Description

Cinder is one of the 8 Campfire puppies, who were named through a contest with our beloved donors. These adorable siblings have been growing so well and have, of course, maintained some very typical puppy behaviors. They are active, intelligent, and very good with other animals. With a good understanding of toys, treats, and a soft place to relax, all the babies have been lucky to stay together with mom and each other during the neonatal and transitional stage. Still developing their socialization skills, these boys and gal will need endless opportunities to socialize with people and other animals in safe and controlled settings. Socialization is critical to their success as this will help them develop into stable adult dogs. 

Although these babies are cute as can be, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. Giving them the time, training, patience, and leadership they need, we know that the siblings are destined for greatness. Each of these amazing babies are looking for a household that will provide them with a good balance of training, playtime, and cuddles. If one of these cute little babies sounds like the right match for your family, get your application in today so that you can meet them as soon as they're ready to go home!

Description

Mika’s story began like far too many dogs in the South — picked up as a stray and brought into an overcrowded shelter system where countless wonderful dogs never get the chance to leave alive. Thankfully, Mika caught the attention of the right people. They recognized immediately that she was an exceptional girl who deserved a future filled with love, safety, and family.

When MAGSR was asked to help Mika move forward, we knew her life was absolutely worth saving. Welcoming her into rescue was one of the easiest decisions we’ve made.

Mika is an absolute sweetheart who wins hearts everywhere she goes. With her soulful eyes and affectionate personality, she has a gentle presence that makes people fall in love instantly. Somewhere along her journey, Mika was fortunate enough to receive positive socialization with dogs and other animals, giving her a wonderful foundation of social skills that her future family can continue to build upon. Like any German Shepherd, Mika will thrive in a home that provides structure, consistency, and clear expectations. Ongoing training will be an important part of her success — helping her continue to strengthen bonds with her family while growing into a confident and well-rounded canine citizen.

Unfortunately, Mika is currently heartworm positive, a condition that could have been prevented with monthly preventative care. The good news is that her treatment has already begun, and she is on the road to recovery. Over the next few months, Mika will need a calm environment while she heals. Heartworm treatment is costly, but we know this beautiful girl is worth every penny. Donations toward Mika’s care not only help her continue moving forward but also allow us to save other dogs with medical needs.

While we may never know much about Mika’s past, we know her future is incredibly bright. She is searching for a loving family that will welcome her into their home and provide the care, comfort, exercise, and companionship every dog deserves.

If Mika sounds like the perfect addition to your family, ask to meet her today.

Marlo

Housebroken: Yes

Obedience Trained: Unknown

Living with: Foster

History: Shelter

Good with Kids: Likely

Other Dogs OK: Better with big dogs

Description

Marlo is a stunning German Shepherd with a heart as big as his paws. He showed up at a country home down south and was reported as a stray, but when no one came for him, it became clear that Marlo was searching for something more—a family. He chose an incredibly kind home to visit and quickly showed what a wonderful dog he is. Despite his prey drive for small critters, Marlo was great with the children and got along well with other dogs. One of his favorite things? The moment you approach him, he eagerly drops, rolls over, and offers his belly for scratches—clearly a professional at soaking up affection.

Although we don't know much about his past, it is clear that someone took the time to provide this boy with a solid foundation. Marlo is quiet and well-mannered in his crate and truly enjoys going for walks. Sadly, like many dogs from the south, Marlo is heartworm positive. The good news is that MAGSR covers all of his heartworm treatment, so his future family can focus on loving him and helping him heal. This boy is already moving forward with his care. Marlo will need to take it easy over the next few months while his body heals. However, as he is already a pro with the crate and responsive to the handler, Marlo is the perfect patient. Please consider donating to Marlo's care. Not only will your donation help Marlo receive the care he needs, but it will help us continue to welcome other dogs with medical needs. 

Marlo is affectionate, gentle, and deeply loyal—ready to give his whole heart to a family who will give him the forever home he’s been waiting for. Could you be the one to give Marlo his happy ending?

Updates:
Marlo has finally completed his heartworm treatment journey. After receiving his first negative microfilaria test in early May, all he needs left is a negative 4DX to be officially home-free. After many months of frustrating crate-rest, this energetic boy was even given training from our partners at Mason Dixon K9 to help level him back out and remember how to be a good boy!

Kya

Adopted: 08/30/2026!

