Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Bowden is an impressive guy. Confident, intelligent, and charismatic, he has a fun personality and enjoys his people. Bowden's family absolutely adored him and did everything they could to ensure he met with success. They put time and energy into extensive training, daily interactions, and endless opportunities to learn about the world around him. As a result, Bowden understands the importance of a pack and the power of unconditional love. Although his family committed to Bowden when they adopted him, sometimes circumstances change and the best decision is to say goodbye. This choice is never easy; it is one of the most difficult decisions families make. However, when this decision was made, we promised that we would care for Bowden as his family had for the many years he lived with them. 

Having lived in a home, Bowden understands many of the ins and outs of living in a household. He is housebroken, crate trained, and obedience trained. Knowing many commands, Bowden likes to work and keep his mind busy. Although he clearly understands rules and expectations, Bowden, like many dogs, likes to push the envelope sometimes to ensure that the handler will follow through. As an alpha male, he does best with an experienced handler that will provide clear rules, boundaries, and expectations for both work and play. Responsive to the energy of the handler, Bowden prefers a calm and confident hand. Well versed with games such as tug and fetch, Bowden enjoys his playtime. A little less focused upon play than he was in his younger years, Bowden is happy to hang with his people once play time is finished. Senior dogs are special, they come with endless loyalty, the knowledge of expectations in the home, and the ability to take it slow some days. Bowden is looking for that magical match that will love him throughout his golden years. If this handsome guy is the right match for your family, ask to meet him today!

Happy and her baby, Huck, were dumped at a small rural shelter. Although they were both shocked to be surrounded by so many stressed animals, it was highly apparent that this stunning pair had been socialized by someone along their journey. They are both friendly and affectionate. However, too skinny and very dirty, both dogs were in need of some good nutrition, a warm bath, and a safe place to move forward. With shelters and rescues sitting at or above capacity right now, the minute they arrived Happy and Huck were in danger. Shelter staff adored the pair, but due to space issues, they knew that a rescue placement was necessary to ensure that both moved forward safely. When a rescue plea went out, we knew that Happy and Huck deserved the safety and security of the MAGSR family. 

Happy is a delightful little lady. Intelligent, snuggly, and your typical velcro dog. This girl loves being with her people and makes an incredible companion. Clearly socialized prior to her arrival, Happy loves her people but can be a little unsure until she knows you are safe. Good with children, Happy seems to understand the sounds and movements of littles. She is careful, affectionate, and watchful around them. Having lived with puppies, Happy has done well with other dogs. However, as is true of many dogs, she will set boundaries. Although we do not know much about her past, it is highly evident that Happy has been in a home. She understands many of the routines and expectations of living in a home. Happy is housebroken and crate trained. Typical of the breed, she thrives with structure, routine, and leadership. Training will go a long way with Happy. Very food motivated, this lady will quickly rise to the top of the class. Training will not only help Happy create a strong, healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Unfortunately, we have learned that Happy is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided with monthly preventatives. Recognizing that treatment is needed to move forward, MAGSR has already begun this process. Happy will need to take it easy over the next few months as her body clears the worms. Heartworm treatment is expensive, but we know Happy is beyond worth the cost. Please consider donating to Happy's care so that she can continue to move forward with the medical care needed to meet with success. Happy is looking for a special forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. If this adorable lady sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

Theo has moved around quite a bit in his short life. This handsome little dude was initially picked up as a stray and brought to an animal shelter. Although he waited patiently for his family to arrive, no one stepped forward to claim him. Having clearly been socialized prior to his arrival, shelter staff believed that this little honey would easily find his way home. However, with shelter numbers significantly over capacity, Theo was running out of time and was placed on the list to be euthanized for space. Recognizing that Theo may not make it out alive, another group pulled him hoping to help him find his way home. Although this saved Theo's life, the group that pulled him had over-committed to too many animals and found themselves in a hoarding situation. Sometimes our desire to help is so great that we forget the amount of time and resources needed to adequately care for each life we are responsible for. This situation was not planned nor was it something that the other group intended to do. However, when this situation was discovered the dogs were confiscated. At risk of being placed right back at the shelter, another group stepped in to help redirect Theo into MAGSR's care. 

