Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Magic was surrendered by his family as they were moving into an apartment where Shepherds were not allowed.  

He lived with children, cats and other dogs in his previous home. He does like to chase the cats, but we are told he only wants to play.

Magic, of course will require training and guidance from his family so that he can learn good manners.
 

Shosha came to us from a shelter, so we have no history on her.  We are learning more about her, so far we know that she is a friendly girl and enjoys the company of other dogs, although she does play rough.  She is a big girl at 94 lbs. 

Little Miss Abby is such a charmer!   Abby may not be as big in physical stature as her GSD foster siblings (don’t tell her that though!) but this little girl has a heart as big as she thinks she is, and the energy, drive, and enthusiasm to match.   Abby has a bubbly personality and loves meeting all new people, and she gets along splendidly with big dogs (like her!) that are familiar to her, however she can get quite stimulated around smaller dogs.  Abby is very well behaved at home, and is very happy being out and about, running along with her foster on his bike, and going anywhere in the car.   She loves going to training class and has really ramped up on her obedience and manners, where she especially enjoys running the obstacle course.  Abby is a whole lot of dog in a small package, is as sweet as can be, and she is guaranteed to bring a great big smile to your face.  Please ask to meet Abby if she sounds like she might be the dog for you!

Mia was adopted from our rescue when she was just a puppy in 2014.  Sadly, through no fault of her own, her adopter returned her to MAGSR.  As you can imagine, Mia’s world as she knew it has been turned upside down.  She is currently in a loving foster home with her foster family helping her with the adjustment. Mia’s foster reports that Mia is adjusting nicely to her foster family and resident dog, is calm and loves the kids.  Mia is crate trained, walks well on a leash and knows her basic commands.  If a laid back dog is what your family is looking for, please ask to meet Mia.

Riley was surrenderedto us after her family could not longer provide for her. Initially, she was very concerned and anxious about what had happened to the world she used to know. But with time and patience, she has settled in to her new routine at the kennel and has become much better. She's bonded very well to two volunteers in particular and loves to please them.
She is extremely intelligent and loves to learn new things as we attempt to keep her mind stimulated. She appears to be very social with other dogs and we are working on learning about her in that regard. She loves to go on car rides, play ball and can be playful and slightly vocal when in play mode.
Riley lived with children and cats in her previous home. However, just because she grew up with children and cats from puppyhood, this does not guarantee that she will peacefully coexist with every child and/or cat she meets that are new to her. We will not place her in a home with children unless she appears to be completely comfortable with them.
In addition, because of hervery fearful behavior after being surrendered to us, her introductions to new people needs to be taken slowly as she seems to be wary of those she doesn't know. If you are interested in her, please be aware that your introduction may take place over more than one visit with her to help build a relationship with her. She had a difficult time with change but we are committed to helping her get to her forever home and this is a process that may take time.
She will require an experienced handler who understands the undesirable behaviors that fearful dogs can exhibit and how to deal with those behaviors should she be put into a situation that is anything less than completely comfortable for her.
We will continue to update you as we learn more about her.
