Description

Worf spent his entire life with one family, growing up in a busy home filled with a large pack of dogs and a revolving door of at least six kids. He adored his family and thrived in the hustle and bustle, doing wonderfully with the children around him. As one of the more confident dogs in the pack, Worf understood structure, though he occasionally clashed with an older alpha dog. His family loved him deeply, but with so many moving parts in the home, they realized they couldn’t give Worf the individual attention he truly deserved. Making the incredibly difficult and selfless decision, they chose to seek rescue placement so he could have the opportunity to shine in a home of his own.

When Worf joined the MAGSR family, one thing was immediately clear — “that’s a lotta dog!” And it’s true… but it’s all wrapped up in affection for people. Worf is incredibly sweet in the home. Whether he’s lounging on the couch or proudly bringing you his favorite toy for a game of fetch, he just wants to be near his humans. He has been wonderful with visitors in his foster home and remains friendly and composed when meeting new people out on walks. Smart and eager, Worf already knows some basic commands and does best with structure, routine, and clear expectations. Continued training will not only strengthen his bond with his future family but also help him grow into an exceptional canine companion.

Worf is already housebroken and crate trained, and he understands the rhythm of home life. He’s the kind of dog who will happily hang out by your desk while you work, patiently waiting for that next play session or walk. While Worf has a great foundation, he will need a little time, patience, and space to decompress as he transitions into his forever home. With the right family, he’s going to absolutely thrive.

If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent, and loving companion — Worf might just be your perfect match.

Description

If you’re looking for sunshine wrapped in fur, look no further than Sim! This happy, affectionate girl is full of life, energy, and love to share. Sim is always ready to greet new friends—human or canine—with her trademark wiggly booty, bright eyes, and big, goofy grin. She loves meeting new people and has never met a stranger. Although she hasn’t been around children before, her friendly, social nature suggests she would greet them with the same enthusiasm she shows adults.

Sim is a fun-loving, curious companion who thrives on attention and playtime. She’s happiest when she’s part of the action, whether that’s going for a run, playing in the yard, or just soaking up affection from her favorite humans. She’s loyal, full of personality, and has an infectious zest for life that makes every day brighter. Sim is simply all about enjoying every ounce of life. As is true of the breed, particularly younger GSDs, Sim will thrive with continued training, clear boundaries, and consistent structure. She knows how to sit and shake paws, but she’s still working on perfecting her potty training and leash manners. Her curiosity sometimes gets the best of her—she may zigzag on walks, pull ahead to investigate something fascinating, or stubbornly stop when something catches her eye—but with patience, direction, and positive reinforcement, she’s eager to learn and please.

At home, Sim is a bundle of energy and curiosity. She doesn’t guard her food, toys, or space and plays well with other dogs, though her enthusiasm can sometimes overwhelm those who want quiet time. Sim is definitely not a couch potato. With this in mind, she is still working on understanding boundaries and can get herself into a bit of mischief. Sim has been known to chew on household items, dig in the yard or trash, and even counter surf for interesting objects (though not food!). She’s also quite the clever girl—when she needs to go outside, she’ll sometimes try to open doors herself by standing on her hind legs and turning the knob. She’s not crate trained yet and can’t have bedding or blankets, as she enjoys tearing them apart, but with time and guidance, she’ll learn what’s hers to play with. When provided with clear rules, routines, and structures, Sim will shine. 

Sim’s best qualities are her friendly, loving spirit and her playful energy. She adores people and always wants to be involved in what’s going on. She would thrive in a home that can give her plenty of exercise, affection, and patient training. She’s beautiful, smart, and full of potential—what more could you ask for? If you think your home is the right fit for this amazing girl, ask to meet her today. She’s ready to find the forever family she’s always deserved.

