DESCRIPTION:

Chet was picked up as a stray in MD.  He waited at the shelter for his family but no one came to claim him. Chet has put that sad life behind him and is now ready for his forever family- one who will never abandon him.

Updates:

Chet is understandably confused after being returned due to no fault of his own.  Chet is a nice dog, pretty easy to handle and corrects pretty easily. Chet appears to be responsive and eager to please.  If Chet sounds like he could be a good match for your family, please ask to meet him.

Chet has fun with his girlfriends

Chet is a complete sweetie! He loves all people and getting belly rubs. Chet is a big, strong boy who has greatly improved his leash manners and knows that it is not appropriate to pull on the leash when he walked.  Chet absolutely loves going for walks!  He is currently learning how to act properly when we come across other dogs on walks by not pulling and barking.  Chet loves being the only dog in his foster home and would prefer to keep it that way when adopted. He seems to really enjoy time out on the deck just siting and people watching.  He is crate trained during the day and gets free roam of the house at night when he sleeps.  He has excellent house manners and makes no attempt to get into anything that he shouldn't.  If Chet sounds like the perfect pup for your family, ask to meet him now.

Foxy

ADOPTED 06/24/2017!

Foxy
FoxyFoxyFoxyFoxyFoxyFoxyFoxyFoxyFoxyFoxyFoxyFoxyFoxyFoxy
Gender: Female
Breed: German Shepherd Dog
Approximate Age: 12 years 5 months
Color: Black & Tan
Current Size: --
Housebroken: Yes
Obedience Trained: Basic Commands
Altered: Yes

Good With Kids: Yes
Good With Cats: Unknown
Other Dogs OK: Some, with proper introduction
DESCRIPTION:

Foxy landed herself in a shelter after her family would not care for her or comply with animal control.  She waited at the Animal Shelter for a month, hoping her former owners would fix their fence and bring her home, but they never did. Foxy is an energetic friendly little girl whose enthusiasm for walks and play makes her seem much younger than five. Sweet Foxy is ready for a forever home that will give her lots of walks and belly rubs. Foxy needs a patient owner as she is understandably anxious and will need someone to set calm boundaries for her, her while she settles into home life again.

Foxy loves meeting new people. She has been wonderful with children and responded to a child stepping on her paw by crying and showing her belly. She was clearly housebroken, but after such a long time in a kennel she should stay on a leash or crate inside, until she develops a routine of going outside. Foxy knows basic commands and rides nicely in a car. She is working on not pulling on a leash, but is not too hard to walk because she pays attention her handler.  Foxy is pushy, barky, and very forward with other dogs. She is very frightened if a dog approached her while she is crated. Foxy will need to work on socialization with dogs as she greets other dogs by jumping on them. Foxy could live with another dog who does not want to dominate her and enjoys energetic play. Taking her to obedience class outside would be ideal, so she can learn to listen around other dogs, while having some space. Foxy is good in her foster house. She hasn’t chewed anything inappropriate and doesn’t mess with food on the counter or bother the trash. She is learning to stay off the couch and would certainly try to join her new owner in bed for a cuddle, if not instructed otherwise.

Foxy would be a great fit for someone who lives in an urban/suburban setting. She would be fine in an apartment. Foxy needs to be on a leash at all times outside; she has jumped a four-foot fence, for fun, and is clearly willing to dig a tunnel if bored.  Foxy is going to be someone’s shadow and very best friend.  If Foxy sounds like a good fit for your family, please ask to meet her.

Updates:

Foxy has been in her foster home for a month now and loves being a pet, who lives indoors with her family and not left alone in the yard. Although she has a prior history of running, it seems likely that she was running away because she was bored and lonely. She does not try to rush out of doors or escape from the car. she is very committed to being with her family at all times. her only attempts to get out of the house have been to jump in the car and make sure that she's not left behind on the trip.  Foxy is very agile and smart. She demonstrates good sensibilities about barking at strangers on the property, but not at every single person who passes the house on the sidewalk.  


