Available GirlsCheck out our Boys too>> Peyton (adoption pending)
Update 2/25/11: Peyton is a petite girl who's had a rough life--she was pulled from a shelter where she was found as a stray. Peyton is quite gentle with children of all ages, and is good with laid back dogs. As you can see from her pictures, she loves curling up on the couch and snoozing--please help this sweet dane out! When you first meet Peyton, you're struck by her sad sad eyes--they look as if she's seen it all and expects the worst. Unfortunately, Peyton's expectations have been met in rescue. She's had the worst luck in finding a forever home, and what is so surprising is that she's a very sweet and easy dane. She's well mannered, has a lovely personality and just needs someone to give her a chance. She's a true find. Peyton is easy to live with and enjoys her foster sister (a very laid back GS pointer). She's really great with the kids in the home as well, and enjoys hanging out with them and playing with them gently-she makes an excellent companion for kids. She walks very nicely on leash and has been great with a busy household. She's a nice petite girl who deserves a home of her own and a family to love her. She's also been tested with cats and would do fine with cats used to dogs and if not allowed to focus on them. Peyton recently had gold bead implants to resolve some spinal issues.
She's doing well and just needs a few walks a day and a steady routine.
She can't do a lot of stairs but a few are fine.

Drama
Update 2/27/2011: Drama is a shy mantle girl who lost her back leg due to a car accident. According to the shelter where we pulled her, this was not the first time Drama had been found wandering the neighborhood, but it did end in a very unforuntate accident. Lucky for Drama, the SPCA was able to save her, if not her leg. Her new foster home named her Drama as she has a way of dramatizing everything. Drama needs to build her confidence, and will need a home dedicated to encouraging her to make her own way. She does well with a gentle playmate and would benefit from a confident one. A big step forward for Drama is greeting visitors. When a fellow volunteer came to visit and take pictures, Drama greeted him appropriately. With some meatball bits and gentleness, Drama relaxed in less than 5 minutes. This, the girl who would bark, growl, and flee from any man! She's come a long way, baby! From her foster: Drama the Llama, Drama-Dairy, Dur-rhama ... I call her by all three and she comes running with tail wagging. If she's out in the back yard she streaks through the snow and vibrates with joy. She'll slink down like a cat as she runs, and she has learned to pivot on that one rear leg with a precision that is incredible.Her foster mom's blog chronicles all the drama of being Drama--to read more about Drama, click here>>
ChiChi
Update 2/25/10: ChiChi is a very happy playful 3 year old merle great dane/lab or dane/Catahoula mix. She is a great size at just 95 pounds. Chi gets along with almost every dog she's met, great and small, as well as cats. She loves to zoom around the yard, dodging trees and people and leaping over other dogs in her path! ChiChi will chase a thrown toy or ball and look at it with curiosity, but she doesn't know she is part Retriever, so she waits for you to retrieve it and throw it again. ChiChi knows all of her basic commands and will even sit and wait for her food bowl to be placed in her food stand. She is crate trained and is content to be in her crate when no one is home with her. Besides zooming around the yard, ChiChi's next favorite activity is sitting next to you to be petted, even when you are standing outside. She does tend to give you a big ole paw in case you didn't notice her sitting there waiting! ChiChi would do best in a home with another doggie companion, but
may not appreciate a crowd. Her BFF is a English Bulldog mix being
fostered as well. If the foster lets her out of the crate first,
she runs up to Jayden's crate, waiting for her to come out and play.
ChiChi is an affectionate girl who bonds closely with her special
person. She takes a bit to warm up to males but with patience and
gentleness, she comes around! ChiChi is housebroken, spayed and up to date on all vaccinations.
Cheyenne #2 (adoption pending)
Original 2/25/11: Cheyenne is a 2 yr old harle girl who came to MAGDRL from a local shelter, where she was turned in because her owner was no longer able to care for her properly due to health issues. In the shelter (and currently in the kennel), she was terrified and completely overwhelmed. She just could not adjust to the kennel environment. The minute she left shelter grounds, it was if a different dog appeared. Ms Cheyenne turned into a typical harle 2 yr old nut! Cheyenne is very good with kids and enjoys their company. She has also lived with cats in her original home. However, we have been unable to successfully introduce her to any dog-she barks and carries on when she sees them. As a result, we'll be looking for a home with no other dogs and working on leash manners with her. Cheyenne is friendly to people, and soon warms up o men and women
alike. She is up to date on her vaccinations and is scheduled to
be spayed last week in February. She is looking for a foster or
permanent home with no other dogs.
Zoe ***NEEDS A FOSTER HOME****
Original 4/30/11: Zoe is a gorgeous 2 year old harle girl who loves children. She gives lots of dane leans and baby kisses and will do anything for neck scritches while burying her head in your lap. Zoe greet visitors nicely and, while a bit unsure, she will approach for a better look at you and then is all leans and kisses. She can often be found curled up tight (head to tail) on a chair or ottoman, just being with her family. Zoe enjoys children and has lived with cats as well. While she's lived with a female dog in the past, she no longer gets along with her and has not been receptive to dogs she's met while in rescue. Zoe does well when gated in a room but doesn't like being crated. Her perfect family is one without other dogs, with cats and/or kids, and with a family that can love her and keep her busy. She's a diamond who just needs a bit of TLC to shine bright.