Theo is a very friendly guy. He adores people and wants to be friends with absolutely everyone. Having lived on a property with a large pack of dogs, Theo has done well with other dogs but still enjoys proper introductions. An active guy, Theo is looking for a family that will take him with them on his adventures. He will benefit from daily exercise of both his body and his mind. This will help Theo maintain a stable personality. As is true of all shepherds, Theo will thrive with routine, structure, and leadership. Training is essential to his success. Not only will training help Theo build a strong, healthy relationship with his forever family, it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Theo is looking for a loving household that will commit to him for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

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!

Exceptional Elsa was absolutely adored by her family. They welcomed her to their home as a young pup and had hoped to spend a lifetime with her. Unfortunately, circumstances do not always work out as we plan. When it became clear that Elsa would need to be rehomed, her family searched for an incredible match for their girl. As they searched, it became clear that Elsa would be most successful if placed through a breed specific rescue. This would ensure that she would be placed in a safe, loving, and knowledgeable home where she would thrive. Saying goodbye is never an easy decision, but Elsa's family knew we would ensure she found the perfect forever family. 

Elsa is a young, beautiful, and active girl. Quick witted and a good read of the handler, Elsa's intelligence is one of her many incredible qualities. Still very young, Elsa has boundless shepherd energy. It is key that her family work with her daily exercising both her body and her mind. She will also benefit from continued socialization with new people and in different environments. These activities are critical to her success as they will help her develop into a stable and confident adult dog. Food motivated and excited to learn, Elsa picks up new skills quickly and is ready to begin basic obedience. Our handlers have already begun working with her to develop leash manners and a few commands. As she moves forward, Elsa is looking forward to training with her forever family. Not only will training help Elsa create a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Elsa has had the good fortune to have grown up in a loving household. She understands the joys of dog beds, treats, and living in the home. She is already housebroken and crate trained! Although she has an incredible foundation, Elsa will need time and patience when adjusting to her new family. Clear rules, expectations, and boundaries will help her meet with success. Typical of the breed, Elsa can be protective of her home and her people. It is important that her forever family set her up for success with decompression time, structure, and leadership. Elsa loves a calm, confident leader. If this amazing girl sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

The Nemo Litter was born under a trailer about ten weeks ago. Fortunately, they were noticed by community members and were monitored carefully. As their mom wasn't comfortable with people, steps were being taken to try to help the entire family, but moving forward required time and patience. Unfortunately, soon after the Nemo babies began crawling around, mom spooked, left, and didn’t return. Recognizing the nine babies in the Nemo litter (Coral, Bubbles, Crush, Dory, Marlin, Nemo, Nigel, Squirt, and Pearl) needed help, community members stepped up to ensure they were cared for and loved. As they got older, the rescue sponsoring them began looking for a breed specific rescue to welcome the Nemo litter and find them all amazing forever families. MAGSR stepped forward to welcome the entire litter into our care. 

Our team was preparing to move the babies into foster homes when it was noticed that something was not right with several members of the litter. They had suddenly become weak, were struggling to keep food down, began experiencing gastrointestinal issues, and clearly needed help. Our team immediately rushed the babies to the emergency room. Tests were administered and it was determined that the Nemo litter was positive for parvo. Parvo is a highly contagious virus; it is particularly challenging for puppies to survive. One of our amazing vetting partners stepped into action and began working with the Nemo litter to keep them hydrated, control their GI upset, and prevent secondary infections, while also keeping them monitored and loved. Parvo care is very expensive. But, we knew these little lives were special and deserved every chance to fight this diagnosis. We have been incredibly lucky to have so many people step forward to support these babies. This has given us the opportunity to provide critical care; however, donations are still needed. Please consider donating to the Nemo litter so that we can continue to welcome dogs with medical needs. 