Foxy absolutely adores children and has happily attended all sorts of sporting events and made lots of friends. She enjoys getting baths and has a remarkable amount of energy for a five-year-old dog. Foxy had recurrent ear infections in her prior life, which caused scar tissue buildup in one of her ears. She requires a weekly ear cleaning, which can be done at home with an affordable medication. She loves having her ears cleaned and every other imaginable kind of touching.  

 

She's getting along great with the resident dog, who is a super laid-back male. But she needs training to learn to not bark at other dogs. In just a month she reliably comes when she is called, sits when told to, and will drop something on command – unless it's a slice of pizza.  If you love pizza; have always wanted a stalker who sits and pants, just outside of the bathroom door; and enjoy dogs in Halloween costumes Foxy is your girl.

Updates:

Prior to coming to MAGSR, Maya endured a trama to her back left leg which resulted in a torn ACL. As a result, Maya underwent a TPLO, or tibial-plateau-leveling osteotomy, in early July. Maya came through the surgery well and has been an amazing patient throughout the recovery process. At this time, Maya is participating in weekly physical therapy appointments where she regularly draws a crowd due to her fun-loving personality and beautiful face. Although Maya is not yet ready to be running around chasing a ball or playing with her foster siblings, she is looking for a forever home. As a young, energetic girl, Maya is looking for a family that will help her finish up her recovery, as well as, provide her with a the love, exercise, and training that all dogs need to become good canine citizens. If Maya sounds like a good match for you family, please ask to meet her today. 

As Maya's care has been both important and expensive, donations towards her treatment would be greatly appreciated. These donations help us offset costs so that we can save other dogs with medical needs.

Updates:

Khloe has been in her foster home for a week now and is settling in nicely and starting to build up her confidence.  Khloe is very smart and she's picking up obedience commands quickly, but she's still working on her focus because she can be easily distracted by her surroundings.  If Khloe sounds like a dog that may work well in your family, please ask to meet her.

Good With Cats: No
Other Dogs OK: No
DESCRIPTION:

April's life is forever changed, thanks to those who saved her from horrid and unsafe living conditions.  It is amazing that with all that April has endured she is so incredibly sweet and wants to be loved and properly cared for.  April deserves a family who will provide a wonderful life for her, one full of love and a commitment for her lifetime.  

Updates:

Lovely April is a remarkable girl. Like many pups before her, April seems to know she has been rescued and will never be subjected to the horrible conditions from which she survived. She enjoys the company of everyone she meets and seems grateful to anyone who notices her. April tends to take most things in stride. Having to learn the ins and outs of a new home can be unnerving; however, April seems excited to have the opportunity to enjoy the good life. She has discovered the joy of a good bone, soft bed, and plenty of toys. Living with other dogs, April is slowly learning the ins and outs of pack life. We are very impressed with her playful nature. April is goofy yet affectionate. She will happily sit for as long as you'll allow while you rub her beautiful ears. If this amazingly girl sounds like a match for your family, please inquire about her today.

I have spent some time with April the last two Saturdays. Her behavior has been great both days.  Yesterday she patiently sat in her "run" while I leashed her up, even though another dog had been brought into the kennel area and they were all barking about it.  She is eager to please and knows quite a few commands, sit, down, an elementary stay, and come. It has been easy to get her attention. She takes treats gently, loves to have her ears rubbed and can be a leaner.  She has also been fine about other dogs being in her general area while we are out and about in the field. We are working on leash walking, she wants to pull ahead a bit, but no lunging. She is content to walk, work on commands, be brushed or just chill out by the picnic table.

DESCRIPTION:

Sebastian found himself in a shelter hoping someone would give him the chance at a second life.  He was heartworm positive but has undergone treatment.  He is somewhat unsettled with all of the changes in his life, but with time he will settle in.  

Updates:

Sebastian warms up to people quickly, he follows you wherever you go, and lays down near you, and craves attention all the time. He does have separation issues, needs a secure crate until he gets over his separation issues. He is housebroken, does know basic commands but needs more training. He seems good around kids. He does interact well with other dogs. At night time, if you're around, he does go into his crate and stays there all night with no issues.

