Gregarious George is one of 11 puppies and a mama that were part of a cruelty case within Maryland. Upon arrival, this sweet litter of pups quickly won over all the staff within the shelter; however,  they knew this family needed to move into the safety of a rescue immediately so they could move forward and find loving forever families.  When asked if we could help this litter of 11 babies and mama, team MAGSR stepped up and welcomed the Hogwarts family to the rescue. 

George is a playful and interactive guy. He enjoys the company of other animals but can be a little shy at first. Like his brothers and sisters, he is working on socialization and house manners. Fortunately, our Hogwarts puppies have a good start already as they are sweet and friendly pups who happily soak up all of the love and attention they can find. Living with amazing foster families, each of the Hogwarts puppies is starting to learn all of the important things they will need to know in order to develop into stable and confident adult dogs. Although puppies bring endless joy to everyone they encounter, 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, structure, and routine, they will develop into incredible dogs. If these babies sound like the right match for your household, ask to meet one of them today!

Kingston was surrendered to a shelter by his owner who outwardly admitted that he was being abused in their home. Having survived a couple years of mistreatment, Kingston was, understandably, frightened and unsure. Although fearful and avoidant with men due to the abuse suffered at the hands of a man, Kingston was more accepting of and comfortable with female staff members at the shelter. However, it was very apparent to shelter staff that Kingston would be most successful if given the opportunity to move forward with a rescue that could provide him with the time, patience, and leadership needed to move beyond his abuse. Recognizing that Kingston deserved so much more than the life that he had escaped, several rescuers came together to network Kingston and help him move forward. MAGSR was honored to be part of the team that changed Kingston's life for the better. 

Kingston is a survivor. He has endured pain and suffering without the voice to ask for help. The scars left by his previous owner are not very visible on the outside, but they have left him unsure and anxious with new people and situations. As a result, Kingston has needed time to decompress and develop trust in an experienced foster home. Handshy and head shy, Kingston's foster family has been slowly teaching him that people can be kind, gentle, and a source of love. He has been learning that a leash is not a tool for pain, a collar will not hurt, and that head scratches are truly amazing. This is a slow process, but every day, Kingston's foster family sees a little more of the goofy, playful, and affectionate boy that has been hidden by the trauma of his previous life. Daily opportunities to work with his foster family and adjust to living in a safe home are important for Kingston. He has adjusted well to being handled by his foster mom and is learning to trust his foster dad. Kingston's relationships with men will require some additional support as he continues to progress. With time, training, desensitization, and a chance to be a dog, Kingston is making important strides needed to move forward with a loving family of his own. 

In addition to the physical abuse that Kingston endured, it is apparent that he was also neglected. Upon arrival, it was very clear that Kingston had medical needs that required immediate intervention. Struggling to defecate without shaking and screaming in pain, extremely uncomfortable with swollen and infected anal glands, itchy from a food allergy, in pain from frostbitten ears, positive for heartworms, and lacking energy due to a severe case of pneumonia, Kingston has needed significant medical support. Fortunately, one of our amazing vetting partners has worked with us to provide Kingston with everything he needs. Antibiotics have begun, pain meds have been administered, x-rays have been taken, and next steps are in place to ensure that Kingston's needs are met. Additional care will be needed over the next month or two to ensure that Kingston is healed and healthy. Kingston's medical needs are expensive but he is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating to his care as your donation will not only help us help Kingston move forward, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs into the MAGSR family. 

Although Kingston is not yet ready to find his forever family, we know that when he is ready for his next step, a safe, loving, experienced and supportive family will be waiting for him. Kingston Could that be with you?