Updates:
She is such a snuggle love – one of her favorite things to do is cuddle on the couch with us so if someone is looking for affectionate lass, she is your girl!She is learning to tame her teen girl energy – the 2 week board and train was fantastic and really helped her with self-control and appropriate behavior.  She holds place really well with distractions – for so far like 20 minutes!  Still working on recall but her walk and heel are great!  She loves to play/roughhouse outside with Lucy, our 3 year old GSD – great way to release energy.  A home with another friendly dog would be great for her.  FYI we have Midas (old foster and my sister’s dog) for 10 days and he was initially ok but then went after her – he is a bully and now she is afraid of him so she might be a little more cautious meeting new dogs now. She is crate and house trained. – Sleeps in large crate at night in our room and when we leave she stays in a crate in kitchen for a few hours. I would let her sleep outside of crate in our room but no room for a third dog on our bed!She is very good meeting new people – I have not had her close to young kids but with adults and other dogs she is friendly .  Will have better info on that when we take her to breweries now that weather is getting betterFavorite things – SNOW SNOW SNOW!  Long walks – we are looking forward to some trail hikes now that weather is better.She enjoys playing ball.  She loves a kong with kibble and pb, preferably frozen.  And of course lots of snuggles.She definitely has husky in there – talkative.She has a strong prey drive – got a rabbit in our yard the other day. We have cat but she is staying in basement as she did go hard toward her once.

Pan

Adopted: 03/31/2026!

Gender: Male

Breed: German Shepherd Mix

Approximate Age: 14wk

Color: Black & Tan

Current Size: 24lb

Ideal/Potential Size: Large

Housebroken: Likely

Obedience Trained: No, I'm a puppy!

Living with: Foster

History: Other Rescue

Good with Kids: Likely

Good with Cats: Likely

Other Dogs OK: Likely

Description

Pan and his five siblings were part of an accidental litter. Fortunately, their family recognized the importance of making sure the entire litter had the support and resources needed to succeed. Wanting the very best for all six little lives, they reached out to a local rescue group for help. The puppies were welcomed into rescue and began their journey toward finding forever homes. Several of Pan’s siblings quickly found their families, leaving this sweet boy still searching for his perfect match. Knowing that Pan would thrive in a breed-specific rescue, the group reached out to MAGSR for help. We knew right away that this handsome little guy would be a wonderful addition to the MAGSR family.

Pan is an exceptional puppy with a wonderful start to his training. He is already about 98% house trained and will politely whine to let you know when he needs to go outside. Pan is also crate trained and, for a puppy, has a slightly calmer and lower-energy personality than many puppies. Of course, he still enjoys playtime and puppy adventures, but he also has a sweet, easygoing side. This handsome boy truly loves everyone he meets. Like most puppies, Pan is playful and still learning boundaries as he grows. He has been well socialized with other dogs, cats, adults, and children, giving him a great foundation as he searches for his forever family.

Although Pan is absolutely adorable, it’s important to 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, training, and clear expectations, Pan has all the potential to grow into an incredible canine citizen and loyal companion. If handsome Pan sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today!

Description

Lovely Moiraine was picked up as a stray with her pup and brought to a local shelter. Although both dogs were clearly well-socialized and friendly, they sat at the shelter without anyone stepping forward to claim them. Knowing that they were special dogs who would be most successful if placed with a breed specific rescue, the shelter reached out to MAGSR for help. They found the perfect placement for the pup but needed a home for Moiraine. Too many momma's get left behind far too often. Team MAGSR knew that we would find Moiraine the perfect placement and give this marevelous momma a loving home of her very own. Without a second thought, we welcomed Moiraine to the MAGSR family.

Moiraine is the picture of a true German Shepherd — intelligent, loyal, and devoted to her people. This beautiful mama dog embodies everything that makes the breed so special: she’s protective yet gentle, confident yet affectionate, and always eager to please. Since joining the MAGSR family, Moiraine has had the opportunity to socialize with a variety of people and has constantly impressed us with her social personality. She's a quick learner who will thrive with continued training, structure, and clear boundaries - the kind of dog who blossoms when given purpose and guidance. In fact, Moiraine has already begun to develop her basic obedience with one of our amazing training partners. She is developing leash manners and basic commands. Although we do not know much about Moiraine's past, we do know her future is bright!

