Falcor
ADOPTED 08/31/2024!
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?
Fabulous Falcor was picked up as a stray in the south. Brought to a shelter sitting at critical capacity in January, Falcor hoped a family would come quick and claim him. Although he did well with other people and dogs, the minute his stray hold lifted, Falcor was placed on the list to be euthanized as spaces are simply not available. Recognizing that Falcor deserved a chance to move forward, another rescue pulled him and began addressing his medical needs. Falcor did very well in the other rescue; however, they knew that this handsome guy would be most successful if placed within a breed specific rescue. When asked if we could welcome this guy into the MAGSR family, our team stepped forward and the rest is history.
When he first arrived at the shelter, Falcor was underweight, dirty, and positive for heartworm. Fortunately, since arriving in rescue care, his medical needs have been addressed. Falcor is now a good size, a stunning guy, and has completed the large majority of his heartworm treatment. He will be off restriction in another week or so and will be able to go back to being a typical dog again. As is true of many young dogs, Falcor will thrive with structure, routine, consistency, and leadership. Outgoing and interactive, Falcor has typical young dog energy. Without much in the way of training or leash manners, prior to his arrival, Falcor is, in many ways, a clean slate. Our volunteers are already working with him to develop these skills. A smart guy, Falcor is looking for a calm and confident handler that will take him on daily adventures keeping both his body and his mind engaged. Training will go a long way with this boy. Not only will training help Falcor build a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help Falcor develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Falcor is a stunning young guy who is looking for an active family that will cherish him for a lifetime, could that family be you?
Updates:
After even just a week, we could tell that Falcor is a big white pillowy snuggler. If he is not playing with his big foster brother, then he wants to lean in for all the love he can get. Falcor and his foster mom go on strolls in town and he does very well on a leash with minimal pulling and minimal squirrel chasing. True to his GSD nature, he's much calmer all-around when he's had time to exert some of his energy. Luckily, he loves to play with his foster fur-brother which helps to tire him out! His foster fur-sister is also helping him learn social cues and he picks up on them nicely and corrects himself. Like all of our MAGSR pups, Falcor is lucky to have a strong, confident handler in his foster mom and instructive fur-siblings. Despite only being in his foster home for only a short time, it has been great. A clever boy, Falcor has quickly settled in and is learning his routine and household expectations.
Pebbles
ADOPTED 08/28/2024!
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?
Pebbles is a survivor. She and over 40 other animals (many of which were dogs) were rescued when their home caught fire. Fortunately, neighbors saw smoke rising from her home and called for help. In a matter of minutes, the family (both human and canine) lost their home. A local shelter welcomed all of the animals from the fire into their care. However, with such a large number of animals needing help to move forward, they began reaching out to local groups with the hope that the animals involved in the fire would find safe and loving forever families. As survivors, the shelter knew that these animals may need a little extra time and patience to heal from the trauma of the fire. When asked if we could help Pebbles move forward in the safety of the MAGSR family, we knew that this lovely girl deserved every opportunity to find a forever family.
Pebbles is absolutely stunning. As an intelligent and curious girl, she is interested in exploring the world around her. However, as a trauma survivor, Pebbles needs time to adjust to new people and new situations. She does very well when given time and patience. Once comfortable, Pebbles is a sweet and loving girl. Recognizing that Pebbles would be most successful if given the chance to build confidence, MAGSR placed her with one of our training partners to set her up for success. Pebbles has greatly benefited from training; however, it is critical that her forever family continue this process. Training will not only help Pebbles create a strong, healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Pebbles is looking for an amazing forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. If this special lady sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!
Nala
ADOPTED 08/18/2024!
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?
Beautiful Nala is the mother of the Fall puppies - Autumn, Cider, Ember, Maple, Pumpkin, and Sweet Potato (Tator) - and the mate to Simba. Having had an accidental litter last year, their family recognized that it is very difficult to properly train, care for, and provide adequate stimulation for a large number of dogs. Recognizing that this special furry family would be most successful if placed within a breed specific rescue, their family contacted MAGSR. Last fall, dad (Simba) and the Fall puppies were all surrendered to MAGSR. Although we offered to welcome mom (Nala) when the remainder of the furry family was surrendered, Nala's owners wanted to keep her. Unfortunately, circumstances changed almost a year later and Nala needed immediate placement. With a no family left behind policy, our team did not think twice when asked to welcome Nala. With the last member of this family in our care, we will continue our mission to find safe and loving forever homes for every member of the family.
Nala moved into the rescue a few weeks ago. Although she was loved by her family, she was not given many opportunities to socialize outside of her family (both human and canine). She had lived on her family's property throughout her life and did not take many trips out and about. As a result, she is a little overwhelmed by all of the changes happening right now. Our team has been working with Nala to provide her with socialization in controlled settings, with new people, and animals. We are also beginning to teach basic manners and training. Training, as is true with all dogs, is key to Nala's success. It is critical that her forever family continue Nala's socialization and get into a solid training program. Not only will this help Nala develop a healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the confidence and stability needed to become a good canine citizen. Nala is an intelligent and active girl, who is looking for a family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that family be you?
Cal
ADOPTED 08/18/2024!
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. Cal is friendly, goofy, and an interactive guy. He loves his furry siblings but is also happy to hang out with other dogs and people. Having already begun socializing with new people, animals, and in new environments, Cal is already building a solid foundation. It is imperative that his family continue this process as he moves forward. Cal, like all dogs, will thrive in a home with structure, routine, and leadership. With the right set-up, we know this little sweetheart will be impressive. Although Cal 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, Cal will become a stable and confident adult. Cal is looking for a forever family that will cherish him for a lifetime. If he sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today!
Updates:Cal is our little kisser – he is a ball of energy and loves to play and then check in for a kiss. He loves to play with his brother Murray and explore every inch of the backyard. He is very bright and curious. He has figured out how to open the gate in the kitchen if it is not locked! He is beginning to recognize potty expectations, but hey, he is only 10 weeks old, so he misses sometimes. He's a typical puppy so messes are expected! He is also starting to work on leash walking a bit in the yard.
Meenie

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. Meenie is a sweet and snuggly girl who loves other dogs of all sizes and thinks that cats could be pretty cool too, if only they'd play with her. Meenie loves her chew toys and is slowly catching on to the joys of fetch. Meenie is an intelligent observer pup - she's bold enough to approach a stranger or new animal and smart enough to take their cues regarding how to proceed. Meenie is already well on her way to being crate trained and housebroken with only an occasional accident in the home. Like any puppy, she thrives when supported by clear boundaries, patience, and a mountain of love and chew toys. This is so helpful when learning the routines of her home. Having already begun socializing with new people, animals, and in new environments, Meenie is already building a solid foundation. It is imperative that her family continue this process as she moves forward. With the right set-up, we know this little darling will be impressive.

Updates:She is an absolute doll. Showing how smart of a gal she is, she's doing great learning potty training and crate training. She's an absolute cuddlebug and loves every dog and person that she's met.