Although MAGSR fought hard to save the lives of all nine puppies, two members of this litter, Bubbles and Pearl, lost their fight and crossed the rainbow bridge the weekend they arrived. Their siblings have mourned this loss while comforted by our amazing MAGSR volunteers. Although Pearl and Bubbles have left lasting memories that will always be part of this litter's story, the Nemo litter is taking significant steps so that they can continue to move forward. As they heal under the watchful eyes of their foster families, these babies are hoping that forever families are waiting in the wings for them. Once symptoms have ended and ten days have passed, the Nemo puppies will be ready to join their forever families. Marlin is waiting patiently for that special day when his family welcomes him into their home and gives him a last name. If your family is ready to welcome this handsome little guy into your home, ask to set up a meeting with Marlin today! 

Star and her sister, Noel, were born into a loving household. They lived there happily with another member of their family. Although the girls were cherished, when an unexpected circumstance arose, Star and Noel needed to be rehomed. This was a devastating decision for their family. Hoping they could find them a home on their own, they exhausted resource after resource trying to find an option for the girls. With a system overloaded with dogs and the need to find safe options for both girls, their family had almost given up hope. With one last try, they turned to MAGSR. Recognizing these girls were something special, our team came together to ensure that Star and Noel could move forward safely in the MAGSR family.

Star and Noel are stunning girls. Both a little unsure with new people and in new situations, they need a little time to adjust. When given time, patience, and a safe surrounding, the girls warm up to new people nicely. Having lived with an older child, the Star and Noel would likely do well with calm and respectful children.Noel can be submissive but is filled to the brim with sweetness. Once comfortable, Noel breaks out of her shell and simply shines with joy. An absolute cuddler at heart, this lovely lady is beyond happy to share her joy with her people. She is always up for a little extra love and a good butt scratch. Training is critical to Noel's success. Not only will training help Noel develop a healthy bond with her forever family, it will also help her build the confidence needed to become a good canine citizen. Having lived in a loving home, Noel understands many of the ins and outs of living in a household. She, like her sister, is crate trained and housebroken. However, as is true of all GSDs, she will need time to adjust to the rules and expectations of her forever family. Noel is looking for a forever family that will embrace her loving spirit for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet Noel today!

Many things get better with age-cheese, wine, cowboy boots and Esme! She’s not going to hike the Appalachian Trail with you, but she would love to go for a walk in the morning and then come back and sit by your side while you have a second cup of coffee. Or if walking is not your thing, Esme is happy to take a spin around the backyard then keep you company for the day. With those big, beautiful ears, Esme is a great listener and will even give you a head tilt or two if your conversations with her involve a treat. An amazing companion, Esme is looking for a family that enjoys a good cuddle and an easy-going lifestyle. 

Found as a stray in the area, Esme was taken to the local shelter where she waited for her family to come and claim her. Although this girl impressed shelter staff with her friendly demeanor, when no one stepped forward to claim her, everyone got a little worried. Like so many shelters these days, the shelter that welcomed Esme into their care was over capacity. Although they try to do everything they can to find placements in adoptive and foster homes, or in rescues, senior dogs at a crowded shelter are always at risk. Fortunately, a plea was put out to rescues in the area, with an incredible foster ready to open her home to Esme, MAGSR happily welcomed her to the family. Fosters make such a difference in our ability to save lives. We are so excited that Esme is in a safe and loving home. 

