Tasha was adopted a few years ago to an incredible family that adored her. Although they hoped Tasha would remain with them forever, when unexpected circumstances arose, her family had to make the difficult decision to return her to the MAGSR family. This decision is never made lightly. However, sometimes we all need a little help. Fortunately, MAGSR was more than willing and able to welcome Tasha back so that she could move forward with a new family who would cherish her for a lifetime. 

Tasha is a well socialized lady. She loves people, is affectionate, and is  your typical velcro dog. Clearly a very intelligent girl, Tasha is an expert when reading the handler. She responds best to a calm, confident, and clear handler. Best placed with an experienced GSD household, Tasha is looking for a family that will provide the structure, routine, and leadership that all dogs crave. Having moved around a few times in her life, Tasha can be anxious in new situations. She is not a huge fan of loud sounds, such as thunder or fireworks. However, with a responsive handler, Tasha meets with success. As Tasha moves forward, she is hoping to find a family that will exercise both her body and her mind on a daily basis. This will help her maintain a calm and stable mindset. Training is also critical for Tasha. Not only will training help Tasha build a strong, healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her further hone her skills. With some basic training already in place, Tasha cannot wait to continue learning with her new family. This amazing girl is looking for that special family who will provide her with the comforts of a loving home, opportunities to meet with success, and plenty of love. If Tasha sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

Ryker and Cadi were the apple of their daddy's eye. He adored both dogs and ensured that they had everything they needed to meet with success. Living in a home filled with love, this special pair had endless joy, playtime, and cuddles. All was right in their world until Ryker and Cadi's daddy received a serious medical diagnosis. Rather than take any chances, Ryker and Cadi's dad and his family took steps to ensure that both dogs would be well loved and cared for if this diagnosis proved fatal. Although their daddy fought hard, Ryker and Cadi had to say goodbye to their daddy much sooner than anyone thought possible. The grieving process is just as confusing and painful for animals as it is for humans. Helping each other through this process, Ryker and Cadi have been learning to adjust as a unit with the help of an incredible foster family supporting them on this difficult journey.  With their daddy, Tod, as their guardian angel, we know this pair will continue to move forward and will find a new home that will love them in their daddy's absence. 

Typical of a bonded pair, Ryker and Cadi bring their own unique strengths and personalities to their relationship. Ryker, the male, is intelligent and playful. He relies heavily on Cadi, the female, for safety and confidence. She helps Ryker maintain stability and try new things that may seem a little intimidating without Cadi at his side. Known for needing a little time to trust before he is ready for snuggles, Ryker hopes his next family understands that with a little patience he will bloom. Cadi is the fun of the party. Happy to share her joyful activities with Ryker, she loves having her best friend at her side. A huge fan of toys that talk, Cadi is hoping that her next family has a “giggle ball" ready for her upon arrival. As a bonded pair, Cadi and Ryker are looking for a home that has the room in their hearts for two. 

Fortunate to have had a solid foundation put in place, both Cadi and Ryker are fully trained. They understand commands and love to exercise their bodies and minds every day. Although they are on point with basic training, it is important that their next family continue the training process. This will help Cadi and Ryker form a strong and healthy bond with their family. It will also help them continue to develop the skills needed to become good canine citizens. Having lived in a loving home, Ryker and Cadi are house broken, crate trained, and understand many of the ins and outs of living in a home. However, as is true of any new dog, this pair will need time to adjust to the specific expectations, structure, and routines of their new family. When given time, patience, and leadership, we know they will adjust. Ryker and Cadi have been through enormous changes, but they remain incredible dogs. If your family is looking for a pair that is playful, curious, and ready for an adventure, Cadi and Ryker are the right match for you. 

Aspen and Bosco are a bonded pair of senior MAGSR alumni. Their amazing mom welcomed them as seniors into her family and planned on ensuring that they lived out their lives in the comfort, peace, and security of her home. However, when their mom passed away suddenly, this amazing pair found themselves in need of a new home. Aspen and Bosco were their mom's heart; she loved them beyond words. Knowing she would want them to have a place to grieve, rest, and find comfort, we welcomed Aspen and Bosco back to the MAGSR family.

