Rose came back to MAGDRL in February 2024 Cats: Unknown with cats Dogs: Good with Dogs Kids: Good with children Rose is an 8 year old blue female who was returned to MAGDRL when her owner was hospitalized and could no longer care for her. Rose is the sweetest girl and was so sad when we met her in her home, missing her owner and being left for long periods waiting for her owner to return home. Sadly that was not to be. The family did their best to care for Rose but she was not getting the time and attention she deserved so they decided it was best to return Rose to MAGDRL. Rose is in a foster home with a male Dane and a senior female lab mix. Her foster mom has many visiting dogs of all sizes, male and female and Rose is great with everyone. Rose just loves to hang with her people and get the love and attention a senior lady should. She is very low maintenance. Rose is good on a leash, trustworthy in the house and good with everyone. Please consider giving Rose a forever home to spend the rest of her golden years. She will return the love tenfold.

Storm came to MAGDRL in May 2023 Cats: Not good with cats Dogs: No other Dogs Kids: Children 12+ Storm is a 2 year old big blue neutered and gastropexied male Dane with natural ears. Storm was given up because he is a big strong boy with the energy of a young Dane and too much for his owners to handle. Storm LOVES people, he is happy to meet anyone, male or female and is all wags and kisses. Storm loves to play and will empty his toy box playing with each and every one of them. Storm was living with another neutered male Dane but they did have a few issues over food, but nothing else. He takes treats very nicely. He is house and crate trained and not destructive. He loves car rides and does well in the car. Storm has a very high prey drive and is difficult to walk on a leash since he is so strong. Storm was in foster care and was loving and sweet with his foster mom. He is getting the training he needs so he can be controlled more easily when on leash. He will not be placed with another dog or small animals. He needs a family looking for someone to cuddle because he is so affectionate, someone experienced with giant breeds, with a large fenced yard for exercise. He is in training with a professional trainer who will continue to work with whoever adopts him to be sure to maintain his manners on a leash.
Lionel came to MAGDRL in April 2023 Cats: Good with cats Dogs: Selective with Dogs Kids: Good with children 8+ Lionel is a 5 year old dark merle neutered male with natural ears who was surrendered to MAGDRL from a shelter. He had been brought up from the south from a shelter there and the local shelter felt he would do better in a breed specific rescue so Lionel came to us. Lionel was living in a foster home with 2 cats previous to coming to us and is currently in a foster home with a cat. Lionel is doing great in his foster home and is a very affectionate boy. He is very happy to meet and make new friends. Lionel could use some work on commands and he needs leash work. His foster mom is working on those things. Lionel can be reactive when he sees other dogs but when tested with a female Dane he did eventually calm down and just wanted to sniff her all over. Lionel is crate trained and travels well in the car. He is trustworthy in the house. Lionel is very good with meeting children, he gets very happy and his tail wags his whole body when she sees them. We are unaware if he ever lived with children but he definitely likes them. Lionel would probably do best as an only dog, but may be able to live with a large female with slow integration. He sure is one handsome boy and as sweet as they come. Updated May 2023 Lionel has been in his foster home for several weeks and is doing great! He is so loving and affectionate and tolerant of the pesky kitten who loves to chase his tail. We cannot believe he has had little interest, he will be such a loving and calm companion for someone. All he needs is someone to cuddle with and some exercise a couple of times per day. He can use some work on his leash manners but is very manageable for anyone with Dane experience. Dane lovers, you are missing out if you pass up this boy!
Ranger came to MAGDRL in May 2022 Cats: Good with cats Dogs: Prefers to be the only dog Kids: Good with children 8+ Ranger has been safely recovering and blossoming back to health in his foster home for about 2 weeks now. His bloodwork is all almost entirely back to normal. He is no longer accumulating air or fluid in his stomach or intestines. His incision is almost entirely closed and has no more drainage and he is off of all medications. Ranger is also eating like a champ and feeling better and better every day. His activity has been gradually increased over time and Ranger loves his walks. Ranger is best friends with his foster sister, who is a large female mixed breed with a matched energy level to his. But sometimes Ranger likes to get her riled up to play and then suddenly has enough and walks away, his foster mom calls him “the instigator”. Ranger loves the cat in his foster home although sometimes he loves a little too much, fortunately the cat lets him know when he’s crossing the line and Ranger is respectful and backs off with the hissing and swatting of a cat who has reached her tolerance limit.

