Jetta is an amazing puppy who already knows many commands and is very respectful of other dogs (large and small). Jetta knows how to sit, down, no, come, leave it and her name. She walks well on leash, but may pull at times when she gets excited. She is not food aggressive, and will leave it if other dogs should get the food/treat. She is extremely bright and is very quick and eager to learn new things. She has potential to be a great sporting dog based on her being very fast and her ability to learn quickly.
Jetta is very affectionate and loves to snuggle but is also very good at laying on her own and minding her business while her humans go about their activities. She loves to play tug, fetch and loves to run around so she can stretch her legs.

Life for Fallon took a sudden turn when she found herself at an overcrowded shelter in the south. Although she couldn't understand why so many people seemed concerned about her finding something called a home, she knew that the word family kept coming up. She heard the word family a lot, but no one came forward to welcome Fallon into their home. Fortunately, staff members at the shelter recognized that overcrowding might lead to euthanization. So, they began working diligently to help Fallon find rescue placement before it was too late. When contacted to see if we could welcome Fallon into the MAGSR family, our team knew that we needed to help. As Fallon joined the family, we made a promise that when the right match stepped forward, we would make sure she would be part of an incredible family.
Fallon is a lovely, energetic, and intelligent girl. She has some good drive and prefers a calm and confident handler. She will likely meet with greatest success in an experienced household that can provide clear leadership and boundaries. When Fallon is placed in an environment with a set structure, routine, and expectations, she thrives. Although Fallon arrived without much in the way of manners, she is a quick study and is picking up new skills. Training will go a long way with this lovely lady. Not only will training help Fallon create a healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Although we see a lot of potential in Fallon's future, we do not have any information about her past. She is moving forward with a clean slate. We are giving her every opportunity to learn about the world around her and lay the groundwork for success with her family. If this smart, athletic, and driven girl sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

Beautiful Brandi was picked up as a stray with her mate, Boscoe. These two incredible dogs had clearly been through some difficult times. Recognizing that these special pups would be most successful if they decompressed in foster homes, another rescue arranged for them to stay in foster families while they waited out their stray hold. Both dogs were placed in loving foster homes with other dogs. When their stray hold had ended and they had had some time to decompress, we were asked if we could welcome both dogs into the rescue. Really, who could say no to such a lovely pair of dogs?
Brandi is a lovely girl. She arrived with wounds on her shoulders and underweight. Her foster family worked hard to get Brandi healed and healthy. Although we do not know anything about Brandi's past, it does appear that she was mishandled at some point. As a result, she can be timid and fearful with new people, particularly with men. A slow approach and some tasty treats go a long way with Brandi. She does warm up with a calm, confident, and patient handler. Brandi is looking for a forever family that will give her the opportunity to slowly adjust to the household. Providing Brandi with clear structure, routine, and guidance will be key to her success. When ready, Brandi will benefit greatly from training. Training will help Brandi build a strong, healthy bond with her forever family; it will also help her develop the stability and confidence needed to navigate her world. While living with her foster family in the south, Brandi did begin to develop her socialization skills. She also has learned the joys of living in a safe and loving home. At this time Brandi is housebroken and crate trained. However, she will likely need to fine tune her skills once she finds her forever home.
Unfortunately, Brandi is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided had Brandi been provided with monthly heartworm preventatives. Although treatment is very expensive, this active little girl is beyond worth the cost. Brandi's entire heartworm treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Donations toward her care are greatly appreciated as this will help us not only help this lovely girl get all of the care that she needs, but it will also help us continue to support medical dogs in need. Brandi will need to take it easy over the next few months while she completes her treatment. However, this will give her time to adjust to her forever family. If Brandi sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today.

