Ahsoka
ADOPTED 04/01/2018!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 16
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Maren was surrendered to us as her elderly caregivers were moving and could not keep her. She has not had any training or guidance, nor has she been exposed to the world around her. She will need a family who will commit to training to help her build her confidence and of course to learn good canine manners. It is important that Maren has ongoing socialization and is introduced to the sounds, sights and smells of the world. It is her families job to guide her, work with her daily, provide lots of playtime, exercise, love and care.
Updates:Ahsoka, formerly known as Maren, unfortunately has been returned as she was too protective of her home. She did not like when visitors came to the home. This can be managed by putting her away in a secure room and/or crate when people come to the home. She will also benefit greatly from a strong leader who will provide appropriate correction and training. She would do best in a home that does not have frequent visitors and with a family that is willing to put her away when visitors do come. She desperately needs someone who will commit to her to help her learn good manners through a good training program.
Ahsoka is doing beautifully in her foster home. She loves her foster dad, who takes her on bike rides/runs, and she's in love with the resident dogs, especially the male. Ahsoka stays focused on her handler and looks to them for guidance, so as long as the handler is in charge, Ahsoka is a happy and well behaved girl. She doesn't much like things that startle her, but corrects quickly and easily from reacting. Ahsoka will still need to be managed properly to ensure success for her and everyone else involved, which is why Ahsoka will only meet those who have prior experience with the breed. Ahsoka has come a long way - she is a happy and confident girl now and is waiting patiently for that special family to pick her. Is that you?

Good With Kids: Yes

Malakai came to us as an owner surrender. He was much loved by his previous family which included young children and a female GSD. Malakai can be stand offish when he comes to meeting new people, but give him the chance to sniff you and feel comfortable and he will quickly become your best friend. He has leash manners which results in him pulling quite hard when walking. Our volunteers are working with him but his will need to also be addressed by his new family. Training is so very important, it will help Malakai learn what is expected of him, it will help with socialization along with build a bond with his new family. Ask to meet this handsome boy to see if he is a good fit for your family.
Bently
ADOPTED 03/30/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes, older kids
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Bentley is a handsome Shepherd mix. He is a fun dog that enjoys running around and playing. He does have some training, but will require more training with his new family. Training helps both the dog and humans learn more about each other, work better together and creates a bond.
Chip
ADOPTED 03/29/2018!
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Meet Chip! Chip is an older gentleman who found himself on hard times after his former family fell ill and could no longer provide for him. He was surrendered to a local shelter. Luckily, for all involved, we were able to provide a caring home in his hour of need. He is now resting comfortably in the home of a very loving and compassionate care giver. Because of his advanced age, Chip is very arthritic, a little unstable on his feet and requires joint medication. A home with no steps is a must and limited non-slip floors are preferred. Currently, we are trying to take a little excess weight off of him. However, even with limited mobility, he manages to get around. Chip loves going for car rides and bonds very quickly to his favorite people. He is very charming and wants nothing more than to be loved and spend quiet time with his favorite people.
Midnight
ADOPTED 03/25/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Midnight cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little girl, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses. Midnight 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, Midnight will become even more of an amazing girl than she already is. Please inquire if Midnight sounds like a good match for your family.
Updates:Midnight was attacked by a medium sized dog prior to her arrival in our care. She sustained bite wounds to her face and mouth which were sutured. Upon arrival to our care she was seen by our vet who referred her to a dental specialist. Midnight was examined 3/6/18 by the dental specialist and it is found that her upper palate is fractured but is healing well and will continue to heal on its own. Three of her baby teeth were damaged and had to be extracted. X-rays did reveal that her adult teeth buds are present, but until they erupt it is unknown if they have sustained any damage. If they have they may need to be removed. If they do not erupt they may be absorbed or they may need to be removed. Midnight also has a small puncture in her nasal cavity which is causing a snorting sound when she breathes, but it in no way is impeding her breathing and she has very good airflow. She may or may not have the snorting sound for life. The specialist stated she is a young, happy, growing puppy which is beneficial to her healing.
Midnight is doing great in her foster home and has recovered from her dental surgery to remove the puppy teeth damaged by the dog bite. She is making progress on potty training. Midnight is not shy at all and takes any new experience in stride. Midnight corrects easily, is super playful and gets into everything, as all puppies do. She loves the resident cats and wants to play with them and adores the resident dogs. Midnight is an awesome girl. Ask to meet her today.
Abigail
ADOPTED 03/24/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Abigail was surrendered as her elderly family could not manage the energy of a young dog. Abigail is so very sweet and pretty. She does have a lot of puppy energy that will need to be directed by providing her with exercise, playtime, long walks and of course training. A young energetic dog takes a lot of patience and time. Please be sure you have the time and are ready to make a commitment to Abigail for her lifetime.
Fritz
ADOPTED 03/24/2018!
Good With Kids: Unknown
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Fritz found himself in a shelter for reasons unknown. He is now safely in our care waiting patiently to find his forever family. He is a calmer boy with a friendly disposition. He does have some good manners but will require formal obedience training so that he can be the best he can be. Training is so very important, not just for the dog but also for their families.
Updates:Fritz is like a loveable, huggable teddy bear. He's great on walks, especially with other dogs. Fritz loves to hang around where his humans are. He likes his crates and loves to go outside - when his humans head for the door, Fritz runs to the door and gets excited. Fritz can be a little stubborn sometimes, but is still a very good boy. Fritz loves attention, and he's a very calm, laid back dog. If Fritz sounds like a good fit for your family, ask to meet him soon.
Josie
ADOPTED 03/24/2018!
Good With Kids: Unknown
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Josie along with her sister were surrendered to us as their human dad is in hospice care. He loves his girls very much and wants them to have a wonderful life. Josie is understandably quite confused with the recent changes, but will adjust with time. Josie was examined by our vet and found to be what he believes may be cataracts. She will be seen by an eye specialists and receive proper care. Please consider Josie, a family of her own will certainly help her move forward and settle in.
Updates:Josie had surgery for her cataracts and is doing fantastic post-op. She had her first followup appointment and her pressures and eye function is looking great. Josie is learning to navigate better and her anxiety level has lessened now that she can see. Josie does well in a crate and is getting along great with the resident female dog and could care less about the resident rabbit. If Josie sounds like a good fit for your family, please ask to meet her.
Kimba
ADOPTED 03/23/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Kimba was surrendered to us as her previous family stated she had too much energy and shed too much. She lived in her previous home with smaller dogs and did well. She has not been around children or cats so we do not know if she is good with them. She is a friendly girl and oh so beautiful. She will need a family that is willing to exercise and play with her, this will help her burn some energy. Of course training is necessary.
Traeger
ADOPTED 03/17/2018!
Good With Kids: Unknown
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Traeger was surrendered to a shelter and needed out quickly due to lack of space. MAGSR responded to the plea to help Traeger who is very frightened and confused at this time. His previous family stated he was great with cats, but we have not tested him. He did well with the dogs he met and played with at the shelter. His previous family also stated that he can be protective of his person when walking on the street. This will need to be addressed with training, helping him build confidence and having a strong, experienced handler.
