Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Zeena
ADOPTED 01/17/2021!
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 Zeena's family loved her dearly. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, they were no longer able to care for her. As a result, they made the difficult decision to surrender her. Although this was not an easy decision, it was done in Zeena's best interest.
Zeena is a gentle a loving dog. She has been raised with cats and dogs of various sizes and done well. Having previously lived in a household, Zeena understands many of the household rules already but will likely need a refresher on the specific rules of her new household. Zeena is looking for a forever family that will provide for her throughout her golden years. If Zeena sounds like a match for your family, please ask to meet her today.
Updates:Zeena is settling in the rhythms of her foster home. She already has many qualities of a trained, balanced dog. First off, she is housebroken and crate-trained. She goes right into a sit to wait for instructions, permissions, food, etc. She looks forward to her walks and heals beautifully—except if a feral cat looks too interesting! She doesn’t jump up (including on furniture), doesn’t counter surf (or she hasn’t seen the opportunity ), no door dashing, and rarely barks. She seems to enjoy attention but doesn’t get “in your face”.
Zeena is recovering nicely from her ear infections and skin allergies. Her soft coat and clear eyes invite kisses and hugs that she tolerates well with maybe even a little kiss in return.
Though she is new to us, she has remained calm despite the holiday craziness, and welcomed whoever she met.
Gisela
ADOPTED 01/17/2021!
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?
Gisela's family loved her dearly. However, due to an unexpected change in circumstances, they were no longer able to care for her. Recognizing that it was in Gisela's best interest to find her a new home, they surrendered her to MAGSR. We promised we would find Gisela a loving forever home.
Gisela is a friendly and playful girl. She is a huge fan of the ball and could play for hours if given the opportunity. As is true of many dogs, Gisela will out the ball but prefers to switch with you instead. In addition to being toy motivated, Gisela is also treat motivated; this will make training a joy. Gisela is an active girl who will do well with a family who can exercise both her body and her mind. If this active girl sounds like a good match for your household, please ask to meet her today.
Ernie
ADOPTED 01/17/2021!
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 Ernie was found wandering around in an unsafe area. Fortunately, some kind people found him and brought him to the safe location where he waited for a family to come and claim him. When no one came for Ernie, he was welcomed into the MAGSR family with the promise that we would find him a loving forever home. Ernie is as sweet as they come. He is friendly with both people and dogs. In many ways Ernie is a blank slate who is ready to move forward with his new family. Like all dogs, Ernie will benefit from training as it will not only help him integrate into his new family, but it will also help him become a good canine citizen. Ernie is looking for a forever family that will commit to him for a lifetime. If Ernie sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today.
Updates:Ernie is a sweet and gentle dog. He is good with the resident dogs in the foster's home and really wants to play but due to just being neutered he isn't allowed. He is housebroken and crate trained. Ernie loves to go to the doggie toy box to get toys out, bones are his favorite. Ernie has picked up one or two things that are not toys and responds when you say drop it. He is a big puppy that loves attention and he wants to please his human. He is going to make someone a great family dog.
Linus
ADOPTED 01/16/2021!
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 Linus has been passed around a few times over his short line. His most recent household decided they no longer wanted him and the easiest solution was to end his life. Fortunately, another rescue found out about Linus' fate and was able to save him before it was too late. Recognizing they could not provide Linus with the options he deserved, he was transferred to MAGSR to find a loving forever home.
Although Linus has lacked the love and kindness he deserved prior to his rescue placement, he has remained a sweet and affectionate boy. Linus enjoys the company of people and is a big fan of kids. He is already a big guy and he will continue to grow over the next several months. Linus will do well in a household where he is provided with the patience, guidance, and leadership that all shepherds crave. If Linus sounds like a good match for your household, ask to meet him today.
Walker
ADOPTED 01/14/2021!
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?
Walker was purchased from a breeder with the intent to use him for breeding. However, his owner discovered how much work breeding and raising GSDs can be and decided that this wasn't going to work out. With this change of heart, Walker's owner decided she no longer wanted him and surrendered him to a shelter.
Walker, like most young GSDs, is a playful and energetic guy. He is friendly and affectionate with people and has been doing well with other dogs. However, he still has a lot to learn about being a good canine citizen. Walker is a big guy who will benefit greatly from routine and structure. He will excel in training and it will help him not only learn expectations but it will also help him bond with his new family. If Walker sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today.
