Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Handsome Luca was seen being dumped out of a car a few weeks ago. The good Samaritan that witnessed this act had to make a quick decision - follow the person that dumped Luca or get Luca to safety. Fortunately, Luca's safety was top priority. He was quickly picked-up and brought into the comfort of the good Samaritan's home until animal services could get involved. Once animal services took over, Luca was able to get the care he needed while waiting for a decision about his next placement. Although Luca did well while waiting for his stray hold to end, animal services knew that this big guy would be best placed in a rescue where a GSD savvy home could be found. When asked to welcome Luca into the MAGSR family, we immediately stepped forward. 

Luca means bringer of light. This name is quite fitting for this guy as this big, silly, playful guy keeps you smiling with his antics. Luca is a very large boy with a very large personality. He is looking for an experienced household as he portrays some strong GSD traits. As is true of all young shepherds, Luca will benefit from a household that will provide him with the structure, routine, and leadership that shepherds crave. Food and ball motivated, Luca is more than happy to work for treats and attention. In fact, this boy has already begun to learn a few basic commands. Luca knows sit, paw, and down. He also knows to out the ball when asked. Training is essential as Luca needs to learn to trust that this forever family will commit to him for a lifetime. In addition, training will help Luca develop into a stable and confident good canine citizen. If Luca sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today. 

Jill, her mom, and her six siblings - Amy, Joe, Mikey, Monica, Phoebe, and Rachael - were dumped on a country road in the south. Covered in ringworm, emaciated, and clearly not well cared for, this little family needed help and quickly. Fortunately, a good samaritan found this family and got them to the safety of a shelter. Although shelter staff did a wonderful job getting this family the help they needed, they knew that moms and puppies do not belong in a shelter environment. As a result, a rescue plea went out. When we heard that this little family needed help, MAGSR immediately stepped forward. 

Jill's loving, affectionate, and playful. She is everything that a puppy should be. Although this little girl is a doll, please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy energy and antics. They get into things, whine, and will chew on inappropriate items. With time, patience, and training, Jill will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to become. Jill is looking for a loving forever household that will commit to her for a lifetime. If your family is looking for puppy kisses, antics, and wiggles, please ask to meet Jill today. 

Lovely Katie Ann was picked up as a stray and sheltered by another rescue while they waited for her stray hold. Unfortunately, no one came forward to claim this lovely girl. Although they enjoyed their time with Katie Ann, the rescue caring for her felt that she would be most likely to find her forever family if she moved into a breed specific rescue. When asked if we could help Katie Ann take the next step toward her forever home, MAGSR immediately stepped forward.

Katie Ann is an affectionate and friendly girl especially with her people. She greatly enjoys the company of the people within her sphere and seems to understand the ins and outs of living with a family. However, as is true with most shepherds, Katie Ann will overbond if given the opportunity. This can cause her to become overprotective of her people, her property, and her home. In order to meet with success, Katie Ann is looking for an experienced household that will work with her to develop a healthy relationship. Boundaries and clear expectations are very helpful to her success. Katie Ann will thrive with routine, leadership, and structure. Training will also go a long way with this lovely girl. Not only will training help Katie Ann bond to her forever family, but it will also help her develop into a good and stable canine citizen. Katie Ann has already begun to learn some basics with our volunteers, but she will flourish with continued training. Although Katie Ann can be walked calmly in areas with other dogs, she is looking for a home where she is the only dog. Best placed with a confident handler, Katie Ann is looking for an active family that will commit to her for a lifetime. If this lovely lady sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today. 

Lovely Koda was adopted out as a young adult. She lived in a household with young children and a cat. Although she did well with everyone in the household, Koda's family could no longer care for her. As a result, they surrendered her to a shelter. Knowing Koda was a MAGSR dog, the shelter called us to let us know that they had Koda in their care. We immediately asked to bring Koda back into the MAGSR family. 

Koda is a lovely lady. She is sweet and affectionate. Having lived in a household prior to her return, Koda understands many of the ins and outs of living in a home; however, she will need a little time to adjust to the expectations in her forever family's home. Koda has lived with a cat but has been known to do a little chasing from time to time. In her foster home, Koda lives with other dogs and has done very well. She seems to enjoy pack life and does well in a stable pack. A big fan of fetch, Koda loves to get her daily exercise in while running around after a ball. She is also a big fan of her daily walks.

As happens as we get older, Koda has developed a few age related medical conditions. She does have pannus and will require daily eye medication in order to keep her comfortable. Fortunately, her medication is easy to find Koda is good about having it applied. In addition, Koda has developed some arthritis. As a result, it is unlikely that she will not be running marathons in her forever home. Although Koda has a few additional medical needs, she is a fantastic companion who enjoys spending time with her people. If your family is looking for a mature lady with a love for snuggles, please consider adding Koda to your family. 

Lokki and his sister, Meka, were confiscated with a large number of dogs. Due to the nature of their seizure, both pups remained with animal control for a few months until they could be released. Although shelter staff worked hard to make sure both dogs had what they needed, they knew that placement through a rescue would be best. When asked if we could bring these two babies into the MAGSR family, we immediately stepped forward. 

Lokki is a curious and intelligent guy. Although he is a survivor, he maintains a friendly personality. With all that Lokki has endured, he has not had the opportunity to work through many of his puppy antics. As a result, this handsome guy is still learning the dos and don'ts of puppyhood. However, with patience and consistency, he is making great strides. As a young pup, Lokki has a lot of energy. He is looking for a family that can exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. As Lokki and Meka lacked the opportunity to explore the world as young pups, they both have many puppy-like traits at this time. Both will thrive in households where structure, guidance, and leadership are provided consistently. Training will go a long way with Lokki. Not only will this help her bond to his new family, but it will also help him develop into a stable and confident canine citizen. If this handsome and interactive guy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today!