Breed: German Shepherd Dog

Approximate Age: 2 yr

Color: Sable

Current Size: 60 lbs

Housebroken: Yes

Obedience Trained: Basic Commands

Living with: Foster

History: Owner Surrender

Description

Kya is a stunning young female German Shepherd who effortlessly turns heads wherever she goes. Having lived in a loving home since she was a puppy, Kya has a strong foundation and understands many of the ins and outs of living in a household. She is already housebroken and crate trained, making her transition into a new home much easier. However, as is true of all GSDs, she will need time, patience, and structure while she adjusts to her new household. 

Highly intelligent and full of drive, Kya is a dog who truly enjoys working and learning. Her family recognized her motivation early on and provided opportunities for socialization and training from a young age. As Kya matured, it became clear that she needed a home capable of meeting her higher-level needs—both mentally and physically. Kya thrives when she has a purpose and requires daily outlets to exercise her body and challenge her mind. Advanced training, agility, or a job of her own would be excellent fits for this talented girl.

Although her family adored her, they made the difficult and selfless decision to surrender Kya to MAGSR, knowing she needed more than they could provide. Kya is not a couch potato. She is seeking an active, experienced home that will embrace her energy, intelligence, and drive. This girl is incredibly handler-focused and reads her person well. With calm, consistent, and clear leadership, she truly excels. She will thrive in a home that provides structure, routine, and clear expectations, allowing her to reach her full potential.

Kya is ready to find a family of her very own—one that will appreciate her abilities and help her shine. If this lovely girl sounds like the right match for your home, please ask to meet her today!

Updates:
Kya has been in her foster home for a couple weeks and is doing very well.  Kya is everything you'd expect from a quality working-line GSD.  She's very beautiful and in excellent physical condition, has abundant youthful energy and drive, is handler focused, has a strong personality and spirit, and can be excitable when stimulated.  She knows her basic commands and has very good obedience, but she will push and test if not given consistent boundaries, structure, and leadership as she continues to mature, learn, and grow.   Kya has settled in well with the two older resident female GSDs in the home, crates well, and settles easily at night.  She's been going to training with her foster to improve her off leash compliance in the face of distance and distractions, and is making good progress.  She has very strong toy drive, and enjoys her twice daily bike jaunts, that help her to burn off some of that energy! Kya is a hugely appealing and very fun dog, and is not shy!   The flip side of that is if her handler is not fully in charge she will be. So she needs strong leadership, consistency, structure,  clear communication and limits, and positive engagement to exercise her mind and body. If you are ready to keep up with her, and provide the love and leadership she needs to thrive, please ask to meet Kya!

Astra

Adopted: 08/29/2026!

Gender: Female

Breed: German Shepherd Dog

Approximate Age: 10-12 months

Ideal/Potential Size: 75 lbs

Housebroken: Likely

Obedience Trained: Working on it

Living with: Trainer

History: Shelter

Good with Kids: Unknown

Good with Cats: Unknown

Other Dogs OK: Yes

Description

Astra is a young, gorgeous girl who was found scared and fending for herself near a busy road. She was understandably scared and needed a little convincing that the people around her were there to help. Astra is a smart girl though, and it didn't take long for her to realize that her saviors were trustworthy folks- very soon after rescue she was showing to be an affectionate girl who had clearly had human and dog socialization in her short life. So she waited for her family to come and claim her...and was left waiting. Seeing that Astra deserves a family that understands the breed, the shelter contacted MAGSR to ensure that Astra got the happily ever after that she so deserves. 

Astra craves attention, routine and mental stimulation. She loves to be brushed and doted upon, and she has exhibited good social skills with other dogs. She wants to be with her people and is a willing training partner, once she has a chance to warm up to her handler. Astra has started to learn some basic obedience-- walking on a leash and basic commands-- and will need a family dedicated to continuing to teach her manners and provide structure and routine in order to be a productive member of doggy society. Astra is kind hearted and smart as a whip, but she does appreciate a slow hand and someone willing to allow her to pause, assess and adjust before pressing forward with handling and training. Slow intros to new people, pets and surroundings allow her to use her sheppie smarts to realize she is safe and secure in new situations. Due to her stressful time spent near a busy road, Astra is particularly skittish near roads, so she will need a steady handler to teach her that traffic is to be respected, but not feared, and extra care should be taken to keep a tight hand on the leash as she learns to trust. Like any young shepherd, Astra's ideal family will be prepared to give her physical outlets as well- she is ready to run and play and needs a family that can keep up with her! 

Astra longs for a forever family that can help her gain the confidence to truly bloom into the gorgeous dog we see on the outside. Could your family be the happily ever after that she so deserves?

Description

MAGSR is honored to be a resource to shelters in need. And when one of our shelter partners reached out trying to find a safe landing for two shepherd pups, we knew we had to answer the call! 

