Lovely Valentina found her way into a crowded shelter with significant puncture wounds to her neck and a fractured back leg. Based upon the size and type of wounds on her neck, it is thought that Valentines wounds were inflicted by another dog. When MAGSR got a call from another rescue asking if we could help this spirited little girl, we jumped into action. 

Valentina is seeing a combination of vets and orthopedic specialists to make sure that she gets the care she so clearly deserves. It is reported that even with all the pain she is in, Valentina is a sweetheart and brings everyone around her joy. Valentina already has a big personality that will keep her new family busy. Although Valentina is cute as can be, please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy antics and can be mischievous – they will whine, have accidents, get into things, and chew on inappropriate things. With time, patience, guidance and training, Valentina will develop into the good canine citizen she is destined to become. If Valentina sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today.

Casen's family was not able to properly care for him. As a result, they contacted an organization in the south for help. Fortunately, this group of wonderful volunteers contacted MAGSR and the rest is history.

Casen is a young, handsome, and friendly guy. He has easily won over the hearts and minds of our volunteers. Casen has come a long way to MAGSR in order to find the perfect forever home. He will benefit from some good nutrition, as Casen is significantly underweight at this time. In addition, Casen is looking for a household that will provide him with the structure, guidance and love that all young shepherds need to become good canine citizens. If Casen sounds like a good match for your family, please ask to meet him today.

Claude's previous owners decided that they no longer wanted a dog in the house so they put him outside. Unfortunately, some of the neighbors were not happy about having a dog living outside in the neighborhood, as a result, they threatened to shoot Claude. Luckily, a good samaritan heard about Claude and raced to get him out of this situation before it was too late. 

When asked if we could help Claude find a forever home that would provide the love and safety he deserved, MAGSR stepped up. Everyone that meets Claude seems to fall in love with his friendly mannerisms. He is housebroken and is working on crate training. Living with both a cat and an energetic dog, Claude has been introduced to the resident cat and showed interest but nothing concerning. He loves playing with his foster brother. The two of them have quickly become buddies. Claude will thrive in a home where he is able to benefit from attention, good exercise, and of course a lot of cuddles. 

If Claude sounds like the right match for your home, please ask to meet him today. 

Kate along with her siblings, Allie and Hunter, were surrendered to MAGSR as their family could no longer provide for them. This was a very hard decision, but Kate's family knew that MAGSR would find him and his siblings safe and loving forever homes. 

Kate is a friendly girl. She has lived with kids and other dogs. Although Kate was clearly well loved by her family, she is a little confused by all the changes in his life and needs a little time to adjust. As Kate has had time to settle, we have seen her friendly side emerge. Kate will need a household that will provide patience and structure so that she can fully adjust to her new life. If Kate sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

Riggs is your typical puppy, playful, energetic, and oh so cute. This adorable little guy loves to run and play. Currently living with other dogs, Riggs gets along well with his furry companions and socializes regularly. As he is still a puppy, Riggs is still learning all of the wonderful rules about living in a household, such as housebreaking and crate training. Puppies are a lifetime commitment that will require a lot of work. Although playful and cute, puppies get into things they shouldn't, have accidents in the house, and require a lot of attention. Riggs is looking for a household that will have the time and patience to raise a well-mannered and balanced pup. If your household is ready to commit to Riggs, please ask to meet him today.

Maggie was picked up by animal control and brought to a local shelter. Upon her arrival, it was very clear to the shelter staff that Maggie is a victim of cruelty and neglect. Maggie was extremely emaciated. Her body was covered in scabs, sores, and wounds. She was weak from lack of food and needed encouragement to get up and move. Although the shelter searched for her abusers, no one was identified. Recognizing that Maggie needed help, the shelter worked to find a safe place for Maggie to rest and recuperate.