At this time, Esme is settling into her foster family. She has done well with the resident dogs and is curious about the cat. As is true of all dogs, Esme craves structure, routine, and leadership. She may not need to spend her days chasing a ball for hours, but she does enjoy some play time, plenty of snuggles, and a good nap. Adjusting well to the household, it seems that Esme already knows many of the ins and outs of living indoors. Although she is making significant strides, her forever family will need to be patient as she makes one final adjustment to the routines and expectations of her forever family. True of all dogs, Esme will thrive with training. Not only will training help Esme create a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Esme is looking for an amazing family that will cherish her throughout her golden years. If you are looking for a great companion, look no further than Esme. 

Handsome Venvi was picked up as a stray. When brought to animal services, it was clear that he had been through some trauma. Non-weight bearing on one of his legs, too skinny, and needing a little extra TLC, shelter staff began working together to ensure that Venvi was safe and comfortable. They began working with a local vet who assessed Venvi's injury. It was determined that Venvi had a soft tissue injury that would heal with time, pain medication, and rest. With his medical needs being addressed, Venvi waited patiently for his family to come and claim him. Staff members were shocked when no one stepped forward. As shelters remain at critical capacity, once stray holds have been completed, many animals are placed on lists to be euthanized as there are simply not enough spaces for the number of dogs in need. Venvi, like so many others, was placed on this list. Fortunately, an incredible group of people began advocating for this guy. When word reached MAGSR, he had just hours left. With the help of an incredible foster, amazing transporters, and another rescue, we were able to welcome Venvi to the MAGSR family. 

Venvi is a social, affectionate, and energetic guy. This big goofball is all about filling his days with joy. Having recovered from his injury, he is ready to live life to the fullest. Venvi is looking for an active family that will exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. This will help him maintain a balanced and stable personality. Training will be critical to Venvi's success. Not only will it help him create a healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the essential skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Venvi, like all dogs, will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. He is lucky to have an amazing foster family that is teaching him the ins and outs of living in a household. Although Venvi is learning about living in a home, he will need time to adjust to the expectations and routines of his forever family. Venvi cannot wait to finally settle down with a family of his very own. If this happy guy sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today.

Coral is waiting patiently for that special day when her family welcomes her into their home and gives her a last name. If your family is ready to welcome this special little girl into your home, ask to set up a meeting with Coral today! 

Misty and her buddy, Rocky, were adopted from MAGSR a few years ago by an amazing family. They were cherished beyond words and have known the power of love. Sometimes life throws a curveball and things change in an instant. When an unexpected circumstance arose, their family knew that Rocky and Misty needed a safe place to land. So, they contacted MAGSR. Knowing these dogs were lucky to have an incredible family that would do anything for them including giving them up, we immediately welcomed both Misty and Rocky back to the MAGSR family. 

Misty is a sweet, sensitive, smart girl. Social, active, and always ready for an adventure, this girl lives for daily playtime and activities. Built to play, she is beyond happy to chase after a ball or leap in the air to catch a frisbee. An intelligent lady, Misty tends to match her energy to the energy of the handler. She thrives with a calm and confident handler who provides clear direction. Somewhat unsure in new situations, Misty does need some time to adjust to new people. However, as is true with many dogs, when given a chance to warm-up, Misty is friendly and responsive. Having lived in a phenomenal home, Misty understands the joy of a soft bed, daily playtime, and plenty of toys. Crate trained, housebroken, and comfortable with the hustle and bustle of daily household living, this lovely lady understands the expectations of living in a home. However, as is true of any new dog, Misty will need time and patience to successfully adjust to the expectations, rules, and routines of her new family. With some training already in line, Misty knows several commands. She enjoys daily adventures and hopes her new family does too. Although she has some training already, Misty will benefit from additional training with her new family. Not only will training help Misty build a strong and healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Stunning Misty is looking for a forever family that loves to throw a ball, toss a frisbee, and provide daily cuddles. If your family is looking for a girl with endless loyalty and fun, look no further than Misty!

