King
ADOPTED 05/15/2018!
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?
King made his way to us after he was confiscated by Animal Control for running at large and lack of proper care. He is approximately 4 years old. He is a little shy upon first meeting new people, but he quickly warms up and leans in to be petted. He seems to be a very nice boy that just needs stability, love and care.
Updates:Once in our care, our volunteers noticed King may have some difficulty seeing everything that is happening around him, so MAGSR had King seen by an eye specialist who diagnosed King with Progressive Retinal Atrophy in both eyes. The doctor feels it could be congenital or event related onset. King is totally blind in his right eye and has partial sight in his left eye. At the vet's recommendation, MAGSR is starting King on a dietary supplement, Ocuvite, which is inexpensive and can be purchased online easily. Going forward, King will need to be seen once a year by an eye specialist. King's foster mom reports he was an amazing patient and through all the tests, he was gentle and cooperative - he even gave the vet a kiss when they were done. King's personality outshines everything else. King is wonderful in the home and quickly gets out of the resident cat's way. On his walks, King is friendly to everyone he meets - adults, kids and other dogs. He rides well in the car, is housebroken, and does well on a leash. He's not fond of the crate, but he does wonderful when free in the house. King can get easily spooked but that may have to do with his limited sight - when he gets scared, he just backups and doesn't bark or growl. He is learning about the steps and that they aren't a bad thing. King loves his food and treats and will sit nicely for them. King is a wonderful guy and anyone who meets him won't focus on his limited sight, but rather what a great dog and companion he is.
Bo
ADOPTED 05/13/2018!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 12
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Bo came to us from a shelter, so we have no history on him. He can be picky about his dog friends and may do best as an only dog or with female dogs. Training of course will go a long way helping Bo settle in, learn some manners and how to properly interact with other dogs. With people he is very friendly, although we do not know how he is with children at this time.
Updates:Bo is great dog, and he's doing nicely in foster. His weight is up to 84lbs from 69lbs a month ago, and he loves to run and is building muscle - he is really looking good. He has been going to training for a few weeks and is doing very well the class, both with his basic commands and in terms of his confidence and socialization. He does fine in his crate (although he will start to make a racket sometimes if he feels he's missing out on something!), is house broken, and has acclimated well, and is happy and comfortable with his two older GSD foster siblings. Bo still has a lot to learn, but overall he's a very sweet and responsive dog, that is progressing well and will make a great addition to the right lucky home, that is ready to provide the care and love that Bo so richly deserves.
Handsome a sweet Bo was returned to MAGSR thru no fault of his own after his family decided they no longer wanted him. Bo’s prior family never truly committed to him and he spent most of his time in a crate. Bo is an active and friendly boy who needs exercise and continued training, as do most German Shepherds. Bo is ready for a forever family who will truly commit to him, spend time with him and not lock him in a crate and not give him up when he becomes an inconvenience. If interested in meeting this handsome boy, ask to meet Bo today!
Oliver
ADOPTED 05/12/2018!
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?
Oliver was surrendered as he was not good with the resident cats. He was originally adopted from a shelter in Niagara Falls, Canada. His adopters moved and could not take him so they left him with their parents in TN who had cats. So as you can see he is well travelled on the East Coast. He is a friendly boy who would just like to settle his paws in a forever home, one without cats of course.
Windsor
ADOPTED 05/07/2018!
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?
Windsor came to us from shelter where ended up as a stray. He is now in our care, looking for a better life and family who will care for him for his lifetime. We do not have any history for him, we are getting to know him. He has been friendly with those he has met and evaluated well with other dogs. Windsor is ready to put his past behind him and looks forward to a fresh start in a new home.
Updates:Windsor is a good foster pup. He gets along well with everyone, four-legged (dogs only so far) and otherwise. Windsor is working on his doorway manners and he's learning sit/stay in his foster home. Windsor is a pacer out in the yard and has some energy to burn. Windsor is slowly learning to play, when he wants to. Windsor accepts the crate, although he's not always happy about going into it, but he's quiet and relaxed when in there. Windsor is great interacting with kids. If Windsor sounds like a good fit for you, please ask to meet him.
Aria
ADOPTED 05/06/2018!
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?
Aria and her sister Allie came to us from a shelter where they had been surrendered. We are told that mom is a purebred GSD and dad is purebred Lab. At 16 weeks old both girls have 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.
Updates:Aria is settling well in her foster home. She is very affectionate, sweet, and playful. Aria will easily crawl up into your lap and cuddle next to you. Belly rubs are the best. She is responding well to housebreaking and enjoys hanging out with her family, including the resident cats. She is very friendly and her foster mom is working on her manners when she gets excited meeting new people. Aria is a gem, so don't miss out on meeting her.
