Tahoe is a lucky guy. Picked-up as a stray and brought to a shelter that was significantly over capacity for care, this guy was living on borrowed time. As shelters across the country are overflowing and not enough families are stepping forward to adopt, many animals do not make it out. When a family did not step forward for Tahoe, it seemed like his fate was sealed. Fortunately, another rescue had a temp foster open up and Tahoe was pulled from the shelter right before he was euthanized. Although it was known that a breed specific rescue would be needed in the future, the rescue began working with Tahoe to ensure that his medical needs were met. Tahoe had his vetting updated and his heartworm treatment completed while living with an amazing foster family. They loved him but knew that with treatment complete, it was time to move Tahoe forward. When asked if we could be the next stop on Tahoe's journey, team MAGSR stepped forward and welcomed this handsome boy to the family. 

Tahoe is an absolute sweetheart. Easy to leash, gentle with treats, and beyond happy to lean into the handler for love and attention, this guy simply steals your heart. Clearly well-socialized with people, Tahoe understands that company is nice to have. However, as is true with many shepherds, he prefers a little time to get to know new people and adjust to new environments. Having lived in a foster home, Tahoe has had the opportunity to learn many of the ins and outs of living in a household. He is housebroken and crate trained. He has even had the chance to live with other dogs and did very well. Friendly and affectionate, Tahoe seems to have a nice foundation. As he moves forward, Tahoe will benefit from continued controlled socialization with new people and in new environments. Although he already knows some basic commands, such as, sit, down, and shake, he will benefit greatly from training. Training will be key to his success. Not only will it help him create a healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the confidence and skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Tahoe is looking for a forever family that enjoys a moderate energy guy, treats, and daily belly rubs. If this sweetheart sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today!

Mable was picked up as a stray in the south. When she arrived at the shelter, it was highly evident that this girl needed help. Extremely emaciated, still lactating from a recent litter, heartworm positive, and suffering from dislocated hip and a fractured pelvis, shelter staff knew this girl was in rough shape. Although she was unable to walk, Mabel was still all tail wags and love as she attempted to interact with shelter staff, particularly when they brought high-value treats to say hi. Recognizing that they did not have the resources to help Mabel, the shelter added her to their list to be euthanized as a way to end her suffering rather than leave her in pain and without proper care. Fortunately, a foster for another rescue in the area stepped up for Mabel at the last second and she was pulled just in time. 

Living in the safety of a loving and experienced foster home, Mabel started the long path toward recovery. Strengthening her system for the road ahead, Mabel began gaining some much needed weight. With good nutrition and the chance to begin healing, Mabel made the progress needed to start addressing her health concerns. A few weeks ago, Mabel underwent surgery for her hip and pelvis. She was a champ throughout the entire process and is recovering nicely. As the healing process is moving along as expected and Mabel is feeling much more like a healthy dog again, her foster mom knew it was time to find a breed specific rescue for Mabel so that she could move forward with . Knowing we could help Mabel complete the rest of her medical journey as well as find her an amazing forever home. Mabel is still healing from a FHO but is mobile and doing well. She needs restricted walks and should not be bouncing around for a few more weeks. As Mabel is heartworm positive, she will be on restricted exercise moving forward. Due to the condition in which she arrived in foster care, Mabel needed to gain strength and weight before heartworm treatment could begin. As these milestones have been met, Mabel can begin this next process. Mabel is good with other dogs and people. She is unknown for kids and cats. 

Fabulous Fatu was picked up as a stray and brought to a shelter. This charismatic boy easily won over staff members and even had the chance to meet some older children. Although it seemed that Fatu had been loved by someone along his way, no one came forward to bring him home. As shelters are beyond overwhelmed with dogs needing placement, many dogs end up on the list to be euthanized. Recognizing that this boy was very special, the rescue community began working together to try to find a temporary foster and rescue placement for this sweet guy. Teamwork was Fatu's saving grace. Working with several different groups and an amazing foster family, MAGSR was able to pull Fatu the day he was scheduled to be euthanized. We cannot thank the rescue community enough for all of their support. 

