Our newest babies - Sam, Ellie, Carlton, Blue, and Eugene - were found too small and without a mommy. Babies really need to be with mom until at least eight weeks. This gives them a chance to access the nutrition, love, and social foundation needed to meet with success. As luck would have it, a dog in the area, Madison, was having a hysterical pregnancy and was ready to step in and help these babies in need. Madison did an incredible job fostering her babies and taught them everything she could before sending them on their way to their adoptive families. We will forever be grateful to Madison and her human mom for stepping in and making miracles happen.

All five babies have been well-loved and cared for. Over time, they have developed their own special personalities. Eugene is the life of the party. He likes to play and tumble around with everyone. This boy isn't afraid to get dirty. Thinking he's the leader of the pack, Eugene likes to pretend that he's the oldest of the pups. However, he does have a little competition for that spot. Although Eugene is an all around fun guy, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your world with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, and training, Eugene will develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to become. If this spirited little guy sounds like the right match for your family. Ask to meet him today!

Lorelai and her ten siblings (the Gilmore puppies) found themselves in an overcrowded shelter in the south. The number of dogs needing placement is simply overwhelming shelters across the country. Unfortunately, these babies, like so many other dogs, were in need of help fast. Recognizing that these babies deserved every opportunity to meet with success, staff at the shelter sent out personal rescue pleas attempting to keep this large family alive. When we heard that the Gilmore puppies needed placement, our incredible team began putting together plans to welcome all eleven babies into the rescue. 

The Gilmore puppies are a social, playful, and interactive bunch. They have clearly had opportunities to socialize with people and other animals. However, this process has just begun. It is essential that their forever families continue to provide opportunities to socialize with people and animals in new and safe environments. This will help the Gilmore puppies develop stability and confidence as adult dogs. Training is also critical for these babies as it will not only help them create a healthy bond with their forever families, but it will also help them develop into good canine citizens. The Gilmore puppies have all settled into amazing foster families where they are learning the comforts and routines of living in a home. They are learning about toys, treats, and the joy of a good nap. As they move forward, the Gilmore puppies will be looking for loving forever homes that will continue to provide them with structure, routine, and leadership. Although these babies are cute as can be, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, and training, we are positive these babies will grow into incredible adult dogs. The Gilmore puppies will open for adoption on April 22nd. If Lorelai sounds like the right match for your household, get your application in today!

Lizzy came to us from a small rural shelter in Arkansas. Sweet Lizzy was given up to the shelter with her pack mate, and how sad it was for her to know her packmate got adopted and she was still there. Lizzy was on the list to be euthanized when MAGSR stepped in to save this beautiful low-rider. Lizzy lived with a foster down south and her foster stated she is the easiest foster she’s ever had. There isn’t a dog or person she doesn’t want to meet. She gracefully interacted with the resident indoor cats at her foster's home and enjoys playing ball.

Unfortunately, Lizzy is heartworm positive but has completed treatment and just has another month or so of restricted activities before she is cleared. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided had Lizzy been provided with monthly heartworm preventatives. Although treatment is very expensive, this active little girl is beyond worth the cost. Lizzy's entire heartworm treatment has been covered. 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. Lizzy will need to take it easy over the next month while she completes her treatment. However, this will give her time to adjust to her forever family. If Lizzy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today.

He is a momma's boy and kept close to Madison. Similar to his brother, Eugene, the boys are just beginning to look a little different from one another. 
Although Blue is a honey, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your world with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, and training, Blue will develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to become. If this sweet little boy sounds like the right match for your family.

Geo needs your help.

Sweet Geo was picked up as a stray in a busy city in the south. When he arrived at a shelter, it was highly apparent that this big guy would need help to move forward. Although he was calm and patient with staff members, the state in which Geo arrived was simply heartbreaking. As the number of dogs arriving in shelters is at a constant state of crisis, dogs with needs like Geo are often first to be added to the list for euthanasia. Sadly, Geo was placed on this list without many options for survival. Staff members at the shelter and rescue groups around the area knew that Geo deserved a chance to move forward safely. So, a call for help went out to rescues up and down the coast. With some help from a few different people, we were able to put a plan together and welcome Geo to the MAGSR family. 

