DESCRIPTION:

Amazing Andora and her "A Litter" puppies (Annette, Aime, and Abu) were dumped at a crowded shelter. With limited resources and overwhelming numbers, the shelter could not provide for this family. Although they did everything they could to help all members of the family move forward, shelter staff knew that without rescue help, this family would likely be euthanized as spaces are simply not available. Fortunately, rescue groups began working together to help the entire family move forward safely. When asked if we could provide a safe place to land, we were lucky to be able to team up with another local group in order to ensure that all members of the family moved forward safely. 

Andora and her babies are friendly, interactive, and beyond lovable. As a pocket shepherd, Andora is in many ways a mini shepherd. Her lovely eyes and little tail wags simply fill your heart with joy. Having survived in a crowded, underfunded shelter, this little momma and her babies were granted a miracle and they know it. As Andora did an incredible job raising her babies, it is now time for her to move forward with a family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Clearly socialized with people, Andora has done well with everyone she has met. In new situations, she often needs a moment to adjust; however, with a little kindness and a slow hand, Andora can't help but start to wiggle and lean in for pets. This girl is clearly special. Now that she is in the MAGSR family, Andora is living with an incredible foster family that is teaching her the ins and outs of living in a loving home. She thrives with structure, routine, and leadership. Although Andora is learning about the joys of living in a home, it is important that her new family remember that she will need time to adjust to the routines and expectations of her forever family. With time and patience, we know Andora will meet with success. As Andora is still very young, it is important that her family enroll her in training. This is critical as training will provide Andora with opportunities to socialize, skill building strategies to build confidence, and the strategies needed to become a good canine citizen. Andora is looking for a forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this precious girl today!

Updates:

We nicknamed her Dori so she answers to either one. She certainly is a joy to be around. She is fully housebroken and is very quiet unless she senses danger. She melts the heart of anyone she meets. She’s learning to walk on a leash, and how to properly walk through doorways. She has very few bad habits that need to change. She gets along well with children and other dogs. She will become attached to you very quickly. She would love to have a family that would love her as much as she loves them. This is one special little girl.

DESCRIPTION:

Emmie and her seven adorable babies (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, Cal, Murray, and Babe) were dumped at an overcrowded shelter in the south. Although Emmie knew that her future was uncertain, she also knew that the 7 little ones (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, Cal, Murray, and Babe) that she brought with her were also in danger. As puppy season is in full swing, many furry families of all sizes are finding themselves in tough situations where, unfortunately, many animals do not make it out alive. Fortunately, for this special family, shelter staff began working with a network of rescues to find options, a loving foster family, and the medical support needed to move forward. MAGSR was lucky to have so many people pulling together to help this family move forward into our care. We are honored to move them forward. 

Emmie and her pups have been lucky to have lived in a loving foster family. This gave them all the opportunity to learn some of the ins and outs of living in a home. All of the babies did an incredible job with their foster family and have since moved onto foster homes where they are getting additional love and attention in smaller groups. Babe is friendly, interactive, and a snuggle bug. She loves her furry siblings but is also happy to hang out with her people. Having already begun socializing with new people, animals, and in new environments, Babe is already building a solid foundation. It is imperative that her family continue this process as she moves forward. Babe, like all dogs, will thrive in a home with structure, routine, and leadership. With the right set-up, we know this little love will be impressive. Although Babe is special, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, and training, Babe will become a stable and confident adult. Babe is looking for a forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

Updates:

Babe is an absolute fluffy love bug.  She is content to sit quietly and watch all the action in the house.  But don’t let her demure demeanor fool you - she will jump in to get into some rowdy play with her siblings too.  She is working on her potty training outside but is definitely a work in progress.  She is beginning to recognize those expectations but hey, she is only 10 weeks old, so she misses sometimes. Typical puppy - messes are expected!  She is also starting to work on leash walking a bit in the yard.  A whole bunch of neighborhood kiddos stopped by the fence to meet her yesterday and she was a friendly and social little gal, happy to kiss and receive rubs from many many little hands.

Babe is growing growing growing!  Her ears seem to be heading horizontal, on their way to vertical we think.   If she is not playing with our one year old GSD, she is knocked out rebooting and re-energizing.  She consistently goes potty outside.  She sleeps very nicely in a crate in our bedroom from about 10:00 to 5:30.

Babe is very curious and loves the challenge of puzzles with treats in them!  You will often find her with a stuffed animal or nylabone, or if left in the kitchen, a croc, in her mouth.  We are really looking forward to getting her out for walks once she finishes her shots – she loves to meet people and is very social!  She is ready and eager to explore the great big world outside of our fenced yard.

If you are looking for a snuggable, smart, curious fun-loving little lady, Babe may be just the pup you are looking for!

DESCRIPTION:

Animal control officers were asked to do a welfare check on a set of dogs in the south. When they arrived, they found three dogs living in deplorable conditions on tie-outs outside in the elements. All three dogs were extremely emaciated, covered in filth, heartworm positive and in need of immediate care. Due to the condition of the dogs, all three were confiscated instantly and brought into a shelter. Upon their arrival, staff members at the shelter began working with the dogs to tend to their most critical needs. However, they knew that these dogs would need a lot of help to move forward. Due to overwhelming numbers of dogs in need, all three dogs found themselves on the list to be euthanized as soon as their case was cleared. Another rescue was able to pull two of the dogs. However, lovely Libby was left without many options. Fortunately, our team learned of Libby's plight just hours before she was scheduled to cross and was able to move her to the safety of the MAGSR family.  

Libby is one special little lady. Although scared and unsure in the overcrowded shelter environment, Libby did well with a gentle hand, some extra patience, and plenty of treats. When out of her run and away from the chaos of the shelter environment, staff members noted that Libby has a calm demeanor and independence that make her a unique and endearing companion. Although Libby likes some time and space to herself, she is equally interested in interacting with her human companions. Libby can be shy and timid when first meeting new people, but when given the opportunity to develop trust, her loyalty knows no bounds. When around other dogs at the shelter, Libby maintained her polite composure and gentle interest. Before introducing her to any new furry companions, we have been giving Libby time to rest and heal with an incredible foster family. This has given her the opportunity to learn all about warm baths, good family, comfortable beds, and the routine of living in a home. We have promised Libby that we will make sure her forever family fills her world with endless days of comfort. 

Although she has been working toward recovery, when Libby first arrived in our care she was severely emaciated, filled with worms, suffering from a bad upper respiratory infection, and dealing with untreated heartworms. Since her arrival, our team has been working hard to make sure that Libby receives the attention and care she deserves to move forward in safety and comfort. Although Libby's medical care is expensive, we know she is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating to Libby's continued medical care. Not only will your donation help Libby continue to move forward, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs into the MAGSR family. When ready, Libby will be looking for a patient and loving forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that be with you? 

Updates:

There are some people and animals in the world that are simply filled with sunshine. Joy, happiness, and endless smiles are contagious when they are near. Libby is one of those special individuals, she embodies sunshine. Playful, inquisitive, and a complete goofball, Libby loves to bounce around after a ball and flops over quickly for a belly rub every chance she can get. It seems that no matter what comes her way, Libby's light just keeps shining even when it seems like there is an obstacle at every turn.

