Description

Jetta is an amazing puppy who already knows many commands and is very respectful of other dogs (large and small).  Jetta knows how to sit, down, no, come, leave it and her name. She walks well on leash, but may pull at times when she gets excited.  She is not food aggressive, and will leave it if other dogs should get the food/treat.  She is extremely bright and is very quick and eager to learn new things. She has potential to be a great sporting dog based on her being very fast and her ability to learn quickly.

Jetta is very affectionate and loves to snuggle but is also very good at laying on her own and minding her business while her humans go about their activities. She loves to play tug,  fetch and loves to run around so she can stretch her legs.

Description

Beautiful Brandi was picked up as a stray with her mate, Boscoe. These two incredible dogs had clearly been through some difficult times. Recognizing that these special pups would be most successful if they decompressed in foster homes, another rescue arranged for them to stay in foster families while they waited out their stray hold. Both dogs were placed in loving foster homes with other dogs. When their stray hold had ended and they had had some time to decompress, we were asked if we could welcome both dogs into the rescue. Really, who could say no to such a lovely pair of dogs?

Brandi is a lovely girl. She arrived with wounds on her shoulders and underweight. Her foster family worked hard to get Brandi healed and healthy. Although we do not know anything about Brandi's past, it does appear that she was mishandled at some point. As a result, she can be timid and fearful with new people, particularly with men. A slow approach and some tasty treats go a long way with Brandi. She does warm up with a calm, confident, and patient handler. Brandi is looking for a forever family that will give her the opportunity to slowly adjust to the household. Providing Brandi with clear structure, routine, and guidance will be key to her success. When ready, Brandi will benefit greatly from training. Training will help Brandi build a strong, healthy bond with her forever family; it will also help her develop the stability and confidence needed to navigate her world. While living with her foster family in the south, Brandi did begin to develop her socialization skills. She also has learned the joys of living in a safe and loving home. At this time Brandi is housebroken and crate trained. However, she will likely need to fine tune her skills once she finds her forever home. 

Unfortunately, Brandi is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided had Brandi been provided with monthly heartworm preventatives. Although treatment is very expensive, this active little girl is beyond worth the cost. Brandi's entire heartworm treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Donations toward her care are greatly appreciated as this will help us not only help this lovely girl get all of the care that she needs, but it will also help us continue to support medical dogs in need. Brandi will need to take it easy over the next few months while she completes her treatment. However, this will give her time to adjust to her forever family. If Brandi sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today. 