Fabulous Fatu is a young, happy, and intelligent guy. Still a juvenile, he can display some typical puppy energy, particularly when playing with other dogs. However, for his age, Fatu is surprisingly calm and gentle. It is beyond evident that this guy has been loved and well socialized by someone prior to his arrival. A sweet, chill guy, Fatu enjoys the company of people and other dogs particularly when given a few minutes to warm up. With so many changes in his life lately, we cannot blame this handsome guy for wanting a minute to adjust. Although we do not know much about his past, it is clear that Fatu understands many of the ins and outs of living in a household. He is housebroken and is doing a fantastic job with crate training. A huge fan of cuddles and soft, warm beds, Fatu enjoys the comforts and security of living in a home. As is true of all new dogs, Fatu will need time to adjust to the routines and expectations of his forever family. With time, patience, structure, and leadership, we know that Fatu will thrive. Like many young dogs, Fatu does need to learn some leash manners. Training and continued socialization will be key to his success. Training will not only help him create a strong, healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Fatu's gentle nature and cautious curiosity make him a wonderful companion for anyone looking for a sweet, easygoing friend. If this handsome boy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today. 

Recently, the MAGSR family welcomed a small litter of cruelty and neglect survivors - the Chipmunks litter. Alvin, Simon, and Theodore were born into a home with limited resources. The boys did not receive the food, medical care, daily support, or environmental cleanliness necessary to ensure that they were healthy pups. Upon arrival, our team discovered that the boys were malnourished, riddled with worms, dirty, and sick. In addition, two of the boys had some additional medical needs that raised immediate concerns. Theodore arrived with a large, fluid filled lump on his head which was likely the result of trauma. Simon arrived with a dislocated back right leg that had been out of the socket for some time. Recognizing they needed immediate support, volunteers worked collaboratively to get their vetting addressed, begin a safe feeding schedule, and move all three pups forward. Unfortunately, just as we thought the litter was moving in the right direction, two of the boys popped positive with parvo. Knowing that immediate care was needed, the boys were rushed to the emergency room where they were hospitalized. Parvo is a highly contagious virus; it is particularly challenging for puppies with weak immune systems to survive. Keeping the boys hydrated, controlling their GI upset, preventing secondary infections, monitoring their bloodwork, and providing medications, one of our incredible vetting partners provided the boys with the critical care needed to fight. Parvo care is very expensive. But, we knew these babies deserved every chance to fight this diagnosis. Donations are appreciated as this will help us continue to support and welcome dogs with medical needs. 

Although they have been through one obstacle after another, Theodore and his brothers - Simon and Alvin - have maintained sweet and solid personalities. They are playful, handsome, energetic boys. Having survived against the odds, these boys have turned a page and are ready to learn the joys of living in a loving home. Living with amazing foster families, the boys remain loving and affectionate with both their human and furry friends.  With clear routines, expectations, and leadership in place, the boys are thriving. The MAGSR family has taught the boys the joys of a comfortable bed, the importance of exciting toys, the ins and outs of housebreaking, and the value of socializing with others.

Theodore is a social and affectionate guy. He is learning the ins and outs of living in a loving household and seems to be enjoying every minute of his new life. Typical of the breed, Theodore and his brother Alvin, love to be with their people. Theodore will make an amazing companion ensuring that his forever family always has a furry shadow following close behind them. As is typical with puppies, Theodore believes in the magic of endless playtime and toys. He understands just how much joy playtime brings to the entire family and hopes his forever family will indulge in daily activities with him. Training, play, and socialization will be critical to his success. This will help Theodore develop the skills needed to become a stable and confident adult. 

Although the boys are as sweet as they can be, please remember that puppies are hard work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience and routine, we know Theodore will grow up to become a good canine citizen. If your household is ready to welcome this handsome little man into your home, please ask to meet him today!

Star and her sister, Noel, were born into a loving household. They lived there happily with another member of their family. Although the girls were cherished, when an unexpected circumstance arose, Star and Noel needed to be rehomed. This was a devastating decision for their family. Hoping they could find them a home on their own, they exhausted resource after resource trying to find an option for the girls. With a system overloaded with dogs and the need to find safe options for both girls, their family had almost given up hope. With one last try, they turned to MAGSR. Recognizing these girls were something special, our team came together to ensure that Star and Noel could move forward safely in the MAGSR family.

Star and Noel are stunning girls. Both a little unsure with new people and in new situations, they need a little time to adjust. When given time, patience, and a safe surrounding, the girls warm up to new people nicely. Having lived with an older child, the Star and Noel would likely do well with calm and respectful children. Star is the more energetic of the girls. She is always ready for a little play time and can often be caught bouncing around with a favorite toy. Star is looking for a household that will support her love for playtime and adventures. She wants to please and will be the "Star" at training. Training is critical to her success. Not only will training help Star develop a healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her build the confidence needed to become a good canine citizen. Having lived in a loving home, Star understands many of the ins and outs of living in a household. She is crate trained and housebroken. However, as is true of all GSDs, she will need time to adjust to the rules and expectations of her forever family. Star is looking for a forever family that will cherish her goofy spirit for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet Star today!