The Hunger Games puppies - Peeta, Katniss, Thresh, Rue, Gale, and Finnick - were an accidental litter in the south. Although they were well-cared for as babies, as they grew, they became too much for their family. Recognizing that they were unable to provide a large number of babies with what they needed, their family surrendered them to a shelter. Unfortunately, with the overwhelming number of dogs needing placements in shelters right now, owner surrenders are the first dogs to be euthanized. The minute these babies entered the building they were in danger. Trying to do everything they could to keep this group alive, shelter staff began pleading for rescue help. When we heard about their plight, our team knew we needed to welcome the Hunger Games family to MAGSR. 

Gale is an active and loving boy. He is thrilled to interact with his people and loves a good snuggle. As an active young pup, Gale is looking for a family that can give him the time, attention, and training that will help him meet with success. Still a very young dog, it is essential that Gale continue to socialize regularly. This will help him develop a stable and confident personality. Although Gale is an absolute love bug, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with puppy antics.

Handsome Keith was picked up as a stray and brought to a local shelter. Staff members immediately noticed that Keith was a happy and friendly guy who enjoyed every ounce of attention he could get. Although they waited for his family to come and claim him, no one stepped forward for Keith. Recognizing that this guy would be best placed through a breed specific rescue, he was transferred to the MAGSR family. We promised shelter staff that we would find Keith the perfect forever family. 

Keith is an active and social guy.  Definitely treat motivated, Keith is often an absolute goofball when food is involved. This motivation will be very helpful when it comes to training. Lacking much experience with a leash, Keith is still learning how to walk without pulling. However, he is a smart guy and seems to be picking up new skills quickly. As is true of all shepherds, Keith will thrive in an environment that is structured and has clear routines. He craves leadership and is responsive to a calm and confident handler. Good with other dogs, Keith enjoys the company of other dogs and simply wants to play. As Keith moves forward, it is vital that his forever family continues to social him in a controlled environment with other people and animals. This will help him maintain his skills. It is also imperative that Keith's family enroll him in training. Training is very important as it will not only help Keith establish a healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen. If Keith sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet this sweet guy today!

Handsome Scream was picked up as a stray and brought to a local shelter. Although he waited patiently for his family to come and claim him, no one stepped forward. This was surprising as staff members could tell this boy was well socialized with people and had clearly been loved. Recognizing that living in a shelter environment is difficult for the breed, staff members began working to move Scream into a breed specific rescue. When we saw that Scream needed support to move forward, MAGSR stepped in and welcome this sweet guy to the family. 

Scream is a big, beautiful, and sometimes talkative guy. Having clearly been socialized with people, he seems to understand that people are treats, love and attention. Scream is delighted to hang out with his people and loves attention and petting. It appears that Scream has also been introduced to toys. He enjoys a good game of fetch and does know to drop the ball when asked. Although he enjoys many toys, Scream seems most excited with a ball. He is hoping his forever family has a strong throwing arm. Playful but gentle, Scream has definitely learned some manners when it comes to toys and treats. As he moves forward, Scream will benefit from a household that will provide him with the structure, routine and leadership that all GSDs crave. Although he seems to already have a good start with manners, it is essential that Scream attends training with his forever family. Not only will this help him create a safe and healthy bond with his family, but it will also help him further develop the skills needed to become a stable and confident adult. If your family is looking for a very smart, friendly, and interactive guy, ask to meet Scream today!

Annika was returned to MAGSR's care after incidents with the other dog of the household, as well as the cat. She will be looking for a forever family where she can be the sole animal in the home to be the center of attention. 

Annika is a beautiful young adult with a big personality. She is extremely intelligent and observant of her environment. She also forms strong bonds with her humans and is very affectionate. Annika will be protective of the house once she sees it as her place. She will thrive with a confident handler and structured training to bring out her potential, because she lives for meaningful interactions with her people. She is active and a jumper, and may be a candidate for agility training or other activities that engage her intelligence.

She loves tummy rubs and affection, walks, and interactive games. She learns quickly when pepperoni treats are on hand, and will even play a good game of hide and seek the treat. Annika likes her crate and is fully house trained. She walks well on the leash, learns commands quickly, loves car rides and exploring new environments like trails and parks.