Unfortunately, both dogs have seen loss before and have said good-bye to their family a few times in their lives. It seems that for some, life simply throws one challenge after another. Although they have seen their fair share of loss, both Bosco and Aspen are sweet, friendly, and loving dogs. They truly are a special pair. Bosco is an easy going guy who goes with the flow. He loves the fresh air and a cozy place to hang. Aspen is social, friendly, and joyful. She brings happiness to everyone she meets. Together they are an impressive pair who are cherished by everyone.

Aspen and Bosco are settling into an amazing foster home. Their foster family is ensuring that they both have everything they need to feel safe and loved. We have promised to honor their mom's memory and provide them with everything she would have wanted for them in their golden years.

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

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

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

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

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

Koda is a big, sweet, affectionate guy. Clearly well socialized with people and dogs, Koda has a stable and confident personality. He is patient, observant, and doesn't miss a beat. With absolutely stunning looks and a solid personality, Koda has the type of personality that easily wins over everyone he meets. Having lived in a GSD savvy household, Koda has been given a strong foundation for success. However, as is true of all shepherds, he will only thrive when provided with structure, routine, and leadership. An intelligent guy, Koda reads the handler well. He understands clear expectations and responds accordingly. When provided with consistency and routine, Koda rises to the occasion. As a young guy, Koda is looking for a household that will provide him with daily exercise for both his body and mind. This will help him maintain his impressive personality. Although Koda has had some training already, he is looking forward to attending training class with his forever family. Training will not only help Koda bond with his forever family, but it will also help him solidify the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Having lived in a household, Koda understands many of the ins and outs of living in a home. He is housebroken and crate trained. However, as is true of any new dog, Koda will need time to adjust to the routines and expectations of his forever family.

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

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

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

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

Emmie and her seven adorable babies (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, Cal, Murray, and Bebe) were dumped at an overcrowded shelter in the south. Although Emmie knew that her future was uncertain, she also knew that the 7 little ones (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, Cal, Murray, and Bebe) that she brought with her were also in danger. As puppy season is in full swing, many furry families of all sizes are finding themselves in tough situations where, unfortunately, many animals do not make it out alive. Fortunately, for this special family, shelter staff began working with a network of rescues to find options, a loving foster family, and the medical support needed to move forward. MAGSR was lucky to have so many people pulling together to help this family move forward into our care. We are honored to move them forward. 

Emmie and her pups have been lucky to have lived in a loving foster family. This gave them all the opportunity to learn some of the ins and outs of living in a home. All of the babies did an incredible job with their foster family and have since moved onto foster homes where they are getting additional love and attention in smaller groups. Murray is friendly, playful, and an interactive guy who loves to join in and snuggle with everyone. He loves his furry siblings but is also happy to hang out with other dogs and people. Having already begun socializing with new people, animals, and in new environments, Murray is already building a solid foundation. It is imperative that his family continue this process as he moves forward. Murray, like all dogs, will thrive in a home with structure, routine, and leadership. With the right set-up, we know this little sweetheart will be impressive. Although Murray is special, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, and training, Murray will become a stable and confident adult. Murray is looking for a forever family that will cherish him for a lifetime. If he sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today!

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

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

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

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

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

Emmie and her seven adorable babies (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, Cal, Murray, and Bebe) were dumped at an overcrowded shelter in the south. Although Emmie knew that her future was uncertain, she also knew that the 7 little ones (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, Cal, Murray, and Bebe) that she brought with her were also in danger. As puppy season is in full swing, many furry families of all sizes are finding themselves in tough situations where, unfortunately, many animals do not make it out alive. Fortunately, for this special family, shelter staff began working with a network of rescues to find options, a loving foster family, and the medical support needed to move forward. MAGSR was lucky to have so many people pulling together to help this family move forward into our care. We are honored to move them forward. 

