DESCRIPTION:

Onya, previously known as Onion, was adopted by her mom a few years ago. They were an incredible team. With the help of her mom, Onya completed basic obedience, started scent work, and had the opportunity to develop more advanced skills. They brought endless joy into each other's lives with activities during the day and plenty of cuddles at night. It was beyond evident that these two were meant for each other. Everything was going according to plan and it seemed like they would bring joy to each other for many years. Unbeknownst to the pair, an unimaginable medical diagnosis was looming. Onya's mom received news of a terminal illness that would upend their perfect world. When she realized that Onya would need a safe place to land, Onya's mom contacted our team, shared her story with us, and asked for help. Our team did everything we could to bring comfort to this family and welcomed Onya back to MAGSR. 

Onya is a stunning, intelligent, and impressive girl. However, her world has shifted dramatically with the loss of her mom. The grieving process is difficult and can shift personalities sometimes causing skills to go a bit backwards. Until she has fully settled, this sweet girl will likely be skittish and potentially a little over protective of her people. Stability and confidence building will definitely help. Fortunately, Onya is working through this process with the help of a loving foster family. When the right match steps forward, it is imperative that Onya is given time, patience, leadership, and structure in order to make one final adjustment. With routine and clear expectations, we know that this lovely lady will rise to the occasion. Although Onya is in the midst of the grieving process, she does know many of the ins and outs of living in a household. She is housebroken, crate trained, and understands general household routines. However, she will need time to adjust to the expectations of her forever family. Training will also help Onya adjust. Not only will training help Onya develop a strong and healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her continue to develop confidence. Onya is looking for a loving forever family that will provide her with endless adventures and daily snuggles. If this amazing girl sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

DESCRIPTION:

Radiant Raven was, like so many others, picked up as a stray and brought to an overcrowded shelter. Although very sweet and affectionate with shelter staff, Raven was living on borrowed time. Shelters everywhere are drowning in homeless animals that are arriving by the droves on a daily basis. Shelters, rescues, and adopters simply cannot keep up with the overwhelming flow of animals in need. When runs became overcrowded, Raven found herself on this list to be euthanized. Fortunately, the right group stepped in and began advocating for Raven. They began making contacts up and down the coast and were able to extend her time enough to allow MAGSR to step in and welcome Raven to the family. 

Raven is simply adorable. As a pocket shepherd, she has a smaller stature and comes in a pint sized portion. Having been socialized by someone along her journey, Raven warms up quickly to calm and confident handlers. However, she can be a little jumpy with fast or unexpected movements. Once comfortable, Raven simply wiggles with excitement. It is clear this little lady still has many puppy like traits and will be more than happy to fill your home with puppy antics. Energetic, intelligent, and a fast-learner, Raven reads the handler well. She looks for direction, guidance, and leadership. She, like all shepherds, will do well when provided with structure and routine. We do not know much about her past; however, it is clear that someone along her way loved this little lady. Raven is looking for a family that will provide her with daily exercise for her body and her mind. Training will be key to her success. Training will not only help Raven create a strong, healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Raven is looking for a family that will take her on adventures, enjoy her antics, and give her plenty of snuggles. If Raven sounds like the right match for your household, please ask to meet her today!

DESCRIPTION:

Amazing Amir was found wandering all alone. Thinking that this sweet guy must belong to someone, his finder began working with animal services to locate his family. Although they searched for his family, no one came forward for Amir. When his stray hold was up and animal control released Amir, the decision was made to try to find rescue placement for this boy rather than send him to an already overcrowded shelter. When asked if we could help Amir continue to move forward, we knew this boy was destined for MAGSR. 

Amir is a big, friendly, and confident guy. It is very evident that someone along his journey socialized him with people and other animals. Although he has been through a lot over the last few weeks, Amir remains stable and interested in meeting new people. He is looking for a forever family that will adore him just as much as we do. As he moves forward, Amir will meet with success when provided with the structure, routine, and leadership that all GSDs crave and deserve. Training is also critical to his success. Not only will training help Amir build a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen. We do not know much about Amir's past, but we do know that he does understand some of the ins and outs of living in a household. He is beyond happy to stretch out on a comfortable bed and check in for bedtime snuggles. Although Amir has clearly had the luck of living in a home at one point, he will need time to adjust to the routines and expectations of his forever family. Amir is looking for a family that will love him for a lifetime. Could that family be you?