After lovingly raising her puppies, Moiraine is ready to enjoy a home of her own where she can be the one getting all the attention.  With her classic Shepherd spirit and steady companionship, Moiraine will be a faithful, loving partner to someone who appreciates the brilliance and heart of this remarkable breed. If Moiraine sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

Updates:
As Moiraine has continued to settle into her environment, we’ve learned even more about this sweet girl’s personality. Moiraine is a soft, lovable shepherd who absolutely adores her people. She loves cuddle time, belly rubs, and being close to those she trusts. While she may be a little shy when meeting new people, she warms up quickly and becomes a devoted companion who simply wants to be loved.Moiraine is a medium-energy girl with both a calm, snuggly side and a playful, energetic side. She enjoys working and thrives when she has structure and direction from her handler. Moiraine is very attentive to her surroundings and extremely responsive to her handler, listening well to commands and showing how much she enjoys learning and pleasing her person. As a working-minded dog, she does best when she has regular outlets for her energy and mental engagement.When overstimulated, Moiraine may become a bit mouthy, but this is not done with harmful intent. Providing structure, clear guidance, and appropriate outlets for her energy helps her stay balanced and successful. She responds well to corrections and is eager to refocus on her handler.Moiraine can be dog-friendly with proper introductions, though slow and controlled introductions are important for her comfort. She prefers calm canine companions and does best in a structured environment rather than free-range play with highly boisterous dogs. She has some prey drive, so homes with cats or small dogs would not be a good match for her.We have also observed that Moiraine has no food or toy aggression and does not display resource guarding. She sometimes likes to play tug with her lead, and this is something we are actively working on with her training. She redirects well with guidance and continues to make good progress.At the end of the day, Moiraine is truly a fluffy love bug who enjoys curling up with her people and relaxing with a favorite bone after a day of activity. She is looking for a home that understands the German Shepherd breed and will provide the structure, engagement, and love she deserves.With the right family, Moiraine will be a deeply loyal, affectionate, and devoted companion.

Description

Elegant Everest was picked up as a stray in the South and brought to a local shelter, where staff patiently waited for her family to come claim her. Sadly, like so many others, Everest wasn’t one of the lucky pups who got to go home. When no one stepped forward, shelter staff began searching for the right placement, and for a moment it seemed Everest had finally found her forever family. But within two weeks, she was back—confused, heartbroken, and unsure what had gone wrong. Knowing Everest deserved a family who would truly commit to her, shelter staff reached out to breed-specific rescues for help. When our team learned she needed a safe option to move forward, we knew the MAGSR family was the right fit.

Everest is a friendly, sensitive girl who has bounced around more than any dog should. She adores being near her people and is wonderfully attentive, but her past experiences have left her a bit timid during introductions. Give her a little time, patience, and a few tasty treats, and her warm, affectionate personality begins to shine. While much of her past is unknown, it’s clear someone invested in her early socialization. Everest is unbothered by the other dogs in her foster home and enjoys being near both people and animals. She reads canine cues well and thrives in a pack environment. Already housebroken and crate trained, she has a solid start on the basics of living in a home. As with any newcomer, she’ll need time to adjust to her forever family’s routines, but she is eager to learn and aims to please.

Everest is highly food-motivated and loves both treats and praise. She sits politely when asked and is beginning to learn additional basic commands. Continued training will be essential to her confidence and success. It will also help Everest develop a healthy bond with her forever family. Medically, Everest arrived heartworm positive—a completely preventable condition had she been given proper monthly prevention. Thankfully, the diagnosis was made early, her treatment is underway, and she’s handling it with grace. She seems to understand that with just a bit more time and patience, she’ll be ready for a fresh start.

Everest is searching for a family that enjoys daily exercise, playtime, and the companionship of a truly special dog. If this stunning girl sounds like the perfect match for your home, ask to meet her today!

Description

Sweet Mama Sage found herself in an incredibly tough situation in the South after being surrendered to an overcrowded shelter - one where many dogs step in but never get the chance to step back out due to a lack of space. Fate, however, had other plans. As Sage arrived with a hidden surprise inside, a local rescue volunteer happened to be walking out. Recognizing the danger Sage faced, she immediately began networking this lovely girl, determined to give her a chance at a future. At the same time, MAGSR was already in conversations about another dog at the same shelter. Knowing Sage (and her special surprises) had no other options, our team made the decision that saving a few lives was better than saving one—and the girls joined the MAGSR family.