Sebastian has settled in nicely to the household routine.  He is a sweet, easy-going, well-behaved dog.  He enjoys a game of fetch as well as just chilling out close to his favorite human.  He welcomes attention and cuddles, and does not like getting left behind.  He knows basic commands but could use some reinforcement.  He walks well on a leash, will pull when excited but correct easily.  He is anxious to make friends with every dog and human he meets.  He will make a great companion for someone who has the time to give him.

Good With Kids: Yes
Good With Cats: Unknown
Other Dogs OK: Yes
DESCRIPTION:

Sweet Karma came to MAGSR underweight and from a very sad situation.  Karma previously lived in a hoarding situation with 14 other dogs.  Karma was underfed and used for breeding.  Because of all that Karma has endured, she is confused and just needs to learn to trust and know she'll be well taken care of.  Now that MAGSR has Karma, we hope she will quickly adjust and learn that she will receive regular meals, attention, and proper socialization. If Karma sounds like the right dog for your household, please ask about her today.

Care for these hoarding rescues is putting a severe strain on MAGSR's resources. Donations towards their treatment would be greatly appreciated, this would also help us save other dogs with medical needs.

Updates:

Sadly, sweet Karma tested heartworm positive when seen by a MAGSR vet, she obviously was not kept on monthly Heartworm Preventatives which would have protected her.  She is currently undergoing heartworm treatment to rid her body of Heartworms so that she may enjoy many more years of life.  Treatment is expensive but Karma is certainly worth the cost. 

Donations towards her treatment would be greatly appreciated, this would also help us save other dogs with medical needs

Karma has settled in nicely to her foster home and is enjoying her new life while she awaits her forever home.  She enjoys hanging out with her foster brothers and sisters, getting out for her short walks, and giving lots of kisses and tail wags to whomever she can reach.  Karma has a sweet and playful personality that gets along with kids and other dogs. 

Also, Karma’s heartworm treatment is going well.  Treatment is relatively easy to do, it just takes a few months. It requires an oral antibiotic with her meals for the first month, and three injections over the course of last two months.  After receiving the injections, she is put on crate restriction to limit activity and help her recovery.  This crate restriction is actually a great time to adopt the dog, as it allows the dog to get used to their new home in a calm environment and to slowly introduce freedom in the house.  Karma is available for adoption while she’s receiving treatment, so if you’re interested in meeting this sweet girl, contact your adoption coordinator today!

Sweet Karma was returned to MAGSR through no fault of her own - her family was not able to keep her.  Karma is finishing up her heartworm treatment and she has been wonderful through it during her crate restriction.  Karma is very anxious to be adopted by a family who will commit to her for her life and to start her life heartworm free.  If snuggles and kisses sound like something you're looking for, then Karma may be a good fit for your family, so please ask to meet her now.

DESCRIPTION:

Kaz, Kylene, and Kyrie are siblings. All three dogs were turned into a shelter. All  are very nice dogs. Kaz is pretty laid back and walks pretty well on a leash. He does enjoy the company of his sisters during his walk. Kaz would be a great companion dog for any family.

Updates:

My foster mom tells me I am a gentle giant and a wise soul. When you look into my eyes you immediately feel a deep connection with me. I maybe 6 years old but I still have a spring in my step and will be bounding around when I greet you at the door. If foster mom is not quick enough to get me leashed up to go outside I will let her know I am excited with a few playful barks. I am not fond of toys but will enjoy a marrow bone till it is thoroughly licked clean. I love my sister Kylene so much I will let her steal my bones when I am not looking.  Foster mom says I am the most gentle and easy going dog she has had the pleasure to foster. One of my favorite things to do is roll on my back and shimmy myself around either in the grass or on the carpet. I will flop myself on my back just to get some belly rubs. I sleep peacefully on my 42 inch orthopedic bed and would enjoy nothing more than to have someone to spend the rest of my life with.