Diesel and his buddy, Vader, were adored by their family. Unfortunately, due to an unexpected circumstance, their family was not able to continue to keep the boys and had no choice but to rehome them. Saying goodbye is never an easy decision. We knew this was not in the plans for the boys. However, sometimes things happen that are beyond our control. Knowing that Vader and Diesel were incredible boys that deserved to find loving forever families, their family turned to MAGSR for help. We knew Vader and Diesel had been raised by an incredible family that wanted to ensure that they would be safe and loved. We promised to find both boys amazing forever families that would love them for a lifetime. 

Diesel is an absolute sweetheart. As an intelligent, stable, and active guy, he is looking for a forever family that will provide him with daily opportunities to exercise both his body and his mind. Having lived with the same family his entire life, Diesel has had the opportunity to develop a strong foundation of social skills. He enjoys handshakes and will, if allowed, give hugs. With some significant changes in his life recently, Diesel has maintained his confident nature. However, it is critical that his forever family provides him with structure, routine, and leadership so that he adjusts appropriately to his forever family. Household expectations are not new to Diesel. He is already housebroken and crate trained. However, as is true of any new dog, he will need time to adjust to the routines and expectations of his new home. Training will be critical to his success. Not only will training help Diesel create a healthy bond with his family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Diesel is hoping to find a forever family that will provide him with adventures, plenty of neck rubs, and endless opportunities to meet with success. If Diesel sounds like the right match for your household, 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. Abu is a little ball of joyful puppy energy. Interactive, curious, and ready for an adventure, Abu can't wait to explore everything in his environment. A toy aficionado, Abu, like his sisters, loves all things, rolly, squeaky, and crunchy. He is hoping his forever family has plenty of toys to keep him occupied for hours. Living in a foster home with other dogs and having already been exposed to cats, Abu is lucky to be gaining experiences with a variety of other creatures. As the little guy moves forward it is critical that his forever family continues to provide Abu with opportunities to socialize with new people, other animals, and in new environments. This will help Abu develop into a stable and confident adult dog. Although Abu is a charmer, 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, training, patience, and socialization, we are sure that Abu will develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to be. If Abu sounds like the right match for your family, put in your application today! The "A Litter" puppies will be available for adoption as of May 1st.

Rahja was absolutely adored by her family, particularly the little boy in her life. Unfortunately, when circumstances changed in the household, her family was forced to make the difficult decision to find Rahja a new home. This is never an easy decision. However, sometimes loving your dog means knowing when to ask for help. Our team knew that Rahja was special the moment they met her. We knew that saying goodbye was very difficult for her family and promised to find her an incredible forever family. 

Rahja is a stunning, intelligent, and social girl. She is responsive to the handler and has some basic commands already in place. A shepherd in every way, Rahja is focused, observant, and quick to pick-up on varied handling styles. As is true of many shepherds, she is eager to please. Thriving with leadership and clear expectations, Rahja gravitates toward a calm and confident handler. With some clear prey drive in place, this girl is looking for a forever family without cats or small pets. This will help her meet with success. Somewhat anxious in new situations or with new people, Rahja is looking for a household that will provide her with the time and patience needed to adjust to her new home. Although she already knows some commands, Rahja is looking forward to attending training with her forever family. Not only will training help Rahja develop a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her gain the confidence needed to become a good canine citizen. Having previously lived in a home, Rahja is crate trained and housebroken. She understands many of the ins and outs of family living. However, as is true of all new dogs, Rahja will need time to learn the rules, routines, and expectations of her forever family.

Rahja is looking for an active family that will take her on their adventures, give her plenty of play time, and snuggle up for cuddles every day. If you are looking for an intelligent, playful, and affectionate girl, look no further than Rahja.

Vader is an active goofball. He loves toys and is hoping that his forever family does too. Having lived with the same family his entire life, Vader is friendly with new people, but can be a little hesitant. As a young guy, he is still building confidence and learning to look to the handler for direction. Vader is most comfortable with a calm, confident, and clear handler that will provide him with the leadership he needs to meet with success. Having lived in a home, Vader is housebroken and crate trained. However, as is true of any new dog, he will need time to adjust to the routines and expectations of his forever family.