Upon arrival, our volunteers quickly discovered that Sage brought more than one little friend along - she brought nine! Sage was pregnant and due very soon. Knowing this little family would need a safe place to begin, one of our amazing fosters stepped forward and welcomed the Sage into her home. The family would multiply significantly within a couple weeks. Just before 2026 began, Sage welcomed nine furry babies to the world - the Nature Puppies (Brook, Wren, Terra, Briar, Moss, Timber, Hawk, Falcon, and Buckeye)! These little bundles of joy have been learning all about the world around them while under the watchful eye of their mother, Sage, and their incredible foster family. 

Unlike many babies who have joined the rescue family under very different circumstances, the Nature Puppies have had constant love, care, attention, and vetting since they were born. They have been learning social skills within a pack and have a good understanding of toys. Although these babies have had a loving start, it is critical that their forever families continue this process. Socialization with other people and animals in a variety of environments will be essential. Training will also be necessary for their success. Training will not only help the Nature puppies build a solid bond with their forever family, but it will also help these babies grow into good canine citizens. 

Although the Nature Puppies 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 each of the Nature Puppies will become loving members of their forever family. If one of our wiggly puppies sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet them today!

Description

Some dogs seem to go through more pain, hardship, and loss than we could fathom. If they could share their stories, people would be beyond surprised at how affectionate and charismatic so many of these dogs remain after having endured so much. Shotsy is one of those dogs. He is a true survivor. No one knows exactly what Shotsy went through prior to his arrival at animal control. We do know that people were not always kind to this big guy. Picked up as a stray, Shotsy was brought to an animal shelter that was sitting at critical capacity. The minute he walked in the door, he was in grave danger. With limited resources, extreme overcrowding, and a wealth of new sights, smells, and sounds, Shotsy was overwhelmed and wasn't showing well in the shelter environment. As a result, when his stray hold ended, Shotsy was moved to the list to be euthanized. At the last second, an incredible couple pulled Shotsy hoping to help him move forward. 

Recognizing that this senior boy needed some medical and social support, the couple got Shotsy everything he needed to meet with success. He had all of his medical needs addressed and even had a dental completed. He also had the chance to work with a trainer and start developing his manners. In addition, Shotsy had the opportunity to learn some of the ins and outs of living in a loving home with comfortable places to sleep and regular meals. Although the couple adored Shotsy, they knew that he needed a different type of household in order to meet with success. So, they made the decision to reach out to rescues for help to ensure that Shotsy could move forward safely with breed specific knowledge to support his success. 

Shotsy is a handsome and intelligent boy. He, like so many GSDs, reads the handler very well, quickly determining what he can and cannot get away with. With a calm, confident, and controlled handler, Shotsy shines. He adjusts well to clear rules, structure, and boundaries; however, like any typical GSD, he will try to take advantage of the situation if the opportunity presents itself. As a dominant male, Shotsy is happy to take on the role of alpha if given the opportunity. Already knowing several commands, Shotsy likes to work and appreciates having high expectations. Although this guy has had some training already, continued training will be key to his success. Training will not only help Shotsy develop a balanced and healthy relationship with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. A playful guy at heart, Shotsy is hoping that his forever family has plenty of toys. Toys that squeak and balls are some of his favorites. A handler with a good throwing arm sounds like a perfect match to Shotsy. When playtime is over each day, his perfect evening involves a good meal, a brushing, and a belly rub before bed.

Shotsy is looking for a loving, patient, and structured family that will cherish him throughout his golden years. If this stunning guy sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today!

