Adopted MAGSR Dogs
These are the most recent MAGSR adoptions. Dogs adopted prior to 2016 can be found here.
Kadian
ADOPTED 04/23/2018!
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?
Kadian came to us a surrender, as her former person was not in the position to care for or keep her. At 14 weeks old she has a whole lot to learn. It is never too soon to start basic obedience training, as socialization with other dogs and people is very important, along with learning good puppy manners. Puppies will chew things, have accidents, get into things and have lots of energy, so please be sure you have the time and patience it takes to raise a puppy. Adopting a puppy is a commitment for their lifetime.
Mally
ADOPTED 04/22/2018!
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?
Mally was surrendered to us as her elderly caregivers were moving and could not keep her. She has not had any training or guidance, nor has she been exposed to the world around her. She will need a family who will commit to training to help her build her confidence and of course to learn good canine manners. It is important that Mally has ongoing socialization and is introduced to the sounds, sights and smells of the world. It is her families job to guide her, work with her daily, provide lots of playtime, exercise, love and care.
Updates:Mally is settling in to her foster home. She is housetrained and very responsive to "No" verbal commands. Mally is young, so she does good exercising with her foster. Mally is excellent with her human and warms up to other dogs and strangers - she likes to take things at her own pace and be introduced slowly so she's comfortable. Mally may do better in a lower key and less chaotic home and is very excited as she waits for her furever family. Could that family be yours?
Merlin
ADOPTED 04/21/2018!
Good With Kids: Unknown

Merlin was surrendered as he kept escaping the yard with a 4 foot fence, suggested ways of keeping him contained were not implemented. He had been with his family for 5 years and deserved more than to be given away. As Merlin is new to us we are just getting to know him. He lived with another dog in his prior home. Right now he is confused and somewhat anxious with the changes in his life. He does require training to help him with good canine manners and to learn what is expected of him. Training is a great way to start the bonding process with a new family.
Mocha
ADOPTED 04/18/2018!
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?
Mocha was adopted through our rescue when she was just 16 weeks old. She has lived with her adopters for the last 6 years. After 6 years they decided to return her because they could not contain her in their yard with a 4 foot fence. Instead of correcting the problem or supervising her while she was out she was returned, leaving the only family she has known. Mocha deserved better than this, along with a lifetime commitment. She is such a well behaved sweet girl, she gets along well with other dogs. Mocha is now looking for a family who will commit to her for her lifetime.
Nikia
ADOPTED 04/15/2018!
Good With Kids: Yes

Nikia was found as a stray and ended up in a shelter. She is a beautiful, well behaved older girl, past the antics of a younger dog. She would be happy hanging with her family, going for strolls and being loved.
Updates:Nikia is settling in great to her foster home. Her foster parents report that Nikia is a delighful dog. She loves to ride in the car and just look out the window. She walks beautifully on a leash with minimal correction ("back") to keep her from walking out front and pulling. Nikia doesn't lunge or bark at people, other dogs, or anything else - just perks her ears up and shows interest but stays quietly by handler's side. Nikia is calm around small children - she perks perked up her ears and sits nicely to watch. Nikia loves tennis balls and tends to hoard them, so attention to taking those away when not supervised is necessary. Nikia likes bully sticks too. Nikia will only play with a toy if it is specifically given to her for play. Nikia stays off the furniture unless given permission. Nikia follows her humans around the house. If Nikia sounds like a good fit for your family, ask to meet her today.
Nikia's playful nature is coming out now that she is getting more secure in her environment. She loves to ride in the car and go for walks and loves to play.
She knows some basic obedience commands and is quite food motivated.
Crate trained. Goes right into the crate to eat and when she wants some down time. She waits patiently by the front door and pants or softly whines when she needs to go out to relieve herself.
She comes when called when she is off leash. She is very social and friendly but never jumps up on people. When she is really excited she does these little leaps in the air but not onto anyone or anything, just leaps a little bit in her own space.
She is very teachable. Has already learned "back" when I want her to get behind me so I can go out the door first.