Updates:
Are you by any chance a morning person? Do you like to jog or hike? Brandi is looking to be your best friend. She wakes up ready to go and wants to be a velcro pup. After being here for a few weeks we've gotten a chance to see a little bit more about her. She is a pokey puppy. She loves to poke her nose everywhere and get the latest news. I also think she might have been best friends with a cat at some point. She constantly rubs up against everything just like a cat-- starting at her shoulder and curving down to the tail. So cute! She would do best in a house with a little space from neighbors. She sings the blues when left alone and talks in yips and barks about her day regularly. She also barks loudly at people outside the door. Not characteristics that would be loved by apartment neighbors!  She is housebroken when kept to her schedule and sticks to her potty spot. She knows sit, in the crate, and down, and we are working on targeting/touch. She shows great potential but would do better if allowed exercise to calm her busy brain before being asked to focus.  I think she would be best with older children only. She likes to jump up and lick your face when she is anxious or needs to check back in with you. We are working on correcting that habit but she can't get any exercise right now which doesn't help. She also can be a bit mouthy and she has tried to catch hold of my sleeve (not my arm) a few times. Surprisingly though, she doesn't bite down on your hand when taking a treat. Your whole hand can end up in her mouth with her exuberance to get the food. But, at least she doesn't bite down on you. She is very food motivated and very food-focused right now. She will try to take food away from my dog so she would do best with a dog that is not food protective. I think she would do fine in a house with other dogs that tolerate teen rough-housing, or in a house without other dogs. She could use the exercise provided by a pack but would be fine if you plan on being that exercise source. She does very well with our routine and knows where she's supposed to be and, most importantly, which meal is supposed to come next. Did I mention she's food fixated?  She is not the best gardening buddy. Her favorite thing is to sit right in front of you, right on the dirt you just dug up so you could plant something, sticks her nose in the dirt to check the news, and then tries to give you a kiss right on the mouth. She will help dig though! She is prey driven, however, so she does keep the rabits, birds, and squirrels away from the garden very well. Hard toys only for this pup. She eviscerated a stuffy, grabbed up the pieces and chomped like she was going to swallow them in less than a minute. Fortunately, she is also very distractable (with the promise of food of course).  She is very ready to find her forever family. If you're looking to add a happy, bouncy young lady to your home, please consider her! , Brandi really is a special girl; she is a true GSD and loves with all of her heart and every piece of fur (even the stray ones on the floor!). Despite her previous hardships, the battle wounds on her shoulders, and coming in grossly underweight, she loves fiercely.  Thankfully, her foster family continues to diligently work on helping her to heal from the trauma she experienced during the first part of her life. Unfortunately we don’t know much more about Brandi’s past, but given her wounds it is clear she was mishandled.  As a result, she is timid and fearful with new people, in particular, men.  Therefore, multifaceted and multiple approaches to warm up to Brandi would go a long way with her!  Think of slow, gentle, yet confident, approaches with some tasty treats!  Once the introduction and ‘dating-phase’ is locked-in, we know Brandi will just melt hearts and be an incredible, protective, typical GSD for the right family. She will do best in a home with a family who is familiar or eager to learn the ways of a true GSD - while providing the essentials -  training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance. Once Brandi warms-up, she has proven to be a ‘LOVE WITH EVERY FIBER’ gal and will absolutely thrive with a calm, confident and patient handler(s), and a forever family that will patiently give her the opportunity to re-learn that she is loved, cared for and that her new life will be filled with all the things she was missing: love, structure, boundaries, routines and guidance. Providing her with these basic needs, you will watch Brandi blossom in front of your eyes.  Her foster family got a sneak peak of her potential (socialization skills, crate trained, house broken, sloppy kisses and more), she just needs a forever family to get her the rest of the way to completely blossom into the beautiful, fiercely loving and fun pooch she has the potential to be.  Brandi will form a healthy bond with her forever family and greatly benefit from continued training once she has had the time to complete her decompression and recognize she is safe with her forever family.  , LETTER FROM BRANDI: Scene set: Brandi sitting nicely in place; Anti-Hero by Taylor Swift playing in the background… “It’s me…Hi…It’s me…Brandi!  Where do I start?  I’ve had a really rough life before my Heroes at MAGSR picked me up.  I can’t really remember exactly what happened, but the scars on my shoulders, and how grossly underweight I was because of the lack of food are really good indicators that I was badly mishandled.  I want to love you, I want to love all the nice humans who are trying to take care of me, but the humans that had me before were pretty much the anti-heros…so, it takes me awhile to trust anyone that I won’t be (mis)treated like I was before.  I am trying my hardest, and have been through the best training a dog can receive (Mason Dixon K9), this I am really really grateful for!  I am slowly rebuilding my confidence, learning that I can trust all humans again, but it takes me time.  I like to sniff you out, get used to you and see you a few times.  Once I trust you, I will protect you with my life! I really really want a forever home, a family to protect me, and in return, I will be your fierce protector ‘FUR-ever’! Will you take a chance on me?  I will if you will!!

Description

The fashion puppies found themselves surrendered to an overcrowded shelter as their owner felt they had too many animals. Although clearly social and interactive, a shelter is not a safe place for puppies as they do not have the immune system in place to help them fight off disease. In addition, living in a crowded and stressful environment is not conducive to healthy development. Recognizing that these babies needed to move forward safely, MAGSR stepped forward and welcomed this sweet set of babies to the rescue.

The fashion puppies - Louis V, Prada, Dior, and Chanel - are ready to find their forever families. These babies are social, interactive, and energetic. They are the perfect mix of fun. Dior has an independent and fun-loving personality. She can hold her own in the group and can be a little sassy. This girl will definitely fill your home with giggles. Having lived in an amazing foster home, these babies have begun learning the ins and outs of living in a household. They, like all GSDs, crave structure, leadership, and consistency. Their foster family has worked hard to put this set-up into place. However, it is very important that their forever family continue this process. It is also essential that their forever family continue to provide these babies with socialization in varied environments with varied people and animals. This will help them meet with success. 

Although these babies are beyond adorable, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, routine, and training, we know that all of the Fashion puppies will meet with success. If lovely Dior sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this sweetheart today!

Description

The fashion puppies found themselves surrendered to an overcrowded shelter as their owner felt they had too many animals. Although clearly social and interactive, a shelter is not a safe place for puppies as they do not have the immune system in place to help them fight off disease. In addition, living in a crowded and stressful environment is not conducive to healthy development. Recognizing that these babies needed to move forward safely, MAGSR stepped forward and welcomed this sweet set of babies to the rescue.

