Fox
ADOPTED 04/12/2021!
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?
Lovely Fox was a victim of cruelty and neglect. Fortunately, when animal services learned of her situation, they moved quickly to help Fox as well as other animals in the household. Although this sweet girl was adjusting to her new circumstances, shelter staff recognized that Fox would have her best chance at finding a loving forever home if she was transferred to a rescue. When asked to help Fox move forward, MAGSR immediately stepped up.
Fox is a beautiful girl both inside and out. Although she has had to endure circumstances that no one should have to live through, her sweet spirit remains. As she can be a little timid when first new people, Fox warms up quickly with patience and kindness. A few high value treats also go a long way. Once comfortable, Fox is your typical young shepherd. She enjoys snuggles, being close to her people, and goofing around. Currently living with senior GSDs and a few cats, Fox enjoys the company of animals that will give her a minute to warm up to them. She seems most comfortable with one of the pushy, dog-savvy cats. As is true of most shepherds, Fox will benefit greatly from training. This will not only help her bond with her new family, but it will also help her develop confidence. If Fox sounds like the right match for your family, please ask to meet her today.
Dayna
ADOPTED 04/11/2021!
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 Dayna was trapped on the streets of a busy city along with her little family. When she arrived at the shelter, staff recognized that she was scared and shut down. There was simply so much going on around her and so many new people and sounds. Although timid, Dayna was sweet with staff members. As is often the case with adult dogs, Dayna was looked over as all of her puppies found homes. Recognizing the Dayna deserved a loving home of her own, we welcomed this little lady into the MAGSR family.
Dayna, as is true of many strays, needs time to adjust to new people and situations. She doesn't seem to have had positive responses from humans prior to her arrival at the shelter and is still learning that people can be kind. Dayna will meet with greatest success in a calm environment. She will benefit from patience, structure and routine. Training will go a long way with Dayna as it will help her not only develop into a good canine citizen but it will also help her bond with her forever family. Dayna is heartworm positive. We have already begun her heartworm treatment and Dayna is doing well. MAGSR will cover the entirety of the cost of Dayna's treatment. Although heartworm treatment is very expensive, Dayna is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating to Dayna's heartworm treatment. This will help us not only support Dayna but it will also help us save other dogs with medical needs. If your household can provide Dayna with the peaceful and structured environment she needs to thrive, please ask to meet this lovely girl today.
Bella
ADOPTED 04/10/2021!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 16
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Bella first came to MAGSR in July, 2020 as a stray. She was very sweet with MAGSR volunteers and eventually successfully transitioned to a home environment.
Bella is a beautiful and smart girl who loves the company of her primary people. She loves training and has excelled in group as well as individual lessons and is well on her way toward her Canine Good Citizen certification.
She loves car rides and is thrilled to accompany her humans anywhere.
Though she does not want to be left behind, she has handled time alone in the house well as her humans returned to in-person work. She’s an experienced shopper in hardware stores and pet stores and navigates busy boardwalks and streets with no problems, but her favorite time includes running in the backyard, walking on the beach or going on a long hike with her humans.
She has helped foster 8 other GSDs with her humans. She also does well in dog day camp with other dogs.
As a mature dog, she is fully adjusted to living in the house, is calm around adult family members, and has been a calming “co-worker” in Zoom meetings for hours on end. She is a polite eater and does not touch the furniture (unless invited in).
Bella receives A+ for sweet behavior every time she visits the vet or any time she spends the day at a camp with trainers. As is true of many shepherds, Bella tends to be protective of her people, house, and back yard and visitors need to be carefully introduced. There have been limited opportunities to work on this behavior during COVID-19 restrictions and while Bella is an amazing house dog, she demonstrates excess anxiety and barking with visitors to the home.
Her household was recently licensed for foster child care and many new strangers to Bella now come to the home. Out of high caution, Bella is secured in a separate room during child foster visits and the current circumstances are not sustainable for Bella or current and future foster children. Bella has been very much loved by her family.
After consulting several trainers, they made the heartbreaking decision to look for a new home for her, motivated by high investment in her quality of life and positive future without the stress of little children running around. Bella is an amazing girl who will be a loving family member but needs an environment with adults and/or older children.
Roxee
ADOPTED 04/05/2021!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 16
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Roxee was rehomed recently. She was clearly a well-loved member of her family. Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside of their control, Roxee needed to be rehomed once more. When asked to help find the perfect forever home for this stunning girl, MAGSR was honored to step-up and provide Roxee with a safe haven.
Roxee is a sweet girl who looks for guidance and leadership from those around her. When given calm and consistent leadership, Roxee responds positively. It seems that Roxee was undersocialized for the first few years of her life, which has caused her to need a little more time to warm up to new people. However, once comfortable, Roxee has the "shepherd lean" down pat. A lack of exposure to the everyday activities of the outside world has made her skittish. Roxee will need time, patience, and consistency as she moves forward. Training will be an essential component of Roxee's future. It will not only help her develop the confidence needed to experience the world around her, but it will also help her create a strong, healthy bond with her handler. Although Roxee can be a little unsure about new people, she is fantastic with cats and dogs of all sizes. In her current foster home, the pack quickly welcomed this gentle girl into their household. They must have known she needed a little extra love. Roxee is an adorable girl who is looking for a special family that has the time and patience to help her move forward. Could that be with you?
Denali
ADOPTED 04/03/2021!
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 Denali was taken by animal control when they felt his owner could not properly care for him. Although he did amazingly well in the shelter environment, shelter staff recognized that Denali may meet with greater success finding his forever home with a rescue. When they asked us to help Denali move forward, we immediately welcomed this boy into the MAGSR family.
Denali is a young, playful, and social guy. He is the definition of a happy dog. Outgoing with people and with other dogs, Denali wants to be friends with everyone. Due to a birth defect in his front leg, Denali moves around with a bit of a limp. Although this may seem concerning to onlookers, this is just part of daily life for Denali. He has always walked a little differently from the other dogs but doesn't let his differences define him. Denali is looking for a forever family that will provide him with the structure, leadership, and guidance that all GSDs crave. Excited to try new adventures, Denali will thrive in training. Training will not only help Denali bond with his new family but it will also help him develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to become. If Denali sounds like the right match for your household, please ask to meet him today.