Description

Patsy Cline, like far too many dogs, was born without the resources or care she needed to thrive. She spent her puppyhood living outdoors with little consistency, guidance, or attention. As her brothers and sisters were placed into homes, Patsy was left behind. In time, another accidental litter arrived—the Country Puppies: Reba, Lainey, and Shaina. Born into the same circumstances, all four dogs ultimately found themselves in need of help. Recognizing that the puppies deserved a safer, healthier start, their owner made the responsible decision to surrender them to MAGSR. When our team visited the property to meet the Country Puppies, it quickly became clear that Patsy Cline needed help as well. At MAGSR, we don’t leave family behind—so we promised to move Patsy forward alongside her sisters.

Patsy is a friendly, social, and affectionate young girl. While she didn’t have the upbringing we would have hoped for, she is clearly made of something special and has done wonderfully with our volunteers. Arriving without prior veterinary care, Patsy has been spending her time getting caught up on all the important medical support she needed. A playful and interactive pup, Patsy enjoys social time and brings plenty of young-dog energy to everything she does. She is still learning the ins and outs of living in a home with structure, routine, and clear expectations, so her forever family should be prepared to give her time to adjust. With patience, consistency, and guidance, Patsy will absolutely thrive. Training will be especially important for Patsy—not only to help her learn good manners, but also to build a strong, healthy bond with her family and develop the skills needed to become a confident, well-rounded canine citizen.

Patsy Cline is a young, energetic, and loving girl searching for a forever family who will cherish her for a lifetime. If your family is looking for an absolute sweetheart who would love days filled with adventure and nights spent snuggled close, ask to meet Patsy today!

Description

Handsome Rex was surrendered to a local shelter when his family could no longer care for him. It was clear from the start that Rex had been socialized with both people and other dogs; however, he had not been given the structure, routine, and training needed to truly set him up for success. Rex is a highly intelligent, energetic dog who simply was not made for a shelter environment.

Shelter staff worked tirelessly to meet his needs, but it became evident that Rex would not thrive without the support of a dedicated rescue. When MAGSR was asked to welcome Rex into our family, we knew this deserving boy needed a safe place to land and a clear path forward. Our team immediately put everything in place to help Rex begin his next chapter—one built on guidance, consistency, and the opportunity to become the incredible dog we know he can be.

Knowing training was critical to his success, one of our trusted training partners welcomed Rex into their care. This has given Rex a consistent outlet to work both his mind and body, a balanced approach that is essential to his continued progress and must remain a priority once he finds his forever family. Rex is definitely not a couch potato! He is looking for an active, experienced home that understands the breed and is committed to ongoing training.

Continued training will not only help Rex build a strong, healthy bond with his forever family, but will also help him develop the skills needed to become a confident, well-rounded canine citizen. While we may not know much about Rex’s past, we know his future is very bright. If this stunning boy sounds like a good match for your home, please ask to meet him today!

Description

Meet gorgeous Glacier from the Winter Litter! This adorable baby girl is ready to find her match. The **Winter Litter—Tundra, Glacier, and Frosty—**joined the MAGSR family a few weeks ago after being rescued from a local cruelty and neglect situation. An advocate reached out to local law enforcement after discovering these puppies were living in conditions that were simply unimaginable. When they arrived, all three were severely emaciated, full of worms, missing patches of fur, and understandably unsure of new people. They urgently needed rescue placement to begin their journey toward safety and healing. Thanks to our incredible foster families, prescribed medications, structured feeding schedules, and strong veterinary support, all three puppies were welcomed into the safety of the MAGSR family.

Glacier is a delightful, playful, and smart young pup who thrives when both her mind and body are exercised on a daily basis. Like many puppies who lacked early structure, Glacier has benefited greatly from an experienced foster home that has begun teaching her the ins and outs of living in a loving home environment. Crate training and housebreaking were first on the list, and Glacier has been doing a wonderful job learning these important skills.

Living in an established pack has also given Glacier the opportunity to learn appropriate social skills and understand pack structure—an essential foundation for her long-term success. With a strong desire to please her people, Glacier has begun learning basic expectations. Continued training and consistent opportunities to learn will help her grow into a confident, well-rounded canine citizen. While Glacier is undeniably cute, it’s important to remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With patience, consistency, and training, Glacier has all the potential to mature into a stable, confident adult dog.