Over the last several months, our incredible team has been working hard to help Libby overcome several obstacles so that she could share her light with others. Obstacle number one - severe malnutrition. Libby joined the rescue at a mere 35lbs. Every bone in her body was visible; we were worried she may be too far gone. Knowing she needed help, our team quickly began working to provide good nutrition and a balanced program to help Libby move forward. She steadily gained weight over a few months and is now a healthy size. This was a huge obstacle as other medical care needed to wait until Libby gained strength. Obstacle number two - poor socialization with people. With positive human interactions at a minimum before arriving at the shelter last Fall, Libby lacked confidence and needed help to become a good canine citizen. One of our incredible training partners, Mason Dixon K9 stepped up to help Libby overcome this obstacle. She benefited greatly from their balanced approach and has completed her basic training. Libby still needs a little time to adjust to new people and situations; however, once comfortable, this girl shines. She can't wait to show off her skills to her forever family! Obstacle number three - mammary tumors. During a visit to the vet in January, it was discovered that Libby had mammary tumors. Without hesitation, Libby was scheduled for and underwent surgery. Unsurprisingly, she handled recovery like a champ. A lucky girl, everything came back benign and Libby began preparing for her next challenge. Obstacle number four - tooth damage. Having been starved prior to her arrival, Libby found herself desperate to fill her belly with basically anything she could find; this resulted in significant tooth damage to her front teeth on her lower jaw. With some teeth worn completely down to the pulp, oral surgery was needed to help Libby find relief. Knowing this was critical to her quality of life, our team worked closely with our vetting partners to ensure that Libby received the care she needed. Libby underwent surgery and had 8 teeth removed. Once again, Libby handled her recovery like a champ. Another obstacle down, with one left to go - heartworm treatment. MAGSR knew this piece of Libby's recovery would significantly improve her overall health and well-being. Once clear, Libby would be free to explore the world, play with as many toys as she wanted, and get super excited when her family walked in the door. Libby underwent heartworm treatment throughout the Spring. She was monitored very closely by her foster and vetting team. Although a little more subdued than normal during that time, Libby continued to bring smiles with her attempted antics. Even though she was sore from the treatment, she still felt that a good belly rub was required on a daily basis. Libby's treatment is complete. Her final check-up in mid-July will hopefully result in an "all clear." Currently, she is rebuilding muscle, enjoying daily walks, and thrilled to be moving forward. 

Libby has encountered one obstacle after another with grace. Her steady personality and endless sunshine have been constant throughout all that she has endured. Having survived so much, Libby is hoping to settle down with a family of her own very soon. If your home is looking for sunshine, look no further than lovely Libby.

DESCRIPTION:

The Neverland Litter (Hook, Pan, Wendy, Tootles, Pockets, Cubby, Nana, Nibs, Rufio, and Tink) was born on a property that is known for breeding and selling puppies. When these babies turned six weeks old, the owner dropped them along with a second litter at a shelter. Unfortunately, the shelter, like so many others, was sitting at critical capacity and knew they needed help moving the babies forward. Recognizing that a rescue would be the best option for these babies, a plea went out to GSD rescues up and down the coast for help. With puppy season in full swing, many groups are inundated with babies needing a safe place to move forward. When asked if we could welcome this group to the family, team MAGSR stepped forward. 

The Neverland puppies are playful, interactive, and social puppies. Although they did not have the easiest start, they have had many different people in their corner since their arrival at the shelter. In the last few weeks, these babies have had many opportunities to start socializing with new people and in a variety of situations. Socialization is essential to their success; it is critical to their forever families continue this process. Living with some of our amazing foster families, these babies are learning the ins and outs of living in a home. They are learning all about the joys of good food, daily playtime, structure and routine. Although Tink and her siblings are beyond precious, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, and patience, we know that the Neverland Litter will grow up to become good canine citizens. If your family is ready to welcome terrific Tink into your home, ask to meet her today. 

Updates:

She now weighs in at 29lbs. She is crate trained and actually likes sleeping in her crate. She is potty trained but can still have an occasional accident if we’re not diligent on taking her out right after she eats or wakes up. She is a fast learning girl who can now sit, lay down, very patient during work hours,  sits to wait for her food, loves to garden and is pretty good on the leash. She is also a fast little puppy who likes water in case someone is considering doing dog sport.

DESCRIPTION:

Talia and one of her pups were surrendered to an overcrowded shelter in the south. Unfortunately, as is true of so many owner surrenders, they were immediately added to the list for euthanasia. Her puppy was immediately adopted by a local family leaving this lovely girl alone and without options. Talia was not placed in the general population; instead, she went immediately to the euthanasia room. When we learned about Talia's fate, our team began working with other rescue groups in the south and began putting a plan in place. As luck would have it the stars aligned and we were able to pull Talia just hours before she was scheduled to cross. 

Talia, or Tali as her foster family calls her, is a very special girl. It is very clear that humans have not always been kind to her; however, she still wants to interact and snuggle. We are always impressed by the level of resilience and gentleness of a dog who has been mistreated in the past. Talia is clearly a gentle soul who is looking for a patient family who will provide her with the structure and routine needed to move forward. A very submissive girl, Talia approaches most things hesitantly and needs a little time to adjust. When given this opportunity, she is able to meet with success. Once comfortable, Talia greets her people with little tail wags and wiggles. She gives the gentlest kisses and simply wants to be near you at all times. Well behaved in the household, Talia has impressed her foster family with how quiet and well behaved she has been so far. It is clear that this girl has been in a home before, but she is still learning all the ins and outs associated with household living. Her foster family is giving her the chance to slowly build these skills in a calm and positive manner. As Talia continues to move forward, she will benefit greatly from training. Not only will training help Talia develop a strong and healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. 

Unfortunately, we have learned that Talia is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided had her family provided her with monthly heartworm preventatives. As she moves forward, MAGSR will cover the entirety of Talia's heartworm treatment. Heartworm treatment is very expensive; however, this special girl is clearly worth the cost. Please consider donating to Talia's care. Not only will your donation help us provide Talia with everything she needs, but it will also help us continue to welcome medical dogs to the MAGSR family. Fortunately, Talia's treatment has already begun and she is handling this first step well. We can't wait to see this lovely girl continue to move forward. If you are looking for a little lady who is looking for plenty of adventures during the day and snuggles at night, ask to meet Talia today.  

Updates:

Talia, who is lovingly called Tali by her foster family, has been in her foster home for a few months. She has been very busy learning all the ins and outs of living in a home. At this time Tali is housebroken and crate trained. She thrives on routine and consistency. Preferring a quiet and calm environment, Tali loves to be near her people and is always up for a good snuggle and a belly rub. Her daily snuggle sessions bring her foster family endless giggles. Recognizing the importance of giving Tali positive experiences with new people, Tali was lucky and was chosen to participate in training with one of our training partners. This was an amazing opportunity for our lovely girl as it gave her the opportunity to work with new people and to build confidence. Tali knows several commands at this time but is always ready to learn more. With basic obedience in line, Tali has gained some needed confidence. However, it is still essential that her forever family continue this process in order to build a healthy bond together. 

