The following listings show available dogs from LOCAL caring shelters, humane societies, or other rescue groups. These dogs are not part of the MAGSR program, but we list them because they are special and deserve a second look--and a second chance.
For more information on any of these dogs, please contact the listed party, not MAGSR.
If you are placing your dog in a new home please make sure the home he/she may go to is safe, loving, and dedicated. If contacted by anyone stating they are with any type of K9 department please contact your local police department K9 unit and inquire as to the reputation of that person/group/organization. Not all people using rank titles are indeed with a legitimate K9 unit and you could be placing your dog at risk.
I'm
beautiful to look at
And wonderful to hold,
But please don't adopt me
If you wont keep me 'til I'm old.
Good things come to those who wait.
The saying really is true.
Just give me a chance to be a good dog,
And I'll never stop loving you.
Adopting a dog is a lifetime commitment.
If you aren't prepared to work with your dog through the adjustment period
and beyond, please look no further. If you won't keep your dog if
you move or as your family grows, please look no further. If you
aren't prepared to nurse your dog back to health if he gets ill or if
she needs surgery, please look no further.
Rescue dogs have been through so much - dumped in shelters or found roaming
the streets. They have been abandoned, neglected, starved and possibly
physically abused. They need TIME, PATIENCE, UNDERSTANDING and LOVE
in order to succeed in their new homes. Sometimes it may take several
months for a rescue dog to make the adjustment to your home and family.
If you aren't 100% committed to making this work with your new dog, then
please don't adopt. Any adopter of a rescue dog who has been through
the adjustment period can tell you its worth it. No dog is perfect….just
like no human is perfect. Please don't expect too much too soon
from your new dog. We want every adoption to be a successful one.
That's why we are here to answer questions before and after each adoption,
but we can't do it without your commitment. Thank you.
If you'd like to have your dog posted here, please follow the instructiuons at this link.

Description: Faolan is 3 years old, spayed, house and crate trained. I think she understands the human language because she listens all the time. She is quiet, and will sit at your feet for hours. Faolan has been blind since birth and no one can tell unless we reveal this information. She is very intuitive when it comes to navigation, and she knows the words "step" and "wall!" Faolan is also a very good watch dog. Her only vice is that she does not get along with other dogs. and she annoys our family cat but does not hurt her.

Description: Sargent is a sweet 6-8 year old boy who is currently being fostered with another GSD (German Shepherd Dog) and a GSD mix. He comes to us as an owner surrender due to the inability to care for him any longer. Sargent is currently 10-15 pounds under weight due to not being fed properly and poor choice of food. His vet work shows him to be healthy despite the lack of good healthy nutrition. Sargent is great with children and other dogs but we do not yet know how he is with cats. There is no food aggression but he can be a little rough when playing with toys. He is house broken, rides well, but could use some work with leash walking. He wants to play and has the energy to do so! If interested please contact us at dogrescuemd@live.com or submit an adoption application that you can find at http://www.dogrescuemd.org/id18.html
UPDATE - Sargent is a wonderful dog. He has the energy of a puppy and the discipline of an older dog. He loves to play with his ball ball, he loves to play with his foster brother and sister and is just enjoying himself. He has put on some weight and looks fantastic, a very handsome German Shepherd and he is very gentle. If you're looking for a dog that your children can play with and not have to worry if the dog will bite them Sergent is the one. He is the type of dog that doesn't get upset if you pull his tail or trim his nails he just tolerates anything you want to do. I'm not suggesting anybody pull on his tail but kids sometimes forget. He does have a lot of energy and he does love to bark. Just his size alone and the loudness of his bark is enough to scare any would be intruder he makes a very good guardian dog for your home when you're not there but he is all bark and no bite.
