Adopted MAGSR Dogs
These are the most recent MAGSR adoptions. Dogs adopted prior to 2016 can be found here.
Valentine
ADOPTED 01/27/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Valentine and her siblings, Cupid, Sweetie, and Angel, were living outside in a location where their likelihood of survival was significantly diminished each day they remained on the property. With limited food, clean water, shelter, and no vetting, these babies had few options. In addition, hazardous conditions on the property made their prognosis grave. Several of their siblings drowned before rescuers were able to step in and help. With the assistance of other rescues, volunteers, and vets, MAGSR was able to bring these little survivors into the MAGSR family.
Valentine is clearly a cutie and her story has quickly won over the hearts and minds of the many people who have helped her along the way. However, Valentine is a working line dog who will require a special household that will commit to training and socialization. As a high energy breed who needs to have structure, guidance, and constant leadership, Valentine's family will need to keep both her mind and body exercised on a daily basis. Although Valentine is an incredible dog, 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, Valentine will develop into the good canine citizen she is destined to become. If Valentine sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today.

Shy
ADOPTED 01/24/2021!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Shy is a survivor. Owned by a hoarder in the south and used to breed puppies, Shy's life had been filled with pain and suffering. However, when another rescue stepped up and removed Shy and several other dogs from the premises, Shy's life changed forever. Recognizing that Shy would have her best chance at finding the forever home in another region, she was transferred to MAGSR. Although we are still getting to know Shy, it is clear that even with all the suffering she has endured she is a sweet but very timid dog. Shy will thrive in a stable, confident, and patient household. This will provide her with love, guidance and leadership needed to help her develop confidence. As we have the opportunity to learn more about Shy, we will post updates. If Shy sounds like a fit for your household, please ask to meet her today.
Update: Shy's foster is happy to report that she has made the transition from living in a horrible hoarding situation to living in a home quite nicely. Shy is housebroken, crate trained and walks nicely on the leash. Shy still gets startled easy as she is learning to trust her humans and will retreat to her crate as her safe place. Shy is a sweet loving dog, has shown no aggression and gets along with the resident dog. As Shy puts her horrible past behind her we feel she will blossom and be an outstanding addition to any family.

Gypsy
ADOPTED 01/23/2021!
, 
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 12
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
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.
Yuki
ADOPTED 01/23/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Yuki's family loved her dearly; however, due to some unforeseen circumstances, they found themselves unable to provide her with the attention and care she deserves. As a result, Yuki's family made the difficult decision to surrender her to MAGSR. We have promised Yuki's family that we will find her a safe and loving household.
Yuki is a lovely and energetic shepherd. As is common with most shepherds, Yuki thrives with structure and leadership. When these circumstances are not present, she can become nervous and anxious. Although Yuki has lived with other dogs, cats, and children, she does need time to warm up to new people and animals. When given this opportunity, Yuki meets with success. Yuki is looking for a forever family that will help her move forward. If she sounds like a good match for your household, ask to meet Yuki today.
Updates:Yuki has been with her foster for 2 weeks and is settling in well. She is starting to show her fun loving personality and can we just say: SQUEAKY BALL! She is in love with squeaky balls and would love to play fetch with her person for as long as possible. She absolutely loves getting her chest scratched and will pull your hand right to her chest with her paw. Need a reminder not to sit at the computer for long periods? No problem. She has a built in clock that says one hour at a time only please. Her itchiness is doing better and her coat is looking more glossy with regular groceries and fish oil. She is still nervous around other people and dogs and needs very gentle introductions. We are working on leash manners and she knows she is supposed to do something different, but is still very focused on watching out for trouble. After barking and letting workmen know that they were entering restricted territory and then getting introduced, she had no problem letting them come in and work on my house. Yuki has a possible diagnosis of EPI -- a pancreatic insufficiency common in GSDs, and may need lifelong enzyme additives in her food. It doesn't bother her but may be adding to her tendency to being underweight and itchy.
Yuki has had a very happy new year! For the first time, she had happy zoomies after a walk (for those of you who haven't seen those, that is when the dog is so full of fun that their brains turn off, ears go back, and the dog zooms around the available space with a wide smile and frequent play bows until the need for water slows them down). She didn't have any problems with the fireworks, which was a nice surprise. She also slept through the neighbor's loud music. It was nice to see her relaxed. She really is a sweetheart who just wants to be near her person in a generally quiet environment and get the ball thrown for her. She would rather play ball then go on a walk! She is housebroken and prefers to do her business in the backyard rather than on walks.
She is crate trained but we are seeing some separation anxiety behaviors. She would benefit from some work with that. She is eager to please and be a part of your life. She is very ball motivated and that is fun to use during training. She knows (in a distraction free environment) sit, down, up, off, come, leave it, bring it, go potty, over, in the car, and where's the ball. She is getting better at stay, but still wants you to stay in sight in return.
Yuki has EPI which requires over-the-counter enzymes and regular, store bought food (high calorie, lower fat, and low fiber). The enzymes we have were around $77 for what is probably going to be a 20 day supply. So her "special" food need comes to about $100 per month and she gets Monthly B-12 shots. Yuki is a special dog that needs a special home that will love her and keep up her special diet and shots. Could you be that person that gives her the care and love she so deserves?
Casper
ADOPTED 01/23/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Casper was found as a stray in a big, busy city. Fortunately, he was brought to a shelter where he waited for his family to claim him. When no one came to claim this big guy, staff members sent out a plea asking for rescues to step up and help Casper find the loving forever home he deserves.
Casper is a big friendly guy. He hasn't yet to meet an adult or a child that he hasn't liked. As a young dog, Casper has a lot of energy and would be happy to play for hours every day. He is a particularly big fan of the ball. As is true of all GSDs, Casper will thrive in a household where he has guidance, leadership and consistency. Training will go a long way with this big guy as it will help him not only bond to his new family but it will also help him develop into the good canine citizen that he is destined to be. We are still getting to know Casper. As we know more, we will provide updates here. If Casper sounds like a good match for your family, ask to meet him today!
David
ADOPTED 01/23/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
David and Goliath were abandoned. These handsome guys needed help and fast. Fortunately, a good samaritan found them and got them to another rescue. Recognizing that the boys would have their best chance in a different region, they were transferred into the MAGSR family. Although these babies are little sweethearts, 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, David will develop into the good canine citizen he is destined to become.

Zeena
ADOPTED 01/17/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Sweet Zeena's family loved her dearly. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, they were no longer able to care for her. As a result, they made the difficult decision to surrender her. Although this was not an easy decision, it was done in Zeena's best interest.
Zeena is a gentle a loving dog. She has been raised with cats and dogs of various sizes and done well. Having previously lived in a household, Zeena understands many of the household rules already but will likely need a refresher on the specific rules of her new household. Zeena is looking for a forever family that will provide for her throughout her golden years. If Zeena sounds like a match for your family, please ask to meet her today.
Updates:Zeena is settling in the rhythms of her foster home. She already has many qualities of a trained, balanced dog. First off, she is housebroken and crate-trained. She goes right into a sit to wait for instructions, permissions, food, etc. She looks forward to her walks and heals beautifully—except if a feral cat looks too interesting! She doesn’t jump up (including on furniture), doesn’t counter surf (or she hasn’t seen the opportunity ), no door dashing, and rarely barks. She seems to enjoy attention but doesn’t get “in your face”.
Zeena is recovering nicely from her ear infections and skin allergies. Her soft coat and clear eyes invite kisses and hugs that she tolerates well with maybe even a little kiss in return.
Though she is new to us, she has remained calm despite the holiday craziness, and welcomed whoever she met.