While Tali has been adjusting to her foster family, we have also been continuing to address her medical needs. Tali completed her first 60 days of heartworm treatment and moved into the next phase of her treatment. Tali has had the first of her melarsomine injections and is resting comfortably while this next stage of the process gets underway. Tali will be taking it easy over the next two months as her body needs time to rest and recover. Her foster family is keeping close tabs on her and making sure she has everything she needs. Heartworm treatment is very expensive. Please consider donating to Tali's care. Your donation will help Tali get the medical care needed to move forward as well as help other dogs with medical needs join the MAGSR family. 

As Talia has made incredible strides over the last few months, she wanted to share her successes with everyone. Having arrived in MAGSR's care as a heartworm positive momma, we worked with Talia to complete heartworm treatment with one of our amazing veterinarians. Although this process did require that Talia limit her activity for a few months, this gorgeous girl did a fantastic job. Crate trained and housebroken, Talia navigated this rest period with grace. We are pleased to announce that heartworm treatment is complete and Talia's follow up tests are all clear! With this news in hand, one of our incredible training partners, Mason Dixon K9, welcomed Talia into their care to help her develop the skills needed to develop into a good canine citizen. A very intelligent girl, Talia has excelled with training. She knows several commands and is very responsive to the handler. With basic training already under her belt, Talia has gained confidence and has an understanding of the expectations needed to meet with success. As Talia has some strong GSD traits, this training has been critical to her success. As she moves forward, her forever family will need to continue training in order to build a strong and healthy bond with Talia; however, they will have a strong foundation to build upon. Due to her past, Talia continues to need some time to adjust to new people. Once comfortable, she is playful, affectionate, and an incredible cuddler. She adores her people and simply fills hearts with joy. Now that Talia is free to enjoy the life of a beloved dog, she cannot wait to find a family that will cherish her forever.

DESCRIPTION:

Handsome Sheppy was picked up as a stray and brought to a local shelter where he waited patiently for his family to come and claim him. Although he waited, no one came forward for Sheppy. Shelter staff were surprised as this social guy was clearly comfortable with people and did well around other dogs. Recognizing that Sheppy deserved a family that would love him for a lifetime, he was placed on the adoption floor and started looking for a match but with so many dogs looking for homes, he didn't find his match. Recognizing that shepherds are often more successful when adopted out through a breed specific rescue, Sheppy was transferred to the MAGSR family. We are excited to be able to help Sheppy move forward and find the perfect forever family.

Sheppy is a friendly and playful guy. He is a big fan of plushy toys and hopes that his forever family has plenty of them in the household. Sheppy has done a nice job in a large shelter and seems comfortable with other dogs. However, as is true of many shepherds, Sheppy has high-drive. He is looking for a household without cats or other small animals. Although clearly socialized with people, Sheppy did not receive the training needed to meet with success. He will need to learn leash manners and the importance of keeping his paws on the ground. Fortunately, our team has already begun working with Sheppy so that he better understands the ins and outs of becoming a good canine citizen. Training is essential for Sheppy's success. Training will not only help Sheppy develop a strong, healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a stable and confident canine citizen. Sheppy is looking for a forever family that will provide him with routine, structure, patience, and leadership. This set-up is crucial for success with all shepherds. If you are looking for an active, playful, and intelligent guy, look no further than Sheppy!

Updates:

Sheppy is a GREAT dog!  He is very smart, engaged, happy and eager to please.  He knows lots of commands and really enjoyed the agility work in the indoor play-yard today. He loves to play ball and it was a really good training tool for him.  He is gentle with treats and you can’t help smiling when you are playing with him.  He is an absolute DELIGHT and will just be an amazing addition to any family!

Sheppy is a big sweet boy!  He continues to learn his commands and knows sit, down, and "no".  Most importantly, he is completely housebroken and he understands kennel and is crate trained - though he does have some separation anxiety.  He is good with other dogs, people and children.  He walks well on a leash and loves walks with our 5 year-old GSD Yuki.  Sheppy does not quite realize how big he is and will try to sit in your lap, where he loves to give kisses to his people.  He is a high energy dog and will benefit from an owner/family who enjoys being active.  He is food motivated and responds well to correction and consequently he takes to training well.

DESCRIPTION:

Pyro is a survivor. He and over 40 other animals (many of which were dogs) were rescued when their home caught fire. Fortunately, neighbors saw smoke rising from his home and called for help. In a matter of minutes, the family (both human and canine) lost their home. A local shelter welcomed all of the animals from the fire into their care. However, with such a large number of animals needing help to move forward, they began reaching out to local groups with the hope that the animals involved in the fire would find safe and loving forever families. As survivors, the shelter knew that these animals may need a little extra time and patience to heal from the trauma of the fire. When asked if we could help Pyro move forward in the safety of the MAGSR family, we immediately agreed. 

Pyro is a young, energetic and social guy. Friendly and outgoing with new people, Pyro has clearly had positive interactions prior to his arrival. Although Pyro has a good foundation, it is critical that his family continue to socialize him with new people, animals, and in new environments. As Pyro was living with several other animals, it is likely that he will do well with other dogs. However, as is true with all animals, he will need to adjust to other furry friends. Pyro is still a young guy who is likely still learning the ins and outs of living in a household. He is looking for a family that will provide him with the structure, routine, and leadership that all GSDs crave. With time, patience, and consistency we know he will thrive. Training is essential for this handsome guy. Not only will training help Pyro develop a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen. Pyro is looking for a loving and active family that will cherish him for a lifetime. If he sounds like the right match for you, ask to meet him today!

DESCRIPTION:

Emmie and her seven adorable babies (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, Cal, Murray, and Bebe) were dumped at an overcrowded shelter in the south. Although Emmie knew that her future was uncertain, she also knew that the 7 little ones (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, Cal, Murray, and Babe) that she brought with her were also in danger. As puppy season is in full swing, many furry families of all sizes are finding themselves in tough situations where, unfortunately, many animals do not make it out alive. Fortunately, for this special family, shelter staff began working with a network of rescues to find options, a loving foster family, and the medical support needed to move forward. MAGSR was lucky to have so many people pulling together to help this family move forward into our care. We are honored to move them forward. 

Emmie and her pups have been lucky to have lived in a loving foster family. This gave them all the opportunity to learn some of the ins and outs of living in a home. All of the babies did an incredible job with their foster family and have since moved onto foster homes where they are getting additional love and attention in smaller groups. Moe is an absolute love. A little less confident than some of his siblings, he likes a chance to explore his environment. However, with a trusted handler close by, he quickly adjusts. Having already begun socializing with new people, animals, and in new environments, Moe is already building a solid foundation. It is imperative that his family continue this process as he moves forward. Moe, like all dogs, will thrive in a home with structure, routine, and leadership. With the right set-up, we know this little love bug will be impressive. Although Moe is precious, please remember that puppies are a lot of work.