Updates:

Amir has been a very courteous house guest in his foster home. He's crate trained and has solid leash manners. True to his GSD nature, Amir will get very excited seeing wildlife and will try to chase unless his handler controls it. He's getting along well with the resident senior female dog in the house. Although not allowed on the furniture in his foster home, he seems like he's ready to snuggle down once invited. He sleeps in the weirdest positions! Amir is very affectionate and likes toys. He rides well in a car. He's a great dog and ready to fit into most households. Ask to meet ths big sweet goofball today!

DESCRIPTION:

Guy and Fieri were picked up as strays in the south. When they arrived at animal services it was highly evident that they could use a little extra TLC. Underweight, dirty, and needing some medical support, shelter staff immediately moved forward to support both boys. Although the boys had clearly been through a lot together, everyone was simply amazed by how friendly and interactive Guy and Fieri are with everyone they meet. Although shelter staff did everything they could to help both boys move forward, they felt that it would be best if the boys were moved into rescue so that they could find a home with room for two. When asked if we could support Guy and Fieri in the MAGSR family, we immediately stepped forward. 

Guy and Fieri are a bonded pair. As a result, they are looking for a household that has room in their hearts and home for two dogs. Playful, interactive, and friendly with everyone, the boys bring smiles wherever they go. It is clear that these two know just how to win over the hearts and minds of everyone around. Both boys are good with other dogs. They also love people of all ages. Guy has had some additional medical needs having joined the rescue with a very intense yeast infection throughout his body. However, with time, attention, and the right medication, he has made significant strides. These guys are looking for a household that will provide them with structure, routine, and love. If your family has room for two, please ask about Guy and Fieri today!

Updates:

Guy and Fieri were adopted into a loving household two years ago. They had easily won the heart of their foster family and it was decided that they were officially home. Although the boys loved their family, unfortunately, due to a significant change in circumstances, Guy and Fieri had to be returned to MAGSR's care. We have had a long tradition of caring for our own. Once a MAGSR dog, always a MAGSR dog. When we learned that the boys needed to move back to us, our team immediately stepped forward. 

Unsurprisingly, the boys moved right back in just as sweet and social as they were when they were adopted. Clearly comfortable with varied people and in varied environments, the boys have adapted surprisingly well to their change in circumstance. Big fans of daily playtime and activities, Guy and Fieri keep everyone smiling with their playful antics and goofy personalities. It is highly evident that this is a special pair. Having lived in a home for a few years, the boys understand the ins and outs of living in a household. They are housebroken and crate trained. Although they understand the general expectations of living in a home, it is important that their new family recognize that it will take them time to adjust to the routines and expectations of their new home. As they move forward, training will be key to the boys' success. Training will not only help Guy and Fieri create a healthy bond with their forever family, but it will also help them develop the skills needed to become good canine citizens. Curious and playful, the boys enjoy daily time outside. They love walks, sunshine, and nature. However, they can get a bit too excited about some of the four legged visitors in their yard, particularly the deer. Training will help the boys learn that furry visitors are fun but not necessarily playmates. 

Guy and Fieri are a very special pair. They are looking for a household that has enough room in their hearts for two. If these boys sound like the right match for your family, ask to meet them today!

Koda and his buddy, Zeke, were absolutely adored by their dad. Both dogs were raised in a loving household that clearly understood the ins and outs of owning, socializing, and training a shepherd. Although he gave them everything they needed and more, due to a change in circumstances, the boys' dad needed to rehome them. This was a very difficult decision, but he knew that the boys deserved more than he could give. When asked if MAGSR could welcome Zeke and Koda into the family, our team stepped forward to ensure that both boys were safe and loved.

Koda is a big, sweet, affectionate guy. Clearly well socialized with people and dogs, Koda has a stable and confident personality. He is patient, observant, and doesn't miss a beat. With absolutely stunning looks and a solid personality, Koda has the type of personality that easily wins over everyone he meets.