At 9 weeks old, Olive and Martini are littermates learning all about the world. They are as close to a blank slate as you can get when adopting a dog! While we do not know much about their parentage or how they ended up at a shelter, we do know that they have their whole lives ahead of them to be shaped and molded into great canine citizens. They have seen plenty of change in only two months of life, but routine and stability will be the perfect remedy to set them up for long term success.

As with any puppy, these two are playful, curious and adorable babies that bring joy and laughter, but also require patience and persistence to mold them into their best selves. Puppies are a lot of work! They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics.  Each of these amazing babies are looking for a household that will provide them with a good balance of training, playtime, and cuddles. 

Olive and Martini will be adopted separately, as we believe this will give each of them the best opportunity to bond with their new family, develop independence, and thrive. Could Olive or Martini be your next best friend?

Description

When MAGSR heard that three beautiful young German Shepherds were at risk of euthanasia because they were terrified and available to rescue only, we answered the call.

At 8 months old, Kessa and Kaiser are adorable bookend twins and half-siblings to 9-month-old Cherry. The three share the same father, while Cherry has a different mother. They had lived outdoors their entire lives, and when their breeder could not sell them, they were surrendered to a local shelter. Understandably, the sudden change left them frightened and unsure.

Simply getting Kessa and Kaiser out of the shelter environment allowed us to see a whole new side of these sweet babies. Kessa is a little more confident than Kaiser, but both are making tremendous strides. They love going for walks and romping around the play yard, where their playful personalities are beginning to shine.

These pups need to gain some weight and are currently on a carefully monitored refeeding program, as they did not have the best start in life. Having never lived inside a home, they are working on housebreaking and learning household routines. Each will need a patient family committed to continued training, guidance, consistency, and reassurance as they build confidence and learn what it means to be a beloved family member.

Kessa and Kaiser will be adopted separately, as we believe this will give each of them the best opportunity to bond with their new family, develop independence, and thrive. Could Kessa or Kaiser be your next best friend?

Kessa and Kaiser are 8-month-old “bookend twins” who are blossoming outside the shelter and love walks and play-yard adventures. They’ll be adopted separately and each needs a patient family committed to continued training—could one be your next best friend?

Updates:
Kessa is transitioning nicely to her foster home with her brother Kaiser and the adult resident dog. She is clever, spunky, and energetic. She is by far the smallest dog in the house, but is very much in charge. She seems more motivated by competition and engagement than by treats and is highly interested in whatever anybody might be doing without her. She is already an expert in mid-air ball catching and fetch and has responded well to both crate training and house training. She has been good with visitors in the house, though is hesitant initially about humans given her prior poor experience with them. It is evident that she really wants to bond, but it will be on her terms. Her foster family enjoy her tremendously and feel very excited about her potential.

Description

Darwin had a storybook start in a loving home with all things he needed and deserved. He was adored and cared for until one day his "mom" suddenly and tragically passed away.  Unfortunately, none of her friends or family were in a position to offer Darwin a way forward and he was surrendered to a shelter at the young age of nine months. Knowing that Darwin had a bright future, the shelter reached out to MAGSR who was honored to step in for this handsome fellow. 

Since arriving to MAGSR, it's clear that Darwin was well loved and cared for in his previous home, but at only nine months he certainly has a lot of energy and will need structure and training to put some manners on this big guy and help him develop into the good citizen he is destined to be. He will need to learn how to walk well on the leash and develop some maturity to prevent him from jumping up when excited. He seems to interact well with other dogs and is otherwise a decently blank slate for a family who is looking to help a young dog discover the world and mold them into their new best friend. Darwin will require physical and mental outlets for his energy and his family will have to look past his extreme cuteness to set the boundaries and that all German Shepherds crave. Could your family offer Darwin the second chance he so deserves?

Kaiser

Adopted: 08/15/2026!

Gender: Male

Breed: German Shepherd Dog

Approximate Age: 8 mos

Color: Black & Tan

Current Size: 45 lbs

History: Shelter

Description

When MAGSR heard that three beautiful young German Shepherds were at risk of euthanasia because they were terrified and available to rescue only, we answered the call.

At 8 months old, Kessa and Kaiser are adorable bookend twins and half-siblings to 9-month-old Cherry. The three share the same father, while Cherry has a different mother. They had lived outdoors their entire lives, and when their breeder could not sell them, they were surrendered to a local shelter. Understandably, the sudden change left them frightened and unsure.

Simply getting Kessa and Kaiser out of the shelter environment allowed us to see a whole new side of these sweet babies. Kessa is a little more confident than Kaiser, but both are making tremendous strides. They love going for walks and romping around the play yard, where their playful personalities are beginning to shine.

