Description

Schmidt, like so many dogs, found himself at a crowded shelter as just a baby. Underweight, dirty, full of worms, and malnourished, this little guy was scared and unsure. It was beyond evident that he needed help and fast. Fortunately, a local rescue was able to pull this handsome guy quickly and began getting him some of the critical care he needed to meet with success. With some much needed vetting started and some supportive care in place, the rescue began looking into breed specific resources that could help Schmidt find a safe and loving forever home that would understand and know how to work with a GSD. Shepherds are an intelligent, active, and loyal breed; however, it is understood in the rescue community that they are not for everyone. When asked if we could welcome Schmidt into the MAGSR family, our team immediately came together to provide him with a safe landing. 

Schmidt is a special guy. He has had a rough start, but things are definitely looking up. Living with an incredible foster family, this little guy is soaking in all the love he can. Recognizing the importance of socialization, his foster family is giving him endless opportunities to socialize with new people and other animals. Socialization is critical as it will help Schmidt develop the skills needed to grow into a stable and confident adult. His forever family will need to continue this process. As a young guy, Schmidt is learning the ins and outs of living in a home. He enjoys playing with his foster siblings, puppy toys, and endless snuggles. Making great progress with housebreaking and crate training, Schmidt is a smart little guy. Although Schmidt is an absolute 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 structure, we know that Schmidt is destined to become an incredible family member. If Schmidt sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today!
