Handsome Hank was brought home as a puppy. His family loved him a lot, but due to a change in circumstances, they needed to rehome Hank. Recognizing that Hank deserved every opportunity to meet with success, his family reached out to MAGSR to see if we could help Hank move forward. How could we possibly say no to this big, goofy boy. 

Hank is playful, energetic, and looking for a leader. In many ways, Hank is your typical puppy. He loves toys, bouncing around, and interacting with his people. Well socialized with other people, Hank is comfortable meeting new people, but he does still need to learn a few rules, such as, the importance of keeping his paws on the ground. Clearly food motivated, this guy picks up new expectations quickly. He does very well with a clear, confident, and calm handler. As is true of all shepherds, Hank will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. He is hoping to find a forever family that will exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. Some time to play with toys also sounds like an ideal day to Hank. As Hank moves forward, it is essential that he participates in training. Not only will training help Hank create a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Hank is looking for a forever family that will cherish him for a lifetime. Could that family be with you?

The Neverland Litter (Hook, Pan, Wendy, Tootles, Pockets, Cubby, Nana, Nibs, Rufio, and Tink) was born on a property that is known for breeding and selling puppies. When these babies turned six weeks old, the owner dropped them along with a second litter at a shelter. Unfortunately, the shelter, like so many others, was sitting at critical capacity and knew they needed help moving the babies forward. Recognizing that a rescue would be the best option for these babies, a plea went out to GSD rescues up and down the coast for help. With puppy season in full swing, many groups are inundated with babies needing a safe place to move forward. When asked if we could welcome this group to the family, team MAGSR stepped forward. 

The Neverland puppies are playful, interactive, and social puppies. Although they did not have the easiest start, they have had many different people in their corner since their arrival at the shelter. In the last few weeks, these babies have had many opportunities to start socializing with new people and in a variety of situations. Socialization is essential to their success; it is critical to their forever families continue this process. Living with some of our amazing foster families, these babies are learning the ins and outs of living in a home. They are learning all about the joys of good food, daily playtime, structure and routine. Although Tootles and his siblings are beyond precious, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, and patience, we know that the Neverland Litter will grow up to become good canine citizens. If your family is ready to welcome terrific Tootles into your home, 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. Annette is active, engaging, and always up for a snuggle. She is playful and curious but can be a little hesitant when first introduced to new things. Given a moment to explore, Annette is happy to learn about the world around her. A huge fan of toys, Annette, like her siblings, loves all things, rolly, squeaky, and crunchy. She is hoping her forever family has plenty of toys to keep her occupied. Living in a foster home with other dogs and cats, Annette is lucky to be gaining experiences with a variety of other creatures. As this little lady moves forward it is critical that her forever family continues to provide Annette with opportunities to socialize with new people, other animals, and in new environments. This will help Annette develop into a stable and confident adult dog. Although Annette is a love, 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 Annette will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to be. If Annettte 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.

Lolly is nothing short of a survivor. This girl was picked up as a stray with another female dog who it was assumed was her sister and brought to a crowded shelter. Both girls were in poor condition. Emaciated, missing fur, covered in a skin sores, and heartworm positive, they entered the shelter just as a distemper outbreak occurred. Although both girls were very sweet, they were quickly added to the list for euthanasia. Luckily, they were pulled from the euthanasia room at the last second by another rescue when an incredible foster stepped up to help. Not all fosters are ready for one dog, but this one was open to two. 

The girls were tightly bonded and were lucky to leave with their lives. Shortly after they arrived in care, Lolly's sister popped positive with distemper. This virus is often extremely challenging and takes many lives. Although she fought hard, Lolly's sister did not survive leaving Lolly alone and grieving. Her foster made sure Lolly had everything she needed to keep moving forward. He quarantined Lolly to make sure that she did not come down with the virus, kept her company, and began addressing her other medical needs. With her skin issues addressed, her weight back up where it belongs, and her heartworm's gone, Lolly has made huge strides. After months of recovery, Lolly is ready to find a forever family of her very own thanks to the love and support of her foster dad. 

Lovely Lolly is an interactive girl. She enjoys the company of her human and canine companions. Now that she can be a dog, Lolly enjoys romping around outside. She has learned the joys of toys and a comfortable bed. Having lived with a foster for the last several months, Lolly has also been learning the ins and outs of living in a home. However, as is true of any new dog, this girl will need a chance to adjust to the routines and expectations of her forever family. A home with clear routines, structure, and leadership will help her thrive. Training will also go a long way with Lolly. Not only will training help her bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Lolly is looking for that special family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?