Unfortunately Kaz was returned to MAGSR after two years because his owners could no longer care for him.  Kaz is having some difficulty getting up and down stairs and will be seen by a MAGSR vet to see if there is any relief that can be provided to this sweet boy. Otherwise, Kaz is the epitome of the gentlest giant and gets along with kids, dogs and cats of all sizes and ages.  In his previous home, Kaz would let the kitty snuggle up next to him for warmth and security.  Kaz is a very easy going boy that just wants somewhere soft to lay his head.  He is housebroken and can be trusted to free roam the house.  Kaz will follow his human where ever they go even if that means he has to scale the steps to get there. His favorite past time is lounging in sun and rolling on his back for belly rubs. He enjoys sleeping on his back with all 4 paws in the air.  Kaz loves car rides and thrives on attention and affection from everyone around him.  If you would like to meet a sweet senior, please ask to meet Kaz!

Good With Kids: Yes
Good With Cats: Yes
Other Dogs OK: Yes
DESCRIPTION:

Mica has not had a good life up to this point.  She spent all of her time in a crate, most likely having never been outside.  She has no idea what a leash is which can make her uneasy.  She enjoys human companionship but can become overwhelmed.  Mica is a blank slate, she has so much to learn about people and the world.  She will need someone with patience to help her build her confidence and to introduce her to the world.  She is underweight but with regular, nutritious meals she will be in tiptop shape in no time.  Mica deserves the chance to know love,  proper care and to just be a puppy....won't  you give her that?

Updates:

Mica was seen by a specialist as we noticed one of her hips was protruding.  Sadly, Mica sustained trauma prior to coming into our care and the hip did not heal properly.  She will require FHO surgery in order to correct the hip, for which MAGSR will pay.  Some good new is, her other hip is just fine.

Little Miss Abby is such a charmer!   Abby may not be as big in physical stature as her GSD foster siblings (don’t tell her that though!) but this little girl has a heart as big as she thinks she is, and the energy, drive, and enthusiasm to match.   Abby has a bubbly personality and loves meeting all new people, and she gets along splendidly with big dogs (like her!) that are familiar to her, however she can get quite stimulated around smaller dogs.  Abby is very well behaved at home, and is very happy being out and about, running along with her foster on his bike, and going anywhere in the car.   She loves going to training class and has really ramped up on her obedience and manners, where she especially enjoys running the obstacle course.  Abby is a whole lot of dog in a small package, is as sweet as can be, and she is guaranteed to bring a great big smile to your face.  Please ask to meet Abby if she sounds like she might be the dog for you!

Mia was adopted from our rescue when she was just a puppy in 2014.  Sadly, through no fault of her own, her adopter returned her to MAGSR.  As you can imagine, Mia’s world as she knew it has been turned upside down.  She is currently in a loving foster home with her foster family helping her with the adjustment. Mia’s foster reports that Mia is adjusting nicely to her foster family and resident dog, is calm and loves the kids.  Mia is crate trained, walks well on a leash and knows her basic commands.  If a laid back dog is what your family is looking for, please ask to meet Mia.

Updates:

Mia's foster reports that she is the perfect companion dog. Mia is content to be where her humans are.  Each night before bed, Mia stretches out to for affection and to snuggle. Mia loves to play outside and go for walks - she walks perfectly on the leash. While out on her walks, Mia greets all of the people she meets with tail wags and kisses. Mia also loves riding and to go places - she jumps right up in the vehicle and lays down in the back on the floor in a small ball. If you are looking for a best friend and companion, Mia could definitely be it!  Please ask to meet Mia today.

DESCRIPTION:

Cyndal was found as a stray and taken to a shelter.  She is a sweet, sweet girl who gets along very well with other dogs.  She adores people, although we have not seen her with children yet.  We also do not know how she would do with cats as she has not met any yet.  When Cyndal showed up at the shelter she was missing a rear leg, no one has any history on this as she was stray.  She has no problems getting around with only 3 legs.  In fact tri-paws adapt to a missing limb and can pretty much do all of the same things as 4 legged dogs.  Please don't let her missing limb deter you from asking to meet Cyndal to see for yourself how well she gets around and just how sweet she is.

Updates:

Cyndal plays with her new toy. She's settling in at her foster home.