If sweet Annika sounds like the right match for your family, please ask to meet her today. 

The Hocus Pocus puppies - Mary, Sarah, and Winnie - were picked up as strays in the south and brought to a shelter. Upon their arrival shelter staff contacted MAGSR for help, as they were at capacity. Recognizing that these babies needed to move forward, we immediately moved them into the MAGSR family. Although they survived upper respiratory infections, the girls' systems were not as equipped to fight off parvo when they popped positive. In the end, all three of the girls needed to be hospitalized to receive around the clock care. Although they fought hard to survive, sweet Winnie crossed over the bridge leaving her sisters, Mary and Sarah, behind. With a lot of love and a lot of people pulling for them, Mary and Sarah survived. We are so glad to see these lovely girls thriving and know that their sister is watching over them from the bridge.

Mary is a loving and determined little girl. She wants to make friends with all furry creatures and is sure that she can win everyone and anyone over. Really, who could deny that sweet face? Not huge fans of heat, the girls do get warm easily and often prefer cooler surfaces to blankets. Both Sarah and Mary do understand the joy of a doggy cot and can often be found relaxing on one. Already comfortable with toys, the girls enjoy things that squeak and crackle. An empty water bottle keeps them entertained for quite some time. Having lived in a foster home, the girls have been making great progress with their housetraining and are adjusting well to crating. When crated, they are pretty content most of the time. These girls have already begun to socialize with other animals and people. However, it is critical that their forever families continue this process. A well-socialized pup will develop into a stable adult. As they continue to grow, both girls will also need to attend training. Training will not only help them create a healthy bond with their families, it will also help them develop into good canine citizens. 

Although these little survivors are super puppies, now they have beaten parvo, they are now free to be puppies. 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, structure, and routine, Mary will develop the skills necessary to become a stable adult. If this little girl sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet Mary today!

Saxon and his buddy, Ozzy, were victims of a house fire. When their family lost their home, they realized that they could no longer provide their dogs with the care that they deserved. As a result, they surrendered the dogs to a shelter. Upon arrival, it was evident that Saxon and Ozzy lacked socialization. They had lived with a pack of dogs; however, it seems that they had limited exposure to new situations and new people. Shelter staff immediately began working with the boys to build trust and move them forward. However, they recognized that Saxon and Ozzy would likely not thrive in a shelter setting. As a result, they sent out a plea for rescue placement. When we learned about the boys, we put plans together to welcome both Saxom and Ozzy into the MAGSR family. 

Saxom is a stunning guy. Intelligent, confident, and driven he is in many ways the definition of a GSD. Good at reading the handler, Saxom is most successful when working with a calm and clear handler. He will thrive in an environment with structure, routine, and leadership. Although we do not know much about his previous home, we have learned that Saxom is both ball and food motivated. He picks up commands quickly and is always game for a game of fetch. An energetic guy, Saxom is looking for an active family that will exercise both his mind and his body on a daily basis. This is critical as Saxom will find other ways of entertaining himself if activity is not provided. Already picking up a few commands, Saxom will be a star at training class. Training is necessary as Saxom will need to develop a strong and healthy bond with his forever family. He will also need to develop the skills needed to develop into a good canine citizen. Saxom is looking for a loving family that will commit to him for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Sweet Sasquatch was picked up as a stray in the south by another rescue. It was clear that this big love bug needed some help. Fortunately, he met the right people. While waiting out his stray hold, rescuers worked with the local animal control to try to find his family. It was thought that a dog this sweet must have had a home. Unfortunately, no one came to claim Sasquatch. Recognizing that this guy deserved a loving forever family of his own, it was decided that Sasquatch would have his best chance at permanency if he was moved to another region. When asked if we could help Sasquatch move forward, MAGSR welcomed him to the family. 

