Jackie and her family - Axel, Gypsie, Genie, Sally, and Birdie - are victims of cruelty and neglect. All six dogs were living in horrific conditions. Chained in shower stalls, living in filth, abused, and starved, they endured unimaginable suffering at the hands of their owner. When word of their situation spread to local authorities, all 6 dogs were confiscated and charges were brought against their owner. Recognizing that these dogs would need significant support, a plea went out to see if they could be moved to the safety of a rescue. MAGSR answered that plea and immediately began working with local groups and animal services to get all six dogs the resources needed (medically and socially) to begin to move forward.  

In many ways Jackie is still a puppy. At only seven months, she has spent her puppyhood tied out and neglected. As a result, Jackie has not had the chance to be a puppy and will need this opportunity as she moves forward. Unsurprisingly, Jackie needs a little time to adjust to new people and new situations. With time, leadership, and patience, Jackie does start to warm up to her handler. As we continue to work with Jackie, we will begin to teach her that people can be kind, affectionate, and a source of love. At this time, Jackie is looking for an active and experienced household that will provide her with the structure, routine, and leadership that all shepherds need. Coming from a situation with little opportunity for affection or interaction with the world around her, Jackie will need opportunities to learn about the world in controlled settings. As is true of all young dogs, Jackie will need daily exercise for both her mind and her body. This will help her develop the ability to handle new people and environments confidently. Continued socialization is also critical for Jackie as this will help her develop into a stable adult. Providing Jackie with opportunities to interact with other people and other animals in a safe manner will help her develop essential skills that she has missed prior to her arrival in our care. Training will be an essential piece of this process, as it will not only help Jackie learn to develop a strong, healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to be a good canine citizen. Jackie is looking for an experienced, patient, and confident family that will help her develop into a balanced and loving dog. Could that be with you?

The GA 6 have been an expensive rescue, but so worth it.  If you can help us donating to the cost of their care, it you be very much appreciated!
