Please read if you are thinking of adopting a dog or pup from us.
We have been overwhelmed by the numbers of inquiries and applications we receive once a pup becomes available for adoption. Within minutes our inbox is filling up with applications for the ONE puppy! Our procedure has always been to process applications on a first come/first served basis. It is the only way to guarantee fairness. Our application process remains the same as always with admin approval, reference checks, home visits etc. and we are not changing the process because of the increase in demand for puppies! Just because someone is the first applicant, does not necessarily mean they will be approved. We accept several applications for each dog/pup and then we STOP ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS.
We understand the frustration involved for people trying to adopt a new family member and not having their applications accepted because we have received so many already. It is frustrating to our volunteers as well to have to pass on bad news to people who are hoping to adopt.
Please understand that our volunteers are all doing their best to answer inquiries and process applications in a timely and thorough manner. Thank you!

MASR would like everyone to know that we take pandemic concerns very seriously. We follow all current public health orders and expect the same from any interested applicants. While we wish to stick with our long established policies regarding adoption applications, we have adapted some of our procedures to insure that safety for all is always our priority.
Thank you all for your continued support and understanding during these tough times. Stay well everyone!

PLEASE do some research about dogs in general and German Shepherds in particular before deciding you want one. All puppies are cute and lovable but if you don't understand the history & purpose of the breed, you won't be prepared for the reality of a German Shepherd or Shepherd cross pup. They are known worldwide for their unmatched loyalty, their endless courage and stamina, and their devotion to their family. BUT they are a remarkably intelligent dog that require a calm consistent leader to teach them manners and we have to EARN that loyalty we all desire. German Shepherds are a member of the Herding Group. Their original purpose was to provide protection to herds of sheep. They are naturally protective and also driven to "herd". As puppies, they are rough, very high drive, nipping little alligators. Chasing anything is FUN and many Shepherds are "prey" driven which means, cats and rabbits and birds are all "fair game" to your puppy. You MUST be prepared to accept the challenge that a Shepherd or Shepherd cross pup will provide you with or please don't apply for one. A dog should be for LIFE, and all family members should be onboard with expectations of acceptable behavior and responsibility. We can offer guidance and direction but be prepared to engage the support of a professional trainer if you are new to owning a Shepherd or Shepherd cross pup or adult. The amount of effort a person puts into any dog or pup will determine the outcome of owning one of these amazing animals.
Important information about our spay/neuter policy.
Today I am sharing an important post for anyone who is considering adopting a dog or puppy from us. We are a rescue which means that 1) every single one of us are volunteers and that 2) every single one of us care deeply about each and every animal that crosses our path. We aren't the biggest or best known rescue, we aren't even the longest in operation here in Manitoba, although we are close. But we have been donating our time, our efforts, our knowledge for almost 16 years now. It's a LOT of work but it is worth it for the hundreds and hundreds of dogs we have helped. We believe in the value of EVERY SINGLE dog, this is not a numbers game or a competition. From the moment we say "yes, we can help", until the moment a dog goes to his/her forever home, we devote everything we have to that individual dog or puppy. We feed only good quality food and we provide top-notch veterinary care, regardless of our current bank account. We provide full vaccinations and heartworm protection and everything else that pops up. Our foster homes and forever homes are checked thoroughly. And we provide extensive detailed information to our fosters and our adopters. Basically we do everything we know in order to offer the very best care we can to each and every dog we meet, FOREVER.
Having said all that, there is one area that we know we can improve on and that is delaying all spays and neuters until after a dog or puppy has reached maturity. The research supporting this has been available for decades, this is nothing new. The hormones responsible for many things important to the health and development of dogs are lost once the animal has been altered. These hormones play such an important part in the overall wellbeing of each and every dog. (I don't need to go into all the details - if you are interested, there is a huge amount of information online.) Being a rescue though means that we are expected to alter everything, and we certainly do and always have. But we alter at a date chosen to give the dog the best possible opportunity to develop properly. Our contract currently states that we will schedule altering after 7 months for females and 10 months for males, but we are changing this, effective immediately. We are scheduling all dogs now for dates after they have reached their one year birthday.
What does this mean for you, our future adopters? Well, it means that if you adopt a female pup from us, chances are that she may have a heat cycle before she is spayed. If you aren't willing to "deal with" a heat cycle, don't adopt a female. It's a normal part of maturing for all females, and it is a question of making certain sacrifices for approximately 3 weeks THAT WILL BENEFIT YOUR DOG FOR THE REMAINDER OF HER LIFE. Simple really. Same with males. Male dogs may typically mark things... again, perfectly normal dog behavior. If you can't bear to have a dog mark things, don't adopt a male (some females mark as well but most often it is males). If you aren't willing to teach your male dog what is appropriate marking (trees) versus what is not appropriate (furniture), don't adopt a male. We have been pushing this information since the day we started and have delayed spays and neuters for as long as possible with our adopters. Nothing really has changed except that we are now making it official that the one year mark is our new minimum age. This will hopefully be a deterrent to adopters who wish for Fido to never fully mature. Our Fidos certainly will. We are not worried about accidental litters. To date we have not had even one "whoops" litter in any of our dogs. Because there really is no need or excuse for an unwanted pregnancy if you adopt to responsible people. And we will all continue to work hard to insure that our dogs only go to responsible, loving, committed homes.
We are hoping that people committed to the individual health and wellbeing of each and every dog, whether purebred champion or rescued stray recognize this as a step in the right direction for the overall health and longevity of every single pup. Thank you to everyone who recognizes this post for what it is - a rescue comprised of people who genuinely care, not just for today but for all days.