Fortunately, Maggie has found safety in the MAGSR family. Despite all that Maggie has endured, she is a loving and affectionate dog. Once given the opportunity to warm up to new people, Maggie is all about leaning in for head rubs and giving little kisses. As Maggie has begun eating more regularly and is receiving the medical care she needs, her foster family is beginning to see her personality shine. True to the breed, Maggie is loyal and wants to be with her people. This also gives her the chance to get a few extra head rubs throughout the day. Maggie has clearly lived in a house prior to her arrival at MAGSR. She is housebroken and has some general household manners. At this time, it doesn't appear that Maggie knows any commands. As she is still recovering, her foster family has decided to slowly introduce Maggie to the children and animals in the home. However, Maggie seems to thrive in a calm environment.

All Maggie needs now is a loving forever home that will love and protect her through her gold years. If Maggie sounds like a good match for your household, please ask to meet her today.

Tango was surrendered as his family could no longer provide him with the life he deserves.  He is a very handsome, good natured, friendly boy.  He loves other dogs both big and small, he just wants to be everyone's friend. He adores children - very gentle and just snuggles in.  He has had no issues meeting new people both women and men, big or small.  He does great riding in the vehicle.  He has not been around cats, so we have no idea how he is with them.  He enjoys playing in water, be it from a hose, pool or body of water.  

Titan's family loved him very much. Unfortunately, they had to make the difficult decision to surrender him to a shelter when they could not find appropriate housing that would allow for a GSD. Prior to his arrival at the shelter, Titan lived with kids of varying ages. His family made sure to keep him well socialized, even bringing him to work from time to time.

Since his arrival at MAGSR, Titan has been identified as a goofball. He is energetic and playful. Titan is a ball dog. He loves to play ball and brings a lot of laughter when doing so. Titan, just like any dog, will benefit from training with his new family. This will not only help him bond with his new family but it will also help him become a good canine citizen. If Titan sounds like a good match for your household, please ask to meet him today.

Jasper was dumped by his former owner on a country road and picked up by animal control.  When our volunteer picked him up from the shelter it was obvious he was not feeling well and not in great shape.  He immediately went into medical boarding at one of our vets offices, where he received the best care.  He had a severe respiratory and ear infection, hair loss with a skin infection and was not eating.  All needed tests were performed and treatment was started.  As time went on he was still not wanting to eat, radiographs were taken and it was found he had foreign objects in him.  He was immediately taken to surgery where a number of assorted items were removed from his stomach.

After spending 3 weeks in medical boarding Jasper was able to go home with his foster.  He is now on the mend, starting to eat on his own and finally wagging his tail some.  He still needs to put on some more weight but his foster will be sure he never misses a much needed meal.

Through all of this he has been nothing but sweet and friendly.  Jasper is now looking for his forever family, one that will treat him with care and love him for his lifetime.  He is ready to leave his past behind and looks forward to a future of living in a home, proper nutrition, walks, playtime and lots of cuddles from his humans.

 Diesel is a large male about 1.5 years old but acts like an 8 month old puppy. He requires a strong owner who will hold him accountable, and training is a must. Diesel will require daily exercise to keep his energy in check. He still has some bad habits that will need to be worked on. Diesel is mouthy when excited, however, he responds well to correction.  He also counter surfs if not supervised. If he isn’t properly supervised in the yard he will dig. Once he has been exercised he is much calmer and listens very well.

Diesel rides well in a car and loves to go on walks. He has good leash manners and has been non reactive to dogs or people while on walks. Diesel has lived in a home with 7 other dogs while in foster without any issues. He crates well and is house broken. While in his foster home he has made great improvement regarding the negative behaviors listed here but will require continued work. He is a very sweet and lovable boy who needs the right family, to get the excess energy out and teach him what he needs to know.

