Jenny and her buddy, Forest, were lucky to have grown up in a loving home that had planned to love them for a lifetime. Forest joined the family as a baby and was immediately adored. Jenny joined a little later when another family in the area needed to rehome her. She was immediately adored. Like "peas and carrots" these two lived side by side in an incredible household. Unfortunately, things simply don't always work out the way we plan. When circumstances changed unexpectedly in their home, it became clear that it was in both dogs best interest that they be rehomed. This is never an easy decision; it is often one of the hardest choices a family must make. However, their family knew this was what was best for both dogs. When asked if we could help both dogs move forward with loving families that would last a lifetime, team MAGSR stepped forward.

Jenny is a beautiful, intelligent, and active girl. With some very GSD heavy traits, she can be more timid and hesitant with new people. As a result, it can take her a little time to adjust to her surroundings. However, when given a chance to decompress, Jenny is friendly, sweet, and an amazing companion. Once truly bonded with her people, Jenny is your typical GSD - a constant presence, loyal, and on point. Having had endless opportunities to learn about the joys of daily activities and toys, Jenny enjoys playtime and hopes her forever family has plenty of toys. A lucky lady, Jenny has had the opportunity to begin building her good canine citizenship skills and participate in training. This has helped Jenny enhance her leash manners, develop commands, and increase her confidence. Although Jenny is building a solid foundation, it is critical that Jenny continue training. Not only will training help Jenny build a healthy and lasting bond with her forever family, but it will also help her continue to solidify her good canine citizenship skills. 

Having had the benefit of living in a loving household, Jenny is already housebroken and crate trained. She has developed a good understanding of many of the ins and outs of living in a home. However, it is critical that her forever family provide her with time, patience, structure, and routine. With leadership and clear expectations, Jenny will thrive. This lovely lady is looking for a forever family that will take her on daily adventures, provide her with plenty of toys, and shower her with love. If Jenny sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

Momma Starlight and her adorable babies - Niner, Babs, Peace, Benisa and Seven - were surrendered to an overcrowded shelter when the babies were just 6 weeks old. Although shelter staff do everything they can to keep families safe, raising puppies in a shelter is stressful for the entire family and often results in illness. Although this family was clearly very sweet, no one stepped forward to help them. As shelter numbers everywhere are at astronomical rates, Momma Starlight and her babies were at significant risk of being euthanized as owner surrenders are typically the first to cross. Days passed without interest and the family was placed on the list to be euthanized. The rescue community was doing everything they could to help, but with rescues at critical levels finding placement options was very challenging. Fortunately, an incredible rescue close to the shelter was able to secure temp fosters for the family hoping to work with other rescues to move them forward. When asked if MAGSR could be the family's rescue destination, our team sent out a plea for help. We were lucky to have fosters ready and willing to help. The uncertainty of their survival had finally ended as they made their way to the MAGSR family. 

Momma Starlight has been through so many challenges over the last two months, but she remains very sweet. Clearly a good mom, Starlight has done an incredible job raising her babies. However, it is time for Starlight to soak in the love and attention of a forever family. Starlight has had the opportunity to adjust to life without the babies in an experienced foster family. She is taking some time to decompress and enjoy the safety and security of a loving household. Once comfortable, Starlight is affectionate and full of gentle kisses. She seems to know that life can only get better from now on. Still somewhat a puppy herself, Starlight can be goofy and playful. She loves to goof around outside then roll over for belly rubs. Living in a foster home with other dogs, Starlight has done well. She was also a very patient mom to the babies. Although in a foster home now, we do not know how much experience Starlight has had in a household. She is learning to crate train and is adjusting to the routines and expectations of the home. As Starlight moves forward, she will thrive with consistency, structure, and leadership. Training will also go a long way for Starlight. Not only will it help her 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. 

Starlight is looking for an active family that will enjoy daily activities with her. She is also hoping that they are looking for a few extra snuggles at night. This gorgeous girl is ready for the perfect family to welcome her home. If Starlight sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

Niner and his adorable siblings have been through a lot of changes in a short period of time. However, a resilient group, these babies have maintained some very typical puppy behaviors. They are active, intelligent, and very good with other animals. With a good understanding of toys, treats, and a soft place to relax, all four babies have been lucky to have settled in experienced foster families. Still developing their socialization skills, Niner and his siblings will need endless opportunities to socialize with people and other animals in safe and controlled settings. Socialization is critical to their success as this will help them develop into stable adult dogs. Although these babies are cute as can be, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience, and leadership we know that Niner and his siblings are destined for greatness. Niner is looking for a household that will provide him with a good balance of training, playtime, and cuddles. If this cute little guy sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today!