Harmony, like so many others, was picked up as a stray and brought to animal control. As an incredibly social girl, shelter staff were sure that she belonged to someone. They posted her far and wide. Then, they waited patiently for her family to come and claim her. Everyone was shocked when no one stepped forward for this incredible girl. Thinking she would be an amazing addition to a household, they placed her up for adoption. Unfortunately, with an overwhelming number of dogs looking for homes, Harmony was just one in hundreds from the shelter looking for placement. Although shelter staff absolutely adored Harmony, when no one stepped up to adopt her, she was placed on the list to be euthanized due to space. Knowing they needed to find placement for Harmony and fast, shelter staff began pleading with rescue groups to save this special girl. Fortunately, a team of rescuers, transporters, and a foster came together in the nick of time and MAGSR was able to welcome Harmony to the family. 

Harmony is an active, intelligent, and affectionate girl. Someone along her journey clearly took the time to teach Harmony about the world around her. She adores people of all ages and has done well with other dogs. However, she, like many other GSDs, can be a little dominant when playing. Having been fortunate to have lived with a foster family, Harmony has already begun to learn the ins and outs of living in a home. It is highly evident that she thrives with routine, structure, patience, and leadership. As a young GSD, Harmony is looking for an active household that will provide her with daily exercise for both her body and her mind. She is a people pleaser and is always ready to try new things. Training will be critical to Harmony's success. Not only will training help Harmony create a close bond with her forever family, but it will also help her become a good canine citizen. Harmony has been waiting for a family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that family be you?

Happy and her baby, Huck, were dumped at a small rural shelter. Although they were both shocked to be surrounded by so many stressed animals, it was highly apparent that this stunning pair had been socialized by someone along their journey. They are both friendly and affectionate. However, too skinny and very dirty, both dogs were in need of some good nutrition, a warm bath, and a safe place to move forward. With shelters and rescues sitting at or above capacity right now, the minute they arrived Happy and Huck were in danger. Shelter staff adored the pair, but due to space issues, they knew that a rescue placement was necessary to ensure that both moved forward safely. When a rescue plea went out, we knew that Happy and Huck deserved the safety and security of the MAGSR family. 

Happy is a delightful little lady. Intelligent, snuggly, and your typical velcro dog. This girl loves being with her people and makes an incredible companion. Clearly socialized prior to her arrival, Happy loves her people but can be a little unsure until she knows you are safe. Good with children, Happy seems to understand the sounds and movements of littles. She is careful, affectionate, and watchful around them. Having lived with puppies, Happy has done well with other dogs. However, as is true of many dogs, she will set boundaries. Although we do not know much about her past, it is highly evident that Happy has been in a home. She understands many of the routines and expectations of living in a home. Happy is housebroken and crate trained. Typical of the breed, she thrives with structure, routine, and leadership. Training will go a long way with Happy. Very food motivated, this lady will quickly rise to the top of the class. Training will not only help Happy 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. 

Unfortunately, we have learned that Happy is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided with monthly preventatives. Recognizing that treatment is needed to move forward, MAGSR has already begun this process. Happy will need to take it easy over the next few months as her body clears the worms. Heartworm treatment is expensive, but we know Happy is beyond worth the cost. Please consider donating to Happy's care so that she can continue to move forward with the medical care needed to meet with success. Happy is looking for a special forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. If this adorable lady sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

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.

Exceptional Elsa was absolutely adored by her family. They welcomed her to their home as a young pup and had hoped to spend a lifetime with her. Unfortunately, circumstances do not always work out as we plan. When it became clear that Elsa would need to be rehomed, her family searched for an incredible match for their girl. As they searched, it became clear that Elsa would be most successful if placed through a breed specific rescue. This would ensure that she would be placed in a safe, loving, and knowledgeable home where she would thrive. Saying goodbye is never an easy decision, but Elsa's family knew we would ensure she found the perfect forever family. 

Elsa is a young, beautiful, and active girl. Quick witted and a good read of the handler, Elsa's intelligence is one of her many incredible qualities. Still very young, Elsa has boundless shepherd energy. It is key that her family work with her daily exercising both her body and her mind. She will also benefit from continued socialization with new people and in different environments.