DESCRIPTION:

Big-hearted Buster joined the MAGSR family as an owner-surrender with two of his littermates - Buddy and Cooper. Although his previous family loved him, they were overwhelmed by the number of dogs in their care and decided that it was in the boys' best interest to find rescue placement. So, they made the decision to surrender the pups to MAGSR. We know this was a very difficult decision, but we also know that their family wanted these boys to have endless love, attention, and opportunities. We promised Buster's family that we would find him an incredible forever family that would cherish him for a lifetime. 

Buster is a playful and affectionate guy. He bonds tightly to his people and fills their days with endless smiles. Although Buster is an absolute love, it can take him a few minutes to warm up to new people. He is gentle but timid at first. Once given a little time to adjust and trust, Buster's goofy side emerges. Having lived in a home with other dogs and older kids, Buster did well with the pack and enjoyed the company of all members of his family. As is true of his brothers, Buster is crate trained and understands that the crate is a safe space. He has also learned some of the rules of living in a home. However, as is true of all new dogs, Buster will need time to learn the specific ins and outs of his forever family. As is true of all shepherds, Buster will thrive in an environment that has structure, routine, and leadership. A bit of a goofball, Buster enjoys playtime. He understands what toys are and is hoping that his forever family has plenty of them available. Moving forward, it is critical that Buster's family provide him with continued socialization and training. These vital components are essential to his success. If your family is looking for a sweet but playful companion, look no further than Buster.

DESCRIPTION:

Marley and her seven incredible Disney puppies (Jasmine, Eric, Phillip, Aladdin, Aurora, Ariel, and Belle) were dumped at a shelter that was over-capacity. Although Marley is an incredible mom who was doing everything to help her babies grow, a crowded shelter environment is not a safe place for any animal, particularly a young family. Recognizing that Marley and her babies needed help and fast, the shelter immediately sent out a plea for help. As puppy season is in full swing, many rescues have been inundated with puppies. This situation has further elevated the importance of spaying and neutering pets as the number of homeless animals is simply unsustainable. Rescues want to help; however, many groups are just as overwhelmed as the shelters. Fortunately, MAGSR's incredible team came together to help Marley and her pups move forward in the safety of the rescue family. 

The Disney puppies and their phenomenal mother, Marley, have been living with one of our amazing foster families. Surrounded by loving and caring people, each member of the family has had all that they needed and more. These babies have had endless opportunities to learn, grow, and explore. This socialization is essential to their success. As the Disney puppies move forward, their families will need to continue to socialize them with varied people, animals, and in different environments. This will help all of the babies develop into stable and confident adults. Although they are being raised together, each of these babies has unique qualities. Eric is the most timid in the bunch. He likes to take his time to get to know his people. He is observant and patient when building new relationships. Once he is comfortable, Eric is playful, affectionate, and cuddly. Although Eric is a delight, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience and routine, we know that Eric will develop into a good canine citizen. If your household is ready to welcome this little guy into your home, please ask to meet him today!

Updates:

Eric is just 4 months old.  He is a big, handsome puppy.  He is learning to walk well on the leash and go potty outside.  He enjoys relaxing in his crate, going on walks, playing with the ball, and meal time.  He is very alert and curious about his surroundings.  He follows me all around the house.  He settles by my feet when I'm working on the computer.  He gets a lot of attention when we go walking in the park but its takes him a minute to warm up to strangers.  He is an absolute joy to have around.

DESCRIPTION:

Emmie and her seven adorable babies (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, Cal, Murray, and Bebe) were dumped at an overcrowded shelter in the south. Although Emmie knew that her future was uncertain, she also knew that the 7 little ones (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, Cal, Murray, and Bebe) that she brought with her were also in danger. As puppy season is in full swing, many furry families of all sizes are finding themselves in tough situations where, unfortunately, many animals do not make it out alive. Fortunately, for this special family, shelter staff began working with a network of rescues to find options, a loving foster family, and the medical support needed to move forward. MAGSR was lucky to have so many people pulling together to help this family move forward into our care. We are honored to move them forward. 

Emmie and her pups have been lucky to have lived in a loving foster family. This gave them all the opportunity to learn some of the ins and outs of living in a home. All of the babies did an incredible job with their foster family and have since moved onto foster homes where they are getting additional love and attention in smaller groups. Eenie is a curious pup who would love nothing more than to be by her person 24/7! She is inquisitive and confident, enjoying every person, dog, and cat that she has met. She loves a good game of fetch followed by a cuddle session. Eenie is already mostly crate trained and is learning her housebreaking manners rapidly. Eenie is keen to please and is a very fast learner. Like any puppy, Eenie thrives when supported by clear boundaries, patience and a mountain of love and chew toys as she learns the routines of her new home. Having already begun socializing with new people, animals, and in new environments, Eenie is already building a solid foundation. It is imperative that her family continue this process as she moves forward. With the right set-up, we know this little love bug will be impressive. Although Eenie is special, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, and training, Eenie will become a stable and confident adult. Eenie is looking for a forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime.

DESCRIPTION:

Amazing Allie was picked up as a stray in the south. Clearly a friendly girl, she was brought to a shelter where she waited for her family to come and claim her. Although she waited patiently, no one came forward for Allie. With many shelters at critical capacity with animals in need, far too many dogs do not make it out alive. Recognizing that Allie was very special, shelter staff began working with rescue organizations to network Allie. Fortunately, word reached MAGSR before it was too late and we were able to welcome Allie to the family. 

Allie is a ray of sunshine. She is filled to the brim with joy and happiness. Excited to say hi to everyone she meets, it is impossible to meet this little lady without grinning ear to ear. Affectionate and wiggly, it is beyond obvious that Allie was well socialized with people before her arrival. Allie also seems to enjoy the company of other dogs. She is interactive and playful while reading the body language of the other dog well. As Allie was a stray, we do not know what her experiences were in a household prior to her arrival; however, we do know Allie is a quick learner who is eager to please. With structure, routine, and leadership, Allie is sure to thrive. Training is also an important next step for Allie. Not only will training help Allie build a strong bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Unfortunately, we have discovered that Allie is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided with a monthly preventative. Allie's heartworm treatment is beginning. As a result, she will need to take it easy over the next few months. Heartworm treatment is very expensive, but Allie is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating to Allie's treatment as it will not only help us give her the care she needs, but it will also help us provide medical support to other dogs in need. Allie is looking for a forever family that will love her for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for you, ask to meet Allie today. 

Updates:

This is a great dog.  She is a Shepherd mixed with breed with a lot more spring in its step and wag in its tail.  She’s a joyful, easy going, and intelligent young girl.  In limited experience with dogs, she’s played very nicely.  In limited experience with children, she’s been friendly, sweet, and gentle.  She’s very comfortable in a crate and is (mostly) house-trained.  She is eager to play but settles very nicely as well.