He understands clear expectations and responds accordingly. When provided with consistency and routine, Koda rises to the occasion. As a young guy, Koda is looking for a household that will provide him with daily exercise for both his body and mind. This will help him maintain his impressive personality. Although Koda has had some training already, he is looking forward to attending training class with his forever family. Training will not only help Koda bond with his forever family, but it will also help him solidify the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Having lived in a household, Koda 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, Koda will need time to adjust to the routines and expectations of his forever family.

Koda is a very special boy who is looking for an amazing family that will love him for a lifetime. If you are looking for a cuddle bug with an impressive personality, look no further than Koda!

DESCRIPTION:

Over the winter our emergency line received a call from a shelter in California that one of our senior dogs had been surrendered without our knowledge. As is true of many rescues, our dogs are family and we do not leave them behind. We needed to get this dog back home to MAGSR so that she could move forward with a family that would cherish and protect her throughout her golden years. However, as California is not exactly in our backyard, we began reaching out to rescues near the shelter and were beyond lucky to find CalPaws K9 Rescue. Their incredible team worked with us to get our dog out of the shelter, vetted, and transported back home. We were beyond grateful for all of their support and told them that if help was needed in the future, we would do what we could to repay the favor. This past May, CalPaws asked us for a favor in return when they were faced with a critical situation requiring a fast response. A backyard breeder in their area had endured some significant medical issues and the decision was made that all of the dogs on the property needed to leave within the week. The breeder was housing a large number of dogs, primarily German Shepherds, ranging in age from puppies to six years old. It is estimated that there were at least 25 German Shepherds at the breeder's property, although as CalPaws began working with the property owner, it was thought that the actual number may be higher. With such a large number of dogs needing help, multiple rescues stepped forward to be part of the solution. We joined the effort to help and were able to welcome a couple of dogs to the safety of the MAGSR family. 

Blake made the journey across the country in early June. This handsome guy had never placed a paw off of the property prior to his removal at the end of May. Although many precautions were put into place before anyone was moved, it was known that this change would be extremely stressful for every dog involved. Everything and everyone would be new to this guy. Blake safely made his way across the country thanks to an amazing pair of transporters. Upon his arrival our team recognized that Blake would need a patient and structured household that would support him as he learned to socialize outside his pack. We also recognized that Blake would need time to decompress and adjust to his new life. Placed in a loving foster family, Blake has been learning some of the ins and outs of living in a household. He has adjusted very well to his furry foster family and follows their lead well. Although his foster family has been working very hard with Blake, he continues to need time and opportunities to learn how to socialize with people. As he moves into a forever home, training will be key to Blake's success. Training will help Blake build social skills and the confidence needed to continue to move forward. It will also help him learn to look to the handler for direction while building a healthy bond with his forever family. Blake is looking for a forever family that will give him time to adjust to the rules and routines of the household. He is also hoping that they will be patient and give him endless opportunities to socialize safely in varied environments and with different people. 

This stunning guy has been working hard to develop some of the key foundational skills needed to meet with success. If your family has the patience, structure, and leadership needed to help this special guy thrive, ask to meet him today!

DESCRIPTION:

Handsome Zeus was picked up as a stray and brought to a local shelter. Upon his arrival staff members fell in love with this big, beautiful boy. An immediate staff favorite, Zeus enjoyed interacting with volunteers as it was clear he had been well socialized with people. Although Zeus was noted to be big and friendly, it was also noted that he needed medical support. Zeus was underweight, filthy, missing a significant amount of hair on his back-end, covered in fleas, and suffering from an allergic reaction from the fleas leaving him with open sores. It is not known how long Zeus had been suffering, but it is evident that this level of need did not happen overnight. Although shelter staff began addressing his needs, it was clear that Zeus would be most successful if placed with a rescue so that his specific needs could be met. When MAGSR learned that Zeus needed a safe place to land in order to move forward, our team immediately stepped forward to help. 

