Tank was taken to the vet to be euthanized because he helped himself to some livestock.  Thankfully the vet would not kill such a young and friendly boy, instead she contacted us.  Tank is good with other dogs, but will not do well with livestock, chickens or goats especially.  Of course he requires training to teach good K9 manners and to learn to work with his new family.  Time is needed by his family to help him settle in, learn the rules and to adjust to a new schedule.  Tank has had his stomach tacked, this greatly reduces his chances of bloat.  He will require daily exercise, walks, lots of love and attention for the rest of his life.  He rides well in the vehicle, he enjoys looking out the window and getting a few head rubs.  Please be certain you have what it takes for an energetic GSD and are committed for his lifetime.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bailey was surrendered as her family had no time for her and it shows in her lack training and manners. She is such a beautiful, friendly girl that just needs a family to teach her good canine manners. A good training program will teach her jumping up is not acceptable and will also help with her leash skills. Given the opportunity, Bailey will crawl up into her human's lap for loving - she's very sweet. Bailey has some energy to burn that ong walks and a good a game of fetch will help with. Exercising both the body and brain will be very beneficial for her.

Luc, along with his siblings Liam 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. Luc is the runt of the litter, he is missing the tip of one of his ears, we do not know what happened. 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.

One of the largest puppy mill busts found hundreds of German Shepherd's living in absolute filth and in horrendous condition.  Ankle deep mud and feces mixed with urine, no adequate shelter, lacking food and clean water is how these dogs were left to live, many for years.  The urgent call was made and MAGSR knew we had to take in as many as possible.  We now have 38 dogs that have a multitude of medical needs that we are addressing, and they need to learn to trust humans.  All dogs are scared, some are shut down, but our volunteers and vets will get them on their road to recovery.  It will be awhile before these dogs are ready for adoption, so please be patient and watch for updates. 

An undertaking of this size for an all-volunteer rescue is quite a task, but one we are meeting it head on.  Many of the dogs require medical boarding so that they can receive the best possible care.  We are committed to providing everything they need, not only medically, but emotionally.  Our medical costs are going to be at an amount we have never seen before.  We need your help, the dogs need your help.  Please donate , your donation will go towards their ongoing care, medical needs, emotional needs and help them on their road to recovery and a brighter future.

Riana came to us after being confiscated in a cruelty case. Another dog in the home was seen being beaten with a metal baton and the police were called. We do not know if Riana was abused, but she does have recently fractured teeth and had a cut under her eye. She is undergoing a complete exam by one of our vets and will have the fractured teeth extracted if necessary.  

She has been in a foster home for a few days now and she settled right in. She is a happy, friendly girl who enjoys the company of other dogs. Riana deserves a family that will treat her with kindness, provide her with love, structure and proper care.
