Chloe - Rescue In Need - On Medical Hold
Chloe is an active and playful 2 year old harlequin female with natural ears and nothing to give but love. She came into rescue during the Holiday Moratorium and is off to a rocky start. Unfortunately she was diagnosed with a torn ACL and will need surgery and extensive recovery to bounce back to her playful and energetic self. She was surrendered to MAGDRL due to fighting in the home with other female dogs. We don’t know who started any of the tiffs, but we do know Chloe has been nothing but a gentle lady in her foster home. Within the first couple days her foster noticed a weird gate in her and monitored her for improvements. Chloe, although happy and sweet and anxious to greet all humans, was having a tad bit of issues maneuvering the 3 stairs to outside for potty. Her foster took her to the vet the day after Christmas and low and behold… we find out her ACL is in need of repair. Any of you that have a giant breed puppy know they live to run and play and zoomies are a Dane’s best friend. It will take months before our sweet Chloe has the chance to live out her dreams and run like no one is watching. Due to the nature of the surgery and time for recovery, Chloe will be on medical hold for the near future. Chloe came to MAGDRL in December 2019. (5)
Chloe’s surgery is expected to cost over $3,000.
We are accepting donations to help defray the medical bills of our Rescues in Need. Thank you for caring.

Levi
Levi is an absolute treasure -- don't be fooled by the cropped ears and black coat; though his looks are intimidating, he is one of the most affectionate and sweet dogs I've met. He is a 4 year old Black male Dane. He has the perfect blend of energy and Dane laziness. He will go into the yard and chase the jolly ball or play tug of war for 20-30 minutes, then take a 3 hour nap. Levi has some basic training, including sit, shake, and will even drop the ball at your feet to throw it again (see video!). Levi is both crate and house-trained. He does tend to counter surf and will need a home that will work with him on this. Levi wants nothing more than to curl up with you and watch TV!
Levi has had his home life "shaken up" with moves, and gone from a home with lots of dogs to no dogs. He's adjusted well to being an only dog, but he definitely is eager to interact with other dogs, including run with the neighbor's dog up and down the fence line. In his previous home, he played VERY rough with an older female Dane, and if placed in a home with another dog, will likely need some vigilant training to make sure he learns how to play nicely. As an only dog, he has acclimated quite well and is able to get out his playful energy with his foster humans. Because he's gone through a lot of transition, Levi was initially nervous and shy in the foster home. He reacts to quick movements or even reaching out for pets by shying away, but he's quickly warmed up. Levi very much wants and enjoys human affection and will spend hours cuddled with you watching TV.
Levi’s manners are a little rough around the edges and we want to ensure he learns some better ones so there will be a training contract as part of his adoption. Levi came to MAGDRL in February (5).

Pandora-Courtesy Listing
The beautiful Miss Pandora is still looking for her perfect forever home. She’s been in foster care since April and was overlooked for puppies and younger dogs we had in our care. It’s a new year and it’s going to be her year! Pandora is a 6 year old female that is spayed and has had her stomach tacked (preventative only- no stomach issues). She is good with other dogs and we feel she would do best in a home with another male dog. Pandora loves her human foster siblings, too! She’s a dream on the leash, absolutely ZERO pulling, completely housebroken and trustworthy outside of the crate, although she really likes the crate. Certain toys she really gets excited about and she’s always happy to cuddle up on a comfy bed. She also enjoys going for walks and car rides. Pandora can be slow to warm up to men and some men she will just completely ignore. However, she has never exhibited any aggression to a human. She really is a perfect dog and deserves a family to call her own!