Zeus is a happy, intelligent, and playful guy. He enjoys the company of his people, but also reads the handler very well. As is true of many shepherds, Zeus will look to see what he can and cannot get away with just to make life a little more exciting. As he is a lot of dog and can be pushy, Zeus is most successful with a calm, clear, and confident handler. Having clearly been exposed to toys, Zeus loves to play ball and greatly enjoys squeaky plush toys. He often carries a toy around in his mouth on his daily walks. Capable of easily tearing up toys, Zeus is hoping his forever family has an endless supply of tough toys so that there will be time to play every day. Highly food motivated, Zeus will work for treats and food. He already knows a few commands, such as sit and come. However, as a smart guy, he will see if he can get away with getting treats for free without having to work. Training will go a long way with Zeus. Not only will it help him develop a healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

MAGSR has been working hard to ensure that Zeus' medical needs are addressed. In the last few weeks, Zeus has been putting on some much needed weight. He still needs to gain a few more pounds in order to be the ideal size. His foster family has also been working with one of our amazing vetting partners to address Zeus' skin needs. Zeus' sores have healed and he is growing new fur. With his sores closing, Zeus has been getting regular baths and has done very well. His fur is shiny again and his skin is looking much healthier. As Zeus is healing nicely, we are able to focus on giving him increased opportunities to enjoy being a dog. Zeus is looking for a forever home that will provide him with the structure, routine, patience, and leadership that all GSDs crave. His ideal family will fill his days with plenty of toys, regular exercise, and endless snuggles. If Zeus sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet this incredible guy today!

Updates:

Zeus has been living with one of our experienced foster families over the last few months. During this time he has had the opportunity to decompress, learn the rules and expectations of the household, and address some of his medical needs. A goofball at heart, Zeus is always trying something new - moving couches to get balls he has lost behind them, shopping on every shelf and in every cabinet for the perfect toy, and finding a way to get his large frame on top of desks just to make sure he can see his foster dad come home. His foster family has greatly enjoyed Zeus' continuous antics and has been working hard to set clear rules and boundaries. They have quickly learned that it's never a dull day when Zeus is in your life. Zeus gets daily opportunities to enjoy the outdoors but when the weather is warm, he prefers short breaks outside and a cool floor to lounge around on inside. All that fur really does keep him warm. He is patiently waiting for winter. 

Daily playtime is a must for Zeus. He has specific toys that bring unending entertainment, such as balls and squeaky fish. He also has toys that are soothing and will often be found sleeping with them right under his chin. Zeus is slowly integrating into his pack, but clear rules and boundaries are best. He would prefer to be in charge and likes things a certain way. In his world, his toys are his and sharing isn't really on the table. Really, don't we all have certain things that we would prefer to keep to ourselves? He also prefers an orderly pack - too much rough housing just isn't his style. He enjoys pack walks and hang time with his foster family both human and furry but prefers to play with his human family only. 

Medically, Zeus has made so much progress since arriving. He now has soft, clean fur covering the entirety of his body. He has well manicured nails and is the perfect weight. The itchy, skinny dog with the open sores now looks and feels much better. Unfortunately, as we began addressing his medical needs, a concern with Zeus' mobility came to the surface. Recognizing that something was off with Zeus' backend, one of our incredible vetting partners began working with Zeus to figure out what was going on. After lab work, tests, and x-rays were run, it was discovered that Zeus has severe spondylosis at the top and the bottom of his spine. Spondylosis is a degenerative joint disease in dogs that causes bony spurs to form along the spine. His condition is so advanced that it is causing vertebral fusion. Although this condition can be very painful, in Zeus' case, pain has not been noted. The lack of pain, weakness in his hind limbs, and overall presentation has resulted in a second diagnosis of early stages of degenerative myopathy (DM). This is an inherited neurological disease that will, overtime, result in an inability to walk. Although the secondary diagnosis was exceptionally difficult to digest, Zeus‘ foster family is providing him with every opportunity to enjoy his world on the daily basis. Please consider donating to Zeus‘s care. Your donation will not only help Zeus continue to get the excellent supportive care needed to remain comfortable but it will also help other medical dogs in need.