Geo is definitely a special guy. Having arrived at the shelter in unimaginable pain, Geo has handled one situation after another like a gentleman. Emaciated, covered in scabies with a secondary skin infection, heartworm positive, dealing with infected toe nails, and partially to possibly completely deaf, Geo is going to need significant support as he moves forward. Fortunately, our team is on it. Currently living with one of our amazing vetting partners, Geo is getting all the time, attention, and medical support he needs. We have begun by running blood panels, checking his thyroid, taking x-rays, and starting medications. As the first pieces of Geo's medical care are moving forward, he will begin medicated baths and heartworm treatment soon. Geo's recovery will take time; however, we will stay by his side throughout his journey. 

We are still getting to know Geo. However, so far he is known to be a pretty easy going guy which is impressive with the amount of suffering he has endured. Content to chill and take in his surroundings, Geo seems to need a little time to take in all of the changes around him. Currently, we are focused upon doing everything we can to ensure that Geo is content and comfortable. As his health improves, we hope to see more of his personality. We do know that Geo is good on leash and enjoys the company of his people. He loves gentle petting and settles in nicely with people that are calm and confident. Geo will be looking for a family that will cherish him throughout his golden years. Could that family be you?

Please help with Geo's care and recovery.

Handsome Niklaus and his sweet sister, Samantha, were part of a litter of babies that were lucky to be living in a loving home. Although their brothers and sisters found forever families of their own, these two babies were not as lucky. Recognizing that both pups would be most successfully placed in loving forever families if they were part of a breed specific rescue, their family decided to surrender them to MAGSR. We promised we would find both babies incredible forever families that would cherish them for a lifetime. 

Niklaus is playful, interactive, and adorable. This little guy has been well-socialized with people and other animals. However, it is imperative that his forever family continue this process in order to help Niklaus develop into a stable and confident adult. Niklaus is living with one of our amazing foster families. They are working with him as he learns the ins and outs of living in a home. As an intelligent boy, Niklaus is already starting to pick up new routines and expectations. As he moves forward, training will be essential to Niklaus' success. Not only will training help Niklaus develop a strong and healthy relationship with his family, but it will also help him become a good canine citizen. 

Although Niklaus is an absolute joy, 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, Niklaus will develop into an amazing dog. If this little guy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today!
 

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 Peanut's life was filled with endless challenges and suffering prior to her confiscation, she remains loving and affectionate. With a gentle demeanor and sweet personality, she easily wins over everyone who meets her. Really, who could say no to those lovely eyes? Although she has endured a lot of suffering throughout the years, Peanut's demeanor remains stable and lovable. Sometimes we are simply astonished by the resilience of dogs that have been through so much trauma but are still friendly and interactive.  As is true of all shepherds, Peanut will thrive when provided with structure, routine, and leadership. In many ways she is still in the beginning stages of her new life. She will need time to adjust to new people, environments, and expectations. However, given patience and opportunities to learn, we are sure that Peanut will continue to discover the joys of being a beloved member of a family. We do not know if Peanut has had much experience living in a household. Clear rules and boundaries will help her settle into her new home. Training will also go a long way for this lovely lady. Not only will training help Peanut develop 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 all of the Kentucky Six are heartworm positive. This could have easily been avoided with a monthly heartworm preventative. Peanut is just beginning treatment. However, she is already handling her protocol like a pro. Although heartworm treatment is expensive, MAGSR will cover the entire cost of Peanut's medical treatment. Please consider donating to Peanut's care as it will not only help Peanut continue to move forward, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs. Peanut is looking for a forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. If this amazing lady sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

He keeps everyone happy and his little eyes simply dance with merriment. A huge fan of food, this boy is always happy to chow down and keeps his belly full at all times. Although Carlton is a love bug, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your world with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, and training, Carlton will develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to become. If this merry little guy sounds like the right match for your family.