Handsome Venvi was picked up as a stray. When brought to animal services, it was clear that he had been through some trauma. Non-weight bearing on one of his legs, too skinny, and needing a little extra TLC, shelter staff began working together to ensure that Venvi was safe and comfortable. They began working with a local vet who assessed Venvi's injury. It was determined that Venvi had a soft tissue injury that would heal with time, pain medication, and rest. With his medical needs being addressed, Venvi waited patiently for his family to come and claim him. Staff members were shocked when no one stepped forward. As shelters remain at critical capacity, once stray holds have been completed, many animals are placed on lists to be euthanized as there are simply not enough spaces for the number of dogs in need. Venvi, like so many others, was placed on this list. Fortunately, an incredible group of people began advocating for this guy. When word reached MAGSR, he had just hours left. With the help of an incredible foster, amazing transporters, and another rescue, we were able to welcome Venvi to the MAGSR family. 

Venvi is a social, affectionate, and energetic guy. This big goofball is all about filling his days with joy. Having recovered from his injury, he is ready to live life to the fullest. Venvi is looking for an active family that will exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. This will help him maintain a balanced and stable personality. Training will be critical to Venvi's success. Not only will it help him create a healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the essential skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Venvi, like all dogs, will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. He is lucky to have an amazing foster family that is teaching him the ins and outs of living in a household. Although Venvi is learning about living in a home, he will need time to adjust to the expectations and routines of his forever family. Venvi cannot wait to finally settle down with a family of his very own. If this happy guy sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today. 

The Nemo Litter was born under a trailer about ten weeks ago. Fortunately, they were noticed by community members and were monitored carefully. As their mom wasn't comfortable with people, steps were being taken to try to help the entire family, but moving forward required time and patience. Unfortunately, soon after the Nemo babies began crawling around, mom spooked, left, and didn’t return. Recognizing the nine babies in the Nemo litter (Coral, Bubbles, Crush, Dory, Marlin, Nemo, Nigel, Squirt, and Pearl) needed help, community members stepped up to ensure they were cared for and loved. As they got older, the rescue sponsoring them began looking for a breed specific rescue to welcome the Nemo litter and find them all amazing forever families. MAGSR stepped forward to welcome the entire litter into our care. 

Our team was preparing to move the babies into foster homes when it was noticed that something was not right with several members of the litter. They had suddenly become weak, were struggling to keep food down, began experiencing gastrointestinal issues, and clearly needed help. Our team immediately rushed the babies to the emergency room. Tests were administered and it was determined that the Nemo litter was positive for parvo. Parvo is a highly contagious virus; it is particularly challenging for puppies to survive. One of our amazing vetting partners stepped into action and began working with the Nemo litter to keep them hydrated, control their GI upset, and prevent secondary infections, while also keeping them monitored and loved. Parvo care is very expensive. But, we knew these little lives were special and deserved every chance to fight this diagnosis. We have been incredibly lucky to have so many people step forward to support these babies. This has given us the opportunity to provide critical care; however, donations are still needed. Please consider donating to the Nemo litter so that we can continue to welcome dogs with medical needs. 

Although MAGSR fought hard to save the lives of all nine puppies, two members of this litter, Bubbles and Pearl, lost their fight and crossed the rainbow bridge the weekend they arrived. Their siblings have mourned this loss while comforted by our amazing MAGSR volunteers. Although Pearl and Bubbles have left lasting memories that will always be part of this litter's story, the Nemo litter is taking significant steps so that they can continue to move forward. As they heal under the watchful eyes of their foster families, these babies are hoping that forever families are waiting in the wings for them. Once symptoms have ended and ten days have passed, the Nemo puppies will be ready to join their forever families. Coral is waiting patiently for that special day when her family welcomes her into their home and gives her a last name. If your family is ready to welcome this special little girl into your home, ask to set up a meeting with Coral today! 

Diesel and his buddy, Vader, were adored by their family. Unfortunately, due to an unexpected circumstance, their family was not able to continue to keep the boys and had no choice but to rehome them. Saying goodbye is never an easy decision. We knew this was not in the plans for the boys. However, sometimes things happen that are beyond our control. Knowing that Vader and Diesel were incredible boys that deserved to find loving forever families, their family turned to MAGSR for help. We knew Vader and Diesel had been raised by an incredible family that wanted to ensure that they would be safe and loved. We promised to find both boys amazing forever families that would love them for a lifetime. 

