Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Sonic was adopted from MAGSR as a puppy in 2009, sadly his family decided to return him today as they did not want to work with the anxiety Sonic developed after being scared by fireworks when home alone.  Sonic was a loving and loyal family member to his family and 2 children for the last 8 years, but that was not enough to earn the love and loyalty of his family.  Understandably Sonic is confused as to where his family is, he will need time to adjust to the sudden and drastic changes in his life.  We are now getting to know Sonic as an adult, as we learn more about him we will post updates.  

Update: Sonic may be a little older, but he is energetic and curious. He may be weary at first; however with a little time and effort, he will want nothing more than to be by your side. He has a very anxious personality, which may be because the only family he has ever known is no longer in his life (who wouldn’t be a little upset). Sonic doesn’t really like to play, but will be the happiest when going on a walk and sniffing everything and anything he can. He can be a little uneasy in his crate, but he’s easily calmed when he is reassured. Sonic is excellent when being brushed, and likes to be in your lap (or as close to you as possible) while being brushed. 

Giselle found herself as a stray at a shelter so we have no prior history on her.  She is a young energetic girl with beautiful markings.  Giselle is in need of training as she can be mouthy when excited and doesn't know that jumping on people is not acceptable.  It's obvious no one ever took the time to teach her good canine manners, but with direction from her new family she will learn all that she needs to know.  She would do best with a family that has the time and energy to provide for a young active dog.

Cyrus is very puppylike. He does know how to sit and give paw. But he needs general obedience. He is a fun, smaller guy that would greatly benefit from group training so that he learns how to socially interact with other dogs.

He loves people. He loves to play fetch with a ball and is eager to explore new things. He likes car rides, is very food motivated and is eager to please his person.

He will need someone with patience and time to teach him right from wrong. Because he's a little grabby and hard on the fingers when it comes to taking treats, he might be better suited in a household without toddlers or very young children.

Emory is a big, sweet, fun loving 10 month old puppy. How this handsome boy ended up as a stray and in a shelter is beyond us. He has all of the mannerisms of a puppy, playful and goofy. He is looking for a family who will provide him with training, guidance, playtime, walks, love and care for his lifetime.

Nala was surrendered to a shelter as her family was moving.  Sweet Nala was so frightened at the shelter, her world was turned upside down.  She would love to be out of a kennel and back into a home with a family of her very own, one that will cherish her for her lifetime.  She may very well be house broken, as she keeps her kennel area clean and waits to be taken outside to go potty.  She is young, full of energy and puppy playfulness.  Of course she requires training to learn good canine manners and leash skills.

Zale found himself in a shelter after being picked up as a stray. He is a very handsome young Belgian Malinois. Right now he is skittish and scared, which comes with all of the changes he has been through. He is being given time to adjust to his new surroundings. While Malinois' may look similar to German Shepherds they are not the same dogs. They are often times high energy requiring extended daily exercise and activities, they need ongoing training and socialization with people and other dogs. They are active, loving and enjoy having a job. Malinois' are not for someone who is looking for a laid back, couch potato. Zale will need a family that can meet his needs both physically and mentally.

Swemi was surrendered to us as her person was moving to care for their elderly parents.  She lived with children and another large dog.  Swemi is in a foster home getting use to her new surroundings.  She is confused right now and looking for her family, but with time she will move forward.
Swemi walks nicely on a leash.

Sweet Otto made his way to us from a family that cared for him after he was dumped on their property.  We have no information about his past.  He is a very nice boy but very scared at this time.  Obviously all of the changes have him unsettled.  He is now in a caring foster home being provided with comfort and time to decompress.  Once Otto has settled in we will post updates. 

Otto's foster reports that being in a home seems new to him.  He is frightened by the stairs and going through doorways.  He has no idea what to do with toys.  He has come out of his shell with one of the resident dogs, they enjoy romping around and playing.  His foster dad is working with him daily to help him become more confident.

Otto is continuing to make progress; he has mastered stairs and is getting calmer going through doorways.  He gets along well with the four large  GSDs in his foster home.  When Otto first arrived in his foster home, he would constantly hide in the back of his crate and had to be urged out for any activities. Otto has become much more confident over the last two weeks; he is comfortable wandering the house, taking walks around the property and prefers to nap in the corner of the living room rather than in his crate.  Over the last couple of days he started to play with chew toys and is taking tentative first steps playing fetch.  Although shy with new people, he is very affectionate and attentive with his foster.  

