Trooper was picked up as a stray by Animal Control. Upon being found he had numerous abrasions and gashes on his legs. He was seen by the vet immediately, had his wounds cleaned and sutured. He is still healing from whatever caused his injuries, but is healing well. Trooper is need of a strong handler, someone that will set rules and provide structure. Training is needed, as he needs to learn manners and good dog behavior. Trooper can be spooked by things he is not familiar with so ongoing socialization is important.
Unfortunately, Trooper tested heartworm positive when seen by MAGSR's vet. This could have been avoided had he been kept on monthly heartworm preventatives. Trooper is in the beginning stages of his heartworm treatment, which of course MAGSR will pay for his entire treatment. Treatment is expensive, but Trooper is certainly worth the cost. Donations towards his treatment would be greatly appreciated, this would also help us save other dogs with medical needs. He will have to take it slow for the next few months while he undergoes treatment, so lots of rest will be in order.
Updates:Trooper is one resilient and incredibly special guy. He was welcomed into the MAGSR family, as so many are, with very little information about where he came from or what he had been through. Although Trooper took a little time to adjust to a life of comfort, regular food, and stability, he seems to have discovered that things are improving every day. Trooper has already come a long way in the short time he has been with MAGSR. He has begun to learn basic commands such as sit, down, stay, and wait. His heel is coming along and only requires a few reminders that leaning in is better done when hanging out and not when walking on leash. As training is a requirement for all dogs, Trooper will be top of the class.
A perfect companion in the car, Trooper either lays down or quietly watches from his seat. He is good about getting into and out of the car. Having recently moved into a foster home, Trooper is now learning the ins and out of living in a home. Although cautious at first, Trooper seems to be taking this new set of changes in stride. He is learning about the joys of having his own bones, a comfortable place to sleep, and how to navigate slippery wood floors. Trooper is also developing an understanding of crate training and housebreaking. This is important as he will need to be on crate rest during his heart worm treatment. If Trooper sounds like a good match for your household, please inquire about him today.
Seth
ADOPTED 02/09/2019!

Seth was abandoned by his person at a friends home and never returned for him. He is understandably confused with the recent changes in his life causing some anxiety. He lived with a female GSD and was around cats without issues. He did live with children but did not have much interaction with them, so we do not know how he would do with children. We are giving him time to settle in and will post updates once we know him better.
Atta
ADOPTED 02/07/2019!
Good With Kids: Unknown

Atta was a stray to the shelter and is now looking for his forever home. He is a strong boy with no leash skills, but with training, guidance and direction he will learn quickly. He is young and full of energy, so be sure you are up to many walks and playtime each day. Yes, he has a lot to learn, but will need his humans help to learn how to be the best he can be.
Updates:He is a sweetheart!! Atta loves every person he meets. Atta hasn't had any accidents in the house and is slightly crate trained / crate comfortable. He would prefer being with his person than in the crate though and may cry a little at first. Once he gets a routine and understands you're coming back he's fine! Atta is a cuddler and a silly boy. He doesn't get into things around the house and is very well behaved. Training will be helpful and he learns very quickly! Sit, stay, come, heel, drop, etc are all about 65%. The dogs we have met, Atta hasn't been psyched about and will growl. Some he is okay with when introduced slowly and properly. He requires medium exercise and is happy to adapt to his owner. With car rides, he does well, gets slightly anxious, and may get car sick on longer trips. Atta may do well in a low-chaos home, maybe with a couple who is home often. He's a very special pup and his future family will be very lucky.
Lexi
ADOPTED 02/03/2019!
Good With Kids: Yes

Lexi came back to us after 5 years as her adopter had many changes in her life, some of them tragic. Lexi is very much loved and was well cared for, but unfortunately her family was not able to continue to provide her with the best home. She lived with smaller dogs and cats, she also enjoyed frequent visits by the grandchildren. She is overweight, but with a reduced calorie diet she will have her girly figure back in no time. Lexi would love to know the comforts of a home once again and the love and companionship of a family.
Zeus
ADOPTED 02/02/2019!
Good With Kids: Unknown

Sadly Zeus's person was relocated for his job and was not able to find pet friendly housing that he could afford. Zeus and his sister Athena are now in our care, patiently waiting for a new family. They have been well cared for and were very much loved. They get along very well and are very bonded so we are hopeful that a family has room in their hearts and homes to adopt them both.