The fashion puppies - Gucci, Louis V, Prada, Dior, and Chanel - are ready to find their forever families. These babies are social, interactive, and energetic. They are the perfect mix of fun. Gucci was surrendered to the shelter with her siblings. When MAGSR originally committed to the family, Gucci has been pre-adopted by a family. As a result, we were able to welcome the remaining four siblings and wished Gucci the best with her new family. However, as is MAGSR policy, we did inform the shelter that if the adoption fell through, we would provide Gucci with a place in the MAGSR family. The remaining four puppies joined the MAGSR family and Gucci left with her new family. As luck would have it, a week into the adoption, the family decided they no longer wanted Gucci and wanted to return her immediately. Knowing that we would honor our commitment to this girl, staff members at the shelter contacted our team immediately and Gucci was redirected to MAGSR. We promised Gucci that we would find her the perfect family that would commit to her for a lifetime. 

Gucci is a playful, interactive, and goofy pup. She has had a lot of changes in the last few weeks but is adjusting to everything in a graceful manner. Having lived in a home for a short while, she has had some exposure to living in a home. However, we do not have any information from her previous family. Gucci like all GSDs, craves structure, leadership, and consistency. It is critical that her forever family puts this set-up into place. It is also essential that her forever family continues to provide Gucci with socialization in varied environments with varied people and animals. This will help her meet with success. 

Although these babies are beyond adorable, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, routine, and training, we know that all of the Fashion puppies will meet with success. If little Miss Gucci sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this stunning baby today!

Description

Leon and his siblings - Leah and Lenith - were picked up as strays in the south. These babies were brought to a shelter where they waited for their family to come and claim them. No one stepped forward for these babies. Shelters everywhere are being overwhelmed by the number of homeless animals needing placement. Recognizing that these babies deserved every chance at finding safe and loving forever homes, staff at the shelter began looking for rescue placement for this little family. As luck would have it, our team learned that these babies needed a safe option for moving forward. We immediately began working together to provide them with spaces in the MAGSR family.

Leon and his siblings are playful, energetic, and intelligent pups. They were clearly socialized prior to their arrival at the shelter. Staff members were absolutely delighted by these three. Their endless puppy behaviors, goofy antics, and playful nature has kept everyone who meets them smiling. As they move forward, all three puppies are looking for forever homes that will provide them with structure, routine, and clear expectations. This will help these adorable pups grow up into stable and confident adults. Although Leon and his siblings are 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, patience, and training, these babies will develop into the good canine citizens we know they are meant to be. If your family is looking for a loveable little guy like Leon, ask to meet him today!

As with all puppies, Leon is on a journey of discovery, eagerly embracing the world around him. We've been diligently working on house and crate training, boosting his confidence, and instilling basic commands.

This little guy is a total cuddle bug, seeking out love with a gentle lean and always yearning for pets and praise. His ultimate goal? Making his owners happy, a testament to his sweet and eager-to-please personality. Plus, Leon is a food enthusiast, which makes training sessions a breeze – he's all ears when there's a treat involved. Leon's social skills are blossoming as he interacts gently with our neighbor's children. Although he may be a tad shy in new environments or with unfamiliar faces, his endearing playfulness shines through when he engages with toys and frolics with his foster fur-sister. Are you ready to embark on the exciting adventure of welcoming Leon into your life? If you're up for the challenge of meeting his physical and mental needs through daily exercise, stimulation, and training, then this charismatic puppy is eagerly waiting to meet you. Apply today, and let Leon bring boundless joy and love to your home!

Description

The Fairy Sisters - Fern, Merriweather, and Tink - were part of a surprise litter. Although most of their littermates found loving homes, these lovely little ladies were not as lucky. Recognizing that puppies are adorable, but a lot of work, their family decided to surrender them to a shelter. However, this proved to be a dangerous option for these babies. With shelters significantly overcapacity, owner surrenders are often immediately euthanized. In an attempt to save the lives of all three pups, the shelter contacted MAGSR to redirect the Fairy Sisters into our care. Fortunately, our team was able to find incredible foster homes for all three girls. We promised we would find the Fairy Sisters families that would love and cherish them for a lifetime. 

Having moved into loving foster families, all three girls are learning the ins and outs of living in a household. Clearly socialized, Merriweather enthusiastically approaches new people, happily accepts food and treats, and loves a good snuggle. Continued opportunities to socialize with new people and new situations will be critical to Merriweather's success. Smart and quick to pick-up new tricks, the girls are beginning some basic training but they also have plenty of opportunities to play. Recognizing that toys should be a vital part of every household, the Fairy Sisters love toys and are hoping their forever families do too. As these girls continue to move forward, they will benefit from continued work and patience with basic commands and leash manners. With so many new expectations, each of the Fairy Sisters will need time to learn the rules, expectations, and routines of their new homes. 

Although these girls are beyond lovely, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, and patience, Merriweather and her sisters will develop into good canine citizens. If you are looking for a new family member that loves new opportunities, playtime, and endless snuggles, ask to meet Merriweather today!

