Buddy
ADOPTED 10/12/2024!
Good With Kids: Yes, older kids
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Beautiful Buddy joined the MAGSR family as an owner-surrender with two of his litter mates - Buster and Cooper. Although his previous family loved him, they were overwhelmed by the number of dogs in their care and decided that it was in the boys' best interest to find rescue placement. So, they made the decision to surrender the pups to MAGSR. We know this was a very difficult decision, but we also know that their family wanted these boys to have endless love, attention, and opportunities. We promised Buddy's family that we would find him an incredible forever family that would cherish him for a lifetime.
Buddy is a playful, energetic, and all around incredible guy. Living with a foster family, Buddy has had the joy of living in an incredible home where he is benefiting from personalized love and attention twenty-four hours a day. His foster family often compares sweet Buddy to an onion. Every day he opens up a new layer and reveals more of his phenomenal personality. Although it is clear this guy is special, Buddy can be a little weary of new people and places; however, when given a chance to warm up, he is eager to please and bonds quickly to his people. As a silly guy, Buddy even gets the puppy wiggles when his favorite people say hi. As is true of his brothers, Buddy is crate trained and understands that the crate is a safe space. He has also learned some of the rules of living in a home. However, as is true of all new dogs, Buddy will need time to learn the specific ins and outs of his forever family. Buddy, like all shepherds, will thrive in an environment that has structure, routine, and leadership. Food motivated and a huge fan of praise, Buddy will be the star pupil at training. Training and continued socialization are critical to Buddy's success. Socialization is important as it will provide Buddy with the confidence to navigate his environment. Training is essential as it will help Buddy create a strong and healthy relationship with his forever family. Buddy is hoping to find a forever family that loves outside adventures, daily playtime, and endless cuddles. If Buddy sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today!
Updates:Buddy has now been with us for three weeks. What a joy this has been. He has fit in very well and has learned lots of new things. His obedience training is going well and he has learned sit, stay, wait, paw, come, leash on and leash off. He is very active but settles down well at night time. No crate. However, he will go in his crate if you ask him to and is quiet. If you want a German Shepherd, like the ones on photographic pictures, he doesn’t fit that description. If you want a dog that loves you, is loyal, and just adores being with his people, he’ fit right in. He isn’t perfect, he’s just a puppy. He just loves to be loved and return it many times over. He greets strangers well and gets along with other dogs. He does still need to be supervised with cats but is making progress.
Cadi & Ryker
ADOPTED 10/07/2024!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Ryker and Cadi were the apple of their daddy's eye. He adored both dogs and ensured that they had everything they needed to meet with success. Living in a home filled with love, this special pair had endless joy, playtime, and cuddles. All was right in their world until Ryker and Cadi's daddy received a serious medical diagnosis. Rather than take any chances, Ryker and Cadi's dad and his family took steps to ensure that both dogs would be well loved and cared for if this diagnosis proved fatal. Although their daddy fought hard, Ryker and Cadi had to say goodbye to their daddy much sooner than anyone thought possible. The grieving process is just as confusing and painful for animals as it is for humans. Helping each other through this process, Ryker and Cadi have been learning to adjust as a unit with the help of an incredible foster family supporting them on this difficult journey. With their daddy, Tod, as their guardian angel, we know this pair will continue to move forward and will find a new home that will love them in their daddy's absence.
Typical of a bonded pair, Ryker and Cadi bring their own unique strengths and personalities to their relationship. Ryker, the male, is intelligent and playful. He relies heavily on Cadi, the female, for safety and confidence. She helps Ryker maintain stability and try new things that may seem a little intimidating without Cadi at his side. Known for needing a little time to trust before he is ready for snuggles, Ryker hopes his next family understands that with a little patience he will bloom. Cadi is the fun of the party. Happy to share her joyful activities with Ryker, she loves having her best friend at her side. A huge fan of toys that talk, Cadi is hoping that her next family has a “giggle ball" ready for her upon arrival. As a bonded pair, Cadi and Ryker are looking for a home that has the room in their hearts for two.
Fortunate to have had a solid foundation put in place, both Cadi and Ryker are fully trained. They understand commands and love to exercise their bodies and minds every day. Although they are on point with basic training, it is important that their next family continue the training process. This will help Cadi and Ryker form a strong and healthy bond with their family. It will also help them continue to develop the skills needed to become good canine citizens. Having lived in a loving home, Ryker and Cadi are house broken, crate trained, and understand many of the ins and outs of living in a home. However, as is true of any new dog, this pair will need time to adjust to the specific expectations, structure, and routines of their new family. When given time, patience, and leadership, we know they will adjust. Ryker and Cadi have been through enormous changes, but they remain incredible dogs. If your family is looking for a pair that is playful, curious, and ready for an adventure, Cadi and Ryker are the right match for you.
Miney
ADOPTED 10/07/2024!

Good With Kids: Likely
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Emmie and her seven adorable babies (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, Cal, Murray, and Bebe) were dumped at an overcrowded shelter in the south. Although Emmie knew that her future was uncertain, she also knew that the 7 little ones (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, Cal, Murray, and Bebe) that she brought with her were also in danger. As puppy season is in full swing, many furry families of all sizes are finding themselves in tough situations where, unfortunately, many animals do not make it out alive. Fortunately, for this special family, shelter staff began working with a network of rescues to find options, a loving foster family, and the medical support needed to move forward. MAGSR was lucky to have so many people pulling together to help this family move forward into our care. We are honored to move them forward.