The fashion puppies found themselves surrendered to an overcrowded shelter as their owner felt they had too many animals. Although clearly social and interactive, a shelter is not a safe place for puppies as they do not have the immune system in place to help them fight off disease. In addition, living in a crowded and stressful environment is not conducive to healthy development. Recognizing that these babies needed to move forward safely, MAGSR stepped forward and welcomed this sweet set of babies to the rescue.
The fashion puppies - Louis V, Prada, Dior, and Chanel - are ready to find their forever families. These babies are social, interactive, and energetic. They are the perfect mix of fun. Chanel is dainty but curious about the world. She can be a little reserved in new situations and will be looking for a calm and confident leader. Having lived in an amazing foster home, these babies have begun learning the ins and outs of living in a household. They, like all GSDs, crave structure, leadership, and consistency. Their foster family has worked hard to put this set-up into place. However, it is very important that their forever family continue this process. It is also essential that their forever family continue to provide these babies with socialization in varied environments with varied people and animals. This will help them meet with success.
Although these babies are beyond adorable, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, routine, and training, we know that all of the Fashion puppies will meet with success. If lovely Chanel sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this little honey today!

History: Owner Surrender
The Fairy Sisters - Fern, Merriweather, and Tink - were part of a surprise litter. Although most of their littermates found loving homes, these lovely little ladies were not as lucky. Recognizing that puppies are adorable, but a lot of work, their family decided to surrender them to a shelter. However, this proved to be a dangerous option for these babies. With shelters significantly overcapacity, owner surrenders are often immediately euthanized. In an attempt to save the lives of all three pups, the shelter contacted MAGSR to redirect the Fairy Sisters into our care. Fortunately, our team was able to find incredible foster homes for all three girls. We promised we would find the Fairy Sisters families that would love and cherish them for a lifetime.
Having moved into loving foster families, all three girls are learning the ins and outs of living in a household. Clearly socialized, Merriweather enthusiastically approaches new people, happily accepts food and treats, and loves a good snuggle. Continued opportunities to socialize with new people and new situations will be critical to Merriweather's success. Smart and quick to pick-up new tricks, the girls are beginning some basic training but they also have plenty of opportunities to play. Recognizing that toys should be a vital part of every household, the Fairy Sisters love toys and are hoping their forever families do too. As these girls continue to move forward, they will benefit from continued work and patience with basic commands and leash manners. With so many new expectations, each of the Fairy Sisters will need time to learn the rules, expectations, and routines of their new homes.
Although these girls are beyond lovely, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, and patience, Merriweather and her sisters will develop into good canine citizens. If you are looking for a new family member that loves new opportunities, playtime, and endless snuggles, ask to meet Merriweather today!

The fashion puppies - Gucci, Louis V, Prada, Dior, and Chanel - are ready to find their forever families. These babies are social, interactive, and energetic. They are the perfect mix of fun. Gucci was surrendered to the shelter with her siblings. When MAGSR originally committed to the family, Gucci has been pre-adopted by a family. As a result, we were able to welcome the remaining four siblings and wished Gucci the best with her new family. However, as is MAGSR policy, we did inform the shelter that if the adoption fell through, we would provide Gucci with a place in the MAGSR family. The remaining four puppies joined the MAGSR family and Gucci left with her new family. As luck would have it, a week into the adoption, the family decided they no longer wanted Gucci and wanted to return her immediately. Knowing that we would honor our commitment to this girl, staff members at the shelter contacted our team immediately and Gucci was redirected to MAGSR. We promised Gucci that we would find her the perfect family that would commit to her for a lifetime.
Gucci is a playful, interactive, and goofy pup. She has had a lot of changes in the last few weeks but is adjusting to everything in a graceful manner. Having lived in a home for a short while, she has had some exposure to living in a home. However, we do not have any information from her previous family. Gucci like all GSDs, craves structure, leadership, and consistency. It is critical that her forever family puts this set-up into place. It is also essential that her forever family continues to provide Gucci with socialization in varied environments with varied people and animals. This will help her meet with success.

The name Errol is a Scottish surname that can be associated with prominent Scottish aristocrats, however, that couldn’t be further from the case for poor Errol, or The Duke of Errol as we call him. He was confiscated from his previous owners as he was not only neglected, but abused. Yet, The Duke of Errol has the sweetest demeanor and is happy to have been rescued by MAGSR. The Duke of Errol is currently around the 60 lb mark, is missing some hair due to neglect, and is hoping to find a loving family to help him live up to his name, an aristocrat of not only your household, but more importantly, your heart!
As we are getting to know The Duke of Errol, we have learned he is incredibly sweet to everyone he meets and is likely good with kids and other dogs. The Duke of Errol would benefit from a family/person who is willing to designate some time to helping him learn the ropes and become the best GSD he can be while he recovers from his horrible past. As is true with all dogs, he would absolutely thrive in a home where his family is either familiar with German Shepherds or is eager to learn about the temperament of the breed while providing the essentials - training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance.
If The Duke of Errol sounds like he would be the right fit for you/your family, please arrange for a proper introduction! The ‘Duke” will need some time to decompress given the abuse and neglect he survived prior to arriving at MAGSR. Ask to meet The Duke of Errol today!