Emmie and her pups have been lucky to have lived in a loving foster family. This gave them all the opportunity to learn some of the ins and outs of living in a home. All of the babies did an incredible job with their foster family and have since moved onto foster homes where they are getting additional love and attention in smaller groups. Meenie is a sweet and snuggly girl who loves other dogs of all sizes and thinks that cats could be pretty cool too, if only they'd play with her. Meenie loves her chew toys and is slowly catching on to the joys of fetch. Meenie is an intelligent observer pup - she's bold enough to approach a stranger or new animal and smart enough to take their cues regarding how to proceed. Meenie is already well on her way to being crate trained and housebroken with only an occasional accident in the home. Like any puppy, she thrives when supported by clear boundaries, patience, and a mountain of love and chew toys. This is so helpful when learning the routines of her home. Having already begun socializing with new people, animals, and in new environments, Meenie is already building a solid foundation. It is imperative that her family continue this process as she moves forward. With the right set-up, we know this little darling will be impressive. Although Meenie is special, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, and training, Meenie will become a stable and confident adult. Meenie is looking for a forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

Handsome Hemi was picked up as a stray in the south. He was brought to a shelter while he waited for his family to come and claim him. Although this sweet guy waited patiently, no one stepped forward for Hemi. As shelters are struggling to meet the overwhelming needs within their communities, unfortunately, many dogs are euthanized as stray holds end. With an amazing personality, shelter staff worried that Hemi wouldn't survive if help didn't arrive fast. Recognizing that a rescue plea was his last chance, the call for help was sent out. Although we were also just about at capacity, team MAGSR knew that Hemi was special. We welcomed him to the family and promised to find him an amazing home. 

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

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

Amazing Andora and her "A Litter" puppies (Annette, Aime, and Abu) were dumped at a crowded shelter. With limited resources and overwhelming numbers, the shelter could not provide for this family. Although they did everything they could to help all members of the family move forward, shelter staff knew that without rescue help, this family would likely be euthanized as spaces are simply not available. Fortunately, rescue groups began working together to help the entire family move forward safely. When asked if we could provide a safe place to land, we were lucky to be able to team up with another local group in order to ensure that all members of the family moved forward safely. 

Andora and her babies are friendly, interactive, and beyond lovable. As a pocket shepherd, Andora is in many ways a mini shepherd. Her lovely eyes and little tail wags simply fill your heart with joy. Having survived in a crowded, underfunded shelter, this little momma and her babies were granted a miracle and they know it. As Andora did an incredible job raising her babies, it is now time for her to move forward with a family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Clearly socialized with people, Andora has done well with everyone she has met. In new situations, she often needs a moment to adjust; however, with a little kindness and a slow hand, Andora can't help but start to wiggle and lean in for pets. This girl is clearly special. Now that she is in the MAGSR family, Andora is living with an incredible foster family that is teaching her the ins and outs of living in a loving home. She thrives with structure, routine, and leadership. Although Andora is learning about the joys of living in a home, it is important that her new family remember that she will need time to adjust to the routines and expectations of her forever family. With time and patience, we know Andora will meet with success. As Andora is still very young, it is important that her family enroll her in training. This is critical as training will provide Andora with opportunities to socialize, skill building strategies to build confidence, and the strategies needed to become a good canine citizen. Andora is looking for a forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this precious girl today!

Animal control officers were asked to do a welfare check on a set of dogs in the south. When they arrived, they found three dogs living in deplorable conditions on tie-outs outside in the elements. All three dogs were extremely emaciated, covered in filth, heartworm positive and in need of immediate care. Due to the condition of the dogs, all three were confiscated instantly and brought into a shelter. Upon their arrival, staff members at the shelter began working with the dogs to tend to their most critical needs. However, they knew that these dogs would need a lot of help to move forward. Due to overwhelming numbers of dogs in need, all three dogs found themselves on the list to be euthanized as soon as their case was cleared. Another rescue was able to pull two of the dogs. However, lovely Libby was left without many options. Fortunately, our team learned of Libby's plight just hours before she was scheduled to cross and was able to move her to the safety of the MAGSR family.  

