Mack
ADOPTED 12/15/2019!
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?
Big, handsome Mack is a strong boy. He needs to learn leash manners, as a dog of his size can be difficult to handle on a leash. Mack is such a sweet boy. He has been very friendly with our volunteers. He really seems to enjoy going for drives, as when he sees a vehicle door open he wants to jump in. Mack did spend part of his life tied up on a chain, so he probably needs to learn house manners. While at the shelter he did participate in play groups with other dogs.
Updates:Mack has been with us for a while now and we have learned a lot about him. Everyone that comes into contact with Mack at the kennel loves him and his tail wags! He can be so sweet, and everyone he meets is a friend. He loves car rides and is very quiet when traveling. Mack is very smart and is not only learning better leash manners, but is a very willing participant in learning sit, down, and place - as long as you have a toy or treat to reward his efforts. He will play fetch, and is learning to bring the toy back and drop it on command. Mack is a sweet boy, and can be such a big teddy bear, but he also needs an experienced handler who will provide structure, training and consistent handling so he can learn his place in a home environment and does not try to take over. If you think you have what it takes to offer Mack what he needs to thrive, please let us know, we'll set you up with an introduction!
Mack has been with his foster family for a little over a week and has settled in nicely. Mack listens and sometimes he sleeps at his foster's feet. When Mack gets excited, he gets really excited. When Mack's humans head for the door, Mack runs to the door and jumps around, so he has to be calmed down before taking him out. Once Mack knows to listen, he walks nicely. Mack is very active for a four year old, and sometimes he seems more like a two year old. Mack needs a strong hand to keep him in line so that he will be a good canine citizen. Mack likes sleeping in doggy beds and is both housebroken and crate trained. Mack is becoming a dedicated dog to his foster family. If Mack sounds like he could be a good fit for your family, ask to meet him.
Mack's foster reports he is a very sweet boy and dedicated to his humans. Mack loves attention. When Mack's humans are at the dinner table, Mack goes and lays down until dinner is done. Mack is very treat motivated - knows where his treats are kept and will let his humans know when he wants one. In the evenings, Mack wanders upstairs and jumps up on the bed and lays down, until he hears somebody move and then he comes running downstairs to make sure he doesn't miss anything. At night time, Mack sleeps on his doggie bed all night and does great in the crate when he's in it. Mack is recommended for older kids, but very friendly with everyone. Mack lays down for belly rubs, likes to give paws, is good with other dogs, loves to go for car rides, is easy to walk with a human who is in control of him during the walk. Mack is patiently waiting for his fur-ever home - could that home be yours?
Chloe
ADOPTED 12/07/2019!
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?
Chloe came to us a surrender as her former owner did not like that she jumped up on her. This of course can be controlled with training and correcting this at the time. She lived in her prior home with other GSD’s and did well. She has not been around children or cats, so we do not know how she does with them. Chloe is a beautiful coated GSD, with the cutest ears. She has been friendly with our volunteers, but unsettled with the changes in her life. She did undergo a 3 week board and train, but her former owner did not attend training with her. Training is just as much about training the owner as it is the dog. You must learn to work together and create a bond.
Chiquita
ADOPTED 12/07/2019!
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?
Chiquita was surrendered to a shelter due to her former person moving. She is a friendly young girl, enjoys the company of other dogs, and is attentive to her family. She needs to gain some weight, but otherwise looks good. Training of course is required, not only for Chiquita but also for her family.
Johnny
ADOPTED 12/01/2019!
Good With Kids: No
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Johnny came to us from a shelter, we have no history for him. Since arriving in our care, he has been a complete gentleman. A little unsure with his new surroundings at first, but has quickly settled in. Johnny is a kind gentle soul and is very gentle with his handler. He enjoys belly rubs, being with his people, staying by his human's side, and will look to his handler for guidance. Johnny is a wonderful boy and anyone would be lucky to have him.
Updates:
Johnny is starting to settle in with our volunteers but is still lacking confidence and trust; however, as he gets to know the people he decides to trust more, he greets them with kisses and tail wags. Because of Johnny's insecurities, he would learn from a home with a confident dog to help show him the way forward. Johnny would also do best with a handler who has prior GSD experience as well to help build his confidence with training and reinforcement. Keep an eye on Johnny's progress and ask to meet him if your home may be a good fit for him.