The Nemo Litter was born under a trailer about ten weeks ago. Fortunately, they were noticed by community members and were monitored carefully. As their mom wasn't comfortable with people, steps were being taken to try to help the entire family, but moving forward required time and patience. Unfortunately, soon after the Nemo babies began crawling around, mom spooked, left, and didn’t return. Recognizing the nine babies in the Nemo litter (Coral, Bubbles, Crush, Dory, Marlin, Nemo, Nigel, Squirt, and Pearl) needed help, community members stepped up to ensure they were cared for and loved.

Our team was preparing to move the babies into foster homes when it was noticed that something was not right with several members of the litter. They had suddenly become weak, were struggling to keep food down, began experiencing gastrointestinal issues, and clearly needed help. Our team immediately rushed the babies to the emergency room. Tests were administered and it was determined that the Nemo litter was positive for parvo. Parvo is a highly contagious virus; it is particularly challenging for puppies to survive. One of our amazing vetting partners stepped into action and began working with the Nemo litter to keep them hydrated, control their GI upset, and prevent secondary infections, while also keeping them monitored and loved. Parvo care is very expensive. But, we knew these little lives were special and deserved every chance to fight this diagnosis. We have been incredibly lucky to have so many people step forward to support these babies. This has given us the opportunity to provide critical care; however, donations are still needed. Please consider donating to the Nemo litter so that we can continue to welcome dogs with medical needs. 

Although MAGSR fought hard to save the lives of all nine puppies, two members of this litter, Bubbles and Pearl, lost their fight and crossed the rainbow bridge the weekend they arrived. Their siblings have mourned this loss while comforted by our amazing MAGSR volunteers. Although Pearl and Bubbles have left lasting memories that will always be part of this litter's story, the Nemo litter is taking significant steps so that they can continue to move forward. As they heal under the watchful eyes of their foster families, these babies are hoping that forever families are waiting in the wings for them. Once symptoms have ended and ten days have passed, the Nemo puppies will be ready to join their forever families. Nigel is waiting patiently for that special day when his family welcomes him into their home and gives him a last name. If your family is ready to welcome this special little guy into your home, ask to set up a meeting with Nigel today! 

Sweet Marmaduke is a little fighter. Having wandered up to a home with his brother the puppies were sick, filled with worms, underfed, dirty, and in need of help. Luckily the boys wandered up to the right home as the owners immediately contacted their local animal services so they could work together to get the boys everything they needed. Although appointments were put into place and rescuers were contacted for help, Marmaduke's brother passed away during the night on their second night. Recognizing that the boys were sicker than anyone realized, Marmaduke was rushed to the vet. Although everyone was hoping their worst fears were not true, unfortunately, Marmaduke popped positive for parvovirus. This disease is preventable with proper vaccinations. However, once it sets in it can take many lives. Having lost his brother and weak from everything the two had endured, we were not sure if Marmaduke would have the strength to fight. However, we also knew this little guy deserved every chance make a full recovery. So, MAGSR began working with the local shelter, a local foster, and an incredible veterinary team to ensure that Marmaduke was provided with everything he needed. As is true of many dogs suffering from parvo, Marmaduke did need to be admitted for round-the-clock care. 

Fortunately, our little fighter clearly wants to survive and has done well with the support provided. He has been released from the hospital and one of our amazing foster families has welcomed him into their home. Although this is a huge step, Marmaduke is still being monitored very closely and is receiving daily medical support. We are hoping that he continues to rest and recover so that when he is ready, this sweet and affectionate guy will find a forever family that will cherish him for a lifetime. As is true of all parvo puppies, Marmaduke's care is expensive. However, MAGSR knows that he is worth every penny. Please consider donating to Marmaduke's medical needs. Not only will this help us continue to meet his needs, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs who would not have survived without extensive medical intervention. 

