About

Meet Dizzy

DESCRIPTION: On a stormy night early in December, animal control officers were called to help a dog that was running loose in the rain and seemed distressed. When officers arrived, they discovered the dog was wearing an e-collar that was repeatedly shocking him and was in pain. Recognizing this guy needed help immediately, animal control officers didn't waste any time. They removed the e-collar and took the dog to a local shelter. Free from the device and ready to begin moving forward, the dog, who had been named Dizzy, began waiting for his family to come and claim him. When no one came forward, shelter staff began looking for a forever family that would provide Dizzy with the time, patience, leadership, and love that all GSDs deserve. Although he was cleared for adoption, they knew that this big guy, like all shepherds, would be best placed with a breed specific rescue. When they reached out to us for help, we knew Dizzy was the perfect match for the MAGSR family.  Delightful Dizzy is a friendly guy who seems to have a love for life. Happy, playful, and active, this guy tends to greet visitors with a loose, wiggly body, but can be too excited and do some jumping. Socialized somewhere along his journey, Dizzy seems to know that people are good, kind, and often have plenty of treats. Familiar with a leash, Dizzy has enjoyed his walks at the shelter and with his foster family. He is learning to tone down the pulling, but in some ways he feels he can't help himself. A true nose dog, Dizzy enjoys long walks with his sniffer to the ground. There is simply so much to take in in the world around him that he doesn't want to miss a beat. Training will go a long way with Dizzy. Not only will it help him create a strong, healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the manners needed to become a good canine citizen. Both treat and toy motivated, Dizzy will be the star of training class.  Although we do not know much about his past, we do know that Dizzy's future is bright. He has displayed some environmental confidence and positive social interest when greeting other dogs. He has also shown a solid foundation of confidence and some stability. Playful, intelligent, and half-convinced he's an 80lb lap dog, Dizzy is looking for an active forever family that will love him for a lifetime. If this goofy guy sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet Dizzy today!