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. Murray is friendly, playful, and an interactive guy who loves to join in and snuggle with everyone. He loves his furry siblings but is also happy to hang out with other dogs and people. Having already begun socializing with new people, animals, and in new environments, Murray is already building a solid foundation. It is imperative that his family continue this process as he moves forward. Murray, like all dogs, will thrive in a home with structure, routine, and leadership. With the right set-up, we know this little sweetheart will be impressive. Although Murray 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, Murray will become a stable and confident adult. Murray is looking for a forever family that will cherish him for a lifetime. If he sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today!

Updates:

Murray is a social dynamo.  He enjoys being with people and particularly enjoys a good long nap on a lap.  He loves to instigate play with his siblings and the larger dogs in the house.  If his eyes are open, he is on the move! He is also farthest along in the housebreaking – he will scratch the back door when he needs to go out.  HOORAY!  He is only 10 weeks old, so he still has a way to go but off to a great start   He is also starting to work on leash walking a bit in the yard.

Little Mur-man is an awesome little pup and a delight in and out of the house. He plays with his foster cousins like a pro: he has lots of fun with our 18mo pup who's taught him the tricks of the trade and respects our older girl's boundaries wonderfully. He definitely enjoys playtime, but has shown an incredible talent for... sitting! When he doesn't know what to do, he just sits right down. Such a good boy, and we know he'll make an amazing addition to his future family.

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.

DESCRIPTION:

Obie was picked up as a stray in the south and brought to a shelter where he waited patiently for his family to come and claim him. Unfortunately, no one stepped forward for this handsome guy. So, he waited patiently for a new family of his very own. As he waited, the shelter staff fell in love with this boy. His happy-go-lucky personality and unending tail wags bring smiles to everyone he meets. Although shelters everywhere are struggling with overwhelming numbers of animals in need, Obie was incredibly lucky when shelter staff endlessly advocated for him to keep him alive and wait for the right placement. Unlike so many others, Obie was protected and waited for 6 months at the shelter for placement. When we learned that Obie needed a chance with a rescue that would make his wish come true, we knew this boy would find success with MAGSR. Obie's incredible team came together for him and made sure that he had the vetting needed and volunteers in place to make his journey to the mid-Atlantic and join MAGSR. We promised all of his fans that we would find him a forever home that would adore him forever. 

Obie is a joyful guy. He is friendly and ready for an adventure. Having done well with other dogs at the shelter, Obie was a good doggy tester and read situations well. We do not know anything about Obie's past prior to his arrival at the shelter, but we do know that this boy was well-socialized with people and other dogs and does well in all environments. Obie seems to go with the flow remarkably well for a dog that has been through so many changes. At this time Obie is settling in with one of our amazing foster families. They are giving him opportunities to interact with new people and other dogs, play with toys, and experience the joy and comfort of a loving home.

Obie, like all of our dogs, will benefit from structure, routine, and leadership. Set expectations and guidance will help him thrive. Although Obie has an endless list of positive attributes, he will need to work on his leash manners. He is so excited about the world that he can forget to walk with his people and tries to pull ahead. Training will be critical to Obie's success. Not only will training help Obie develop a special bond with his family, but it will also help Obie develop into a good canine citizen. If your family is looking for a happy-go-lucky, adventurous guy, ask to meet outstanding Obie today!

Updates:

Having been with his foster for several months, we can confidently say that Obie is the happiest, friendliest, easiest dog ever! He gets along well with every person and dog he has met. He doesn’t bark and doesn’t jump on people. He is not really interested in playing with toys or chewing on bones; Obie just loves to snuggle on the couch with his people where he can get all the pets and love! Don’t worry, he will get up and follow you to the kitchen or wherever you are going. When you talk to him, he has very expressive eyes, ears and head tilts.

Obie often comes to school pick-up and is very popular with all of the elementary school kids, including his foster family's nine-year-old son and all of his friends. He also does great with his foster mom and dad's older parents. A true lovebug, Obie is very gentle and loves being the center of attention. Obie does the cutest happy dance when you are preparing his meals. Because he's just happy to be loved, Obie is constantly wagging his tail. He loves going for walks, being brushed, and giving endless kisses. He is always ready to go for a ride and quickly jumps right into cars and trucks. Obie is excited when the other dog in the home returns from a walk and greets him at the door. He loves his crate and gladly runs right in when told and often naps in there with the door open. Doesn't he seem like he deserves a loving home? It could be yours!