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

As it was clear this boy was hungry, cold, and scared, the finder contacted an area shelter that came and picked up this sweet guy. Although Hunter was heading indoors with food, shelter, and medical care available, he was also heading into an overcapacity shelter whose facility simply cannot accommodate the endless number of homeless animals entering it on a daily basis. Unfortunately, this is the reality of many shelters throughout the country.

Quetta and Kai were surrendered to a local shelter when their family could no longer care for them. Although they were clearly loved, these two were, understandably, a little lost finding themselves at a crowded shelter rather than at home. Recognizing that this pair deserved a forever family that would keep them together for a lifetime, shelter staff sent out a plea for rescue help. Having worked with several sets of bonded pairs over the years, our team recognizes the importance of keeping family together. We know that when given the chance to find the right match, these two will find an amazing family. It is our honor to welcome them to the MAGSR family.
As Kai and Quetta are a bonded pair, they are looking for an incredible forever family that has room in their hearts for two. They are quite the complementary pair. Kai is the pushy goofball. He likes to make a game of everything and always wants to be part of any interaction. As a young guy, he has some good energy and is hoping his forever family enjoys adventures and plenty of playtime. Quetta is your sweet and affectionate velcro dog. She likes to know where her people are at all times and is beyond happy to snuggle up for extra chin scratches. Quetta tends to bring the calming aspect to the pair. Playful and well-matched together, these two definitely enjoy their daily play sessions. They understand the joy of toys and hope their forever family has plenty of them. When playtime is done, Quetta and Kai love to settle down and relax near their people. Although they love their people, Kai and Quetta love each other as well. They prefer to remain close together and tend to stress when separated.
Typical of the breed, this pair bonds strongly and quickly to their people. It is key that their forever family work with them to create a strong and healthy bond. Training will be critical to their success. Not only will training help both Kai and Quetta develop a healthy relationship with their family, but it will also help them develop into good canine citizens. Food motivated and incredibly gentle with treats, this pair will be the top of their class. Having clearly lived in a home, Quetta and Kai are housebroken and crate trained. They seem to understand many of the ins and outs of living in a household. Although they have many of the foundational skills needed to meet with success, they, like any new family member, will need time to adjust to their forever family. The opportunity to adjust will help everyone meet with success. Quetta and Kai are a special pair that is looking for an adoring family that will love them for a lifetime. If they sound like the right match for your household, please ask to meet them today!

Sweet Maya came to MAGSR after she was confiscated from a cruelty and neglect case. Maya and her brother were severely neglected and malnourished, only being fed a small portion of a chicken thigh a week. Unfortunately, her brother succumbed to malnourishment before we could save him.
Since we’ve had Maya in our care, we are still learning about her, but do know beyond her shyness, she is very sweet. Obviously given what she experienced, she will need time to decompress, learn to trust people and realize she is safe. Maya is thought to be between 1-2 years and will need training.
An ideal family or companion for Maya will need to be understanding, patient and willing to give her the space and time, given what she went through, but also won’t be afraid to set and reinforce boundaries. She will need to learn how to be a dog, how to play and build her confidence. Sweet Maya will need basic training, consistency, and routine to help her continue on this journey.
We believe that in the right environment, Maya will continue to come out of her shell once she is given an opportunity to fully decompress and understand that she is finally safe, not just short term, but for the rest of her life.
If sweet Maya sounds like your ideal ‘FURever’ companion, please consider adopting her!

