Description

Fabulous Falcor was picked up as a stray in the south. Brought to a shelter sitting at critical capacity in January, Falcor hoped a family would come quick and claim him. Although he did well with other people and dogs, the minute his stray hold lifted, Falcor was placed on the list to be euthanized as spaces are simply not available. Recognizing that Falcor deserved a chance to move forward, another rescue pulled him and began addressing his medical needs. Falcor did very well in the other rescue; however, they knew that this handsome guy would be most successful if placed within a breed specific rescue. When asked if we could welcome this guy into the MAGSR family, our team stepped forward and the rest is history.

When he first arrived at the shelter, Falcor was underweight, dirty, and positive for heartworm. Fortunately, since arriving in rescue care, his medical needs have been addressed. Falcor is now a good size, a stunning guy, and has completed the large majority of his heartworm treatment. He will be off restriction in another week or so and will be able to go back to being a typical dog again. As is true of many young dogs, Falcor will thrive with structure, routine, consistency, and leadership. Outgoing and interactive, Falcor has typical young dog energy. Without much in the way of training or leash manners, prior to his arrival, Falcor is, in many ways, a clean slate. Our volunteers are already working with him to develop these skills. A smart guy, Falcor is looking for a calm and confident handler that will take him on daily adventures keeping both his body and his mind engaged. Training will go a long way with this boy. Not only will training help Falcor build a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help Falcor develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Falcor is a stunning young guy who is looking for an active family that will cherish him for a lifetime, could that family be you?

Updates


After even just a week, we could tell that Falcor is a big white pillowy snuggler. If he is not playing with his big foster brother, then he wants to lean in for all the love he can get. Falcor and his foster mom go on strolls in town and he does very well on a leash with minimal pulling and minimal squirrel chasing. True to his GSD nature, he's much calmer all-around when he's had time to exert some of his energy. Luckily, he loves to play with his foster fur-brother which helps to tire him out! His foster fur-sister is also helping him learn social cues and he picks up on them nicely and corrects himself. Like all of our MAGSR pups, Falcor is lucky to have a strong, confident handler in his foster mom and instructive fur-siblings. Despite only being in his foster home for only a short time, it has been great. A clever boy, Falcor has quickly settled in and is learning his routine and household expectations.
