Adopted MAGSR Dogs

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 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!

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.

Daina's test results revealed that she  has EPI, Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency.  This is caused when the pancreas does not produce enough enzymes to properly digest food.  This is very easily treated by adding enzymes to each meal which helps the body digest food.  More information can be found at epi4dogs.com along with before and after pictures of dogs that have EPI. Daina is now receiving the enzymes she needs and will begin to gain weight.  Please do not let EPI deter you from considering Daina, she deserves a family to love and care for her and in return she will give you her devotion. , Daina is doing so very well in her foster home and is definitely stronger and putting on weight now that she has the enzymes she needs for her food. Daina is a smart, playful, active, curious and fun girl. Her playful personality is really emerging now that she feels better. Daina loves to play tug and will also retrieve a ball thrown for her and will sit immediately when waiting for it to be thrown again.  She is friendly but alert and will alert her foster mom when she hears unexpected noises, but Daina is a pretty quiet dog in general. Daina is very well behaved and housebroken. She is learning obedience commands and leash manners and takes easy corrections well - some training will help quickly teach her the skills she needs to be a good canine citizen. Daina is just a wonderful, sweet, playful young girl waiting to make some family very happy!    , Hi - I’m Daina! I’m a little over 1 year old, past the puppy days but so full of fun!  I sit, walk well on a leash, play with other dogs and kids very nicely, love my crate, and am a really happy dog.  I do have one easily managed issue: I need to have enzymes sprinkled on all my food 20 minutes before I eat, to help me digest it and stay healthy.  It’s called EPI, or exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, (which you can look up online very easily), but other than that, I’m a normal, happy, fun young girl looking for my forever home.  I’ve met other dogs, horses, and kids here on my foster’s farm, and I’m friendly but alert. I don’t bark much at all, unless I hear something that just doesn’t sound right - then I’ll let you know. I like to play ball and tug, and go for walks anywhere you want to take me!  Please consider me when you are looking for a dog you can love forever - I’m kind of a sweetheart!