Libby is one special little lady. Although scared and unsure in the overcrowded shelter environment, Libby did well with a gentle hand, some extra patience, and plenty of treats. When out of her run and away from the chaos of the shelter environment, staff members noted that Libby has a calm demeanor and independence that make her a unique and endearing companion. Although Libby likes some time and space to herself, she is equally interested in interacting with her human companions. Libby can be shy and timid when first meeting new people, but when given the opportunity to develop trust, her loyalty knows no bounds. When around other dogs at the shelter, Libby maintained her polite composure and gentle interest. Before introducing her to any new furry companions, we have been giving Libby time to rest and heal with an incredible foster family. This has given her the opportunity to learn all about warm baths, good family, comfortable beds, and the routine of living in a home. We have promised Libby that we will make sure her forever family fills her world with endless days of comfort. 

Although she has been working toward recovery, when Libby first arrived in our care she was severely emaciated, filled with worms, suffering from a bad upper respiratory infection, and dealing with untreated heartworms. Since her arrival, our team has been working hard to make sure that Libby receives the attention and care she deserves to move forward in safety and comfort. Although Libby's medical care is expensive, we know she is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating to Libby's continued medical care. Not only will your donation help Libby continue to move forward, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs into the MAGSR family. When ready, Libby will be looking for a patient and loving forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that be with you? 

The Neverland Litter (Hook, Pan, Wendy, Tootles, Pockets, Cubby, Nana, Nibs, Rufio, and Tink) was born on a property that is known for breeding and selling puppies. When these babies turned six weeks old, the owner dropped them along with a second litter at a shelter. Unfortunately, the shelter, like so many others, was sitting at critical capacity and knew they needed help moving the babies forward. Recognizing that a rescue would be the best option for these babies, a plea went out to GSD rescues up and down the coast for help. With puppy season in full swing, many groups are inundated with babies needing a safe place to move forward. When asked if we could welcome this group to the family, team MAGSR stepped forward. 

The Neverland puppies are playful, interactive, and social puppies. Although they did not have the easiest start, they have had many different people in their corner since their arrival at the shelter. In the last few weeks, these babies have had many opportunities to start socializing with new people and in a variety of situations. Socialization is essential to their success; it is critical to their forever families continue this process. Living with some of our amazing foster families, these babies are learning the ins and outs of living in a home. They are learning all about the joys of good food, daily playtime, structure and routine. Although Tink and her siblings are beyond precious, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, and patience, we know that the Neverland Litter will grow up to become good canine citizens. If your family is ready to welcome terrific Tink into your home, ask to meet her today. 

Handsome Sheppy was picked up as a stray and brought to a local shelter where he waited patiently for his family to come and claim him. Although he waited, no one came forward for Sheppy. Shelter staff were surprised as this social guy was clearly comfortable with people and did well around other dogs. Recognizing that Sheppy deserved a family that would love him for a lifetime, he was placed on the adoption floor and started looking for a match but with so many dogs looking for homes, he didn't find his match. Recognizing that shepherds are often more successful when adopted out through a breed specific rescue, Sheppy was transferred to the MAGSR family. We are excited to be able to help Sheppy move forward and find the perfect forever family.

Sheppy is a friendly and playful guy. He is a big fan of plushy toys and hopes that his forever family has plenty of them in the household. Sheppy has done a nice job in a large shelter and seems comfortable with other dogs. However, as is true of many shepherds, Sheppy has high-drive. He is looking for a household without cats or other small animals. Although clearly socialized with people, Sheppy did not receive the training needed to meet with success. He will need to learn leash manners and the importance of keeping his paws on the ground. Fortunately, our team has already begun working with Sheppy so that he better understands the ins and outs of becoming a good canine citizen. Training is essential for Sheppy's success. Training will not only help Sheppy develop a strong, healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a stable and confident canine citizen. Sheppy is looking for a forever family that will provide him with routine, structure, patience, and leadership. This set-up is crucial for success with all shepherds. If you are looking for an active, playful, and intelligent guy, look no further than Sheppy!