DESCRIPTION:

Stunning Suzie and her buddy, Bubba, were picked up as strays in the south. Although both dogs were friendly, when the pair arrived in an overcrowded shelter they were on borrowed time. Unfortunately, with numbers at critical levels in most places, many shelters are struggling to keep up with the number of animals needing placement. Hoping to ensure that as many animals as possible make it out alive, shelter staff are doing everything they can to transfer dogs to reputable groups. When Suzie and Bubba were not claimed by a family, they were both placed on the list to be euthanized. Knowing that these dogs deserved the chance to move forward, a plea went out to the GSD community for help. Although we were also sitting near capacity, we knew both dogs were out of options. Team MAGSR began working with other groups in the area to pull both dogs to safety at the last second. 

Suzie is a stunning girl. Intelligent, active, and friendly, she is an adventurous girl with plenty of shepherd energy. As is typical of the breed, Suzie is looking for a forever family that will exercise both her body and her mind on a daily basis. This will help her develop the stability and confidence needed to become a good canine citizen. In many ways a blank slate, Suzie does not yet know general leash or household expectations. However, as a praise and food motivated girl, we know Suzie will pick up these skills quickly. Our volunteers have already begun working with Suzie to begin this process. As she moves forward, training will be critical to her success. Not only will training help Suzie develop a healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to meet with success. Suzie is looking for an active forever family that will provide her with the structure, routine, and leadership that all GSDs crave. If this special girl sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

The Neverland Litter (Hook, Pan, Wendy, Tootles, Pockets, Cubby, Nana, Nibs, Rufio, and Tink) was born on a property that is known for breeding and selling puppies. When these babies turned six weeks old, the owner dropped them along with a second litter at a shelter. Unfortunately, the shelter, like so many others, was sitting at critical capacity and knew they needed help moving the babies forward. Recognizing that a rescue would be the best option for these babies, a plea went out to GSD rescues up and down the coast for help. With puppy season in full swing, many groups are inundated with babies needing a safe place to move forward. When asked if we could welcome this group to the family, team MAGSR stepped forward. 

The Neverland puppies are playful, interactive, and social puppies. Although they did not have the easiest start, they have had many different people in their corner since their arrival at the shelter. In the last few weeks, these babies have had many opportunities to start socializing with new people and in a variety of situations. Socialization is essential to their success; it is critical to their forever families continue this process.

DESCRIPTION:

Mattis was adopted out as a puppy from MAGSR. He attended puppy classes and grew into a big and intelligent guy. Mattis' family could no longer provide him with the type of care, attention, and living conditions that he needed to thrive. As a result, he was returned to the MAGSR so that we could find him the perfect forever family. We promised Mattis that we would find the right place for him as he moves forward. 

Mattis is a big, handsome, and intelligent guy. Unfortunately, his medical needs were not addressed as expected so he arrived back in our care needing some support. With unaddressed skin issues, Mattis was very uncomfortable and required immediate veterinary support. We have begun working with our amazing vetting partners to help soothe Mattis' skin and bring him relief. He is receiving medication and baths and is already showing improvements. As we determine the root cause of Mattis' skin condition, we will make sure that he remains comfortable moving forward. 

Having lived in a household, Mattis understands many of the ins and outs of living in a home. He is housebroken and crate trained. However, as is true of any new dog, he will need time to adjust to the expectations and routines of his forever family. With some more prominent classic GSD traits, such as guarding of the property, Mattis will thrive in a home that provides him with structure, routine, and leadership. Clearly responsive to a calm and confident handler, Mattis is looking for a more experienced household that understands the breed. Although we are beginning to provide Mattis with an understanding of basic commands, it is essential that his forever family takes him to training. Training will not only help Mattis develop into a good canine citizen, but it will also help him develop a strong, healthy bond with his forever family. Mattis is looking for a loving and active household that will keep him safe and loved. Could that family be you?

Updates:

Mattis has been in foster for 3 weeks now.  He comes when called,  is very aware of the house rules, and he gets along with his housemates.   He is good walking on a leash in the neighborhood but is still a little afraid of trash cans, not noises or cars.

Mattis is doing very well in his foster home.  He knows all his basic commands (sit, down, come, touch, stay) and is working on reliably doing them when asked.  He loves training time, so I'm sure he'll learn in no time flat.  He does very well in a home with clear communication and lots of structure.  In our home, he takes corrections very well, learns quickly, respects boundaries set by the humans, and is probably the most well behaved house guest we've had to date.  He's crate trained, good on the leash, calm with dogs and small animals on walks, and allows our bossy resident GSD to be the one in charge.  He's a bit more mouthy than is ideal, so we're working on that.  He's not allowed on furniture in our home, but he's made it clear he'd love to snuggle on the couch if allowed.  All in all, this boy is a big cuddle bug who is working on learning he's too big to be a lap dog.  Think this very special boy might be a good fit for you?  Check out the videos of him working on recall and playing gently with his toy!

DESCRIPTION:

Amazing Andora and her "A Litter" puppies (Annette, Aime, and Abu) were dumped at a crowded shelter. With limited resources and overwhelming numbers, the shelter could not provide for this family. Although they did everything they could to help all members of the family move forward, shelter staff knew that without rescue help, this family would likely be euthanized as spaces are simply not available. Fortunately, rescue groups began working together to help the entire family move forward safely. When asked if we could provide a safe place to land, we were lucky to be able to team up with another local group in order to ensure that all members of the family moved forward safely. 

Andora and her babies are friendly, interactive, and beyond lovable. Aime is playful, interactive, and an amazing cuddler. She is curious about the world around her and loves an adventure. A big fan of toys, Aime loves all things, rolly, squeaky, and crunchy. She is hoping her forever family has plenty of toys to keep her occupied. Living in a foster home with other dogs and cats, Aime is lucky to be gaining experiences with a variety of other creatures. As this little girl moves forward it is critical that her forever family continues to provide Aime with opportunities to socialize with new people, other animals, and in new environments. This will help Aime develop into a stable and confident adult dog. Although Aime is a doll, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience, and socialization, we are sure that Aime will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to be. If Aime sounds like the right match for your family, put in your application today! The "A Litter" puppies will be available for adoption as of May 1st.

Updates:

Little Miss Aime has been living with one of our amazing foster families for a couple of weeks with one of her siblings. This little girl is affectionate, intelligent, and adores her people. It is impossible to keep from smiling with her near.  Ready to try new adventures and already well socialized, Aime has done incredibly well with other animals and kids! She, like her sister, has an impressive personality for such a little pup. With structure and routine established in her foster home, Aime has been making huge strides with housebreaking and crate training. She has quickly discovered that the outside is for taking bathroom breaks and does her business quickly. Of course, romping around a bit after business is complete is a well deserved treat. Not afraid to learn new things, Aime has learned the joys of new toys, new environments, and has even discovered the excitement of going up and down the stairs. Her puppy antics simply fill the home with giggles and joy. Aime is looking for an incredible forever family of her very own. If she sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

Handsome Hank was brought home as a puppy. His family loved him a lot, but due to a change in circumstances, they needed to rehome Hank.

