Willow
ADOPTED 12/02/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes, older kids
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Willow's mom loved her beyond words. Unfortunately, she recently passed away leaving sweet Willow behind with a team of friends who promised they would find Willow a loving forever family. Willow's mom did everything she could to make sure that Willow would be safe and cared for even if she couldn't do it herself. When MAGSR was contacted to help Willow move forward, we knew that this sweet girl was special. We promised her caretakers that we would find her the perfect forever family.
Willow is a lovely lady. It is very apparent that her mom took exceptional care of her. She is eager to please and very snuggly. However, as is true of many shepherds, she can be a little timid around new people. Given a little time and some yummy treats, Willow warms up to new people. An intelligent girl, Willow is a quick learner. As is true of all new dogs, she will benefit from training with her new family. This will not only help her develop the skills of a good canine citizen, but it will also help her bond to her new family. Although she is going through a huge change, Willow has adjusted well with her foster family. She greatly enjoys playing with her furry foster brother. Good with dogs of all sizes, as well as cats, Willow is a friendly girl. She is looking for a forever family that will love her throughout her golden years. If this sweet girl sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today.
Tazanna
ADOPTED 11/29/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Lovely little Tazanna was living with a young woman who loved her but couldn't provide her with the care she needed. Recognizing that this was not fair to Tazanna, her owner surrendered her to another rescue so that Tazanna would have the chance at the life and love that she deserved. Although this was a difficult decision, Tazanna's mom knew that this was in Tazanna's best interest. We welcomed Tazanna into the MAGSR family as it was felt she would be most successful in another region.
Tazanna is a lovely little girl. As is true of many dogs that have lacked opportunities to socialize, Tazanna can be timid with new people and in new situations. However, when given a little time, she warms up nicely. Although her foster family is working with Tazanna to further develop her socialization skills, it will be critical that her forever family continue this process. A well-socialized puppy will develop into a stable adult. Already crate trained, Tazanna is making excellent strides toward becoming housebroken. She is also learning some basic commands and has already learned sit and come. This smart girl will be a joy in training class. Training will not only help Tazanna bond to her new family but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. Good with cats and dogs, Tazanna enjoys her furry companions. However, as a puppy, she still does some chasing. As she loves to play ball, Tazanna's foster family will be working with her to redirect that chasing to toys and balls. Tazanna is looking for a forever family that will commit to her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?
Freedom
ADOPTED 11/29/2021!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 12
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Lovely Freedom was surrendered to a shelter when her family could no longer care for her. As is true of many shepherds, Freedom was fearful upon arrival at the shelter. In order to find a safe and loving home that understands the breed, shelter staff began looking for a rescue that could help Freedom move forward. MAGSR answered the call.
Freedom is a beautiful, curious, and affectionate girl. She enjoys the company of other dogs and seems to understand many of the rules of the dog world. Although Freedom does well with other dogs, she is hesitant with new people. However, when new people are slow and give her the opportunity to warm up, Freedom is a loving and sweet girl. As is typical of all young shepherds, Freedom has some good energy. A big fan of playing ball, this girl would be happy to help her family strengthen their throwing arms. Freedom did live in a household prior to her arrival at the shelter. However, we do not have any information about how this went. She will thrive in an environment where her people go slow, provide routine, and have clear structure. Freedom's family will need to take her to training. This will not only help her develop a strong bond with her new family but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. If your family is looking for a young, athletic girl, ask to meet Freedom today!
Igor
ADOPTED 11/27/2021!
Good With Kids: Unknown
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Handsome Igor was picked up as a stray in the south. Although he was brought to a shelter where he waited for his family, no one came to claim him. Due to overcrowding at the shelter, Igor needed to get out and fast. When asked if we could help Igor move forward, MAGSR immediately stepped forward.
Igor is in many ways your typical young shepherd. He is young, playful, energetic and a complete goofball. It is very evident that somewhere along the way Igor was socialized with people and other dogs. However, it is evident that he has yet to develop his doggy manners. As a big guy, it is essential that Igor have the opportunity to develop these manners early on with his new family. Training will go a long way with this big guy as it will not only help Igor bond to his new family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen. As Igor arrived as a stray, we do not know if he has had the opportunity to live in a household. In many ways he is starting from a clean slate. Like all young shepherds, Igor will thrive in a household where he has structure, routine, and leadership. If this big, sweet guy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today.
Charlotte
ADOPTED 11/25/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
The young and vibrant Charlotte was dumped on a country road with her 7 puppies. Charlotte is still a giant puppy herself at just over a year old. This sweet little family was taken to an overcrowded animal shelter where they waited to be claimed. When no one arrived to bring them home, a plea went out for help. We knew this little family deserved the comfort and safety of a home and MAGSR stepped up to help.
Charlotte is friendly with everyone she meets including people and other dogs. At this early stage of her adult life she needs to work on her basic obedience and house manners. She will likely need to learn the ins and outs of living in the comfort and safety of a household. With structure, patience, and leadership, we know that Charlotte will thrive. Training will be a critical piece of Charlotte's transition as it will help her bond to her forever family while also building the stability and confidence she needs to become a good canine citizen. If this sweet girl sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today.
Updates:Charlotte is adjusting well to living in a house. She is crate trained and housebroken. She loves running and playing with her foster fur siblings. We are working on house manners every day! Charlotte can recall her to her name and sit (for treats of course!) She enjoys car rides and belly rubs !!