DESCRIPTION:

Pebbles is a survivor. She and over 40 other animals (many of which were dogs) were rescued when their home caught fire. Fortunately, neighbors saw smoke rising from her 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 Pebbles move forward in the safety of the MAGSR family, we knew that this lovely girl deserved every opportunity to find a forever family. 

Pebbles is absolutely stunning. As an intelligent and curious girl, she is interested in exploring the world around her. However, as a trauma survivor, Pebbles needs time to adjust to new people and new situations. She does very well when given time and patience. Once comfortable, Pebbles is a sweet and loving girl. Recognizing that Pebbles would be most successful if given the chance to build confidence, MAGSR placed her with one of our training partners to set her up for success. Pebbles has greatly benefited from training; however, it is critical that her forever family continue this process. Training will not only help Pebbles create a strong, healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Pebbles is looking for an amazing forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. If this special lady sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

DESCRIPTION:

Beautiful Nala is the mother of the Fall puppies - Autumn, Cider, Ember, Maple, Pumpkin, and Sweet Potato (Tator) - and the mate to Simba. Having had an accidental litter last year, their family recognized that it is very difficult to properly train, care for, and provide adequate stimulation for a large number of dogs. Recognizing that this special furry family would be most successful if placed within a breed specific rescue, their family contacted MAGSR. Last fall, dad (Simba) and the Fall puppies were all surrendered to MAGSR. Although we offered to welcome mom (Nala) when the remainder of the furry family was surrendered, Nala's owners wanted to keep her. Unfortunately, circumstances changed almost a year later and Nala needed immediate placement. With a no family left behind policy, our team did not think twice when asked to welcome Nala. With the last member of this family in our care, we will continue our mission to find safe and loving forever homes for every member of the family.

Nala moved into the rescue a few weeks ago. Although she was loved by her family, she was not given many opportunities to socialize outside of her family (both human and canine). She had lived on her family's property throughout her life and did not take many trips out and about. As a result, she is a little overwhelmed by all of the changes happening right now. Our team has been working with Nala to provide her with socialization in controlled settings, with new people, and animals. We are also beginning to teach basic manners and training. Training, as is true with all dogs, is key to Nala's success. It is critical that her forever family continue Nala's socialization and get into a solid training program. Not only will this help Nala develop a healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the confidence and stability needed to become a good canine citizen. Nala is an intelligent and active girl, who is looking for a family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that family be you?

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. Cal is friendly, goofy, and an interactive guy. He loves his furry siblings but is also happy to hang out with other dogs and people. Having already begun socializing with new people, animals, and in new environments, Cal is already building a solid foundation. It is imperative that his family continue this process as he moves forward. Cal, like all dogs, will thrive in a home with structure, routine, and leadership. With the right set-up, we know this little sweetheart will be impressive. Although Cal 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, Cal will become a stable and confident adult. Cal is looking for a forever family that will cherish him for a lifetime. If he sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today!

Updates:

Cal is our little kisser – he is a ball of energy and loves to play and then check in for a kiss.  He loves to play with his brother Murray and explore every inch of the backyard.  He is very bright and curious. He has figured out how to open the gate in the kitchen if it is not locked! He is beginning to recognize potty expectations, but hey, he is only 10 weeks old, so he misses sometimes. He's a typical puppy so messes are expected! He is also starting to work on leash walking a bit in the yard.

Meenie loves her chew toys and is slowly catching on to the joys of fetch. Meenie is an intelligent observer pup - she's bold enough to approach a stranger or new animal and smart enough to take their cues regarding how to proceed. Meenie is already well on her way to being crate trained and housebroken with only an occasional accident in the home. Like any puppy, she thrives when supported by clear boundaries, patience, and a mountain of love and chew toys. This is so helpful when learning the routines of her home.

DESCRIPTION:

Charming Cooper joined the MAGSR family as an owner-surrender with two of his littermates - Buster and Buddy. 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 Cooper's family that we would find him an incredible forever family that would cherish him for a lifetime. 