Hank is playful, energetic, and looking for a leader. In many ways, Hank is your typical puppy. He loves toys, bouncing around, and interacting with his people. Well socialized with other people, Hank is comfortable meeting new people, but he does still need to learn a few rules, such as, the importance of keeping his paws on the ground. Clearly food motivated, this guy picks up new expectations quickly. He does very well with a clear, confident, and calm handler. As is true of all shepherds, Hank will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. He is hoping to find a forever family that will exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. Some time to play with toys also sounds like an ideal day to Hank. As Hank moves forward, it is essential that he participates in training.

DESCRIPTION:

The Neverland Litter (Hook, Pan, Wendy, Tootles, Pockets, Cubby, Nana, Nibs, Rufio, and Tink) was born on a property that is known for breeding and selling puppies. When these babies turned six weeks old, the owner dropped them along with a second litter at a shelter. Unfortunately, the shelter, like so many others, was sitting at critical capacity and knew they needed help moving the babies forward. Recognizing that a rescue would be the best option for these babies, a plea went out to GSD rescues up and down the coast for help. With puppy season in full swing, many groups are inundated with babies needing a safe place to move forward. When asked if we could welcome this group to the family, team MAGSR stepped forward. 

The Neverland puppies are playful, interactive, and social puppies. Although they did not have the easiest start, they have had many different people in their corner since their arrival at the shelter. In the last few weeks, these babies have had many opportunities to start socializing with new people and in a variety of situations. Socialization is essential to their success; it is critical to their forever families continue this process. Living with some of our amazing foster families, these babies are learning the ins and outs of living in a home. They are learning all about the joys of good food, daily playtime, structure and routine. Although Tootles and his siblings are beyond precious, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, and patience, we know that the Neverland Litter will grow up to become good canine citizens. If your family is ready to welcome terrific Tootles into your home, ask to meet him today.

DESCRIPTION:

Midnight was picked up as a stray. He was brought to a shelter while he waited for his family to come and claim him. Although this sweet guy waited patiently, no one stepped forward for him. As shelters are struggling to meet the overwhelming needs within their communities, unfortunately, many dogs are euthanized as stray holds end. With an amazing personality, shelter staff worried that Midnight wouldn't survive if help didn't arrive fast. He was immediately a staff favorite. He was so even-tempered and well-socialized that the shelter staff would use him as a dog tester for the other shelter dogs. Recognizing that a rescue could find a good home for him, the call for help was sent out. Team MAGSR knew that Midnight was special; we welcomed him to the family and promised to find him an amazing home.

Unfortunately, we have just discovered that he is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if he was kept on monthly preventatives. Heartworm treatment is expensive. However, we know that Midnight is more than worth the cost. He will be undergoing heartworm treatment and taking it easy over the next few months. Please consider donating to Midnight's care. Not only will your donation help Midnight move forward, but it will help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs. Midnight is hoping to find an incredible forever family that will have the time, patience, and leadership needed to help him succeed. If Midnight sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today!

DESCRIPTION:

Amazing Andora and her "A Litter" puppies (Annette, Aime, and Abu) were dumped at a crowded shelter. With limited resources and overwhelming numbers, the shelter could not provide for this family. Although they did everything they could to help all members of the family move forward, shelter staff knew that without rescue help, this family would likely be euthanized as spaces are simply not available. Fortunately, rescue groups began working together to help the entire family move forward safely. When asked if we could provide a safe place to land, we were lucky to be able to team up with another local group in order to ensure that all members of the family moved forward safely. 

Andora and her babies are friendly, interactive, and beyond lovable. Annette is active, engaging, and always up for a snuggle. She is playful and curious but can be a little hesitant when first introduced to new things. Given a moment to explore, Annette is happy to learn about the world around her. A huge fan of toys, Annette, like her siblings, loves all things, rolly, squeaky, and crunchy. She is hoping her forever family has plenty of toys to keep her occupied. Living in a foster home with other dogs and cats, Annette is lucky to be gaining experiences with a variety of other creatures. As this little lady moves forward it is critical that her forever family continues to provide Annette with opportunities to socialize with new people, other animals, and in new environments. This will help Annette develop into a stable and confident adult dog. Although Annette is a love, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience, and socialization, we are sure that Annette will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to be. If Annettte sounds like the right match for your family, put in your application today! The "A Litter" puppies will be available for adoption as of May 1st.

Updates:

Little Miss Annette has been living with one of our amazing foster families for a couple of weeks. This little bundle of cuddles has been a ray of sunshine in her home. Adventurous, playful, and a huge fan of other animals and kids, Annette has an impressive personality for such a little pup. With structure and routine established in her foster home, Annette has been making huge strides with housebreaking and crate training. She is very good about keeping her crate clean and settles very nicely when given breaks. Not afraid to learn new things, Annette has learned the joys of new toys, new environments, and has even discovered the excitement of going up and down the stairs. Her puppy antics simply fill the home with giggles and joy. Annette is looking for a forever family of her very own. If she sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

Marley and her seven incredible Disney puppies (Jasmine, Eric, Phillip, Aladdin, Aurora, Ariel, and Belle) were dumped at a shelter that was over-capacity. Although Marley is an incredible mom who was doing everything to help her babies grow, a crowded shelter environment is not a safe place for any animal, particularly a young family. Recognizing that Marley and her babies needed help and fast, the shelter immediately sent out a plea for help. As puppy season is in full swing, many rescues have been inundated with puppies. This situation has further elevated the importance of spaying and neutering pets as the number of homeless animals is simply unsustainable. Rescues want to help; however, many groups are just as overwhelmed as the shelters. Fortunately, MAGSR's incredible team came together to help Marley and her pups move forward in the safety of the rescue family. 

The Disney puppies and their phenomenal mother, Marley, have been living with one of our amazing foster families. Surrounded by loving and caring people, each member of the family has had all that they needed and more. These babies have had endless opportunities to learn, grow, and explore. This socialization is essential to their success. As the Disney puppies move forward, their families will need to continue to socialize them with varied people, animals, and in different environments. This will help all of the babies develop into stable and confident adults. Although they are being raised together, each of these babies has unique qualities. Ariel, just like her Disney moniker, is spirited, curious, and trying to find her independence. Ariel is always up for a good adventure. Although Ariel is cute as a button, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience and routine, we know that Ariel will develop into a good canine citizen.

DESCRIPTION:

Lolly is nothing short of a survivor. This girl was picked up as a stray with another female dog who it was assumed was her sister and brought to a crowded shelter. Both girls were in poor condition. Emaciated, missing fur, covered in a skin sores, and heartworm positive, they entered the shelter just as a distemper outbreak occurred. Although both girls were very sweet, they were quickly added to the list for euthanasia. Luckily, they were pulled from the euthanasia room at the last second by another rescue when an incredible foster stepped up to help. Not all fosters are ready for one dog, but this one was open to two. 