Apollo is a big, handsome fellow, and he is settling in nicely in his foster home.  It has been a couple weeks so this very striking and impressive dog is starting to get past the stress of being separated from his previous family, and is showing himself to be even-tempered, affectionate, and trained GSD.  With consistent and appropriate guidance from his person, he walks very well on leash, is well-mannered passing strangers and other dogs out walking in the neighborhood, and is generally very attentive and responsive.  However, Apollo is a powerful, headstrong dog that will require structure and strong leadership, and he does show some anxiety when left completely alone so he will need to be properly managed by an experienced adopter to build his confidence and avoid potential separation anxiety.  He is comfortable with the other dogs in his foster home, and crates very well.  Apollo is alert and can be protective of his space and pack, and will alarm bark at unfamiliar people.  He listens well, and is very focused on a leader that he trusts, and will need to complete training with his new people to help build and ensure those bonds of trust.  He will thrive in a home that can provide him with the love and consistent leadership that he needs, and he deserves nothing less.  If you think Apollo might be the dog for you, please ask to learn more about him.

Lovely Olivia found herself left in a shelter drop box this summer. Although a little confused as to what all was happening to her, Olivia joined the MAGSR family and has never looked back. Throughout the rescue Olivia is known to be a charmer. Her bouncy, alert, and attentive personality are an immediate draw to everyone around her. 

Olivia's current age estimate is very rough.

Olivia has thrived throughout her time in the rescue and she will be a lovely addition to her forever home. Although Olivia is ready to settle down in her forever home, she will require a little extra support as she has tested positive for heartworms. This diagnosis would have been easily avoided had Olivia been kept on monthly heartworm preventatives. Fortunately, Olivia has begun the first steps in the treatment process and will continue to receive the care she needs to move forward. MAGSR is committed to paying for Olivia's treatment; donations toward her care are greatly appreciated. If Olivia sounds like the right dog for your household, please ask to meet her today!

Beau was surrendered to a shelter when his owner became too ill to care for him. It is quite evident that his owner cared for him and wanted the best for Beau. This big, beautiful guy is good with other stable dogs. Sweet and well mannered, this guy is looking for a household that will continue to provide him with the love, safety, and guidance that all dogs deserve. As Beau is new to the MAGSR family, we will let you know more about him as we get to know him.

Boomer cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little boy, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses. Boomer has a lot to learn about being a good canine citizen and will require training. Please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family - puppies are a ten to twelve year commitment. Puppies are full of energy and can be mischievous – they will whine, have accidents, get into things, and chew on inappropriate things. With time, patience, guidance and training, Boomer will become even more of an amazing boy than he already is. If interested and he sounds like a good match for your family, please submit an adoption application!

Piper is a very lovable young lady after she gets to know you.  In typical German Shepherd fashion, she is hesitant with new people especially if they are scared or unsure of themselves. She responds well to confident people, and then is eager to please. Piper needs to be socialized with strangers under the supervision of a confident handler. She is a young lady with lots of energy so exercise and training will be a must to keep her on her best behavior.

Piper rides well in a car and loves to go on walks. She has good leash manners for her age and lack of training. Piper has lived in a home with 7 other dogs while in foster without any issues. She crates well and seems to be house broken (no accidents in 2 weeks!). While in her foster home she has been very well behaved. If you are willing to put in the time to train and socialize Piper, this girl will make a wonderful family member.   Can you see her in your family?

Sugar was a stray to the shelter, so we have no history for her.  We do know she is sugar and spice and everything nice.  She has tested positive for Heartworms which is so easily avoidable with monthly heartworm preventatives.  She will undergo Heartworm treatment which is paid for by MAGSR.  Donations towards her treatment are kindly accepted.  She is underweight, but with proper nutrition she will be gaining weight in no time.  She also arrived at the shelter with a wound on her neck which resembles that of an embedded collar.  Her neck is being cared for and on its way to healing.  Sugar has met both male and female dogs, she did much better with the males, but was dominant over the females.  It is best for Sugar to not be placed in a home with other female dogs for this reason.  Watch for updates on this sweet girl.