Pluto came to MAGDRL in March 2023 Cats: Unknown Dogs: Selective with Dogs Kids: Good with children 8+ Pluto is a sweet 4-year-old fawn, neutered male with natural ears. Pluto is a very large/tall Dane who was surrendered to MAGDRL as the owners were unable to care for him. He came to us already with knee issues that most likely were from an old injury that was never treated. While in foster care, his knee issues are being treated by medication, cold laser therapy, supplements, daily walks, and proper nutrition. Pluto is thriving and has improved in his short time with the foster family. Pluto currently is living with a family of 4 that include 2 teenagers. Pluto is a gentle, sweet boy with his human foster family and other people, but he is unknown with younger/smaller children. He is a silly dog and loves his pink toy elephant. When he gets the zoomies or excited, he wiggles his butt in excitement. He is a very strong boy, and his foster family is working on boundaries and leash manners. Pluto is not crate trained and does not like the crate however he has shown to be trustworthy in the home when no one is there and will lay on the floor or on his dog bed. He will bark when his family leaves him at first but then settles down. He has not shown any food aggression and takes food easily from his foster parents. He will allow his foster parents to take his food bowl away without any problems. Pluto is also living with a smaller, older female Dane. Pluto had some issues with the female Dane within the first week of the foster family having him. The foster family has been working on this and Pluto has improved in his short time with the foster family. Both Pluto and his foster Dane “sister” can be in the same room together, sleep in the same room together, and they go on walks together without any problems. When left alone in the home, the dogs are kept separate and this has worked well for them. Pluto is a sweet boy who just wants attention and love. He follows his foster parents around and wants to be always by someone’s side. He is a true velcro Dane. Pluto loves a car ride (though needs help getting in the car) and he loves his walks, but most of all he loves naps, he is a couch potato. Pluto needs a family that will continue to work on his boundaries and training and doesn’t mind a Dane with some mobility issues. He would do best in a home with few stairs and would love to be an only dog.
Calli came to MAGDRL in November 2022 and is a Rescue in Need Cats: Unknown Dogs: Good with dogs Kids: Good with children 8+ Calli is a 4-year-old blue female with natural ears who was surrendered to MAGDRL from a shelter after her owners passed away. We believe she is spayed because she was living with an intact male, also surrendered to us, and she has no sign of ever having puppies. Calli is a tall, beautiful girl but has very a very bad condition of her eyes called “cherry eye”. Both eyes are affected, and she will need surgery to correct this as it is obstructing a significant part of her vision. Although her eyes are unsightly, her sweet affectionate personality will steal your heart in a moment. Calli is being fostered in a home with both large and small dogs, male and female and gets along with everyone. We have no history of her with children. Calli will need to see a specialist, a veterinary ophthalmologist who specializes in canine eye issues. Once her eye surgery is done, she will be a wonderful companion for some lucky adopter. Please see our Rescues In Need page for more information
Hugo came to MAGDRL in August 2022. Cats: Good with cats Dogs: Good with dogs Kids: Good with children 8+ Hugo is a 2-3 year old Blue Piebald Male Great Dane with natural ears who came to MAGDRL from a shelter. We don’t have much history on Hugo but we can see he is a sweet boy who seems to like everyone he meets. Hugo has been neutered and gastropexied and currently is in a foster home with a senior male Labrador and a cat and has integrated nicely with both of them. Hugo does know some commands but is strong and needs work with leash manners. Hugo would love a family of his own that will love him and work on helping him to be the best he can be. Updated November 2022. Hugo has been in his new foster home for almost a month now. His foster home has found that he is highly food motivated and discovered he has been trained in hand signals, what a nice discovery! Hugo is super playful and has lots of energy. He loves other dogs and enjoys being around them, even very little ones! Hugo loves his walks and enjoys going to the dog park. He plays with rope toys, squeaky toys and loves marrow bones. He loves to rest on the landing of the stairs and watch what’s going on. He doesn’t particularly like his crate but will counter surf if he gets the opportunity, so while his foster home is working on this, he still needs to be crated. He gets very excited when it’s time to come out of the crate and his foster home will wait for him to calm and sit before opening the crate door. Other behaviors being working on is his barking at outside stimuli and he is learning the command “I got this” to settle his excitement at outside activity. Hugo is super affectionate and fully house trained. He will sleep on a dog bed and stay with his person thru the night so crating is only needed when no one is home. Hugo has made tremendous strides in his foster home and is ready for a family to call his own!