The girls were tightly bonded and were lucky to leave with their lives. Shortly after they arrived in care, Lolly's sister popped positive with distemper. This virus is often extremely challenging and takes many lives. Although she fought hard, Lolly's sister did not survive leaving Lolly alone and grieving. Her foster made sure Lolly had everything she needed to keep moving forward. He quarantined Lolly to make sure that she did not come down with the virus, kept her company, and began addressing her other medical needs. With her skin issues addressed, her weight back up where it belongs, and her heartworm's gone, Lolly has made huge strides. After months of recovery, Lolly is ready to find a forever family of her very own thanks to the love and support of her foster dad. 

Lovely Lolly is an interactive girl. She enjoys the company of her human and canine companions. Now that she can be a dog, Lolly enjoys romping around outside. She has learned the joys of toys and a comfortable bed. Having lived with a foster for the last several months, Lolly has also been learning the ins and outs of living in a home. However, as is true of any new dog, this girl will need a chance to adjust to the routines and expectations of her forever family. A home with clear routines, structure, and leadership will help her thrive. Training will also go a long way with Lolly. Not only will training help her bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Lolly is looking for that special family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Updates:

Lolly is still decompressing- she is very sweet, affectionate and wants to be a small lap dog- but she can’t because she is too big!  This southern cutie came up in the freezing cold and is handling her transition changes very well.  She discovered she enjoys snow, and it tastes good! Lolly is house trained, and is doing well with crate training. She is enjoying being with other dogs around her size.  This is one food motivated pup which will be good for the basic training she was never taught.

Andora and her babies are friendly, interactive, and beyond lovable. Abu is a little ball of joyful puppy energy. Interactive, curious, and ready for an adventure, Abu can't wait to explore everything in his environment. A toy aficionado, Abu, like his sisters, loves all things, rolly, squeaky, and crunchy. He is hoping his forever family has plenty of toys to keep him occupied for hours. Living in a foster home with other dogs and having already been exposed to cats, Abu is lucky to be gaining experiences with a variety of other creatures. As the little guy moves forward it is critical that his forever family continues to provide Abu with opportunities to socialize with new people, other animals, and in new environments. This will help Abu develop into a stable and confident adult dog. Although Abu is a charmer, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience, and socialization, we are sure that Abu will develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to be. If Abu sounds like the right match for your family, put in your application today! The "A Litter" puppies will be available for adoption as of May 1st.

Updates:

Abu was adopted as a puppy into an incredible family that adored him. They recognized early on that Abu was showing prey drive, toy drive, and needed additional social support in controlled settings. Recognizing that training would be key to his success, they found a trainer that understood working breeds and began building a foundation for success. Although they took all of the right steps, Abu proved to be a little too much for their household. Knowing that a better match was out there for Abu, his family surrendered him back to MAGSR so that we could help him find that perfect family. We know this was an incredibly difficult decision. However, they did what they knew was best for their sweet boy.

Abu is an active, affectionate, and agile pup. Ready to take on the world, this boy has endless energy and drive. He must be placed with an active family that will exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. Abu loves trying new things particularly when food or praise is involved. In many ways he can be a firecracker with a strong will to please. With a strong and spirited personality, Abu can be very reactive with new creatures and in new environments. As Abu was building a foundation with a trainer prior to his return, our team decided that he would be most successful if we continued to build that foundation for success. As a result, he has been placed with one of our incredible training partners to continue this process. Over the last few weeks, Abu has been building a solid foundation for doggy manners. It is believed that his reactivity is largely fear-based. As a result, training and confidence building will be key to his success. Abu does very well with a good balance of work and play. He is developing key skills while also enjoying daily farm walks and plenty of playtime. Having lived in a home, Abu is crate trained and house broken. He loves adventures and is very well behaved when in the car. Abu will continue to work with one of our trainers to further solidify his foundational skills over the next few weeks. When ready, Abu will be looking for a family that will provide him with the structure, routine, and daily opportunities to meet with success. If this handsome little "pocket rocket" is the right match for your family, ask to meet him today!

Full-loving Patterson is the life of the party. This handsome guy was picked up as a stray in the south. Although he waited for his family to reclaim him, no one came forward. Shelter staff immediately recognized that this goofy boy would be an incredible candidate for a loving home so that placed him up for adoption. Patterson waited patiently again for the right family. However, with overwhelming numbers of animals entering the shelter every day, Patterson was on borrowed time. Staff members did everything they could to help Patterson find a loving forever home. Unfortunately, many dogs come into shelters over capacity but fewer make it out. At the last second we learned about Patterson's likely fate. Fortunately, with the help of some other groups, we were able to bring this guy to safety so that he can find the adoring forever family we know is waiting for him. 

Patterson is a friendly fellow who has earned the title social butterfly in playgroups. He seems to expertly avoid conflicts within groups and makes fast friends with other canine companions. A master gamer, this boy can turn just about anything into a game guaranteeing endless laughter and entertainment. Known for his delightful zoomie sessions, Patterson is a nice mix of playfulness and affection. True of most shepherds, Patterson likes to take a second to initiate new relationships with people. However, once comfortable, he is friendly and silly with his people. An energetic guy, this boy is looking for an active family that will help him exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. Playful and silly, Patterson tries to find the fun in all situations. It is important that his forever family provide him with the structure, routine, and leadership needed to meet with success. With time, patience, structure, and training, we know Patterson will meet with success.

Updates:

Pockets is an amazing little girl. Of all the puppies her foster parents have fostered over the past 10+ years, Pockets is the FIRST to not only teach herself how to go UP and DOWN the stairs (whhaaat?) but also she is probably 90% potty trained- again, all on her own! She uses her foster sister and brothers as guides for knowing What To Do, and loves to play. She is still working on basic commands (sit, stay). She is incredibly smart and would do well in an environment with a lot of stimulation, or maybe even as a service dog!!! She definitely needs to be around other dogs, so her foster parents highly recommend she go to a house with other dogs she can play with.

DESCRIPTION:

Handsome Granite was picked up as a stray in a busy city. Although he was very good with staff members at the shelter, due to overwhelming numbers of dogs needing placement Granite was placed on the list to be euthanized. Fortunately, another rescue was visiting the shelter to meet some other dogs when they came upon Granite. Knowing we were hoping to help this guy move forward before it was too late, they evaluated him and helped him move safely into the MAGSR family. Teamwork really does save lives. 

Granite is currently living with an amazing foster family. They are giving him endless opportunities to meet with success in a safe and patient environment. Although Granite enjoys his people, it is clear that he hasn't always been treated kindly. He can be a little jumpy with new people, particularly if they bring their hands up over his head. With a little time and patience, Granite warms up nicely and can't wait to play, interact, and snuggle. Although we do not know much about Granite's past, we do know that his future is bright. He is currently learning the ins and outs of living in a household. It is highly evident that this guy is a quick learner and is excited to be in a home. Like all new dogs, Granite will need some time to adjust to the structure, routines, and expectations of his forever family. However, he is currently building a good foundation. Granite, like all GSDs, will benefit greatly from training. Not only will training help him build a strong relationship with his forever family, but it will also help him build the skills and confidence needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Unfortunately, we have learned that Granite is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided if he had been kept on monthly heartworm preventatives. Although treatment is expensive, we know that Granite is more than worth the cost. Already in the beginning stages of treatment, we are committed to helping Granite receive the medical care needed to move forward safely. Please consider donating to Granite's care as this will not only help us meet his needs, but it will also help us meet the needs of other dogs with medical needs. Granite will need to take it easy over the next few months while he undergoes treatment. If this handsome guy sounds like a good match for your family, ask to meet him today!

