Rainee is a delightful young dog.  She’s quite the “head turner,” so very beautiful and very good natured.  At about 2 years old she still has an abundance of “puppy” energy, and like all young dogs can be a bit rambunctious, easily distracted, and cautious in new situations that confuse her, but she is very responsive and learns quickly.  She is working on her basic commands (although “down” can still often slip into “rub my belly”!), crates beautifully, has not had any accidents in the house, and has been getting along nicely with the other dogs in the structured environment in her foster home.  Miss Rainee is a real gem – a “diamond in the rough” that is waiting for her family to find her and give her the care, training, and love she needs to reach her full potential.  Please ask to meet Rainee if that might be you!  

Sommer is doing well adjusting in her new home. She can be timid at times but a structured routine helps her to build trust. She is working on h​e​r bathroom schedule but she is coming along very well.

She becomes a very different puppy when outside that is very eager to chase and play.

She is a stunner and she deserves a great forever home.

Sweet Miss Harmony is a friendly little cuddle bug. 

​T​hough she is small, she is mighty… Cute. If you're looking for a dog to guard your home, keep looking. Harmony greets everyone she sees with her belly exposed ready for rubs and snuggles.

She is doing well in her foster home. She enjoys attention from children and is getting along with the resident dog. She established boundaries with him letting him know that she doesn't like to roughhouse. Harmony would happily live with another dog but she would be just as happy to be an only dog. She is looking for somewhere that she can be spoiled rotten.

Harmony would not do well in a home with cats. She has a strong prey drive and cats are just way too much fun. She also likes chasing animals when she is outside. Even though she small she can create a significant impact at the end of her leash when she sees a squirrel. So it's important to always be on the lookout and have a good grasp on her leash.

Harmony is learning to respond to her name. She does not come when she's called yet. However once you have her attention she has learned how to sit. She also understands to come and drop it but she does not consistently follow it, yet. Harmony is doing very well with housebreaking her last  accident was at the door where we leave to go for walks. So she has figured it out.

Harmony does not mind being crated during the day while the family is at work/school. She even goes in her crate from time to time when people are home to relax. She would prefer to go to a home where somebody lets her sleep on a dog bed on the floor in their room.

Harmony is missing a hind paw for reasons that are unknown to us. However, she has no trouble walking, running, climbing steps, navigating tree branches etc. on a walk. In fact, we're pretty sure Harmony doesn't know her paw is missing. So please don't tell her when you meet her.

Faye took little time adjusting to her new foster home. She is very loving and playful. Faye loves playing with the pull toy and walks nicely as part of the pack with the resident dogs.  Faye also enjoys time with the resident children, she loves on them and plays very gently with them. We are working on housebreaking and she already has an idea of going potty outside. It is just going to take a little more work. If you are ready for a fun loving puppy that will be a great addition consider Faye.

Julie loves to chase her big red ball.

Lucy is adjusting very well to her new home.

She enjoys longs walks fetch​ ​and lots of love and attention. She is very excited whenever approached by a new friend and she politely sits and waits to be loved. She is great on the leash and great in the car taking the scenic route.

I know she would thrive in any loving home but I really think she would love company from other dogs and possibly cats. She is gentle and caring and needs a great family to share a forever home!

Hayden is a handsome, distinguished boy who loves being with his people. Since we have taken him in, he has followed both us to stay nearby. Hayden has showed us that he is calm and easy going. It took him only a day to warm up to our little pocket shepherd and plays really well with her. Generally, Hayden will relax by our sides, take occasional naps, or sit by the window to watching outside happenings. Hayden is incredible easy to walk, staying close by our sides and never pulls. He is completely housebroken as well. 

If you are looking for a handsome GSD who loves his owners, easy going, and gentle then he would be a great addition to your family. 

Sadly, sweet Karma tested heartworm positive when seen by a MAGSR vet, she obviously was not kept on monthly Heartworm Preventatives which would have protected her.  She is currently undergoing heartworm treatment to rid her body of Heartworms so that she may enjoy many more years of life.  Treatment is expensive but Karma is certainly worth the cost. 

Donations towards her treatment would be greatly appreciated, this would also help us save other dogs with medical needs

Karma has settled in nicely to her foster home and is enjoying her new life while she awaits her forever home.  She enjoys hanging out with her foster brothers and sisters, getting out for her short walks, and giving lots of kisses and tail wags to whomever she can reach.  Karma has a sweet and playful personality that gets along with kids and other dogs. 

Also, Karma’s heartworm treatment is going well.  Treatment is relatively easy to do, it just takes a few months. It requires an oral antibiotic with her meals for the first month, and three injections over the course of last two months.  After receiving the injections, she is put on crate restriction to limit activity and help her recovery.  This crate restriction is actually a great time to adopt the dog, as it allows the dog to get used to their new home in a calm environment and to slowly introduce freedom in the house.  Karma is available for adoption while she’s receiving treatment, so if you’re interested in meeting this sweet girl, contact your adoption coordinator today!