She adored Madison and cuddled with her until she left for her forever family. Ellie likes to get in the middle of everything and stir up the fun. It also seems that she has gotten those "puppy eyes" down pat when corrected for being too rowdy. Someone needs to know when to turn the charm on and off.

Lovely little Bell and her sister, Bebe, were surrendered to a local shelter. Although it was clear that the girls were sweethearts, the shelter environment is a loud and scary place for many dogs, especially puppies. In a constant state of fear and starting to avoid people, shelter staff knew that if the girls remained in the shelter environment much longer, their chances at finding a forever home were limited. Recognizing that the girls were beginning to shut down in their new surroundings, shelter staff made an urgent plea for rescue help. Although we already had several puppies within the rescue, when we heard about Bell and Bebe's situation, we knew we needed to step forward and welcome both girls to the MAGSR family. 

Bell is beyond adorable. Her lovely eyes simply draw you in and melt your heart. However, due to a lack of socialization with new people, new environments, and new animals prior to her arrival in MAGSR's care, she can be skittish and unsure in new situations and with new people. Her tendency is to attempt to run and hide. Bell is fortunate to be living with an incredible foster family that is working hard to provide her with the opportunity to socialize with new people and other animals in controlled settings. However, it is critical that Bell's forever family continue this socialization. Bell is looking for a forever family that will provide her with the structure, routine, and leadership that all dogs crave. Training will go a long way with Bebe. Not only will it help her create a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop into a stable and confident adult. If your household has the time, patience, and energy  to provide Bebe with opportunities and experiences that all young dogs deserve, ask to meet this little girl today!

Lovely Kitana was adored by her family. They gave her endless opportunities to socialize with people and other animals which helped her develop a stable and confident personality. However, due to unexpected changes, they could no longer provide her with the life they knew she deserved. Recognizing that Kitana would be most successful if placed within a breed specific rescue, they asked us to welcome Kitana to the MAGSR family. We promised we would find this special girl the perfect forever family. 

Kitana is a beautiful, affectionate, and interactive girl. She has an interactive personality and loves everyone she encounters. Kitana is living with one of our amazing foster families. They are working with her to help her transition. As is true of all dogs, Kitana will need some time to adjust to her new family and home. However, given time, patience, structure, and routine, we are sure that Kitana will meet with success. Although Kitana already knows a few commands, she will benefit greatly from training. Training will not only help Kitana develop a strong, healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her become a good canine citizen. Kitana is looking for a loving forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Although sweet little Zaire is still very young, we don't know much about her first couple of months. We do know that somewhere along the lines something went very wrong as she was found one morning tied to the front door of a shelter in the south. Sweet but understandably a little shy, shelter staff knew that the longer she remained at an overcrowded shelter, the less likely Zaire would be to find a forever home. In order to provide Zaire with every opportunity to move forward safely, shelter staff began working with the rescue community to find a placement. Fortunately, one of our rescue partners heard of Zaire's plea and helped us welcome her to the MAGSR family. 

Zaire is an interactive, playful, and social girl. She is learning all about the joys of a comfortable bed, good food, and plenty of toys. Her incredible foster family has begun the important work of teaching Zaire the ins and outs of living in a household. She is a smart little girl and is already beginning to pick up new skills. As Zaire is still very young, her foster family is working hard to support Zaire providing her with opportunities to socialize with people and animals in varied environments. Socialization is critical to Zaire's success. Her forever family will need to continue this process to ensure that Zaire develops into a confident and stable adult dog. Training will also be essential to Zaire's success.

Handsome Nico was surrendered to another rescue in the south as his family felt that they could not provide him with the life he deserved. Due to an overwhelming number of dogs needing rescue right now, the other rescue asked MAGSR if he could be transferred. As working together helps save lives, we were happy to welcome Nico to the MAGSR family.

Nico is your typical young GSD. He is active, intelligent, and full of energy. It is clear that Nico was well socialized with other people and loves everyone. As is true of all young dogs, Nico is looking for a home that will help him exercise his body and his mind on a daily basis.