Liam
ADOPTED 12/01/2019!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 10
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Liam, along with his siblings Luc and Lieve lived outside without proper care or an adequate amount of food for growing puppies. Thankfully they were brought to our attention and brought into our care. They were underweight, but with proper nutrition they have gained weight. The pups are a mix of Dutch Shepherd (dad) and Belgian Malinois (mom). Both of these breeds are very high energy dogs that require a lot of exercise of both their bodies and minds, along with obedience training, ongoing socialization and direction. It is imperative that you have the time, everyday, to work with them on their training and can meet their exercise needs. We will only consider adopters that have prior experience with working line dogs. 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.
Bellair
ADOPTED 11/27/2019!
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?
Bellair made her way to us from a shelter where she had been surrendered, for reasons unknown. She is new to us, so we are just getting to know her. We know that she prefers the company of male dogs over female dogs. She needs training, consistency and a schedule. Without this she has no idea what her new family expects of her, it is your job to guide and teach her. She is a pretty petite girl, which will make it easier for leash walks.
Updates:We've gotten to know Bellair a bit more since she's been with us. What a pleasure this lady is to work with; it is apparent that she likes to work. She seems to know so many commands but quietly tests out the handler as she works. Once she figures out that you mean business, she handles beautifully. Bellair is clearly food motivated and doesn't require much tension on the leash when a redirect is needed. She corrects quickly and responds nicely when given an activity. She loves balls, and will play fetch, then carry the ball around with her. She has excellent behavior at the vet, she is even good about the thermometer. She is easy to leash up, jumps into the car readily and is a very good car rider. We're also told she's quite cuddly, could you see yourself cuddling with Bellair?
Bellair is enjoying life in her foster home. She has great house manners, is housebroken, and crate trained. She loves, loves, loves squeaky toys, treat-filled kongs and daily walks. She has started group obedience training with her foster mom and is learning that squirrels, rabbits, dogs, and cars don’t need to be chased while walking. Her new family will need to continue training, as Bellair has a high drive and will need a strong leader to help her become a good canine citizen. If Bellair sounds like she coudl be a good fit for your family, ask to meet her - she's a sweet lovable gem.
Tyson
ADOPTED 11/23/2019!
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?
Tyson is another product of someone getting a dog then not having time for him. Yes dogs need your time, your devotion, your commitment to them for their lifetime. It needs to be a well thought out, realistic decision before getting a pet. Tyson is now looking for the family who has thought their decision through and will commit to him for his lifetime. Yes he needs training and daily exercise. Yes he will try your patience at times and get into things he shouldn’t, but this is where his family comes in. He needs to be taught good manners and he needs obedience training, which his family needs to provide. Be sure you have the time and patience for years to come.
Riley
ADOPTED 11/23/2019!
, 
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?
Riley’s prior family gave her up after having her for 6 years as they no longer wanted her. As you can imagine losing her family is upsetting. She just arrived in our care so we are taking the time to get to know her better. Riley is hopeful that her next family will commit to her for her lifetime and not just toss her aside. She is over weight, so a diet and exercise are in order. Her beautiful long coat is matted and dirty but she will be enjoying a spa day.
Bebee
ADOPTED 11/23/2019!
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?
Bebee was surrendered to us as her former person did not have time for her. Due to the lack of time and commitment Bebee was left to do as she wished. A young dog without training, direction, exercise and guidance can find themselves in unsafe situations. Bebee found herself in one those situations when she was hit by car. Luckily she did not sustain serious injuries. She is now in the safety of rescue starting to learn good manners and being properly cared for. Bebee is somewhat nervous meeting new people, but once she is comfortable with you she is a sweetheart. We were told she lived with another dog and cats, and has spent time with a toddler. As she is new to us, we are still learning more about her.
Diesel
ADOPTED 11/17/2019!
Good With Kids: Unknown

This handsome pup has not had the best start in life. He has lived outdoors on a chain, not taught manners, leash skills or training. Thankfully someone got him out of the situation and surrendered him to us. He is one busy boy, he will jump on you, he will mouth you, he will pull you on the leash. But with training, structure and direction he will learn to be well mannered. He is still just a puppy at 8 months old, so expect high energy, playfulness, chewing things and all of the antics that come with having a young dog. You absolutely need the time to provide him with daily exercise and structure, at this age he is no couch potato.
