Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Ozzie's former person took ill and was no longer able to care for  him.  He was brought to the VA area by a family member and is now in our care looking for his forever family.  Ozzie is a very big boy at 94 lbs  He has undergone formal training but will require further training with his new family.  He has not lived with dogs before but did well meeting another German Shepherd during our evaluation.  Ozzie does have the tendency to herd (nip at) children, for this reason we feel it is best that he not be placed in a home with young children.  A boy of this size can be intimating to small children and he could also accidentally knock them down.  For the most past Ozzie's former person exercised Ozzie on daily 2 mile walks and lots of games of fetch.  Daily exercise is key to  keep energy in check, so please be sure you have the time to commit to his exercise needs, training and of course a lifetime of love and care.

Harleigh was a stray and taken to a shelter.  She is good with other dogs, She is a little shy, but she is just getting to know us.  She is a petite girl, but very beautiful and easier to handle then the larger Shepherds.   

Manning made his way to us after sitting in a shelter as a stray.  We have no information on him prior to him coming into our care.  He is a friendly boy, he enjoys the company of other dogs.  He needs sometime to settle in to his new life and get use to all of the changes, but he seems to be taking it all in stride.  Manning is now looking for a forever family and a soft bed in his new home.

Jack came to us with no prior history, so we are getting to know him.  He can be a little unsure of new things and people which results him hiding.  But once comfortable with his person he becomes a 75 lb. lap dog.  He will flourish with training and guidance, this will help him build a bond with his family and relax so that he can enjoy the world around him.  He does have a lot of strength and no leash manners, this is something that needs to be worked on.  If you are looking for a handsome boy and don't mind a large lap dog to cuddle with then Jack is your boy

Reuger is a young, handsome boy who has been through basic obedience training.  It is imperative that he continues training with his new family.  Reuger is not good with small dogs and will not be placed in a home with small dogs.  In his previous home he had escaped the home through an opened door and an electric fence going after small dogs in the neighborhood.  He did live with a cat, getting along fine as long as the cat did not run around.  He also lived with a female GSD and was fine with her.  Reuger does play rough with other dogs, so another dog in the home must be playful and accepting of rough housing.  Reuger also has the tendency to get mouthy with people when he is overly excited.  Training, structure and direction can help with these behaviors.  Reuger will do best with experienced GSD people, who have the time and knowledge to work with him. 

Peggy came to us from a shelter where she was a stray so we have no back history on her.  She has been friendly and easy to handle since arriving in our care.  She of course needs training to help her learn good manners and to learn what is expected of her.  Training is also good socialization with other people and dogs, which this breed requires.

Red made his way to us from a shelter where he was surrendered.  Unfortunately we do not have any back history on him.  Since being in our care he has been friendly and pretty laid back.  If you are looking for a refined gentleman to go for leisurely strolls, spend time hanging out, that is past the high energy level of a adolescent dog then Red is the boy for you. 

Annie came to us a surrender as her former person was not properly caring for her.  His family intervened knowing that Annie deserved a better life, one filled with love and care.  Annie is in a loving foster home where she lives with children.  She has adjusted well to her foster home and family.  

Samson came to us as an owner surrender as his former person could no longer care for him due to personal health issues.  Samson is shy when when meeting new people, he requires a little time to check you out.  He is good with children and other dogs, but prefers his home be cat free.  Samson needs to build up his confidence, socialization along with training will help him, along with structure.  He is in a foster home adjusting to the changes in his life.

Murphy made his way to us from a shelter where he was a stray.  We have no past history for him, so we are getting to know him.  He requires a slower approach when meeting new people.   He is in need of training which will help him learn good manners, build his confidence and bond with his new family.

Annie along with Essie were turned into a shelter after their human mom took ill and could no longer care for them.  They were much loved and well cared for.  They have lived their entires lives together, so we are hoping a very special family will find room in their hearts and homes for them both.  Essie is more outgoing than Annie.  Annie more independent and can be aloof.   Don't let their age fool you, these girls have spunk, enjoying walks and playtime

Ramsay made his way to our care from shelter, where he ended up as a stray.  Ramsay is a handsome, approximate 2 year old male GSD mix.  He takes a brief moment to warm up to new people, but once he does he quickly becomes your best friend.  He likes to lean into his person, enjoys being petted and being with his family.  He is a strong boy and pulls quite a bit when being walked, training will help this along with helping him learn good canine manners. 

Baylor is a sweet, well mannered boy.  He is a good size to handle and snuggle with.  He's a little shaken up by the recent changes in his life, but he is settling in.  Baylor would love to have a family of his very own, the comforts of  a soft bed, the love and care a forever family. 

Olaf is an affectionate boy, he enjoys time with his family.  He is housebroken and crate trained.  He was in a foster home previously living with other dogs, cats and children, he did fine with all.  In his adoptive home he lived with another dog and for reasons unknown he would bark at her incessantly at times.  He would go to a dog park, but would want to herd the other dogs, along with barking at them.  For this reason Olaf would not be a dog that should go to a dog park.  Olaf has had basic obedience training, but further training is needed.  Olaf has energy to burn, so a backyard for him to run and play would help his energy.  Walks, runs and working on his training will help him both physically and mentally burn energy.  

Jagger was not well cared for in his previous home, he also was not well socialized or provided with any training.  Jagger will need a adopter that has experience with the breed and has the time and energy to devote to his training.  He takes sometime to warm up to new people, so a slow approach is best with this big boy.  High value treats are a great way to his heart.  Guidance from his new family, ongoing socialization and a good training program will help young Jagger become a well rounded boy. 

Lolly was dumped at a shelter extremely emaciated. Doing some research her original owner was found. Lolly was given away in Dec and ended up in a shelter in March. She has gained some weight but still needs more. She is such a sweet and loving girl. Lolly 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.

Lolly is now receiving the enzymes she needs and is gaining weight. Please do not let EPI deter you from considering Lolly, she deserves a family to love and care for her and in return she will give you her devotion.

Dietra came to us as an owner surrender.  She was much loved by her previous family which included young children and a male GSD.  Dietra is a very sweet girl who is in need of a family of very own.  Dietra did arrive in our care not putting weight on her rear leg, we had her seen by our vet who recommended she be seen by a orthopedic specialist.  Dietra has an appointment scheduled for this coming week to see the specialist in order to find out, if anything, is wrong with her leg.  Once we know we will post an update. 

King made his way to us after he was confiscated by Animal Control for running at large and lack of proper care.  He is approximately 4 years old.  He is a little shy upon first meeting new people, but he quickly warms up and leans in to be petted.  He seems to be a very nice boy that just needs stability, love and care.