Fortunately, MAGSR's incredible team came together to help Marley and her pups move forward in the safety of the rescue family. 

The Disney puppies and their phenomenal mother, Marley, have been living with one of our amazing foster families. Surrounded by loving and caring people, each member of the family has had all that they needed and more. These babies have had endless opportunities to learn, grow, and explore. This socialization is essential to their success. As the Disney puppies move forward, their families will need to continue to socialize them with varied people, animals, and in different environments. This will help all of the babies develop into stable and confident adults. Although they are being raised together, each of these babies has unique qualities. Belle is definitely the Belle of the ball. She greatly enjoys socializing with all of her brothers and sisters. However, after a good party, she is beyond content to settle in for a good cuddle. Although Belle is a doll, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience and routine, we know that Belle will develop into a good canine citizen. If your household is ready to welcome this little love into your home, please ask to meet her today!

DESCRIPTION:

As is the story of so many homeless animals right now, Parsley was picked up as a stray and brought to a shelter that is sitting at critical levels. Unfortunately, no one stepped forward to bring this lovely, young pup home. Unable to sustain such high numbers, shelters are euthanizing animals daily. With her stray hold completed and no where to go, Parsley was moved to the euthanasia room. She was incredibly lucky when another rescue stepped in at the last minute to save her life. Although they knew they would need to find a breed specific rescue for Parsley, this girl was too special to leave behind. When asked if we could transfer Parsley into our care, we knew the MAGSR family was the right match for this girl.

Parsley is young, sweet, energetic, and intelligent. She was clearly well-socialized with people and seems to enjoy the company of other dogs. Having gone through several changes in the last week, Parsley has remained sweet and affectionate, but has shown us that change can be a little unsettling for the lovely lady. She is looking for a family that will give her time to decompress and learn the ropes in her forever home. As is true of all shepherds, Parsley will flourish with structure, routine, and leadership. With these pieces in place, we cannot wait to see Parsley thrive. Already a fan of playtime and adventures, Parsley is hoping that her forever family has plenty of toys and are ready to be entertained for hours with her antics. Training will go a long way with Parsley. Not only will training help Parsley create a strong and healthy connection with her family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. If Parsley sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet this stunning girl today!

DESCRIPTION:

The Hundred Acre Woods Puppies - Winnie, Piglet, Eeyore, and Tigger - were confiscated in the south due to cruelty and neglect. These babies had been placed in a small, confined area filled with garbage and feces. Unable to fend for themselves, they had limited access to water and were found without access to any food. Due to these horrifying conditions, when animal control officers arrived, the babies were immediately confiscated and brought to a loving foster family that began their road to recovery. Although the pups were finally receiving the care and interaction needed to meet with success, a rescue plea went out as extreme overcrowding has significantly limited shelter's ability to meet the needs of all of the animals in their care. These babies needed safe passage to move forward and MAGSR and another GSD rescue in the area, All Shepherd Rescue, were ready to help. 

Working collaboratively with ASR, we were able to ensure that all of the puppies within the 100 Acre Woods litter had a rescue option and loving foster home ready for their arrival. These babies are in many ways your typical GSD puppies. They are playful, interactive, full of energy and puppy snuggles. Although they had a rough start, the puppies are incredibly resilient and are ready for forever families that will cherish them for a lifetime. Although Eeyore is cute as can be, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience, and structure, we know the 100 Acre Puppies are destined to be incredible adult dogs. If your family is ready for endless hours of puppy joy, please ask to meet Eeyore today!

DESCRIPTION:

Molly is the mom to the 11 Hogwarts puppies. This family was part of a cruelty and neglect case within Maryland. Upon their arrival at the shelter, staff did everything they could to begin working with this family. They were able to foster Molly's puppies out within the MAGSR family; however, Molly needed to remain at the shelter while she awaited a decision on her case. Although she was extremely emaciated, covered with fleas, and weak, Molly appreciated the kindness of staff members and slowly began warming up to new people. Shelter staff worked hard to help Molly begin the recovery process and began getting her some much needed vetting. However, Molly was significantly weakened by the years of mal-treatment and the need to keep her puppies healthy and strong. As a result, a case of kennel cough quickly escalated. When volunteers came through to move Molly into the MAGSR family, they knew something was not right. Molly's kennel cough had evolved and become two-fold. She now had pneumonia and bronchitis. Fortunately, our team came together to ensure that Molly was safe and received all the care she needed. With time, patience, and some extra TLC, Molly has made significant strides. Her body is much stronger and she is ready to move forward. 

Molly is an intelligent and energetic dog. She is looking for an active and experienced forever family that will help her meet her full potential. Having survived horrifying conditions in her previous household, Molly is looking for a home where she can be the focus of the family. A home where she can be the only pet would be her ideal situation. This way she can soak up all of the love and attention of her family while filling their lives with giggles, snuggles, and endless kisses. As she continues to move forward, Molly will need to exercise her body and her mind on a daily basis. Not only will this help her find a good balance within the household but it will also help her use her mind effectively. Molly is a big fan of toys and can be found playfully throwing them around while making her goofy sounds. She is good at keeping herself entertained but also enjoys a good game of fetch. This smart little lady is already picking up commands. She is learning to sit, down, drop it, come, and roll over. She can't wait to learn more! Food and praise motivated, Molly will be a blast at training. Training is essential as it will help Molly develop a strong, healthy bond with her family. It will also help her further develop her skills and socialization so that she can develop into a good canine citizen. Molly is looking for an active home that will provide her with a lifetime of love and attention. Could that be with you?

Intelligent little Sampson came to MAGSR as an owner-surrender with two of his littermates. His previous family realized they were overwhelmed and couldn’t raise a large number of dogs the way they felt these pups deserved. So, they made the decision to surrender the pups to MAGSR. We know this was a very difficult decision, but we also know that this family wanted these pups to have endless love, attention, and opportunities. We are still learning about Sampson at this time. What we do know is he was loved and adored by his previous family and is looking for a forever family that will help him continue to move forward.

Sampson is an independent momma's boy. Once you are part of Sampson's family, he loves hard. This is especially true with his foster mom. Bonding quickly to his people, Sampson, like most GSDs, has energy and likes to be active as long as he people are not far behind. As a brave guy, Sampson is always up for a new challenge and loves learning new things. A huge fan of treats, this guy is motivated easily and picks up new skills easily. Confident in many situations, Sampson likes to lead and is the pack leader when it comes to his furry friends. As is true with all shepherds, it is critical that Sampson's forever family continue to socialize him in new people, animals, and in varied environments. These skills will help him develop into a stable adult shepherd. In addition, it is imperative that Sampson attend training. Not only will training help Sampson build a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen.