Errol

Adopted: 02/23/2024!

Gender: Male

Breed: German Shepherd Dog

Approximate Age: 7 years

Housebroken: Likely

Obedience Trained: Working on it

Living with: Foster

History: Abuse/Neglect

Good with Kids: Likely

Good with Cats: Unknown

Other Dogs OK: Likely

Description

The name Errol is a Scottish surname that can be associated with prominent Scottish aristocrats, however, that couldn’t be further from the case for poor Errol, or The Duke of Errol as we call him.  He was confiscated from his previous owners as he was not only neglected, but abused. Yet, The Duke of Errol has the sweetest demeanor and is happy to have been rescued by MAGSR.  The Duke of Errol is currently around the 60 lb mark, is missing some hair due to neglect, and is hoping to find a loving family to help him live up to his name, an aristocrat of not only your household, but more importantly, your heart!

As we are getting to know The Duke of Errol, we have learned he is incredibly sweet to everyone he meets and is likely good with kids and other dogs. The Duke of Errol would benefit from a family/person who is willing to designate some time to helping him learn the ropes and become the best GSD he can be while he recovers from his horrible past. As is true with all dogs, he would absolutely thrive in a home where his family is either familiar with German Shepherds or is eager to learn about the temperament of the breed while providing the essentials - training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance.


If The Duke of Errol sounds like he would be the right fit for you/your family, please arrange for a proper introduction!  The ‘Duke” will need some time to decompress given the abuse and neglect he survived prior to arriving at MAGSR. Ask to meet The Duke of Errol today!

Updates:
Errol is enjoying life in his foster home.  He has great house manners, is housebroken, and crate trained.  He’s a very calm and laid- back boy who loves attention – especially belly rubs.  He walks well on a leash and knows basic commands.  Given his sweet and tolerant nature, it’s hard to believe that he was ever neglected or abused.  If you’re looking for a gentle GSD, consider meeting Errol and giving him the loving home that he deserves. , You know those days where nothing, not a single thing, can go right for you? Poor Errol has been living that day his whole life. Errol came to us from an abusive and neglected home, with heartworms. While we began his treatment directly, we didn't know that Errol had also been dealt a bad hand from the start and was born with a heart condition. We learned this when Errol recently found himself at the Pet ER with almost half a gallon of fluid in his abdomen! Workups with the cardiologist diagnosed him with a form of heart disease called mitral valve dysplasia. The thing about this disease is it puts a large amount of pressure on the left side of the heart, whereas his heartworms are doing the same thing to the right side. As if this wasn't bad enough, he also is suffering from tricuspid valve dysplasia, a rough condition made even more serious due to his heartworms. In fact, the heartworms are causing a litany of serious conditions for Errol including high blood pressure, eosinophilia and other pulmonary concerns. While not all of Errol's problems could have been prevented with heartworm preventatives, he would be in a much more treatable state had someone given him that monthly medication earlier in life.    As you may expect, there are a lot of question marks surrounding Errol's health and his future. He has been prescribed several medications that take some time to become effective before his true prognosis can be determined. He has been placed with an incredible medical foster who is dedicated to getting him to his many appointments, keeping him safe on exercise restriction, and ensuring he gets his many medications on time. Despite the road he has been on, Errol continues to be sweet and loving and we want more than anything to provide him with health and comfort. He is worth every penny but the road ahead is an expensive one for Errol. Would you consider becoming one of his angels and making a donation to his health fund today?

Description

Wesson was picked up in the south as a stray. This handsome guy waited for his family to come and claim him, but no one stepped forward. Although Wesson was clearly meant to live in a loving home, when no one stepped forward for this guy, he was moved to the list for euthanasia. Shelters simply do not have enough spaces for the overwhelming number of animals flowing into their facilities on a daily basis. Although they are trying to help dogs move forward, options are not always available. Wesson got lucky and another group was able to pull him at the last second and keep him safe till they could find a rescue for him. When they learned that MAGSR had an opening for a new dog, we were asked to welcome Wesson to the family. Who could deny this sweet face? 

As Wesson was located a distance from us, he needed a little extra help arriving in the MAGSR family. So, we were able to work with another incredible group, Pilots and Paws, who made sure that Wesson arrived in style. This boy sure has had a lot of people in his corner ensuring that finds an amazing forever home. Wesson is an active, intelligent, and playful guy. This boy is looking for an adventurous family that will engage him in daily activities. A family that will not only exercise his mind but also his body is key to Wesson's success. A family that will help provide structure, routine, and leadership will help Wesson thrive. Although we do not know much about his past, we do know that Wesson's future is bright. He is eager to learn and is food motivated. This happy guy will be a star at training. Not only will training help Wesson develop the strong, healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him learn the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. If Wesson sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this boy today!