Cooper is an intelligent and energetic guy. Quick to pick-up new skills, Cooper is drawn to a calm, confident handler that provides leadership and structure. Although Cooper is an amazing guy, it can take him a few minutes to warm up to new people and situations. Once given the time to adjust and build trust, Cooper relaxes and responds well to the handler. Having lived in a home with other dogs and older kids, Cooper did well with the pack and enjoyed the company of all members of his family. As is true of his brothers, Cooper is crate trained and understands that the crate is a safe and calm place. Cooper will thrive in an environment that has structure, routine, and leadership. As a young guy, Cooper has plenty of energy and enjoys his playtime. He is hoping to find an active forever family that will give him opportunities to learn and play during the day and plenty of snuggles at night. Moving forward, it is critical that Cooper's family provide him with continued socialization and training. These vital components are essential to his success. If your family is looking for a handsome, playful, and adventurous guy, ask to meet Cooper today!

DESCRIPTION:

Handsome Hemi was picked up as a stray in the south. 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 Hemi. 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 Hemi wouldn't survive if help didn't arrive fast. Recognizing that a rescue plea was his last chance, the call for help was sent out. Although we were also just about at capacity, team MAGSR knew that Hemi was special. We welcomed him to the family and promised to find him an amazing home. 

Hemi is sweet as pie and quickly wins over everyone he meets. Clearly well socialized by someone along his journey, this guy is a lover. In our care he has also done well with other dogs. Although clearly a happy guy, Hemi is also a big, powerful guy. Social, but lacking manners, Hemi is just beginning to learn that those big paws of his belong on the ground. It is clear that general rules and expectations were not in place prior to his arrival. This has made Hemi a clean slate. Hemi is looking for a patient family that will both teach him the ins and outs of living in a household and the expectations of walking on a leash. He will thrive with structure, routine, and clear leadership in place. As he moves forward, it is critical that Hemi participate in training. Training will not only help Hemi create a strong bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

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

DESCRIPTION:

Bodacious Bubba and his pal, Suzie, 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 Bubba and Suzie 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. 

Bubba is a stunning guy. Clearly an intelligent boy, Bubba is food motivated and is ready to start learning the ins and outs of becoming a good canine citizen. Friendly, adventurous, and active, Bubba, like his buddy, Suzie, has a healthy supply of shepherd energy. As a result, he is looking for a forever family that will exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. This will help Bubba develop the stability and confidence needed to become a healthy adult dog. In many ways a blank slate, Bubba does not yet know general leash manners or household expectations. However, as a motivated guy, we know he will pick up these skills quickly. Fortunately, our volunteers have already begun working with Bubba to develop some basic manners. Moving forward, training will be critical to Bubba's success. Not only will training help Bubba develop a healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Bubba is looking for an active family that will provide him with the structure, routine, and leadership that all GSDs crave.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, and training, Moe will become a stable and confident adult.

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:

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!

DESCRIPTION:

Emmie, like so many other pups, was dumped at an overcrowded shelter in the south. Although she 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. Emmie did very well in her foster home and seemed to be somewhat familiar with living in a household. She is looking for a family that will provide her with the structure, routine, and leadership that all GSDs crave. This will help her adjust to the rules and expectations of her new home. As a sweet, friendly, and playful girl, Emmie has an impressive personality. She enjoys the company of her people and has done well with other dogs. Although Emmie has been an amazing mom to her babies, she is in many ways still a pup herself. Goofy, affectionate and ready for an adventure, this girl is looking for a family that will provide her with daily exercise for both her body and her mind. This routine will help Emmie continue to develop the stability and confidence needed to become a good canine citizen. As she moves forward, Emmie will benefit from training. Not only will training help Emmie build a strong bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. Emmie is looking for an amazing family that enjoys adventures during the day and plenty of snuggles at night. If she sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

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.

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. Aurora is the smallest of the litter, but she is also the bravest of the bunch. Ready to explore the world to its fullest, Aurora is a mighty little lady. Although Aurora is precious as can be, 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 Aurora 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!

Aurora may be the smallest but she is the mightest!

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 Cubby 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 cute Cubby into your home, ask to meet him today.

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!

How could we possibly say no to this big, goofy boy. 

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.
