Columba
ADOPTED 03/10/2019!
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?
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.
Taura
ADOPTED 03/09/2019!
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?
Taura came to us from a shelter where she had been surrendered for reasons unknown. She is somewhat skittish, but at her young age with structure, socialization and training she should be able to overcome this. She is in a foster home enjoying the comforts of a home and human interaction.
Dieter
ADOPTED 03/09/2019!
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?
Dieter came to us from a not so good situation. He was used as a breeding dog, he was not provided with proper care or adequate living conditions. Thankfully after complaints and an investigation he, along with other dogs were confiscated. Dieter is now in our care where he is looking for a family that will provide him with a loving and warm home, where he means more to his family than just a stud. Dieter is learning to trust humans that are kind and caring, we suspect this is something he has not had before. He can be standoffish with new people, but our volunteers are working with him. He was known as the alpha of the pack, always checking on his fur family. He will need someone with GSD experience, who will commit to working with him and showing him that humans can be caring, loving people.
Updates:Dieter is a very scared boy who seems to be the victim of physical abuse on top of the extreme neglect so he is VERY fearful of people. He was caked with his own feces and in terrible physical condition on intake. Quick movements or unexpected touching of him in any way make him jump and shake. He's slow to walk and will frequently walk in front of you and block forward motion with his body. Through all this, he is a sweet dog, showing no aggression towards humans. He takes treats very well and seems grateful for the kindness. He likes to have his head or on his body rubbed, as long as you are careful around his ears due to a severe double ear infection. Dieter is okay being brushed, so we continue removing the matted fur from him. Dieter has shown no aggression toward any of the other dogs and seems to be more comfortable being around them than people.
Dieter is clearly feeling better after the extraction of 4 bad teeth, and continued treatment for the ear infections. Dieter seems comfortable around other dogs but high energy pups still make him uneasy. He's also getting much more comfortable around people, moving toward some of the volunteers for the first time rather than just leaning on his handler. He sat and laid down while out on the leash for the first time, so he's now more at ease in these surroundings. We're seeing he has some training, doing a sit for one of the volunteers handling him. This big boy still has a long way to go, but with love and training, he will reward that time tenfold with loyalty and companionship. Could you find that love in your heart for Dieter?
Chase
ADOPTED 03/09/2019!
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?
Chase landed in a shelter when his family moved and could not take him with them. He is a young bubbly happy puppy that requires training, guidance and structure. He lived harmoniously with children , cats, and regularly played with other dogs at the dog park.
Updates:Chase lived in a foster home with a young child and was amazing with her – he is exceptionally patient. Chase is great in the home, housebroken and crate trained. Chase loves belly rubs and attention from his humans and seems very eager to please. In a couple of meet & greets with other dogs, Chase has proven to be very unsocialized with other dogs of all sizes and has no manners with them. Chase would greatly benefit from group training with other dogs so that he can become the best canine he can be. If Chase sounds like he may be a fit for your family, ask to meet him today.
Kalani
ADOPTED 03/09/2019!
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?
Kalani was found wandering country roads, she was taken to a shelter. She is underweight, but will begin to gain weight with regular nutritious meals. She is such a love, she enjoys belly rubs, leaning into her person for petting and she is full of kisses and tail wags. Training of course is required, as we want Kalani to have good canine manners. She is young, so be prepared for an energetic girl who will require daily exercise.
Updates:Kalani is settling into her new surroundings which is helping us get to know her better. Energizer bunny comes to mind when describing her energy. She is a busy girl, she enjoys her time in the play yard with all of the toys, but some tough toys are in order for this mega chewer. She is still working on improving her leash manners, that will come with daily leash walks. Kalani can be mouthy, not realizing her sharp teeth hurt. If you are looking for a running partner, live an active lifestyle and have the energy and time, ask to meet Kalani
Kalani is settling in to her foster home. In so many ways, Kalani is just a puppy with normal puppy behaviors - curious, uncertain, brave, funny, sweet and anxious. She's a chewer and loves to chew so it's important to keep her busy on chewing only those things which she is allowed to have. She is crate trained and learning sit and is food-motivated making her easier to train for simple commands. Kalani has a high prey drive and when combined with her playful puppy mouthiness, she can become a little worked up. Kalani has the great potential to be a wonderful dog. She is a sweet young girl looking for a forever home to provide consistency, structure and training with a handler who has prior experience with the breed so she can reach her full potential and correct some of her puppy habits which are inappropriate for a dog of her age. If Kalani sounds like she could be a fit for you, please ask to meet her.
Young Kalani has greatly benefited from her 6 weeks of professional training at K-9 Koncepts. Originally found as a stray, she didn’t know much about interacting properly with the world when she came to us. But after professional training, she is much more able to enjoyably interact with people and normal daily activities. She is much more observant of her handler now, and has learned basic commands. Her leash skills have also improved a great deal, since she is much more focused on her handler and less concerned with random activity nearby. She is still the same happy, lovable, sweet girl she was before, just much easier to handle and more enjoyable to be around. Kalani has learned sit, heel, down, stay, and come to various degrees (all of course will need to be reinforced by continued proper training and handling), and is ready to move on to a forever home. If you would like to meet Kalani, she is ready to meet you and your family! Please ask to meet Kalani today!