These pups need to gain some weight and are currently on a carefully monitored refeeding program, as they did not have the best start in life. Having never lived inside a home, they are working on housebreaking and learning household routines. Each will need a patient family committed to continued training, guidance, consistency, and reassurance as they build confidence and learn what it means to be a beloved family member.

Kessa and Kaiser will be adopted separately, as we believe this will give each of them the best opportunity to bond with their new family, develop independence, and thrive. Could Kessa or Kaiser be your next best friend?
 

Updates:
Kaiser has responded very well in his foster setting with his sister Kessa and the resident adult dog. He has a mellow demeanor and is just fine watching the action rather than joining it. His sister has a stronger personality and he appears fine with accepting her lead. He responds quickly to training and has happily accepted crate training and has been great in the house. Kaiser is shy and sensitive and it is evident that he has been treated harshly in the past. He responds to gentle coaxing and needs a little encouragement to face new sights and sounds. He very much wants pets and attention and he is drawn to his foster humans, but trust is not automatic. With proper support and positive experiences, Kaiser shows all the potential to be a wonderful companion and great buddy.

Description

Like far too many dogs, Watson was picked up as a local stray and brought to a nearby shelter to wait for someone to come claim him. Shelter staff worked hard to ensure he had everything he needed, but life inside an overcrowded shelter — especially one undergoing ongoing construction with limited kennel space — quickly became overwhelming for this young shepherd.

German Shepherds are incredibly intelligent, sensitive dogs who often struggle in stressful shelter environments. Day after day, Watson tried his best to cope with the noise, chaos, and constant activity around him. While staff did everything possible to keep his spirits up and make him comfortable, they knew shelter life was no place for a dog like Watson to spend his days. A plea for rescue support was sent out, and fortunately, one of MAGSR’s wonderful foster families had an opening. Team MAGSR quickly welcomed Watson into the family, giving him the chance to finally decompress and begin learning what stability feels like.

Young, handsome, and intelligent, Watson embodies many of the classic German Shepherd traits people know and love. He is playful, enthusiastic, and absolutely adores toys — especially balls. In fact, chances are good you’ll find him proudly carrying one around wherever he goes. Watson approaches life with excitement and curiosity, always ready for the next game, adventure, or opportunity to make a new friend.

As a young shepherd with plenty of energy and drive, Watson will thrive in a home committed to meeting both his physical and mental needs each day. Exercise, structure, training, and enrichment will help him continue developing into a balanced and confident adult dog. A home focused solely on lounging around the house would not be the best fit for this active, playful boy. Watson is looking for a family that will appreciate his joyful spirit and help channel his energy in positive and productive ways.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding his past, Watson has shown himself to be a social and happy dog. He does well with other dogs and has clearly experienced positive interactions with people along the way. His friendly personality and eagerness to connect with those around him make it easy to see just how much potential this young guy has.

Because Watson arrived as a stray, there is still much we are learning about him. Now settled into a foster home, he is beginning to learn the routines and expectations that come with living in a household environment. Housebreaking, crate training, and general manners are all part of the learning process for any new rescue dog. While Watson is already making progress, he will need patience, consistency, and clear guidance from his forever family as he continues to build confidence and life skills.

What we know for certain is that Watson deserves a chance — a chance to feel safe, loved, and truly at home. With the right family by his side, this fun-loving young shepherd has all the makings of an incredible lifelong companion. If you are looking for an energetic, affectionate, and playful shepherd to share your adventures, ask to meet Watson today.

Description

Sangria is a stunning German Shepherd puppy whose whole accidental litter was surrendered to a shelter. All were adopted except for Sangria, and her sister, Bellini. MAGSR was happy to step up and help them find the perfect families to move forward with!

Sangria's foster says she is a fan of couches and crime TV, but not so keen on stairs just yet. She describes her as a "snuggle bunny in sassy britches", and says she is confident, intelligent and a bundle of fun. They are particularly enjoying her puppy antics as she plays with her large foster brother. Sangria is learning the ins and outs of house training and general obedience. This little girl even prefers to walk herself on the leash! Her foster is doing an excellent job of getting Sangria out and about to socialize, which will be important for her future family to continue.

Although she couldn't be cuter, remember that puppy antics are not for the faint of heart! She loves to chew and will need patience and clear boundaries to learn what is and is not suitable for her to chomp. Like all puppies, she will need guidance to learn proper house breaking and patience as she adjusts to new routines. 

If you think Sangria sounds like the perfect fit for you, ask to meet her today!