The Kentucky Six - Diego, Champ, Serena, Peanut, Evie, and Yogi - are cruelty and neglect survivors. Living in inhumane conditions, starved, and used as breeding stock, the Kentucky Six managed to make it off the property alive when the right people heard about their conditions and got the authorities involved. All six dogs were confiscated and brought to a shelter where they waited for the chance to find kind and loving families of their very own. Although shelter staff worked hard to make sure that all six dogs began getting the care and attention they deserved, they recognized that with shelters at capacity and adoptions limited, these six precious souls may not have the chance to find their forever families. They began working with local groups and started networking the dogs in hopes that rescue placement would be found. Fortunately, their message made its way to MAGSR. Our incredible team knew that this group of dogs was very special, so we began putting plans in place to welcome the Kentucky Six to the MAGSR family.
Although Champ's life was filled with challenges and suffering prior to his confiscation, he still wants to connect with his people. Very intelligent and appreciative of a calm and confident handler, Champ does well when given a chance to build trust with his people. Having been starved, Champ is still learning that regular meals and kindness are part of his daily routine. Although he needs a little time to adjust, Champ is already making significant strides. He is an incredible example of resilience in the wake of so much pain. As is true of all shepherds, Champ will thrive when provided with structure, routine, and leadership. In many ways he is still in the beginning stages of his new life. He will need time to adjust to new people, environments, and expectations. However, given patience and opportunities to learn, we are sure that Champ will continue to discover the joys of being a beloved member of a family. We do not know if Champ has had much experience living in a household. Clear rules and boundaries will help him settle into his new home. Training will also go a long way for this boy. Not only will training help Champ develop a strong, healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him become a good canine citizen. Champ is looking for a forever family that will cherish him for a lifetime and show him the kindness he missed out on for so many years.

Stunning Sophie is a victim of cruelty and neglect. Fortunately, word got out about her situation and animal control confiscated her from her owners. Arriving at a shelter with a large wound on her back, hair missing in spots, limited fat and muscle on her body, and an overall poor body condition, shelter staff knew this girl needed a lot of support. They got right to work making sure she had what she needed and were impressed by how sweet and even tempered she appeared. Although staff members were doing everything they could to help Sophie heal, with an overwhelming number of dogs arriving at the shelter on a daily basis they knew she was living on borrowed time. As the days passed and no one stepped forward to welcome Sophie into their home, staff began to worry that Sophie wouldn't make it out alive. A plea for help went out. When we learned about Sophie's story, team MAGSR knew this lovely girl deserved the opportunity to find her forever family.
Sophie is intelligent, energetic, and ready to move forward. She craves leadership and direction. As is true of all young shepherds, Sophie will thrive when provided with structure and routine. Excited to learn, Sophie is already picking up some basic commands and is definitely motivated by treats. Due to her past, we do not know if Sophie understands the ins and outs of living in a household. However, we know she is beyond ready to enjoy the comforts and routines of a loving home. As she moves forward, Sophie will benefit from training. Not only will training help Sophie bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen.
Unfortunately, we have learned that Sophie is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided with a monthly heartworm preventative. Sophie's treatment has just begun and, unsurprisingly, she is handling everything well. Although heartworm treatment is very expensive, we know that this special girl is more than worth the cost. MAGSR will cover the entirety of Sophie's heartworm treatment. Please consider donating to Sophie's care as it will not only help us provide the funding needed to support Sophie, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs. Sophie will need to take it slow over the next few months while she heals. However, this will give her time to adjust to her forever home.

A river is a natural flow of water that provides nourishment to many things along the way. Much like a river, our latest addition to the MAGSR family, River, is sure to be a nourishment of love and snuggles to his furever family. The story of River is one of rapid change; he found himself in unfamiliar territory as an owner-surrender to animal control, and moments before he was scheduled to be euthanized, MAGSR swooped in and saved River from ‘drying up’.
We are still getting to know him, but his foster family reports that he is a near perfect boy! We believe River to be between 1-2 years old and has done an amazing job transitioning from his previous life to his new environment. River is housebroken and doesn’t appear to have issues with being put in the crate, including overnight. So far, River has been properly introduced to the resident dogs and cats, and hasn’t had issues. If he does find himself with a family that has cats, it’s best for those cats to be more on the ‘dog-savvy’ side, as Mr. River is quite curious!
River is eager to please his humans, but will need to be trained and given the opportunity to show he can be a well mannered boy. He will thrive in a home and environment where he will be provided the basic necessities - training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance.
If River sounds like the happy hours, days and weeks you would like to emBARK upon, please ask to add him to your family today!
