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.
 

Zena was surrendered as she was not getting along with the farm animals, specifically the goats.  She lived with 3 young children, dogs and cats in previous home.  She did well with calmer cats.  She is a dominant female and is best suited with non dominate dogs, preferably males.  She is nervous of fireworks and thunderstorms, rides well in a car and does not get into things when home alone.  

Whiskey cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a handsome young boy, happy go lucky and confident and loves to give puppy kisses.  Whiskey was adopted out as a puppy and was returned to MAGSR after as his family no longer wanted him.  Whiskey has a lot to learn about being a good canine citizen and will require training.  Please remember that puppies are a lot of work, they need a lot of attention and a watchful eye – they can be a 12-14 year commitment.  Puppies are full of energy and can be mischievous – they will whine, have accidents, get into things, and chew on inappropriate things.  With time, patience, guidance and training, Whiskey will become even more of an amazing boy than he already is.  Please inquire if Whiskey sounds like a good match for your family.

Grizzly is the son of Apache and the brother to Keena.  Grizzly does best with another dog as they help him relax.  He is somewhat shy, he will require someone with patience and who will work on helping him build his confidence.  Training will go along way and certainly help with him getting use to being on a leash.  He is a sweet boy just a little unsure, it is obvious he was not well socialized, but with your help he should blossom.

Kaz, Kylene, and Kyrie are siblings. All three dogs were turned into a shelter. All  are very nice dogs. Kaz is pretty laid back and walks pretty well on a leash. He does enjoy the company of his sisters during his walk. Kaz would be a great companion dog for any family.

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!

Mysti's former owner surrendered her as he did not have time for her and his brothers alpha female GSD was attacking her.  This is the reason that Mysti has some scratches and scars on her nose/muzzle, but they make her no less beautiful.  Mysti was being kept in an all black wire metal crate, which was too small for her, out in the sun in 80 degree temperatures.  Mysti loves rope toys, kongs and knuckle bones which she will carry around in her mouth.  She rides well in a vehicle and did well at her vet visit.  She enjoys having her belly rubbed.  With proper training, love and encouragement Mysti will be a wonderful family dog.

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.

Hudson was found as stray with a wound on his abdomen.  He received immediate medical care and the wound is just about completely healed.  Hudson may be 5 years old but he has the energy of much younger dog.  A family that enjoys going for long walks, lots of playtime and of course training would be a good match for Hudson.  

This handsome boy is amazing and ever so sweet.  

John Boy was found as a stray and taken to a shelter.  This wonderful boy is scared but so friendly.  He warms up quickly and he's affectionate with everyone he meets.  John Boy will lean into his human and rest his head in his human's lap - he just needs to know what it is to have a family who cares for him and loves him.  John Boy's tail wags light up a room. John Boy needs to learn and get comfortable on a leash, but he's a smart boy.  

Now that John Boy has a warm and loving foster home, he has the opportunity to shine. Currently living with both kids and dogs, John Boy is adjusting well.  If John Boy sounds like the right dog for your household, please ask about him today.

Meet adorable Carter, an 8 month old German Shepherd mix.  Carter found himself as a stray, very underweight out in the cold.  He made his way to a home where he was taken in and cared for while they tried to find his family.   He was in a home with 11 Hound Dogs and did well with them.   He is friendly with everyone he meets.  ​ Carter is still putting on such much needed weight, of course good nutrition and regular meals helps with this.   Ask to meet Carter,  he is ready for stability and a family of his very own.

Radar was surrendered as he lived on a free range farm and was not doing well with the farm animals.  He is a very handsome plush coat GSD.  In his previous home he was reported to be good with cats but we have not cat tested him.  He is a loving, friendly boy, he will require training in order to be a well behaved canine and family member.  Ask this meet this handsome boy.

Ben, along with his brother Jerry, were surrendered to a shelter as their person has Alzheimer's and was no longer able to care for them.  They were very much loved. 

The brothers are so chill, they take everything in stride.  They are such sweet boys, so full of love to give to another family.  Ben and Jerry are very bonded, they would really do best remaining together.  If you are looking for dogs that just enjoy hanging out, going for leisurely walks, being by your side as you read a book then Ben and Jerry are your boys.  If you have room in your heart and home for the twins please ask to meet them.

Handsome Prince came to MAGSR from a very sad situation.  Prince previously lived in a hoarding situation with 14 other dogs.  Prince was underfed and used for breeding.  Because of all that Prince has endured, he is confused and just needs to learn to trust and know he'll be well taken care of.  Now that MAGSR has Prince, we hope he will quickly adjust and learn that he will receive regular meals, attention, and proper socialization. Prince is a outgoing and very friendly boy.  If Prince sounds like the right dog for your household, please ask about him today.

Care for these hoarding rescues is putting a severe strain on MAGSR's resources. Donations towards their treatment would be greatly appreciated, this would also help us save other dogs with medical needs.

Sweet Dorma came to MAGSR very emaciated and from a very sad situation.  This little girl previously lived in a hoarding situation with 14 other dogs where some would lose out on getting food, which we think is what happened to Dorma because she is skin and bones.  She was very underfed and used for breeding.  Because of all that Dorma has endured, she is very confused and just needs to learn to trust and know she'll be well taken care of.  Now that MAGSR has Dorma, we hope she will quickly adjust and learn that she will receive regular meals, attention, and proper socialization. If Dorma sounds like the right dog for your household, please ask about her today.

Sadly Rocky's person passed away, leaving him to find another family and home.  In his previous home he happily lived with 3 Poms.  He also did well with visiting grandchildren.  He is a great boy, albeit somewhat confused after losing everything he knew.  He is currently in a foster home, living with a cat.  We are waiting for updates on his behavior with cats, once settled in he will be properly introduced to his feline housemate.  Rocky needs some work on his leash manners as he is very strong and pulls hard while being walked.  This is easily corrected with proper training.  He is housebroken and crate trained.

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.

Sweet Bell came to MAGSR from a shelter and needs a home of her own.  Understandably, Bell is very scared and confused.  We hope she will quickly adjust and learn to trust and know that she'll be well take care of.  If Bell sounds like the right dog for your household, please ask about her today.
