Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Handsome Bruno was picked up as a stray in the south. This sweet guy immediately won over the hearts and minds of shelter staff. Recognizing that Bruno deserved the chance at a loving forever home that would cherish him for a lifetime, shelter staff began looking for a rescue that could support Bruno as he moved forward. When MAGSR heard about Bruno, we knew we could find him the perfect forever home.

Bruno is a young and playful guy. As is true of all young dogs, Bruno is energetic. His new family will need to exercise both his body and his mind regularly in order to help him develop into a stable adult. Bruno has shown to be friendly with everyone he meets. It is highly evident that he was socialized at some point. However, it is essential that his new family continue his socialization as he moves forward. Bruno will thrive with structure, leadership, and routine. Training is also important. It will not only help Bruno bond to his new family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen. If Bruno sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today.

Sweet Sawyer is a little love. She was welcomed to the MAGSR family as her household was not prepared for a surprise litter. Wanting the best for Sawyer, they decided to send her to rescue. It is highly evident that Sawyer was socialized well in her household. She is your typical playful, goofy, interactive puppy. Although Sawyer is an absolute love bug, 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, Sawyer will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to become. If this little love sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

Teddy Bear and his siblings, Anna and Jodie, were brought to a shelter when their owner passed away. Unfortunately, it was apparent that their owner had been struggling to care for these dogs for a while. Fearful and avoidant in the shelter environment, this little family needed out and fast. Knowing we could provide this family with the life and love they deserve, MAGSR welcomed them to the family. 

Teddy Bear is sweet but timid. He warms up for love and attention with a little patience. A big fan of kisses, this guy loves to come over for cuddles once comfortable. Due to the condition in which he arrived, sweet Teddy Bear needed to be shaved as his fur was so matted and dirty that it had caused a skin infection. Fortunately, our amazing vetting partners were able to help Teddy Bear get the relief he needed. With some regular baths, medication, consistent grooming, Teddy Bear is slowly healing. His lovely fur will grow back and he will once again have a magnificent coat. Unfortunately, we have also discovered that Teddy Bear is heartworm positive. This condition could have been avoided had he been provided monthly heartworm preventatives. We have already begun Teddy Bear's treatment. The cost of Teddy Bear's entire treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Treatment is expensive, but this guy is beyond worth the cost. Please consider donating toward Teddy Bear's treatment. Your generosity will help us save him and other dogs with medical needs. Although Teddy Bear will need to take it slow over the next few months while he undergoes treatment, this will give him time to adjust to his new environment and meet with success in his forever home. Teddy Bear is looking for a forever family that will provide him with the structure, patience, and love that he so clearly deserves. Could this be with you?

Lovely Lola was picked up as a stray in the south and brought to animal control. As is common with shepherds, she struggled at the shelter and needed out as soon as possible. Recognizing that Lola would have her best chance at finding the right forever home with a rescue, shelter staff put out a plea for Lola. MAGSR answered that call. 

Lola is an energetic, intelligent, and gorgeous pup. Curious and friendly with people, Lola is social. However, like many young dogs, Lola has not had the routine and structure that all GSDs crave. As a result, she will benefit greatly from training. Not only will this help Lola bond to her forever family but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. Fortunately, Lola's foster family has already begun this process and she is rising to the challenge. Lola enjoys the company of other dogs. She would be most successful with stable canine companions. Ready to put her past behind her, Lola is ready for her forever family. Could that be with you

Description: Elvis and Priscilla were abandoned by their family. Fortunately, when a good Samaritan found them, they moved quickly to get them help. Elvis and Priscilla were brought to a local shelter where staff immediately began addressing their needs. Underweight, under-socialized, and lacking vetting care, shelter staff recognized that Elvis and Priscilla would need some extra support to move forward. When contacted to see if we could help them find their forever home, MAGSR was happy to step up.  After several months in foster together and a trial separation it was determined that Elvis and Pricilla are not a true bonded pair as they do not appropriately care and nurture each other's needs.  In their best interest, MAGSR decided to separate them in order to find them the best permanent home possible for them to continue to grow and develop into beloved family pets.  

It is highly evident that Pricilla was not treated kindly by a male in the past as she is very fearful and nervous of men.  She will require a lot of time to build trust of any males in the household and bonds very quickly with a female handler.  She will need someone with experience to help build her confidence and earn her trust. She lacks appropriate social and behavioral skills towards both people and dogs but is not aggressive. Once she trusts you she is your quintessential velcro shepherd and will follow you everywhere.  She is weary of new people and will avoid them at all costs or will anxiously pace if she sees someone from a distance in the yard.  She would not do well in a city environment or in a busy household with kids running around.  She needs individualized attention and training to address her needs.  Pricilla is housebroken and crate trained.  She knows: sit, down, come and no.  She enjoys going for car rides and will lay down in the back for a quick snooze.  She LOVES all things that squeak to include balls, stuffed toys, rubber chickens etc.  Once you have Pricilla's trust she will greet you with tail wags, kisses, and want to curl up by your feet or next to you on the couch.   She has a sweet and inquisitive personality that is hard to resist. Training will go a long way in helping Pricilla build confidence and overcome her fears and anxieties.  Patience is key with this girl and you will have a loving and loyal companion.
