Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Handsome Homer was surrendered to a local shelter as his family felt that they could no longer care for him. Although Homer seems to like people, he is very submissive and a little jumpy with new people and situations. Recognizing that Homer would be most successful if placed through a rescue, the shelter began sending out pleas for help. When we learned of Homer's situation, MAGSR immediately stepped forward to welcome him to the family.

Homer is a big, handsome boy. He is curious and affectionate but does need adjustment time when encountering new people, places, and situations. Head shy and very submissive when being leashed, Homer may not have always been treated affectionately. He will need time to learn to trust that his new family will treat him kindly. Thriving on confidence and stability, Homer is looking for a family that will move him forward positively. As is true of all shepherds, Homer will benefit greatly from training. Not only will this help him bond to his forever family, but it will also help him develop the confidence he needs to become a good canine citizen. Homer is looking for an experienced GSD household that is ready to commit to him for a lifetime. If this gorgeous guy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today!

Homer, a shy dog, is waiting for his fur-ever home where he can shine!

Handsome Prince was a beloved member of his family. However, due to circumstances beyond their control, they could no longer care for him. Although surrendering Prince was a very difficult decision, his family knew that this was in his best interest as it allowed him to move forward. We promised Prince's family that we would find him a safe and loving forever home.

Prince is an energetic and playful guy. He loves to run around and play ball. Prince is looking for an active family. A family member with a good throwing arm would be an added bonus. Good with dogs, particularly little dogs, and cats, Prince enjoys the company of his furry friends. Having lived in a loving household, Prince is both housebroken and crate trained. Although he understands a lot of the rules of living in a household already, he will need a refresher in his new home. Prince has also had the benefit of a few training sessions prior to his arrival. However, he will need to attend training with his new family as this will help him not only bond to them. This will also help him develop the skills he needs to become a good canine citizen. Prince is looking for a family that will provide him with the structure, routine and leadership to move forward. Could that be with you?

Sable joined MAGSR when her family could no longer care for her. Although this was a very difficult decision, they knew this was Sable's best option for finding a forever home. We promised them that we would find Sable a safe and loving family. 

Sable is a young, beautiful girl. Curious but cautious, Sable likes to take her time when acclimating to new people and situations. She seems to prefer a calm but confident handler. As a young dog, Sable still has a lot to learn about the world around her. She will benefit from socialization; however, this will be most successful if started in a controlled environment. With time, training, and increased confidence, Sable will develop the skills all shepherds need to meet with success. Training will be beneficial as it will not only help Sable bond with her new family but it will also help her build confidence and stability. Sable will thrive with structure, routine, and consistency. As we are still getting to know this lovely little girl, watch for updates on her progress. 

Russell was dumped in a suburban neighborhood. This smart guy chose a house and decided to hang out on their doorstep. Fortunately, he chose a dog-loving household who immediately brought him in and started taking the right steps to try to find his family. Although they worked with the local shelter and lost dog groups, no one came forward to claim Russell. Without the resources to keep Russell as a member of their household, this family waited for his stray to to finish and began reaching out for rescue help. We knew Russell would be an excellent addition to the MAGSR family and stepped forward to welcome him. 

Handsome Russell is a young, energetic, and playful guy. Although we don't know much about his past, it is very evident that he has been socialized with other dogs and people. As a young dog, it is imperative that Russell's new family continue this socialization with new people, animals, and environments. This will help him develop into a stable and confident adult. In addition to regular socialization, Russell will need daily exercise for both his mind and his body. He will need an active family that can meet these needs. As is true of all young dogs, Russell will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. His new family will need to take him to training so that he can develop a healthy bond with them. Training is also important as it will help Russell become a good canine citizen. If this impressive guy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today!

Adira and her siblings - Isa, Knox, and Beckett - were dumped on a country road. Emaciated and clearly lacking care, these babies needed help and fast. When a kind member of the community discovered what had happened to the puppies, they moved quickly to help these babies find safety. Recognizing that these little orphans would have their best chance at finding safe and loving forever homes with a rescue, a plea for help went out.

Adira is an absolute doll. She has been fortunate to have been living with one of our amazing vetting partners who has worked hard to make sure she is happy, healthy, and well socialized.  Continued socialization is critical to Adira's success as she grows. Unfortunately, it was apparent when Adira arrived that she had suffered some trauma to her back leg. It seems very likely that she was hit by a car when dumped with her siblings. MAGSR quickly had Adira seen by one of our vets who recommended that she be seen by a specialist as she would need an FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy). This past week, Adira had her FHO surgery and is resting comfortably with the help of a few anti-inflammatory meds. She will need to take it slow over the next month or two as she heals; however, Adira is expected to make a full recovery. 

Please consider donating to Adira's care.

Although Adira is a love, please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy antics, they get into things, and they will chew on inappropriate items. With time, patience, and training, Adira will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to become. If this little girl sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!