If this beautiful girl sounds like the perfect match for your family, ask to meet Glacier today!

Updates:
Glacier is doing well, she is a sweetheart,  she loves cuddles and belly rubs.  She loves walking and playing with her toys.  She loves playing with other dogs and makes friends quickly.   Glacier listens to basic commands and is learning everyday.

Zar is a one-year-old German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as his puppy energy. Originally from the South, this handsome boy made the journey north as a rescue transfer so he could have a real shot at finding the forever home he deserves. Zar is the kind of dog who lights up the room—his tail never stops wagging, and he’s always ready to greet new friends with enthusiasm and a big smile.

Zar is a really charismatic guy. He adores people, loves playtime of any kind, and would thrive in an active home. This boy needs a family that will give him daily opportunities to stretch his legs, burn off some energy, and enjoy plenty of adventures. Working both his body and his mind on a daily basis, will help Zar reach his potential as a stable adult. Zar, like many young strays, will need some time to adjust to life in a home. He still needs to learn many of the rules and expectations. However, with patience, gentle guidance, and consistency, he’ll quickly learn the ropes and grow more confident each day. With his eager-to-please personality, a little training will go a long way in helping him blossom into the incredible companion he’s meant to be.

Like many young shepherds, Zar thrives with structure, routine, and clear leadership.

He is learning quickly and truly enjoying the process. Zar responds best to a calm, confident, and consistent handler, and continued training will be important as he matures into adolescence. Ongoing guidance will help him build a strong bond with his future family and set him up for long-term success. This fun-loving boy is highly motivated by toys and treats and has a special love for playing ball. Zar has already figured out that bringing the ball back makes the game even better, and he’s hoping his future family has a good throwing arm!Zar is looking for a dedicated family who will continue his training and help him develop into a confident, well-mannered companion.

Description

Sweet Mama Sage found herself in an incredibly tough situation in the South after being surrendered to an overcrowded shelter - one where many dogs step in but never get the chance to step back out due to a lack of space. Fate, however, had other plans. As Sage arrived with a hidden surprise inside, a local rescue volunteer happened to be walking out. Recognizing the danger Sage faced, she immediately began networking this lovely girl, determined to give her a chance at a future. At the same time, MAGSR was already in conversations about another dog at the same shelter. Knowing Sage (and her special surprises) had no other options, our team made the decision that saving a few lives was better than saving one—and the girls joined the MAGSR family.

Upon arrival, our volunteers quickly discovered that Sage brought more than one little friend along - she brought nine! Sage was pregnant and due very soon. Knowing this little family would need a safe place to begin, one of our amazing fosters stepped forward and welcomed the Sage into her home. The family would multiply significantly within a couple weeks. Just before 2026 began, Sage welcomed nine furry babies to the world - the Nature Puppies (Brook, Wren, Terra, Briar, Moss, Timber, Hawk, Falcon, and Buckeye)! These little bundles of joy have been learning all about the world around them while under the watchful eye of their mother, Sage, and their incredible foster family. 

Unlike many babies who have joined the rescue family under very different circumstances, the Nature Puppies have had constant love, care, attention, and vetting since they were born. They have been learning social skills within a pack and have a good understanding of toys. Although these babies have had a loving start, it is critical that their forever families continue this process. Socialization with other people and animals in a variety of environments will be essential. Training will also be necessary for their success. Training will not only help the Nature puppies build a solid bond with their forever family, but it will also help these babies grow into good canine citizens. 

Although the Nature Puppies 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 each of the Nature Puppies will become loving members of their forever family. If one of our wiggly puppies sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet them today!

Description

Joi’s life began as a beautiful gift — she and another dog were welcomed into a loving home where she was truly adored. When unexpected changes in the household turned her world upside down, Joi’s mom did everything in her power to keep her safe, loved, and healthy. When it became clear that Joi and her buddy deserved more than she could provide, she made the heartbreaking decision to seek rehoming. Joi’s partner found placement first, leaving her behind. But her mom never gave up. She kept searching for the right, safe solution — and when she reached out to the Mid-Atlantic German Shepherd Rescue (MAGSR) our team knew immediately this was a devoted owner simply trying to do right by her girl. We promised Joi’s mom we would find her an amazing forever family — one that will love her for a lifetime.