Diesel is an absolute sweetheart. As an intelligent, stable, and active guy, he is looking for a forever family that will provide him with daily opportunities to exercise both his body and his mind. Having lived with the same family his entire life, Diesel has had the opportunity to develop a strong foundation of social skills. He enjoys handshakes and will, if allowed, give hugs. With some significant changes in his life recently, Diesel has maintained his confident nature. However, it is critical that his forever family provides him with structure, routine, and leadership so that he adjusts appropriately to his forever family. Household expectations are not new to Diesel. He is already housebroken and crate trained. However, as is true of any new dog, he will need time to adjust to the routines and expectations of his new home. Training will be critical to his success. Not only will training help Diesel create a healthy bond with his family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Diesel is hoping to find a forever family that will provide him with adventures, plenty of neck rubs, and endless opportunities to meet with success. If Diesel sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today!

Rahja was absolutely adored by her family, particularly the little boy in her life. Unfortunately, when circumstances changed in the household, her family was forced to make the difficult decision to find Rahja a new home. This is never an easy decision. However, sometimes loving your dog means knowing when to ask for help. Our team knew that Rahja was special the moment they met her. We knew that saying goodbye was very difficult for her family and promised to find her an incredible forever family. 

Rahja is a stunning, intelligent, and social girl. She is responsive to the handler and has some basic commands already in place. A shepherd in every way, Rahja is focused, observant, and quick to pick-up on varied handling styles. As is true of many shepherds, she is eager to please. Thriving with leadership and clear expectations, Rahja gravitates toward a calm and confident handler. With some clear prey drive in place, this girl is looking for a forever family without cats or small pets. This will help her meet with success. Somewhat anxious in new situations or with new people, Rahja is looking for a household that will provide her with the time and patience needed to adjust to her new home. Although she already knows some commands, Rahja is looking forward to attending training with her forever family. Not only will training help Rahja develop a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her gain the confidence needed to become a good canine citizen. Having previously lived in a home, Rahja is crate trained and housebroken. She understands many of the ins and outs of family living. However, as is true of all new dogs, Rahja will need time to learn the rules, routines, and expectations of her forever family.

Rahja is looking for an active family that will take her on their adventures, give her plenty of play time, and snuggle up for cuddles every day. If you are looking for an intelligent, playful, and affectionate girl, look no further than Rahja.

Sweet Marmaduke is a little fighter. Having wandered up to a home with his brother the puppies were sick, filled with worms, underfed, dirty, and in need of help. Luckily the boys wandered up to the right home as the owners immediately contacted their local animal services so they could work together to get the boys everything they needed. Although appointments were put into place and rescuers were contacted for help, Marmaduke's brother passed away during the night on their second night. Recognizing that the boys were sicker than anyone realized, Marmaduke was rushed to the vet. Although everyone was hoping their worst fears were not true, unfortunately, Marmaduke popped positive for parvovirus. This disease is preventable with proper vaccinations. However, once it sets in it can take many lives. Having lost his brother and weak from everything the two had endured, we were not sure if Marmaduke would have the strength to fight. However, we also knew this little guy deserved every chance make a full recovery. So, MAGSR began working with the local shelter, a local foster, and an incredible veterinary team to ensure that Marmaduke was provided with everything he needed. As is true of many dogs suffering from parvo, Marmaduke did need to be admitted for round-the-clock care. 

Fortunately, our little fighter clearly wants to survive and has done well with the support provided. He has been released from the hospital and one of our amazing foster families has welcomed him into their home. Although this is a huge step, Marmaduke is still being monitored very closely and is receiving daily medical support. We are hoping that he continues to rest and recover so that when he is ready, this sweet and affectionate guy will find a forever family that will cherish him for a lifetime. As is true of all parvo puppies, Marmaduke's care is expensive. However, MAGSR knows that he is worth every penny. Please consider donating to Marmaduke's medical needs. Not only will this help us continue to meet his needs, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs who would not have survived without extensive medical intervention. 

Marmaduke is a special guy who has already survived more than he should have at such a young age. Our entire team is hoping he keeps fighting so that, when he is ready, he can live out his life with an incredible forever family.

Regal Rayne clearly once lived in a home with a loving family and was a beloved pet. However, his life changed drastically when he landed himself in a shelter for reasons unknown. Rayne was lucky to be pulled by a wonderful all-breed rescue and spent the last year with them searching for a family and sadly they just didn't find a good match for this special GSD. The all-breed rescue decided to reach out to MAGSR, a breed specific rescue, in hopes we could offer him a better shot of landing a home with a family of his very own. 