Coates was picked up as a stray in the south and brought to an overcrowded shelter. Although he waited patiently for his family to come and claim him, when no one stepped forward Coates found himself in a scary predicament. With an overwhelming number of dogs entering the shelter on a daily basis, there were not enough openings. Fortunately, shelter staff work very hard to reach out for help hoping to save as many lives as possible. When we heard that Coates needed help as soon as possible, MAGSR stepped forward to welcome him to the family. 

Coates is a friendly and affectionate guy. He enjoys the company of people as well as other dogs. Although Coates has clearly been well socialized with people, it appears that he was likely left outside most of his life. As a result, many of the basic ins and outs of household life are unknown to him. Recognizing that Coates will need to gain experience within everyday indoor experiences, our volunteers are working with him to help him learn basic concepts, such as stairs and doors. Coates is looking for a household that will provide him structure, routine, and leadership. He will need a little time to adjust to living in a home. However, we know that with time and patience, he will develop into an incredible canine citizen. Training is essential for Coates.

Bright eyed Amari was given as an unexpected and unwanted gift to a child. Although she was cute as a button, the child's caregiver recognized that puppies require a lot of love, attention, and guidance to become stable, adult dogs. Knowing that this was not something they could do, they began looking for a rescue option for Amari. Fortunately, a rescue network began working together to try to find Amari placement. When MAGSR learned that Amari needed placement, our team immediately stepped forward to help. 

Amari is a sweet, energetic, and curious pup. As is typical of her breed, she has endless energy and great drive. Very attentive to the handler, Amari is going to be the star of training class. Having already developed a strong ball drive and a love for playing, Amari is hoping that her forever family has a good throwing arm. Living with an amazing foster family, Amari has already begun to learn the ins and outs of living in a home. She learning how to crate train and housebreak while also developing an understanding of the rules and expectations of the household. A smart girl, she picks up new learning quickly. 

Unfortunately, Amari fell very ill after arriving in our care and had to be rushed to the emergency room as she had become lethargic, couldn't hold food down, and was not able to defecate. Knowing that Amari deserved every opportunity to survive, MAGSR made sure Amari got the care she needed. After extensive bloodwork, x-rays, fluids, and an ultrasound, it was determined that Amari needed immediate exploratory surgery for concerns with potential hernias and potential repairs to her bowels. Once surgery began, our incredible veterinary team discovered that Amari was suffering from double hernias that had entangled her bowel and cut off blood flow. Luckily, this was found in time and her surgical team was able to repair both hernias and resect an area of the bowel. Can you help with her care?

Amari has returned to her foster family and is beginning her recovery. We were so lucky to have an incredible team working together to help her survive. However, Amari's medical needs have been very expensive. We need your help. Please consider donating to Amari's medical needs. Not only will this help Amari get the care she needs, but it will also help us help other medical dogs in need. Amari will be recovering with her foster family over the next few weeks. Once healthy, she will be looking for an active family that will help her exercise her body and her mind on a daily basis.

Jameson and his family - JD, Tito, and Precious - were living outside. The dogs were clearly well socialized with their family; however, they had not had much experience off property. When circumstances suddenly changed, their family could no longer keep them and began looking for rescue options. Recognizing that this little family needed help and quickly, our volunteers began working together to welcome everyone to the MAGSR family. 

Jameson is a social, interactive, and energetic guy. He clearly enjoys the attention of his people and has done well with other dogs.

Tej and his family - Novi, Anshu, and Asha - were dumped on the side of a busy road in the south. With traffic flying past at high speeds, this little family was not likely to survive for long. Fortunately, a good samaritan saw what was happening and stopped to try to help the family. With an incredible stroke of good luck she was able to corral the family and convince them to hop into her car. From there she took them to a rescue friendly boarding facility. Although the authorities were contacted and a stray hold was put into effect, no one came forward. Recognizing that this family would benefit from rescue placement, a plea went out for help. MAGSR knew this family deserved the chance to move forward as a unit, so our team welcomed all four members into the rescue. 

Tej is an adorable, goofy, and interactive guy. Clearly well socialized with people and adults, Tej is your typical goofy ball of energy.