From the beginning, 16 years ago, our commitment to each and every dog has remained the same. To get them into our care where they are safe. To provide them with the best we can offer in nutrition, the best we can offer in veterinary care, providing them each with guidance, boundaries and structure. This is a basic necessity for all dogs but especially important for the previously unwanted, the fearful, the abused and/or neglected. And love. The love poured into our dogs by our amazing foster families has helped many a dog forget their less than ideal past.
Beautiful Rex didn't have a great start. And his life went from bad to worse when his owner passed away. Rex was an outdoor dog, living his entire life on one small plot of land. Never went anywhere and never exposed to so many things we all take for granted. Not abused physically but never socialized, never played with, never kept company on cold winter nights. He was just "there". After his owner died, extended family tried to help and brought Rex to Winnipeg. That didn't work out well - Rex went from a life of basic isolation to a busy home with multiple people, multiple other dogs/pets, etc. We were contacted because it was not working well at all and poor Rex had nowhere or nobody left to go to. We placed Rex into a quiet foster home with a young couple and one happy, balanced female dog. We started medical care immediately. Rex's transition was slow and filled with many ups and downs. Medically he was suffering from multiple ailments. Stress had him self mutilating and fear had him biting. But we didn't give up. Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and now, almost a year later, here is our beautiful boy. No longer stressed and harming himself, no longer snapping out as a method of feeling safe. Rex has learned the joy and safety of being part of a family. He understands play now. He knows the comfort of a soft sofa to lay old tired bones on.
Rex is a senior dog and because he still has medical issues and dietary restrictions, and mainly because he deserves to live the rest of his life where he knows he is loved, we decided that Rex will remain one of MASR's permanent foster dogs. He will remain for the rest of his days, however long that may be, with his foster family who he has grown to love and cherish.
Rescue is so much more than a verb. It is a promise and we intend to always keep our promises to these deserving creatures.

Meet Beautiful Chrissy!
Chrissy is a spayed female Shepherd cross pup who just turned 2 years old.
Chrissy has now been in our care for one year and is patiently waiting for a family of her own.
Weighing in at 62 pounds, Chrissy has been described as "fun sized". Chrissy was originally from a rural area where she was found as a wee baby, fending for herself. Loved and cared for during her first 12 months of life, her owner surrendered Chrissy to us to offer her a better life.
Chrissy is house and crate trained, walks well on a leash, sits, shakes a paw and has good recall. She gets along well with most male dogs after a suitable introduction.
Chrissy would make a wonderful companion for some lucky person or family. She is slightly reserved with strangers but very loving and affectionate with her people.
She has a high prey drive so a home without young children or small pets would be best.
If you would like to meet this wonderful young girl, please complete our online application at:

From Rags to Riches
Beautiful senior boy Rex, our current FOREVER FOSTER. Came into our care as a badly "broken" boy with too many health and behavioral issues to list, including anxiety driven self-mutilation and fear driven aggression.
Placed into a loving foster home with a four-legged "sister" to show him the ropes and patient, dedicated foster "mom" & "dad", and look at him now doing a treat search! He has been a great "big brother" to another fostered puppy, he has travelled on a family vacation meeting extended family and learned the joys that can bring.
Rex is now living and loving life.
NEVER give up!

Rex came into our care last March after his Saskatchewan owner passed away. Rex had been an outside dog for his entire 8 years of life and once his owner passed away, he was basically alone outside for two long stressful months, waiting for his "Dad" to return. Finally, extended family made the trip from Winnipeg and picked him up, hoping to integrate him into their family. Unfortunately the family's other four-legged residents and Rex couldn't get along and we were contacted to help. We knew that placing this boy would prove challenging. He suffered from multiple physical and emotional ailments. His entire "world" had been a farmyard and one person. He had no exposure to so many things we all take for granted. Travel, televisions, kettles, phones, other dogs, children, other people, period. We placed him in a very committed foster home where his anxiety induced behavior certainly caused some challenges. But this foster family never gave up on Rex and neither did we. Several vet visits, special veterinary diet, then homemade diet, multiple medications and supplements, and LOTS of love & patience. Exposure to new things, always in a calm and safe manner. A "bestie" female Keeshond who showed Rex the ropes. And toys! LOTS of toys! For a dog who had no idea of what a toy was, Rex sure discovered the joy a simple toy can provide. Look at him now. No more self-mutilation, no more fear induced biting... just a happy healthy dog enjoying his life!
Rex isn't our first "forever foster" and may not be our last, there really is no way to know. What we do know though is that whatever it takes, our amazing team of heroes just keeps on giving these wonderful creatures their second chance. One special dog at a time.