Marmaduke is a special guy who has already survived more than he should have at such a young age. Our entire team is hoping he keeps fighting so that, when he is ready, he can live out his life with an incredible forever family.

'Dashing Deacon’ was found prancing along the streets as a stray. Deacon is a devilishly handsome (possible SuperModel status) fella who is a two-and-a-half-year-old stunner of a long-haired black and red GSD looking for his ‘fur-ever’ family. Over time we have had the chance to get to know Deacon. With this knowledge has come a strong understanding of just how clever this boy is (and how much of a natural leader he is!). As a result, Deacon will only be placed with an experienced and assertive handler to help him become a strong, confident, and obedient companion. This striking boy has a strong personality and appreciates clear guidance from his people. Though he can be willful when he knows what he wants, Deacon is ready to channel his charm into becoming a model canine citizen. Already equipped with a solid training foundation, Deacon is looking for someone who will continue that training to build a confident and healthy bond. In fact, Deacon already knows his basic commands and then some. He can't wait to continue this process and may even be a good match for agility, fly ball, or scent work.

As a young, active shepherd, Deacon is looking for a family that can exercise his body and his mind on a daily basis. True of all shepherds, pent up energy can result in unwanted behaviors. He is the epitome of the saying - "A tired dog is a good dog." Excited to match with a family that will provide daily opportunities to run, play, and train, Deacon will thrive with a routine that provides mental enrichment. Well versed with a variety of toys, this majestic fluffball absolutely loves soccer balls, lacrosse balls, squeaky balls, textured balls, really any ball he can chase and chew on! He also loves bones.. but sometimes he needs an extra reminder or two when asked to give them back! Deacon loves playing tug of war with his toys, wrestling with his humans, and he even does great at doggy day care. However, as is true of all dogs, it is important that Deacon develop relationships with other dogs in controlled settings over a period of time. 

From time to time, Deacon is surprised by sudden movements and sounds; this often results in anxiety. With a clear understanding of Deacon's energy level and needs, his ideal match will not live in a city or busy neighborhood. A calmer, less hectic environment is key to Deacon's success. He prefers this type of environment to feel safe and secure. While the city-slickin' life may not be for him, we know he has the ability to thrive in a quieter, more spacious environment. While Deacon may have a few special requirements in our book, that is because he is a special guy just waiting for the right family to pick him up and take him to his FUREVER home! This boy has the biggest heart, and at the end of each day, he promises you snuggles and love. He even loves trying to be a lap dog! Does Deacon sound like the right fit for your home? If so, ask to meet him today!

Regal Rayne clearly once lived in a home with a loving family and was a beloved pet. However, his life changed drastically when he landed himself in a shelter for reasons unknown. Rayne was lucky to be pulled by a wonderful all-breed rescue and spent the last year with them searching for a family and sadly they just didn't find a good match for this special GSD. The all-breed rescue decided to reach out to MAGSR, a breed specific rescue, in hopes we could offer him a better shot of landing a home with a family of his very own. 

Rayne recently joined the MAGSR family and has begun his search for a forever family.  As is true of all GSDs, Rayne is looking for a home that will provide him with structure, routine and consistency. This will help him decompress and build a strong and stable relationship with his forever family. Rayne will benefit from continued socialization in a structured manner along with a family that will keep up with the training program he has been through with one of MAGSR's training partners. As with any typical German Shepherd, Rayne will be a loyal protector and take his job very seriously. Rayne would do best with a family that has breed experience and needs to be the one and only pet in the home. He prefers to be the apple of his family's eye. 

Rayne is cuddly and sweet and would be an amazing companion. He loves to cuddle in with his people and would love to share that pizza crust with you. If you would love to spend your time with a regal guy that is seasoned and just gets better with age and wouldn't mind sharing some pizza crust, reach out to MAGSR today.
