Casper
ADOPTED 01/23/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes
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!
Zeena
ADOPTED 01/17/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes
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.
Gisela
ADOPTED 01/17/2021!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 12
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Gisela's family loved her dearly. However, due to an unexpected change in circumstances, they were no longer able to care for her. Recognizing that it was in Gisela's best interest to find her a new home, they surrendered her to MAGSR. We promised we would find Gisela a loving forever home.
Gisela is a friendly and playful girl. She is a huge fan of the ball and could play for hours if given the opportunity. As is true of many dogs, Gisela will out the ball but prefers to switch with you instead. In addition to being toy motivated, Gisela is also treat motivated; this will make training a joy. Gisela is an active girl who will do well with a family who can exercise both her body and her mind. If this active girl sounds like a good match for your household, please ask to meet her today.
Ernie
ADOPTED 01/17/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Sweet Ernie was found wandering around in an unsafe area. Fortunately, some kind people found him and brought him to the safe location where he waited for a family to come and claim him. When no one came for Ernie, he was welcomed into the MAGSR family with the promise that we would find him a loving forever home. Ernie is as sweet as they come. He is friendly with both people and dogs. In many ways Ernie is a blank slate who is ready to move forward with his new family. Like all dogs, Ernie will benefit from training as it will not only help him integrate into his new family, but it will also help him become a good canine citizen. Ernie is looking for a forever family that will commit to him for a lifetime. If Ernie sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today.
Updates:Ernie is a sweet and gentle dog. He is good with the resident dogs in the foster's home and really wants to play but due to just being neutered he isn't allowed. He is housebroken and crate trained. Ernie loves to go to the doggie toy box to get toys out, bones are his favorite. Ernie has picked up one or two things that are not toys and responds when you say drop it. He is a big puppy that loves attention and he wants to please his human. He is going to make someone a great family dog.
Linus
ADOPTED 01/16/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Sweet Linus has been passed around a few times over his short line. His most recent household decided they no longer wanted him and the easiest solution was to end his life. Fortunately, another rescue found out about Linus' fate and was able to save him before it was too late. Recognizing they could not provide Linus with the options he deserved, he was transferred to MAGSR to find a loving forever home.
Although Linus has lacked the love and kindness he deserved prior to his rescue placement, he has remained a sweet and affectionate boy. Linus enjoys the company of people and is a big fan of kids. He is already a big guy and he will continue to grow over the next several months. Linus will do well in a household where he is provided with the patience, guidance, and leadership that all shepherds crave. If Linus sounds like a good match for your household, ask to meet him today.