Sasquatch is a gentle giant. As an older dog, he has surpassed the stages of puppy antics and is settled in his personality. Happy to interact with other people and dogs, Sasquatch is a pretty easy-going guy. He likes his walks and play time, but he is also perfectly happy to hang out with his people. Although we do not know anything about Sasquatch's past, we do know that his future is very bright. As Sasquatch moves forward, he is looking for a family that will provide him with the structure and routine that all dogs need to thrive. Sasquatch is also looking for a comfortable bed, plenty of treats, and lots of toys. I mean, can you really blame him? As is true with all dogs, Sasquatch will need to participate in training. Training will not only help Sasquatch bond to his forever family, but it will also help him become a good canine citizen. Sasquatch is looking for a loving forever home that will give him the opportunity to live out his golden years in comfort and safety. Could that be with you?

Sweet Jazz was surrendered to a local shelter in very poor shape. Covered in demodex mange with a severe secondary skin infection that had festered to the point of open, bleeding sores and raw patches throughout his body, Jazz was clearly in significant pain from nose to tail for some time. Although shelter staff did everything they could to bring Jazz relief, they recognized that this guy needed to be moved into a rescue where he could begin working with a private vet to address his medical needs. When our volunteers learned about Jazz's situation, we began working putting things in place to welcome Jazz to MAGSR. 

Although Jazz's condition has been left untreated for sometime and has clearly caused him significant pain, he remains an absolute sweetheart. Jazz enjoys the company of people of all ages. He is friendly and interactive. Not only does Jazz enjoy the company of his people, he also does well with furry friends of various sizes. He really is an impressive guy. At this time, Jazz is resting and recovering under the watchful eye of his foster family. With antibiotics, pain medication, and regular baths, he is beginning to find relief and can relax in the comfort and safety of a home. Jazz's medical needs are expensive; however, we know that this handsome guy is beyond worth the cost. Please consider donating to Jazz's care. Your donation will not only help us continue to move Jazz forward but it will also help us continue to support dogs with medical needs. As he continues to heal, Jazz is hoping to find a loving forever home that will commit to him for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Handsome Murphy was found hanging out at a high school with his buddy Millie. Both dogs were brought to a shelter where they waited for a family to claim them. When no one came forward, the shelter staff started pleading for rescue support as they were at capacity. Who could say no to such sweet dogs?

Murphy is a playful and energetic guy. He is friendly and good with both people and other dogs. However, he can be vocal with new dogs when first meeting them. As a young guy, Murphy has energy to burn and will do best in a home that can exercise his mind and his body on a daily basis. Arriving as a stray, we do not know what Murphy knows about living in a household. However, he seems to be a quick learner who wants to please his handler. As is true of all dogs, Murphy will thrive when provided with guidance, leadership, and consistency. Training will help him adjust to his new family as well as develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Murphy is looking for a forever family that will love and care for him for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Julio is a sweet and handsome guy. He and his brother Tazz found themselves dumped in a Southern shelter for eating one of the free range chickens on their farm. It’s really no wonder these young boys turned to hunting for their own food as they came in skin and bones and desperate for a good meal.  The positive for these boys is that with consistent food at the shelter they have already started to gain some much needed weight.

Although Julio and Tazz are littermates, they are not bonded and we have found they do better apart. We have found that Julio is the more dominant of the two brothers but both boys are sweet natured and extremely friendly. Both were excellent travels on their several day journey to MAGSR and were reported to be easy to load in and out of their crate and friendly to all they met on the road trip.

Julio is a friendly, playful, and intelligent guy. Unsurprisingly, he does like to see what he can get away with when being handled. He has your typical GSD shenanigans going on. As a young dog, Julio will thrive with structure, clear routines, and leadership. He is beginning to learn basic manners and how to walk on leash without pulling. However, Julio, like all dogs, will need training. Training will not only help him bond to his forever family but it will also help him develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to become. Julio is looking for a family that enjoys an interactive dog, playtime, and lots, we mean lots, of belly rubs. If this boy sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet Julio today.