Arrow was found on a road with his leg severely broken, dragging it.  He was rushed to the emergency vet but unfortunately there was nothing that could be done to save his leg.  His leg was amputated 10/15/2017.  He is doing very well as a tri-paw, he gets around, can climb up and go for walks.  He is such a sweet and loving boy, he smoothers everyone he meets in kisses.  He is resting comfortably in a foster home recovering from his surgery.  As the trip was long to get Arrow to us, we were very blessed to have a pilot and his wife with Pilots and Paws fly round trip to pick him up to get him to us.  He did so well on his very first flight and greeted everyone with tail wags and kisses.  Once his sutures are removed Arrow will be free to live life like any 4 legged dog.  Tri-paws adapt very quickly and do not let a missing leg hold them back.  Ask to meet this special boy, we are sure he will amaze you and steal your heart.

Gatlin, puppy to a female GSD and male Great Pyrenees, was dumped at a shelter.  Gatlin cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little boy, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses.  Gatlin has a lot to learn about going a good canine citizen and will require training.  Please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family - puppies are a 10-12 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, Gatlin will become even more of an amazing boy than he already is.  If interested and he sounds like a good match for your family, please submit an adoption application for Gatlin!

Sam is a very handsome 8 year old male GSD.  He has not been well cared for up until now, he is underweight and entered the shelter covered in fleas.  Life has changed for the better, he is now receiving good nutrition, he has been treated for the flea infestation and he is much loved by our rescue.  Now all that Sam needs is a family who will love him and provide proper care for his lifetime.  Please consider Sam for your family, he deserves a new start at a better life.

Rigger is a mature boy at 5 years old, he is finished with the puppy antics, chewing etc.. He still has energy and enjoys walks and exercise. He does well with other dogs. He can be aloof which is often time a characteristic of GSD's. Training will go along way in helping him bond with his new family, along with learning more about each other.

Baileys person moved and could not afford the airfare to fly him to Hawaii. He was left with her family but sadly they did not take very good care of him. His person reached out to us as she wanted him away from the bad life his was living.

Bailey arrived in our care under weight, full of fleas, long nails and with no vaccines. He is having everything done at our vets and will be going into a foster home. As you can see by his face he has a worried look which is understandable. He was nervous at the vets office wanting to get away but when he realized he couldn't he laid down and hid his face. We have promised him his future will be much better, being loved and cared for. He is a gentle soul.

Star came to from a shelter so we have no history for her.  In our care she has been friendly and well mannered.  Of course she will need training, guidance and structure from her new family, along with time to settle in to a new home.

Shiloh was returned to us as his family is going through life altering changes and can no longer provide for him as needed. However, he was very much loved by them and he was very attached to them. Upon Shiloh's return, he showed signs of being reactive to strangers and protective of his family. He was also reactive to other dogs. However, he was very friendly, comfortable with and trusting of his family and their bond was evident. He is currently with a reputable trainer so that he can become better socialized and we will provide further updates as we get them from the trainer.

Supra, along with Diesel, are a bonded pair. They love and enjoy each other very much.  They play nicely with one another, enjoy sleeping together and even try hanging out in a crate together.  They need some work on their leash skills which is being worked on.  They are housebroken, ride well in the car and are crate trained.  They spent a few hours in downtown Annapolis, MD and at the Naval Academy Sunday.  They handled the crowds of people of varying ages well and numerous other dogs of varying sizes.  They had no reaction to skateboards, motorcycles, cars, boats, or going up and down stairs.  Diesel enjoys playing fetch with a ball and Supra enjoys chasing Diesel as he goes for the ball.  They truly are wonderful, easy, good temperaments and enjoy affection.  We feel it is in their best interest to be adopted together, so if you have room in your heart and home for this duo please ask to meet them

Cyrus is very puppylike. He does know how to sit and give paw. But he needs general obedience. He is a fun, smaller guy that would greatly benefit from group training so that he learns how to socially interact with other dogs.

He loves people. He loves to play fetch with a ball and is eager to explore new things. He likes car rides, is very food motivated and is eager to please his person.

He will need someone with patience and time to teach him right from wrong. Because he's a little grabby and hard on the fingers when it comes to taking treats, he might be better suited in a household without toddlers or very young children.

Cooper was saved from horrible conditions where he lived wth the breeder.  He was the last left of a litter and unwanted because he is deaf.  His guardian angel saved him and surrendered him to us to find his forever home with a family that will cherish him regardless of the fact he is deaf. Training a deaf dog can be done wth hand signals and a vibration collar.  He is adorable, full of life, puppy playfulness and antics.

Adele came to us from a shelter where she found herself with her 2 pups, Sommer and Faye.  Adele is somewhat unsure of the changes in her life, but she is in the care of a loving a foster who will assure her that she is safe and life will be good from now on.  She will need time to adjust to a new family, along with confidence building.  Training will of course help with this and create a bond with her family.  Please ask to meet this petite beauty.
