to go up to my cage, I'm going up the stairs before they know it. When it's time to go to bed I go up the steps with my humans standing guard because the house dog likes to pick on me. I start off at one side of the bed, away from the house dog, then in the middle of the night when the house dog is asleep I sneak over and jump up on the bed and lay next to my human companion. When it's time to go out I love walking my human companions around the block. At meal time I run over to where I get fed and wait for them to come feed me. I sit waiting for them to put the bowl down, drooling. When they tell me it's okay to eat, I chomp out! I also try to fool them and run over there like it's dinner time on the chance they'll feed me again. I like going to the park where I can meet other people and see other dogs that I would like to play with. I like other dog buddies. I like playing with my toys in the house. I really like my rubber bottle and bring it to my humans so they can throw it for me to retrieve. I love jumping my front paws on their lap so they give me attention, and I love all the attention they give me. I love my female human - when she comes home I wag my tail , follow her around and jump up on her with smiles, going a little crazy. I'm looking for a fur-ever home.
My human friend keeps taking me to a store where I get to meet adults and kids. The adults come up and pet me, and the kids come up and pet me, and sometimes I lay down and roll over so they can rub my belly. I really enjoy that, but it wears me out, so I sleep in the car on the way home, then I'm ready to go again. The other day we went to the park. There was a teen age girl and a grandmother I met, and a four year old girl that wanted to pet me rather than the other dog. She kept giving me small sticks to play with, and was having a good time. Then she came up and gave me a big hug around the neck and I really enjoyed that! I really like playing with kids.
Ozzie
ADOPTED 06/30/2018!
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?
Ozzie's former person took ill and was no longer able to care for him. He was brought to the VA area by a family member and is now in our care looking for his forever family. Ozzie is a very big boy at 94 lbs He has undergone formal training but will require further training with his new family. He has not lived with dogs before but did well meeting another German Shepherd during our evaluation. Ozzie does have the tendency to herd (nip at) children, for this reason we feel it is best that he not be placed in a home with young children. A boy of this size can be intimating to small children and he could also accidentally knock them down. For the most past Ozzie's former person exercised Ozzie on daily 2 mile walks and lots of games of fetch. Daily exercise is key to keep energy in check, so please be sure you have the time to commit to his exercise needs, training and of course a lifetime of love and care.
Shrek
ADOPTED 06/30/2018!
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 Shrek was surrendered to us as his former person had no time for him. He was being left in a junk filled backyard. Shrek has a partially missing ear which we were told his mother bit off. It seems that he also has some damage to the tip of his other ear. This in no way takes away from how adorable him, it gives him his own unique look. He is in a foster home enjoying his time living indoors, having a large clean yard to romp around in with the resident dogs. His foster family has started working with him on training and he is learning quickly. It is important that his new family continues with training and keeping him socialized with other people and dogs. This time in his life is critical for this as it provides a great foundation for him to be a well balanced adult.

Harleigh was a stray and taken to a shelter. She is good with other dogs, She is a little shy, but she is just getting to know us. She is a petite girl, but very beautiful and easier to handle then the larger Shepherds.
Updates:Harleigh is settling in nicely at her fosters house. She is getting along great with both of the resident dogs and loves being able to run around and play. Harleigh knows some basic commands like sit, come and leave it and she is working on stay and lie down. She walks nicely on a leash and loves to roll around in the grass.

Manning
ADOPTED 06/23/2018!
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?
Manning made his way to us after sitting in a shelter as a stray. We have no information on him prior to him coming into our care. He is a friendly boy, he enjoys the company of other dogs. He needs sometime to settle in to his new life and get use to all of the changes, but he seems to be taking it all in stride. Manning is now looking for a forever family and a soft bed in his new home.
Updates:Handsome Manning is adjusting to life in a foster home. He doesn’t appear to have much prior training or exposure and some of his behaviors are puppyish. He is eager to learn and please his handler and is food motivated which will make training easier. He crates well and is quiet - only whines softly when he needs to do his business. He will even rest in the crate with the door open when the home is calm. He doesn’t seem to know what toys are or isn’t interested. He’ll fetch a ball for a little while but doesn’t appear to have much ball drive. He gets along well with the resident small and large female dogs. He is a very sweet and friendly boy looking for you to give him a the good life with structure, training, soft beds, treats, walks, time outside and a furever home. Manning is waiting to meet you!
Bolt
ADOPTED 06/23/2018!
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?
Bolt is a high energy young boy who likes sniffing all things outside, chasing balls, chewing rawhide bones, getting belly rubs, going on long walks and car rides. He's housebroken and crate trained and knows some basic obedience commands. Bolt has a lot to learn and is looking for a family who will commit to him for his lifetime, provide him with structure, love, comfort and lots of playtime.
Updates:Update: Hi, I'm Bolt. I'm a young pup with lots of energy. I like sniffing all the things outside, chasing balls, chewing rawhide bones, getting belly rubs, going on long walks and car rides. I'm housebroken, and so far I know the command, "Sit." I have a lot more to learn, but I'm currently being taught a couple more commands.
Jack
ADOPTED 06/22/2018!
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?
Jack came to us with no prior history, so we are getting to know him. He can be a little unsure of new things and people which results him hiding. But once comfortable with his person he becomes a 75 lb. lap dog. He will flourish with training and guidance, this will help him build a bond with his family and relax so that he can enjoy the world around him. He does have a lot of strength and no leash manners, this is something that needs to be worked on. If you are looking for a handsome boy and don't mind a large lap dog to cuddle with then Jack is your boy
Updates:Jack has been settling nicely into his foster home. Although it takes him a few minutes to get comfortable with new people, once adjusted, Jack is a happy-go-lucky guy. Jack thrives with stability and leadership. This intelligent guy has quickly been developing some basic skills. At this time he is learning sit, down, paw, crate, out and heel. With the correct gear, consistency, and some high-value treats, Jack is more than happy to try new things.
Although Jack is learning a lot, he also understands that sometimes you need to take a break and simply enjoy life. Jack loves toys. He will play fetch and happily bound around after a ball or a plush toy. However, if you need to take a break, Jack is very capable of entertaining himself. He tends to end up upside down with a goofy smile across his face. As a typical shepherd, Jack likes to be with his people. He makes an excellent shadow and takes every opportunity to cuddle. Sometimes it seems that he really does think he's a 10lb puppy rather than a 75lb dog.
If you are ready for new adventures, a lot of smiles, and a big companion, Jack is your guy. Please ask to meet him today.
Reuger
ADOPTED 06/18/2018!
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?
Reuger is a young, handsome boy who has been through basic obedience training. It is imperative that he continues training with his new family. Reuger is not good with small dogs and will not be placed in a home with small dogs. In his previous home he had escaped the home through an opened door and an electric fence going after small dogs in the neighborhood. He did live with a cat, getting along fine as long as the cat did not run around. He also lived with a female GSD and was fine with her. Reuger does play rough with other dogs, so another dog in the home must be playful and accepting of rough housing. Reuger also has the tendency to get mouthy with people when he is overly excited. Training, structure and direction can help with these behaviors. Reuger will do best with experienced GSD people, who have the time and knowledge to work with him.
Peggy
ADOPTED 06/16/2018!
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?
Peggy came to us from a shelter where she was a stray so we have no back history on her. She has been friendly and easy to handle since arriving in our care. She of course needs training to help her learn good manners and to learn what is expected of her. Training is also good socialization with other people and dogs, which this breed requires.