Emmie and her pups have been lucky to have lived in a loving foster family. This gave them all the opportunity to learn some of the ins and outs of living in a home. All of the babies did an incredible job with their foster family and have since moved onto foster homes where they are getting additional love and attention in smaller groups. Miney is a confident and playful girl. She is curious and always ready for an adventure. However, when playtime is finished, she is beyond happy to curl up with her people. Having already begun socializing with new people, animals, and in new environments, Miney is already building a solid foundation. It is imperative that her family continue this process as she moves forward. Miney, like all dogs, will thrive in a home with structure, routine, and leadership. With the right set-up, we know this little cutie will be impressive. Although Miney is special, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, and training, Miney will become a stable and confident adult. Miney is looking for a forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!
Updates:Miney is a sweet, energetic pup who loves to play with her foster mom's two German Shepherds. She is pretty submissive to them and likes to follow their leads. As a water dog, Miney loves to play in the puppy pool and has even tried laying in the pool while sunbathing. She does amazingly well with dog puzzles and loves snuffle mats too. As is typical with many young dogs, Miney benefits from daily mental and physical exercise to keep her balanced; she loves the routine and clearly enjoys a familiar schedule. Playful and energetic, she loves to play fetch and will bring the ball back every time! Having experienced the joy of living in a foster home, Miney does well in the crate and is working hard to solidify her potty training. She sleeps from 9pm-5am every night! As socialization is critical to her success, Miney has had many opportunities to interact with dogs and people. When out and about she does well on leash and maintains social norms. It is very important that her forever family continue this trend. Although well-behaved with other dogs, Miney has shown that chasing the resident cat is a good time. However, since she is still young, continued practice with and clear boundaries with a future cat are still an option. Miney will be an amazing addition to her future family!
Miney is well-loved in her foster home and has a blast exploring the world. As a big snuggler, she loves to curl up under a blankie. Typical of a clever working dog, Miney does really well when given toys that keep her mentally stimulated - she loves her peanut butter Kongs and she's always up to a challenge when she has to work to find her food, like when it's spread out in a snuffle mat or a knotted towel. Now that she's up-to-date on her shots, she can explore all sorts of public places. She absolutely loves walks; as soon as she sees her harness, she runs to the door excitedly! She deserves a loving home with at least one loving human partner to take her on more amazing adventures. Will you be that home?
Bosco
ADOPTED 10/07/2024!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Aspen and Bosco are a bonded pair of senior MAGSR alumni. Their amazing mom welcomed them as seniors into her family and planned on ensuring that they lived out their lives in the comfort, peace, and security of her home. However, when their mom passed away suddenly, this amazing pair found themselves in need of a new home. Aspen and Bosco were their mom's heart; she loved them beyond words. Knowing she would want them to have a place to grieve, rest, and find comfort, we welcomed Aspen and Bosco back to the MAGSR family.
Unfortunately, both dogs have seen loss before and have said good-bye to their family a few times in their lives. It seems that for some, life simply throws one challenge after another. Although they have seen their fair share of loss, both Bosco and Aspen are sweet, friendly, and loving dogs. They truly are a special pair. Bosco is an easy going guy who goes with the flow. He loves the fresh air and a cozy place to hang. Aspen is social, friendly, and joyful. She brings happiness to everyone she meets. Together they are an impressive pair who are cherished by everyone.
Aspen and Bosco are settling into an amazing foster home. Their foster family is ensuring that they both have everything they need to feel safe and loved. We have promised to honor their mom's memory and provide them with everything she would have wanted for them in their golden years.
Zaniah
ADOPTED 10/05/2024!
Good With Kids: Likely
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Like so many other dogs, Zaniah was picked up as a stray and brought to animal services. She waited ever so patiently for her forever family to come and claim her. Although Zaniah's family did not come for her, she was lucky when another rescue stepped in and took over her care. They knew that this lovely lady was incredible and deserved the chance to move forward safely. Knowing Zaniah was heartworm positive, they placed her in an amazing foster family who lovingly walked her through treatment. As they got to know Zaniah, whose nickname is "Z", they realized this girl really was something special. Living with adult dogs and puppies, Z did well with everyone. Her foster family hadn't met such an incredibly solid dog prior to her arrival. Although the rescue and her foster family were very attached to Z, they knew that she would be best placed through a breed specific rescue. When asked if we could continue to move Z forward, we knew this girl was perfect for the MAGSR family.
Z is a friendly, affectionate, and intelligent girl. She picks up new expectations quickly and is responsive. Sweet as can be, Z was clearly well socialized with people and other animals prior to her arrival. Someone along her journey loved her and did everything they could to help her become a stable and confident pup. It is obvious they did a great job with Z. Having lived in a foster home, Z has had the opportunity to learn about the safety and comfort of a loving household. She did very well adjusting to the routines and expectations of her foster family. However, as every household works a little differently, she will need time to adjust to the expectations of her forever family. With time, patience, structure, and routine, Z will thrive. As Z moves forward it is important that her forever family participate in training. Not only will training gel Z build a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Z has been waiting for the right family that will adore her forever. If Z sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!