Description

Handsome Hunter was found running around outside of an apartment complex in a busy city. As it was clear this boy was hungry, cold, and scared, the finder contacted an area shelter that came and picked up this sweet guy. Although Hunter was heading indoors with food, shelter, and medical care available, he was also heading into an overcapacity shelter whose facility simply cannot accommodate the endless number of homeless animals entering it on a daily basis. Unfortunately, this is the reality of many shelters throughout the country. Recognizing that this pup deserved the opportunity to grow up in a loving household, MAGSR stepped forward and welcomed Hunter into the family. 

Hunter is a young, intelligent, and affectionate guy. He loves romping around outside and is learning about the joys of toys. Still discovering the ins and outs of living in a household, Hunter will benefit greatly from clear structure, routine, and leadership. We do not know anything about Hunter's past, but we do know that his future is bright with MAGSR. As is true of all young shepherds, it is critical that Hunter's family continue his socialization. Opportunities to learn about new people, animals, and environments will help Hunter further develop his confidence in the world around him. It is also essential that Hunter participate in training. Not only will training help Hunter develop a strong, healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him grow up to become a good canine citizen. If this sweetheart seems like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today! 

Updates:
Hunter is a smart and lovable pup. He's got lots of energy and plenty of puppy antics, but is quickly learning the house rules. He is fully housebroken, crate-trained, and sleeps through the night in his crate. He's also a gem in the car. He is currently working on his commands and is doing very well in this department. He knows sit, down, shake, wait, stay, gentle, out, and no.  Hunter loves playing with toys, whether it be outside or inside. He is learning how to play fetch, though it seems to us that he sometimes prefers to play keep away. He has done well around our two dogs (one smaller and one bigger) and has shown no negative reactivity on this front. He is definitely interested in playing and does so as a mouthy puppy, but we are working with him to learn to calm down and chill out when needed. Hunter definitely needs someone that will instill structure, training, and consistency as this extremely smart boy will try to push the limits if he is allowed to do so, but given these things, he will flourish and become a wonderful companion for life. So much so, if we didn't already have two of our own, we'd probably try to keep him for ourselves.

Description

Quetta and Kai were surrendered to a local shelter when their family could no longer care for them. Although they were clearly loved, these two were, understandably, a little lost finding themselves at a crowded shelter rather than at home. Recognizing that this pair deserved a forever family that would keep them together for a lifetime, shelter staff sent out a plea for rescue help. Having worked with several sets of bonded pairs over the years, our team recognizes the importance of keeping family together. We know that when given the chance to find the right match, these two will find an amazing family. It is our honor to welcome them to the MAGSR family. 

As Kai and Quetta are a bonded pair, they are looking for an incredible forever family that has room in their hearts for two. They are quite the complementary pair. Kai is the pushy goofball. He likes to make a game of everything and always wants to be part of any interaction. As a young guy, he has some good energy and is hoping his forever family enjoys adventures and plenty of playtime. Quetta is your sweet and affectionate velcro dog. She likes to know where her people are at all times and is beyond happy to snuggle up for extra chin scratches. Quetta tends to bring the calming aspect to the pair. Playful and well-matched together, these two definitely enjoy their daily play sessions. They understand the joy of toys and hope their forever family has plenty of them. When playtime is done, Quetta and Kai love to settle down and relax near their people. Although they love their people, Kai and Quetta love each other as well. They prefer to remain close together and tend to stress when separated.  

Typical of the breed, this pair bonds strongly and quickly to their people. It is key that their forever family work with them to create a strong and healthy bond. Training will be critical to their success. Not only will training help both Kai and Quetta develop a healthy relationship with their family, but it will also help them develop into good canine citizens. Food motivated and incredibly gentle with treats, this pair will be the top of their class. Having clearly lived in a home, Quetta and Kai are housebroken and crate trained. They seem to understand many of the ins and outs of living in a household. Although they have many of the foundational skills needed to meet with success, they, like any new family member, will need time to adjust to their forever family. The opportunity to adjust will help everyone meet with success. Quetta and Kai are a special pair that is looking for an adoring family that will love them for a lifetime. If they sound like the right match for your household, please ask to meet them today!

Description

The fashion puppies found themselves surrendered to an overcrowded shelter as their owner felt they had too many animals. Although clearly social and interactive, a shelter is not a safe place for puppies as they do not have the immune system in place to help them fight off disease. In addition, living in a crowded and stressful environment is not conducive to healthy development. Recognizing that these babies needed to move forward safely, MAGSR stepped forward and welcomed this sweet set of babies to the rescue.

