After a rough start to life and difficult circumstances in another state, Rusty found his way to MAGSR six years ago. This lucky guy found a loving home with all adults quickly, but due to circumstances beyond their control, his family made the extremely difficult decision to return him to MAGSR  as they knew that we would find the home and love he deserves. Rusty is an incredible guy. This big guy has energy and intelligence to spare. As a result, he will do best in a home that can exercise both his body and his mind daily. He knows several commands and with good leadership follows through nicely. A toy guy, Rusty enjoys playing with plush toys and can be found carrying them about the house. He’s not much of a ball guy; however if given the opportunity, he will catch the ball a couple times and run around with it. 

Rusty has learned to be a gentleman in the house; he understands what is not his and doesn't get on the furniture. He also doesn’t shed much! Already crate trained, Rusty finds comfort in his crate and can often be found sleeping in his crate at night.  While not a “Velcro” dog, Rusty can usually be found in a strategic location where he can keep track of his people. Not an enthusiastic licker, when you get a kiss or affection from Rusty, you know he thinks you’re really special. Rusty has lived with an indoor-only cat for six years. In that time he has learned to leave her alone the large majority of the time. He may do well with a dog-savvy cat. Rusty’s ideal forever home would include plush toys, good exercise, and an appreciation for his intelligence. If this soulful canine sounds like the dog for you, ask to meet him today.

Dusty's family absolutely adored her. However, they knew that they could not provide Dusty with the safety and security that she deserved. As a result, they made the difficult decision to surrender her to MAGSR. Knowing that this family did everything they could to care for Dusty, we promised that we would find this lovely little girl the perfect forever home.   

Dusty is a precious little girl. She brings joy, giggles, and smiles to her foster family on a daily basis. Although somewhat undersocialized, daily work with Dusty is helping her develop into the stable girl we know she will be as she grows. Although Dusty is an absolute love, please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy antics and can be mischievous - they will whine, have accidents, get into things, and chew on inappropriate things. With time, patience, guidance, and training, Dusty will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to become. If Dusty sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet the delightful girl today. 

Gypsy's family loved her dearly; however, due to circumstances beyond their control they needed to find her a new home. Although this was a very difficult decision, they wanted to do what was best for Gypsy. As a result, they reached out to MAGSR to help Gypsy find the perfect forever home.

Gypsy is a young and intelligent girl. Like most shepherds, she needs a little time to warm up to people outside of her family; however, when provided with the opportunity to adjust, Gypsy will begin to interact with new people. As is also true of most shepherds, Gypsy thrives with leadership and a confident handler. Having lived in a household, Gypsy is housebroken and understands many of the basic rules of living in a home. As an active girl, Gypsy will benefit from daily exercise of both her mind and body. She loves long walks and enjoys exploring the outdoors. If Gypsy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today. 

Chadwick was surrendered to a rescue when his family no longer wanted him. As Chadwick's family was not properly caring for him, this was likely his best option. Knowing that Chadwick deserved his best chance at a loving forever home, the rescue that saved him transferred him to MAGSR. 

Chadwick is a big, goofy buddle of energy and playfulness. He brings smiles to everyone he meets. Friendly with both dogs and people, Chadwick can't wait to find his forever home. Although Chadwick is still very young, he seems to have begun responding to a few commands. He is well behaved in his crate and appears to be housebroken. This snuggly guy loves a good ear rub and wouldn't mind crawling into your lap for extra attention. If this goofy and affectionate guy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today!

Fluffy Pavyes and her little family found themselves alone and in need on the streets of a big city. Fortunately, a good samaritan found the little family, and got them to safety. When no one came to claim this little family, MAGSR stepped in to help them all find safe and loving homes. 

Pavyes is a playful and social girl. She is a big fan of snuggles. Although Pavyes is a sweet girl, please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy antics and can be mischievous – they will whine, have accidents, get into things, and chew on inappropriate things. With time, patience, guidance and training, Pavyes will develop into the good canine citizen she is destined to become. If Pavyes sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today.

Momma Bear and her babies, Ash, Autumn, Pumpkin, and Scarlet, were dumped at a shelter. As a shelter is no place for a momma and her pups, calls went out to various rescues to help this family find the safety and comfort of forever homes. As MAGSR has a policy of never leaving families behind, we stepped in and welcomed the entire family into our care until they all find the loving forever homes they so clearly deserve. 

In some ways Momma Bear is still a baby herself. She is very young and still has so much to learn about the comforts of living in a home with a family of her own. Although Momma Bear has done a wonderful job raising her pups, it is her turn to be cared for. Unfortunately, Momma Bear has tested heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if she had kept her on monthly heartworm preventatives. Momma Bear is in the beginning stages of her heartworm treatment; however, the cost of her entire treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Treatment is expensive, but Momma Bear is certainly worth the cost. Donations toward her treatment would be greatly appreciated as this would help us save her and other families with medical needs. Although Momma Bear will need to take it slow over the next few months, she will be back to full strength once her treatment is finished. 

