Cider
ADOPTED 02/06/2018!
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?
Cider was surrendered to us as his former person had allergies. His family reports that he is good with other dogs, children and cats. He is currently in a foster home living with other dogs and children, the foster does not have cats. He is a friendly boy and seems to have adjusted to his move quite well.
Misty
ADOPTED 02/03/2018!
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?
Misty was surrendered as she was not getting along with the small dogs in the home. She has also never been around children so we do not know how she would be with little ones. She is all puppy, chewing things she shouldn't (dog beds are her favorite thing to chew), still needs to learn obedience and manners, has potty accidents, needs out in the middle of the night and oh that energy...what fun. A good training program, along with guidance and structure will help her become a well behaved girl. Please be sure you are in the position to commit to her for her lifetime.
Brio
ADOPTED 02/02/2018!
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?
Brio came to us from a shelter. There is some confusion with regards to his age, his records have him as 2 years old, but many feel he is much younger. He still has many puppy mannerisms and looks like a puppy still. He has a lot of energy that will need to be dealt with by providing plenty of exercise and playtime. At this time he has no manners but this is something he is working on. He has no leash skills and jumps up on people to greet them. He is a friendly, goofy, happy go lucky boy. Training will go along way in helping him learn all that he needs to knows.
Updates:
Brio has adjusted marvelously to his new foster home. He has been consistently going to the bathroom outside and is learning to go to the door to go out. He plays well with the resident dog. The resident children love Brio and he is very gentle with the 8 year old, frequently rolling over for belly rubs and playing tug of war. Brio is energetic and requires a lot of physical activity. When he is kept busy he rarely jumps and after a little while walking on a leash will walk right by your side. Brio loves to play fetch and even brings the ball back. He sleeps in his crate at night without whining or barking. He sometimes barks while in the crate during the day because he wants to join in the activities in the house. If you are looking for a dog to play with and be active with Brio is your ideal dog. Ask to meet Brio today.
Nikia
ADOPTED 02/01/2018!
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?
Nikia was found as a stray and ended up in a shelter. She is a beautiful, well behaved older girl, past the antics of a younger dog. She would be happy hanging with her family, going for strolls and being loved.
Updates:Nikia is settling in great to her foster home. Her foster parents report that Nikia is a delighful dog. She loves to ride in the car and just look out the window. She walks beautifully on a leash with minimal correction ("back") to keep her from walking out front and pulling. Nikia doesn't lunge or bark at people, other dogs, or anything else - just perks her ears up and shows interest but stays quietly by handler's side. Nikia is calm around small children - she perks perked up her ears and sits nicely to watch. Nikia loves tennis balls and tends to hoard them, so attention to taking those away when not supervised is necessary. Nikia likes bully sticks too. Nikia will only play with a toy if it is specifically given to her for play. Nikia stays off the furniture unless given permission. Nikia follows her humans around the house. If Nikia sounds like a good fit for your family, ask to meet her today.
Nikia's playful nature is coming out now that she is getting more secure in her environment. She loves to ride in the car and go for walks and loves to play.
She knows some basic obedience commands and is quite food motivated.
Crate trained. Goes right into the crate to eat and when she wants some down time. She waits patiently by the front door and pants or softly whines when she needs to go out to relieve herself.
She comes when called when she is off leash. She is very social and friendly but never jumps up on people. When she is really excited she does these little leaps in the air but not onto anyone or anything, just leaps a little bit in her own space.
She is very teachable. Has already learned "back" when I want her to get behind me so I can go out the door first.
Knox
ADOPTED 01/28/2018!
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?
Knox made his way to us from a shelter where he was a stray. He is new to us so we are still learning more about him. He is in a loving foster home enjoying the comforts of a home along with guidance and structure. Watch for updates.
Chase
ADOPTED 01/25/2018!
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?
Chases person loves him very much but sadly was not able to care for him. Wanting him to find the best possible home she surrendered him to our care. He is very much a puppy and will chew on things he shouldn't, he is full of puppy energy and antics and needs to learn good canine manners. Training is of course necessary and required, it will not only teach Chase good manners, but also helps build bond with his new family. Puppies are a lot of work and take time and patience. Please be sure you are able to commit to Chase and his needs for his lifetime.
Ozzie
ADOPTED 01/21/2018!
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.
Arko
ADOPTED 01/21/2018!
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?
Arko was surrendered as his person has a disability that kept her from providing him with proper exercise. He is a high energy boy who loves to play fetch and requires daily exercise to keep his energy in check. He is a friendly boy that enjoys spending time with his family and he is good with other dogs. He has had some training, but will require further training with his new family. When he gets overly excited he can become mouthy, not applying pressure or biting, but for this reason we feel it's best he not be in a home with a younger children.
Hank
ADOPTED 01/21/2018!
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?
Hank came to us from a shelter where he was ended up for going after chickens and goats, so a home without livestock is best for Hank. He is a friendly boy and good with children. He also gets along well with other dogs. Hank is in a foster home enjoying a warm comfy bed, exercise and of course lots of love and care.
Updates:Hank is a wonderful dog and very friendly and laid back. Sadly, sweet Hank tested heartworm positive when seen by a MAGSR vet. He obviously was not kept on monthly Heartworm Preventatives which would have protected him. MAGSR will make sure Hank gets the treatment he needs to rid his body of Heartworms so that he may enjoy many more years of life. Treatment is expensive but Hank is certainly worth the cost. Donations towards his treatment would be greatly appreciated – this would also help us save other dogs with medical needs.
Bella
ADOPTED 01/20/2018!
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?
Bella's owners could not care for her appropriately and she spent most of her young life in a crate but all that has changed now that she is in the rescue living with a foster. She is a puppy in every sense of the way in that she has boundless energy and is very inquisitive. She loves to cuddle, give puppy kisses, and play with squeaky toys. She will need work on her leash manners but she corrects easily and wants to please. She is very much a lap dog and just wants to be close to her people at all times. Bella gets along with dogs and kids and is just the happiest girl when given love and attention. She enjoys car rides so long as she can look out the window : ) Bella is ready find her forever home, could that be you?