The fashion puppies - Louis V, Prada, Dior, and Chanel - are ready to find their forever families. These babies are social, interactive, and energetic. They are the perfect mix of fun. Dior has an independent and fun-loving personality. She can hold her own in the group and can be a little sassy. This girl will definitely fill your home with giggles. Having lived in an amazing foster home, these babies have begun learning the ins and outs of living in a household. They, like all GSDs, crave structure, leadership, and consistency. Their foster family has worked hard to put this set-up into place. However, it is very important that their forever family continue this process. It is also essential that their forever family continue to provide these babies with socialization in varied environments with varied people and animals. This will help them meet with success. 

Although these babies are beyond adorable, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, routine, and training, we know that all of the Fashion puppies will meet with success. If lovely Dior sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this sweetheart today!

Description

The Kentucky Six - Diego, Champ, Serena, Peanut, Evie, and Yogi - are cruelty and neglect survivors. Living in inhumane conditions, starved, and used as breeding stock, the Kentucky Six managed to make it off the property alive when the right people heard about their conditions and got the authorities involved. All six dogs were confiscated and brought to a shelter where they waited for the chance to find kind and loving families of their very own. Although shelter staff worked hard to make sure that all six dogs began getting the care and attention they deserved, they recognized that with shelters at capacity and adoptions limited, these six precious souls may not have the chance to find their forever families. They began working with local groups and started networking the dogs in hopes that rescue placement would be found. Fortunately, their message made its way to MAGSR. Our incredible team knew that this group of dogs was very special, so we began putting plans in place to welcome the Kentucky Six to the MAGSR family. 

Although Champ's life was filled with challenges and suffering prior to his confiscation, he still wants to connect with his people. Very intelligent and appreciative of a calm and confident handler, Champ does well when given a chance to build trust with his people. Having been starved, Champ is still learning that regular meals and kindness are part of his daily routine. Although he needs a little time to adjust, Champ is already making significant strides. He is an incredible example of resilience in the wake of so much pain. As is true of all shepherds, Champ will thrive when provided with structure, routine, and leadership. In many ways he is still in the beginning stages of his new life. He will need time to adjust to new people, environments, and expectations. However, given patience and opportunities to learn, we are sure that Champ will continue to discover the joys of being a beloved member of a family. We do not know if Champ has had much experience living in a household. Clear rules and boundaries will help him settle into his new home. Training will also go a long way for this boy. Not only will training help Champ develop a strong, healthy  bond with his forever family, but it will also help him become a good canine citizen. Champ is looking for a forever family that will cherish him for a lifetime and show him the kindness he missed out on for so many years. If he sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet Champ today!

Updates:
Champ is simply a big sweet boy.  We have nick-named him Teddy because he wants to snuggle up on the couch with his people.  While very hesitant when we first welcomed him to our home, just a few days later he has gained confidence and relaxed.  He is housebroken but just starting to learn the basic obedience commands.  He is fine with other dogs and loves chasing the ball in the backyard with our 5 year old bossy female GSD.  And he is also very easy to walk on leash.

Description

Sweet Maya came to MAGSR after she was confiscated from a cruelty and neglect case.  Maya and her brother were severely neglected and malnourished, only being fed a small portion of a chicken thigh a week. Unfortunately, her brother succumbed to malnourishment before we could save him.  

Since we’ve had Maya in our care, we are still learning about her, but do know beyond her shyness, she is very sweet.  Obviously given what she experienced, she will need time to decompress, learn to trust people and realize she is safe.  Maya is thought to be between 1-2 years and will need training.  

An ideal family or companion for Maya will need to be understanding, patient and willing to give her the space and time, given what she went through, but also won’t be afraid to set and reinforce boundaries.  She will need to learn how to be a dog, how to play and build her confidence. Sweet Maya will need basic training, consistency, and routine to help her continue on this journey. 

We believe that in the right environment, Maya will continue to come out of her shell once she is given an opportunity to fully decompress and understand that she is finally safe, not just short term, but for the rest of her life. 

If sweet Maya sounds like your ideal ‘FURever’ companion, please consider adopting her!

Description

Marvelous Murphy was adored by his family. They made sure he had everything he needed. Although they loved him dearly, due to circumstances beyond their control, they were unable to continue to provide for this incredible boy. Recognizing that Murphy deserved an amazing forever family, they asked MAGSR to welcome Murphy to the family so that we could find the right match. We were honored by their request, and were happy to welcome Murphy to MAGSR. 