While she works through her treatment, Momma Bear would be most comfortable in her forever home. If Momma Bear sounds like the right pup for your household, please ask to meet her today!

Lovely Princess was picked up by animal control as a stray. Once safe, Princess waited patiently in a shelter for a family but no one came to get her. Fortunately, the staff at the shelter fell in love with this girl and did everything they could to help her find her way to MAGSR. Princess is a lovable girl. She is intelligent and very food motivated. It takes Princess a little time to adjust to a new environment. However, we all need a little time to adjust to changes. Once comfortable, Princess loves to be with her people. She is a big fan of a good head rub and some treats. Princess is new to the MAGSR family. As we get to know her better, we will post updates. If Princess sounds like the right match for your household, please ask to meet her today.

Scarlet is one of the Momma Bear's sweet puppies. This lovely family found themselves at a shelter where no one came to claim them. Along with her mother and siblings, Ash, Pumpkin, and Autumn, Scarlet made the long journey to MAGSR with the help of some good Samaritans and a fantastic transport crew.

As is typical of all puppies, Scarlet is cute, fun-loving, and playful. She brings wiggles and smiles wherever she goes. Although Scarlet is adorable, please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy antics and can be mischievous – they will whine, have accidents, get into things, and chew on inappropriate things. With time, patience, guidance and training, Scarlett will develop into the good canine citizen she is destined to become. If Scarlet sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today.

Raina was given to her family by a friend who felt she would be a good match for their household. Although she was clearly loved by her family, Raina struggled in a city environment. As a result, her family made the difficult decision to surrender Raina to MAGSR so that she could find the family and living environment that would help her develop into the incredible girl they knew she could be. Raina is a friendly but driven girl. As is typical of most shepherds, Raina is intelligent, active, and alert. In order to meet with success, Raina will need both her body and mind exercised daily. She is not a couch potato and will do best with an active family. Although Raina is working on her interactions with other dogs, she would prefer a family where she can be the only dog so that she can be the center of attention. Raina is housebroken and crate trained. She also knows a few commands. However, as is true of all shepherds, Raina will need to attend training in order to develop into the amazing shepherd we know she is destined to be. Training will not only help Raina develop into an amazing dog, but it will also help her bond with her new family. If this active lady sounds like a good match for your household, ask to meet her today. 

Hunter, along with his siblings, Allie and Kate, was surrendered to MAGSR as their family could no longer provide for them. This was a very hard decision, but Hunter's family knew that MAGSR would find him and his siblings safe and loving forever homes. 

Hunter is a loving guy. He has lived with kids and other dogs. Although Hunter was clearly well loved by his family, he is a little confused by all the changes in his life and needs a little time to adjust. When given that chance, Hunter warms up and quickly becomes a playful puppy. Hunter is looking for a family that will commit to him for a lifetime. Could that be you?

Once upon a time, our lovely Shadow had a home and a family. However, her family decided they didn't want to care for her anymore and dumped her in a high kill shelter in the south. When no one came to adopt Shadow, MAGSR stepped in to help her find a family that would commit to her for a lifetime.

Shadow is gorgeous and affectionate. She seems to enjoy the company of her canine and human friends. It is clear that she has been well socialized and is very responsive to the handler. Unfortunately, Shadow has tested heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if she had been kept on monthly heartworm preventatives. Shadow is in the beginning stages of her heartworm treatment; however, the cost of her entire treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Treatment is expensive, but Shadow is certainly worth the cost. Please donate toward her treatment, your generosity will help us save her and other dogs with medical needs. Although Shadow will need to take it slow over the next few months, she will be back to full strength once her treatment is finished.

Sweet Winnie was picked up as a stray by animal control and brought to a shelter where she waited for someone to claim her. When no one came, an animal control officer contacted MAGSR to see if we could help this lovely lady find a home that would provide her with the love, attention, and safety that she so clearly deserves.

Winnie is a beautiful girl who could use a little extra care. Underweight and clearly used for breeding, it is evident that Winnie has endured some hardship. However, she is ready to move forward with a family who will love her and provide her with the guidance and leadership that all shepherds crave. Winnie will do best with a household that will go slow and allow her to build confidence. As is true of all dogs, Winnie will also benefit from training as it will help her bond with her new family, as well as, become a good canine citizen.

Casen is a young, handsome, and friendly guy. He has easily won over the hearts and minds of our volunteers. Casen has come a long way to MAGSR in order to find the perfect forever home.