Rayne recently joined the MAGSR family and has begun his search for a forever family.  As is true of all GSDs, Rayne is looking for a home that will provide him with structure, routine and consistency. This will help him decompress and build a strong and stable relationship with his forever family. Rayne will benefit from continued socialization in a structured manner along with a family that will keep up with the training program he has been through with one of MAGSR's training partners. As with any typical German Shepherd, Rayne will be a loyal protector and take his job very seriously. Rayne would do best with a family that has breed experience and needs to be the one and only pet in the home. He prefers to be the apple of his family's eye. 

Rayne is cuddly and sweet and would be an amazing companion. He loves to cuddle in with his people and would love to share that pizza crust with you. If you would love to spend your time with a regal guy that is seasoned and just gets better with age and wouldn't mind sharing some pizza crust, reach out to MAGSR today. 

The Nemo Litter was born under a trailer about ten weeks ago. Fortunately, they were noticed by community members and were monitored carefully. As their mom wasn't comfortable with people, steps were being taken to try to help the entire family, but moving forward required time and patience. Unfortunately, soon after the Nemo babies began crawling around, mom spooked, left, and didn’t return. Recognizing the nine babies in the Nemo litter (Coral, Bubbles, Crush, Dory, Marlin, Nemo, Nigel, Squirt, and Pearl) needed help, community members stepped up to ensure they were cared for and loved. As they got older, the rescue sponsoring them began looking for a breed specific rescue to welcome the Nemo litter and find them all amazing forever families. MAGSR stepped forward to welcome the entire litter into our care. 

Our team was preparing to move the babies into foster homes when it was noticed that something was not right with several members of the litter. They had suddenly become weak, were struggling to keep food down, began experiencing gastrointestinal issues, and clearly needed help. Our team immediately rushed the babies to the emergency room. Tests were administered and it was determined that the Nemo litter was positive for parvo. Parvo is a highly contagious virus; it is particularly challenging for puppies to survive. One of our amazing vetting partners stepped into action and began working with the Nemo litter to keep them hydrated, control their GI upset, and prevent secondary infections, while also keeping them monitored and loved. Parvo care is very expensive. But, we knew these little lives were special and deserved every chance to fight this diagnosis. We have been incredibly lucky to have so many people step forward to support these babies. This has given us the opportunity to provide critical care; however, donations are still needed. Please consider donating to the Nemo litter so that we can continue to welcome dogs with medical needs. 

Although MAGSR fought hard to save the lives of all nine puppies, two members of this litter, Bubbles and Pearl, lost their fight and crossed the rainbow bridge the weekend they arrived. Their siblings have mourned this loss while comforted by our amazing MAGSR volunteers. Although Pearl and Bubbles have left lasting memories that will always be part of this litter's story, the Nemo litter is taking significant steps so that they can continue to move forward. As they heal under the watchful eyes of their foster families, these babies are hoping that forever families are waiting in the wings for them. Once symptoms have ended and ten days have passed, the Nemo puppies will be ready to join their forever families. Squirt is waiting patiently for that special day when his family welcomes him into their home and gives him a last name. If your family is ready to welcome this cuddly little guy into your home, ask to set up a meeting with Squirt today! 

Huck and his mommy, Happy, were dumped at a small rural shelter. Although they were both shocked to be surrounded by so many stressed animals, it was highly apparent that this stunning pair had been socialized by someone along their journey. They are both friendly and affectionate. However, too skinny and very dirty, both dogs were in need of some good nutrition, a warm bath, and a safe place to move forward. With shelters and rescues sitting at or above capacity right now, the minute they arrived Huck and Happy were in danger. Shelter staff adored the pair, but due to space issues, they knew that a rescue placement was necessary to ensure that both moved forward safely. When a rescue plea went out, we knew the Huck and Happy deserved the safety and security of the MAGSR family. 

Huck is a happy, playful, and intelligent guy. A huge fan of people, toys, and other animals. This little sweetheart is beyond ready to take on the world. As a social butterfly, Huck wants to be part of every interaction. With those soft eyes and a great lean in, it is impossible to exclude him. Clearly an intelligent guy, Huck is meeting with incredible success when crate training and housebreaking. He has yet to have any accidents in the crate and takes care of most of his business outside. Curious about the world around him, Huck can't wait to try everything. He is beyond happy to garner attention from his people and very treat motivated; we are sure Huck is going to be a star in training. Training is critical to Huck's success. Not only will training help him build a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help Huck develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Although Huck is beyond adorable, 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, continued socialization,  and patience, we know Huck will grow-up to be an incredible adult dog. Huck will be available for adoption as of October 19th. If this handsome little ball of joy sounds like a good match for your family, set up an appointment to meet him today!