Emmie and her seven adorable babies (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, Cal, Murray, and Bebe) were dumped at an overcrowded shelter in the south. Although Emmie knew that her future was uncertain, she also knew that the 7 little ones (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, Cal, Murray, and Babe) that she brought with her were also in danger. As puppy season is in full swing, many furry families of all sizes are finding themselves in tough situations where, unfortunately, many animals do not make it out alive. Fortunately, for this special family, shelter staff began working with a network of rescues to find options, a loving foster family, and the medical support needed to move forward. MAGSR was lucky to have so many people pulling together to help this family move forward into our care. We are honored to move them forward. 

Emmie and her pups have been lucky to have lived in a loving foster family. This gave them all the opportunity to learn some of the ins and outs of living in a home. All of the babies did an incredible job with their foster family and have since moved onto foster homes where they are getting additional love and attention in smaller groups. Moe is an absolute love. A little less confident than some of his siblings, he likes a chance to explore his environment. However, with a trusted handler close by, he quickly adjusts. Having already begun socializing with new people, animals, and in new environments, Moe is already building a solid foundation. It is imperative that his family continue this process as he moves forward. Moe, like all dogs, will thrive in a home with structure, routine, and leadership. With the right set-up, we know this little love bug will be impressive. Although Moe is precious, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, and training, Moe will become a stable and confident adult. Moe is looking for a forever family that will cherish him for a lifetime. If he sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today!

Marley and her seven incredible Disney puppies (Jasmine, Eric, Phillip, Aladdin, Aurora, Ariel, and Belle) were dumped at a shelter that was over-capacity. Although Marley is an incredible mom who was doing everything to help her babies grow, a crowded shelter environment is not a safe place for any animal, particularly a young family. Recognizing that Marley and her babies needed help and fast, the shelter immediately sent out a plea for help. As puppy season is in full swing, many rescues have been inundated with puppies. This situation has further elevated the importance of spaying and neutering pets as the number of homeless animals is simply unsustainable. Rescues want to help; however, many groups are just as overwhelmed as the shelters. Fortunately, MAGSR's incredible team came together to help Marley and her pups move forward in the safety of the rescue family. 

The Disney puppies and their phenomenal mother, Marley, have been living with one of our amazing foster families. Surrounded by loving and caring people, each member of the family has had all that they needed and more. These babies have had endless opportunities to learn, grow, and explore. This socialization is essential to their success. As the Disney puppies move forward, their families will need to continue to socialize them with varied people, animals, and in different environments. This will help all of the babies develop into stable and confident adults. Although they are being raised together, each of these babies has unique qualities. Eric is the most timid in the bunch. He likes to take his time to get to know his people. He is observant and patient when building new relationships. Once he is comfortable, Eric is playful, affectionate, and cuddly. Although Eric is a delight, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience and routine, we know that Eric will develop into a good canine citizen. If your household is ready to welcome this little guy into your home, please ask to meet him today!

Stunning Suzie and her buddy, Bubba, were picked up as strays in the south. Although both dogs were friendly, when the pair arrived in an overcrowded shelter they were on borrowed time. Unfortunately, with numbers at critical levels in most places, many shelters are struggling to keep up with the number of animals needing placement. Hoping to ensure that as many animals as possible make it out alive, shelter staff are doing everything they can to transfer dogs to reputable groups. When Suzie and Bubba were not claimed by a family, they were both placed on the list to be euthanized. Knowing that these dogs deserved the chance to move forward, a plea went out to the GSD community for help. Although we were also sitting near capacity, we knew both dogs were out of options. Team MAGSR began working with other groups in the area to pull both dogs to safety at the last second. 

Suzie is a stunning girl. Intelligent, active, and friendly, she is an adventurous girl with plenty of shepherd energy. As is typical of the breed, Suzie is looking for a forever family that will exercise both her body and her mind on a daily basis. This will help her develop the stability and confidence needed to become a good canine citizen. In many ways a blank slate, Suzie does not yet know general leash or household expectations. However, as a praise and food motivated girl, we know Suzie will pick up these skills quickly. Our volunteers have already begun working with Suzie to begin this process. As she moves forward, training will be critical to her success. Not only will training help Suzie develop a healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to meet with success. Suzie is looking for an active forever family that will provide her with the structure, routine, and leadership that all GSDs crave. If this special girl sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!