Finn
ADOPTED 01/07/2021!
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 Finn was pick-up as a stray and brought to another rescue. They took care of this sweet guy while waiting to see if his owner would claim him. Unfortunately, no one came for Finn. Recognizing that Finn would have his best chance at finding a forever home in a different region, the rescue transferred Finn to MAGSR. Finn is a sweet but timid guy. He will need guidance and leadership in order to help him build confidence with new places and people. Training will go a long way for Finn as it will not only help him further build his confidence, but it will also help him bond with his new family. If Finn sounds like the right match for your household, please ask to meet him today!
Rollo
ADOPTED 01/06/2021!
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?
Rollo was clearly a well-loved member of his family. However, when their circumstances changed, Rollo was surrendered to a local shelter. Rollo is a friendly guy. Easy on leash and social with his people, Rollo loves attention and affection. Although Rollo is comfortable with people, he has not had a lot of experience with other dogs and does need to develop his confidence in this area. Rollo will need time to adjust to other dogs and proper introductions are a must. As Rollo has previously lived in a household, he is likely aware of general household rules. However, like any new dog, it will take him some time to adjust to his new family. Training will go a long way to help Rollo with this transition as it will not only help him bond with his new family but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen. If Rollo sounds like a good match for your household, ask to meet him today.
Rollo is doing wonderfully and has integrated nicely into his foster family. He is warm, friendly and knows and follows basic commands. He loves getting love and attention, he is a snuggle bug.
He had a nice Christmas and enjoyed a special chew bone along with the resident German Shepherd dogs Vader and Nala during dinner. He also shared some treats with them Christmas morning they received in their stockings. He loves going on walks and being out in the yard.
Olaf
ADOPTED 01/04/2021!
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?
Sweet Olaf was confiscated from his family as they were not properly caring for him. He waited patiently at a shelter till he could be released to a rescue for placement. When that day came, we were all too happy to welcome this friendly guy to the MAGSR family.
Olaf is an affectionate and playful guy. He is social and enjoys the company of other dogs. As a lover of warm hugs, Olaf believes that everyone wants to be his buddy. Only about a year old, Olaf still has a lot to learn about becoming a good canine citizen. However, with training, patience, and leadership, we are sure he will succeed. If Olaf sounds like a good match for your family, please ask to meet him today.
Rogue
ADOPTED 01/01/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes, older kids
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Rogue was surrendered to a shelter when his family realized the demands of a guardian breed. As a working line, energetic pup, Rogue is best suited for a household that will provide him with structure and leadership. Both toy and treat motivated, Rogue is a fast learner and is picking up commands quickly. He will be an absolute joy to train with as he is driven, motivated and intelligent. Already very accustomed to playing with toys, Rogue is always ready to play.
Although Rogue is an intelligent and driven dog, please remember that puppies are a lot of work and will require a lot of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy antics and can be mischievous - they will whine, bark, have accidents, get into things, and chew on inappropriate things. With time, patience, guidance and training, Rogue will develop into the good canine citizen he is destined to become.
Kabona
ADOPTED 01/01/2021!
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?
Lovely Kabona was confiscated from her owner after being left outside to fend for herself. The shelter that took Kabona in recognized that she was undersocialized and would need some extra support in order to move forward. When they reached out to MAGSR, we knew we needed to step in.
Kabona is a lovely, young girl who thrives with consistency and structure. Due to the lack of opportunities provided to her prior to her arrival at MAGSR, she has a lot to learn about living in a loving household. However, she has already begun to make significant strides. Kabona is a big fan of treats and toys. In fact, she thinks she should have all the toys at once. I mean who could blame her. The more toys you put in one spot, the more fun you can have. In just a week, Kabona has made significant progress crate training and house breaking. She is clearly an intelligent girl. Although Kabona is showing us that in the right circumstances she will thrive, it is important that her forever family recognize that Kabona will need slow introductions to new people and situations. This will give her the opportunity to adjust to her surroundings and meet with success. Kabona will benefit greatly from training as this will help her further develop her overall confidence; it will also help her bond with her new family. Kabona is patiently waiting for her forever home. Are you the right match for her?