Murphy is a social and intelligent guy. As is true of all shepherds he has some good energy and is most successful when he has daily exercise. He thrives when given structure, routine, and leadership. Having lived in a home since he was a young pup, Murphy understands many of the ins and out of living in a home. A snuggler at heart, Murphy is hoping his family also enjoys cuddles. He is housebroken, crate trained, and understands rules and boundaries. Although Murphy already knows a lot about living in a home, it will take him some time to adjust to his forever home. However, given patience and clear routines, we are sure he will adjust well. True to the breed, Murphy can be protective of his people, however, with consistent boundaries and expectations he does well. Continued training will go a long way with this guy. Murphy is looking for a forever family that will cherish him for a lifetime, could that be with you?

Description

Stunning Sophie is a victim of cruelty and neglect. Fortunately, word got out about her situation and animal control confiscated her from her owners. Arriving at a shelter with a large wound on her back, hair missing in spots, limited fat and muscle on her body, and an overall poor body condition, shelter staff knew this girl needed a lot of support. They got right to work making sure she had what she needed and were impressed by how sweet and even tempered she appeared. Although staff members were doing everything they could to help Sophie heal, with an overwhelming number of dogs arriving at the shelter on a daily basis they knew she was living on borrowed time. As the days passed and no one stepped forward to welcome Sophie into their home, staff began to worry that Sophie wouldn't make it out alive. A plea for help went out. When we learned about Sophie's story, team MAGSR knew this lovely girl deserved the opportunity to find her forever family. 

Sophie is intelligent, energetic, and ready to move forward. She craves leadership and direction. As is true of all young shepherds, Sophie will thrive when provided with structure and routine. Excited to learn, Sophie is already picking up some basic commands and is definitely motivated by treats. Due to her past, we do not know if Sophie understands the ins and outs of living in a household. However, we know she is beyond ready to enjoy the comforts and routines of a loving home. As she moves forward, Sophie will benefit from training. Not only will training help Sophie bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. 

Unfortunately, we have learned that Sophie is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided with a monthly heartworm preventative. Sophie's treatment has just begun and, unsurprisingly, she is handling everything well. Although heartworm treatment is very expensive, we know that this special girl is more than worth the cost. MAGSR will cover the entirety of Sophie's heartworm treatment. Please consider donating to Sophie's care as it will not only help us provide the funding needed to support Sophie, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs. Sophie will need to take it slow over the next few months while she heals. However, this will give her time to adjust to her forever home. If this stunning girl sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

Updates:
Sophie has made incredible strides since first joining the MAGSR family. Medically, she looks like a new dog. Sophie has healed nicely, her fur is shiny, and she is now just the right size. Our team has worked hard to ensure that Sophie has had everything she needs to meet with success. As Sophie's medical needs have been addressed, our team has been giving her opportunities to learn about new people, experience new places, and develop her knowledge of the expectations needed to be a good canine citizen. To help her along her journey, Sophie was placed with one of our amazing foster families a few months ago. This family has been teaching Sophie the ins and outs of living with a family while also giving her the chance to participate in training. As an incredibly intelligent and outgoing girl, Sophie has shined in training. She has mastered her basic commands and hopes that her forever family will continue to support her learning. Having worked with one of our fabulous training Partners, Mason Dixon K9, Sophie and her family will have a lifetime of training support when she moves forward. Sophie has asked us to find her a family that will welcome her on their daily adventures and give her plenty of snuggles at night. We know the perfect family is right around the corner waiting for this lovely girl. If you are looking for a great balance of energy, intelligence, and companionship, look no further than Sophie.

Description

A river is a natural flow of water that provides nourishment to many things along the way.  Much like a river, our latest addition to the MAGSR family, River, is sure to be a nourishment of love and snuggles to his furever family.  The story of River is one of rapid change; he found himself in unfamiliar territory as an owner-surrender to animal control, and moments before he was scheduled to be euthanized, MAGSR swooped in and saved River from ‘drying up’.  

We are still getting to know him, but his foster family reports that he is a near perfect boy!  We believe River to be between 1-2 years old and has done an amazing job transitioning from his previous life to his new environment.  River is housebroken and doesn’t appear to have issues with being put in the crate, including overnight. So far, River has been properly introduced to the resident dogs and cats, and hasn’t had issues. If he does find himself with a family that has cats, it’s best for those cats to be more on the ‘dog-savvy’ side, as Mr. River is quite curious! 

River is eager to please his humans, but will need to be trained and given the opportunity to show he can be a well mannered boy. He will thrive in a home and environment where he will be provided the basic necessities -  training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance.  

If River sounds like the happy hours, days and weeks you would like to emBARK upon, please ask to add him to your family today!

Description

The name Errol is a Scottish surname that can be associated with prominent Scottish aristocrats, however, that couldn’t be further from the case for poor Errol, or The Duke of Errol as we call him.  He was confiscated from his previous owners as he was not only neglected, but abused. Yet, The Duke of Errol has the sweetest demeanor and is happy to have been rescued by MAGSR.  The Duke of Errol is currently around the 60 lb mark, is missing some hair due to neglect, and is hoping to find a loving family to help him live up to his name, an aristocrat of not only your household, but more importantly, your heart!