Gender: Female
Breed: German Shepherd Dog
Approximate Age: 10 years 6 months
Color: Liver and Tan
Current Size: 67 lbs
Housebroken: Yes
Obedience Trained: Partially
Altered: No

Good With Kids: Unknown
Good With Cats: Yes, with proper introduction
Other Dogs OK: Yes, with proper introduction
DESCRIPTION:

Riley was surrenderedto us after her family could not longer provide for her. Initially, she was very concerned and anxious about what had happened to the world she used to know. But with time and patience, she has settled in to her new routine at the kennel and has become much better. She's bonded very well to two volunteers in particular and loves to please them.
She is extremely intelligent and loves to learn new things as we attempt to keep her mind stimulated. She appears to be very social with other dogs and we are working on learning about her in that regard. She loves to go on car rides, play ball and can be playful and slightly vocal when in play mode.
Riley lived with children and cats in her previous home. However, just because she grew up with children and cats from puppyhood, this does not guarantee that she will peacefully coexist with every child and/or cat she meets that are new to her. We will not place her in a home with children unless she appears to be completely comfortable with them.
In addition, because of hervery fearful behavior after being surrendered to us, her introductions to new people needs to be taken slowly as she seems to be wary of those she doesn't know. If you are interested in her, please be aware that your introduction may take place over more than one visit with her to help build a relationship with her. She had a difficult time with change but we are committed to helping her get to her forever home and this is a process that may take time.
She will require an experienced handler who understands the undesirable behaviors that fearful dogs can exhibit and how to deal with those behaviors should she be put into a situation that is anything less than completely comfortable for her.
We will continue to update you as we learn more about her.

Updates:

UPDATE: Riley continues to do well! We recently introduced her to MAGSR alum Snowy, a well socialized, even-keeled, passive female. Riley was very inquisitive about her new canine pal. They got along extremely well during our long walk. In addition to her social interaction, we also introduced her to the in ground pool where she is currently residing. It didn't take her long and she was in the pool swimming like a champ! She seemed very comfortable in the water and quickly learned where the steps were to enter and exit the pool. She's also been on the agility equipment and has been seen following her handler across the catwalk.

DESCRIPTION:

Oso a very handsome, big boy weighing in at 105 lbs.  Although he is large, he is a gentle giant.  Oso's favorite activity is to play with balls, the more balls the better, yes even soccer and basketball size balls.  It is imperative that all dogs go through obedience training and Oso is not exception.  With a dog of this size you want to have good manners, this will make walking him on a leash much more enjoyable. 

Unfortunately Oso was returned to us.  Family members moved into his home, after he had lived there over a year, with small dogs that Oso did not get along with, so he got the boot.  He was fine with the neighbors female GSD.  He came back to us over weight so he has been put on diet, that along with exercise he should be down a good weight in no time.  

Updates:

Oso sure does LOVE balls, all sizes, squeaky and otherwise, this boy goes nuts for them!  He's a very calm, loving sweetheart who will be a great companion on walks or just hanging around.  He's easy on the leash, takes treats gently, sits nicely for brushing and knows basic commands.  A training class will help with bonding to this honey of a dog, once complete you will have a wonderful friend.  Just look at that smile, with his size and demeanor, he's sure to impress!

Oso has been a very good boy in his foster home and very respectful. Oso knows sit and stay until he gets his release command before he goes for his food and he is working on and getting better about taking treats gently. Oso loves belly rubs and loves being petted on the head and around the ears (he's a real fan of shoulder massages). Oso will give his human kisses. Oso is working on his leash manners and after walking a bit, will settle into a nice heel. Oso is a very kind and gentle soul. If Oso sounds like a good fit for your family, ask to meet him. 

Oso is settling into his new foster home more day by day. He know basic commands such as sit and down. With a strong leader, he walks well on a leash. Oso is completely house broken and has had no accidents in the house although he doesn't know which door to go to because he hasn't been in his new foster home long enough to know. Oso loves being pet and let's you know he wants attention. He is well behaved in his crate when he can't hear or see anyone. When he knows his humans are around, he wants to be with them. Oso loves being in his foster home but he would love a furever home instead.