Joi is everything you’d expect from a typical German Shepherd — intelligent, affectionate, loyal, and ready for a challenge. She loves to work with her handler and is eager to learn. Having had some training early in life, Joi already knows several commands and is highly food motivated, which makes her a wonderful candidate for continued training. Ongoing training will not only sharpen her skills but will also help her build a deep bond with her forever family and grow into an outstanding canine citizen.

Because Joi has lived in a home, she understands many of the ins and outs of household living. That said, every home has different routines and expectations, so she will need time to decompress and adjust. With structure, consistency, clear leadership, and patience, Joi will thrive in her new environment. She can be a little protective of her food around other animals and prefers to dine separately from furry housemates — and honestly, who can blame her? When something delicious is right in front of you, it’s best enjoyed without interruptions!

Playful and toy-savvy, Joi enjoys a variety of toys and would love a home that keeps the fun coming. With the right family, she will absolutely shine. If you are looking for an intelligent, playful, and attentive companion who is ready to build a lifelong bond, Joi may be the perfect match for you.

Description

Sweet Sage found herself in an incredibly tough situation in the South after being surrendered to an overcrowded shelter—one where many dogs step in but never get the chance to step back out due to a lack of space. Fate, however, had other plans. As Sage arrived, a local rescue volunteer happened to be walking out. Recognizing the danger Sage faced, she immediately began networking this lovely girl, determined to give her a chance at a future. At the same time, MAGSR was already in conversations about another dog at the same shelter. Knowing Sage had no other options, our team made the decision that saving two lives was better than saving one—and both girls joined the MAGSR family.

Sage is a beautiful young dog with a soft caramel-colored coat and an even sweeter personality. Just under a year old when she entered her temporary foster home in the South, Sage was underweight but incredibly affectionate. With full meals, a soft bed, and a consistent routine, she quickly began to thrive. It became clear that Sage already had some important skills—she is social, walks well on leash, and loves to lean in for cuddles. Though her past is unknown, it’s obvious someone showed her kindness along the way. She is comfortable with people and other animals, and while she occasionally needs redirection when she gets a little too playful with the resident cat, she responds well to guidance.

Sage impressed her foster family by excelling with crate training and making great progress with housebreaking. When she recently traveled north to her current foster home in the Mid-Atlantic, it was clear that she had been enjoying her daily meals—she had gained some healthy weight. Upon closer inspection, however, it became apparent that the extra pounds weren’t just from good food… Sage was pregnant. Still a puppy herself in many ways, sweet Sage arrived with more than one little passenger. Knowing she deserves to feel safe, calm, and comfortable while finishing out her pregnancy, one of our incredible foster families welcomed her in and is providing everything she needs to rest, nest, and prepare for motherhood. Donations toward Sage’s baby shower can be made at https://a.co/angSJOp.

As Sage’s medical care is now being closely monitored, we also learned that she is heartworm positive—a diagnosis that could have been prevented with monthly heartworm prevention. Because treatment cannot begin until after her puppies are weaned, Sage will require careful monitoring over the coming months as she delivers, raises her babies, and later begins heartworm treatment. This care will be extensive and costly, but Sage is absolutely worth it. Please consider donating to support her ongoing medical needs.

Despite everything she’s been through, Sage remains a joyful, affectionate girl with a heart of gold. Because of her size, it’s easy to forget she’s still very much a puppy—and she does puppy things! She is eager to love, quick to bond, and ready to be someone’s very best friend when the time is right.

Stay tuned for updates on Sage and her growing family. 

Updates:
The evening of 12/30, Sage went into labor. By 2:30 AM on New Year's Eve, all nine of her babies were welcomed into the world, cleaned, and fed. Despite being almost a puppy herself, mama Sage has been doing everything she needs to and, with the help of her amazing foster family, she and her beautiful puppies are doing well and the puppies are gaining weight nicely.