As we are getting to know The Duke of Errol, we have learned he is incredibly sweet to everyone he meets and is likely good with kids and other dogs. The Duke of Errol would benefit from a family/person who is willing to designate some time to helping him learn the ropes and become the best GSD he can be while he recovers from his horrible past. As is true with all dogs, he would absolutely thrive in a home where his family is either familiar with German Shepherds or is eager to learn about the temperament of the breed while providing the essentials - training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance.


If The Duke of Errol sounds like he would be the right fit for you/your family, please arrange for a proper introduction!  The ‘Duke” will need some time to decompress given the abuse and neglect he survived prior to arriving at MAGSR. Ask to meet The Duke of Errol today!

Updates:
Errol is enjoying life in his foster home.  He has great house manners, is housebroken, and crate trained.  He’s a very calm and laid- back boy who loves attention – especially belly rubs.  He walks well on a leash and knows basic commands.  Given his sweet and tolerant nature, it’s hard to believe that he was ever neglected or abused.  If you’re looking for a gentle GSD, consider meeting Errol and giving him the loving home that he deserves. , You know those days where nothing, not a single thing, can go right for you? Poor Errol has been living that day his whole life. Errol came to us from an abusive and neglected home, with heartworms. While we began his treatment directly, we didn't know that Errol had also been dealt a bad hand from the start and was born with a heart condition. We learned this when Errol recently found himself at the Pet ER with almost half a gallon of fluid in his abdomen! Workups with the cardiologist diagnosed him with a form of heart disease called mitral valve dysplasia. The thing about this disease is it puts a large amount of pressure on the left side of the heart, whereas his heartworms are doing the same thing to the right side. As if this wasn't bad enough, he also is suffering from tricuspid valve dysplasia, a rough condition made even more serious due to his heartworms. In fact, the heartworms are causing a litany of serious conditions for Errol including high blood pressure, eosinophilia and other pulmonary concerns. While not all of Errol's problems could have been prevented with heartworm preventatives, he would be in a much more treatable state had someone given him that monthly medication earlier in life.    As you may expect, there are a lot of question marks surrounding Errol's health and his future. He has been prescribed several medications that take some time to become effective before his true prognosis can be determined. He has been placed with an incredible medical foster who is dedicated to getting him to his many appointments, keeping him safe on exercise restriction, and ensuring he gets his many medications on time. Despite the road he has been on, Errol continues to be sweet and loving and we want more than anything to provide him with health and comfort. He is worth every penny but the road ahead is an expensive one for Errol. Would you consider becoming one of his angels and making a donation to his health fund today?

Huntington

Adopted: 01/31/2024!

Breed: German Shepherd Dog

Approximate Age: 5 years

Color: Sable

Current Size: 84 lbs

Living with: Foster

History: Owner Surrender

Description

Handsome Huntington has known the warmth of a very loving family, but unfortunately a family health issue has forced an unthinkable and very hard decision to do what is best for this stunning, smart, working-line, pure German Shepherd.  While having to make the most difficult decision, Hunter's family made the right choice and we have a lot of information on Handsome Huntington to ensure he goes to the perfect family!

Huntington is a well mannered, housebroken, working-line GSD that has some training and knows many commands - he even knows how to “smile” for the vet for a teeth check!  Since Huntington is of working-line, he is not for the novice GSD/dog owner and would do best in a household who is experienced with working-line GSD’s. This household will need to know how to provide an environment, structure, balance and the leadership needed for him to thrive.  

Handsome Huntington is eager to please and is treat driven, something that will come in handy when reinforcing boundaries, training and teaching new commands.  He is well versed in these commands: sit, down, with me, wait, curb, place, break, up, come, Gee (right), Haw (left), around, other side, peek-a-boo and so much more! In addition to his impressive working-line resume, he has lived with two older cats, has been around other dogs and kids, but is particular with who he will interact with - a steadfast trait of working-line GSD.  

Huntington will probably need some time and extra treats to decompress. This will give him the chance to fully understand the change in his situation and that his new family will love him just the same, if not more!  He is eager to please, but boundaries and training will need to continue in order for him to shine bright and show what a well mannered ‘Handsome Hunter’ can add to the right family. He will thrive in a home and environment where he will be provided the basic necessities associated with a seasoned GSD owner and a family familiar with the working-line breed of the GSD, which includes, but is not limited to ongoing training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance.  

If you think you are ready for Handsome Huntington to blaze trails or snuggle up to, please ask to add Huntington to your family today!