Sweet Karma was returned to MAGSR through no fault of her own - her family was not able to keep her.  Karma is finishing up her heartworm treatment and she has been wonderful through it during her crate restriction.  Karma is very anxious to be adopted by a family who will commit to her for her life and to start her life heartworm free.  If snuggles and kisses sound like something you're looking for, then Karma may be a good fit for your family, so please ask to meet her now.

Prior to coming to MAGSR, Maya endured a trama to her back left leg which resulted in a torn ACL. As a result, Maya underwent a TPLO, or tibial-plateau-leveling osteotomy, in early July. Maya came through the surgery well and has been an amazing patient throughout the recovery process. At this time, Maya is participating in weekly physical therapy appointments where she regularly draws a crowd due to her fun-loving personality and beautiful face. Although Maya is not yet ready to be running around chasing a ball or playing with her foster siblings, she is looking for a forever home. As a young, energetic girl, Maya is looking for a family that will help her finish up her recovery, as well as, provide her with a the love, exercise, and training that all dogs need to become good canine citizens. If Maya sounds like a good match for you family, please ask to meet her today. 

As Maya's care has been both important and expensive, donations towards her treatment would be greatly appreciated. These donations help us offset costs so that we can save other dogs with medical needs. 

Farrah has settled nicely into her foster home.  She really is just the sweetest thing! She is working on house training, but she isn't there quite yet.  She is still a little shy when first meeting new people, but will warm up quickly.  She is so eager to please and is very smart- she is coming along nicely with basic commands.  She is now comfortable with cars and will jump right in, then rides nicely in them.  She knows what toys are now and is a chewer! But she won't chew on anything that isn't hers.  She has excellent house manners and isn't destructive at all!  She would do great in a house with another dog to keep her company.  She is just an absolute sweetheart and don't miss the opportunity to meet her!

Achilles is a sweet boy looking for a home to call his own. He came to his foster home looking forward to a warm bed and plenty of nice pets. The first order of business was to give him a bath, and he trusted his foster mom to clean him up, giving no trouble at all. Achilles particularly loved getting a "furmination." When Achilles is hanging out at home, he is usually playing with his foster sister (who is half his size) or being just close to his family. Achilles didn't love the crate at first, but got used to it once he realized it was a safe place. He is mostly housebroken and could use some basic obedience. Achilles's foster family has no doubt that he would make a loving addition to any home with dogs, kids, or anybody else. He is loving and wants to receive just as much love himself. 

Over the past couple of days Achilles has been opening up and showing how sweet and gentle he really is. When not playing with his foster sister, he is close his humans hanging out or giving kisses. He loves massages too! Achilles is used to his crate and will gladly go in and enjoy chewing bones in there! He really good with both people and dogs. On nice days he likes to go outside and hang out on the porch and watch people and cars go by. Achilles sleeps well at night in his foster parents bedroom on his bed. He is waiting for his forever home and can't wait to show them how awesome he is!

Grisham is a very sweet and good-natured young dog.  He has been living in his foster home for a couple weeks now, and has settled in wonderfully.  He is very well adjusted to his crate, has proven he is housebroken, and gets along splendidly with the two older resident dogs.  He is coming along very well with some of his obedience commands, and has a good sit and down, and has really made great progress on his leash manners.   He meets new dogs easily and well with proper introductions, keeping in mind he is still pretty young and puppyish, so may be a little “over the top” for some older and more reserved dogs.  As a young dog he has boatloads of energy, and loves to run and play in the yard, and go biking with his foster dad.  He is happy to meet all people, young and old, and loves to curl up at your feet and hang out (once he’s burned his puppy energy off!).   Grisham may be a bit stubborn sometimes when he is uncertain about what is going on –  for example he wasn’t going anywhere near the vacuum cleaner the first time he met one.  But he is very handsome and charming young GSD mix that is very upbeat and eager to please.  Please ask to meet Grisham if he sounds like the dog for you!

I am settling into my foster home wonderfully. I love my foster kids in the house. My foster dad says I'm a happy thing and I follow my foster mom everywhere she goes...even when she exercises. I want nothing more than to be loved on and play with my toys. I'm really looking forward to playing fetch again. If you are looking for a devoted friend for life to snuggle with you and play with you adopt me! I'm worth it.

I am doing great in physical therapy and continue to be a great sport through all of the exercises both at home and there. My leg is getting better everyday. I have really settled in and look forward to my exercises, walks and visits to the bus stop. The better my leg gets the more I want to play tug and fetch but it will still be a little while longer. Hopefully when I go back to the doctor he will give the go ahead to run, jump and play because I am dying to do it. I have lots of energy and need a family that can keep up with me. My foster parents say that I'm a really special girl and will make some family a wonderful pal for life. If you have the time and energy please adopt me.
