Pyro is a survivor. He and over 40 other animals (many of which were dogs) were rescued when their home caught fire. Fortunately, neighbors saw smoke rising from his 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 Pyro move forward in the safety of the MAGSR family, we immediately agreed. 

Pyro is a young, energetic and social guy. Friendly and outgoing with new people, Pyro has clearly had positive interactions prior to his arrival. Although Pyro has a good foundation, it is critical that his family continue to socialize him with new people, animals, and in new environments. As Pyro was living with several other animals, it is likely that he will do well with other dogs. However, as is true with all animals, he will need to adjust to other furry friends. Pyro is still a young guy who is likely still learning the ins and outs of living in a household. He is looking for a family that will provide him with the structure, routine, and leadership that all GSDs crave. With time, patience, and consistency we know he will thrive. Training is essential for this handsome guy. Not only will training help Pyro develop a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen. Pyro is looking for a loving and active family that will cherish him for a lifetime. If he sounds like the right match for you, ask to meet him today!

Big-hearted Buster joined the MAGSR family as an owner-surrender with two of his littermates - Buddy 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 Buster's family that we would find him an incredible forever family that would cherish him for a lifetime. 

Buster is a playful and affectionate guy. He bonds tightly to his people and fills their days with endless smiles. Although Buster is an absolute love, it can take him a few minutes to warm up to new people. He is gentle but timid at first. Once given a little time to adjust and trust, Buster's goofy side emerges. Having lived in a home with other dogs and older kids, Buster did well with the pack and enjoyed the company of all members of his family. As is true of his brothers, Buster 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, Buster will need time to learn the specific ins and outs of his forever family. As is true of all shepherds, Buster will thrive in an environment that has structure, routine, and leadership. A bit of a goofball, Buster enjoys playtime. He understands what toys are and is hoping that his forever family has plenty of them available. Moving forward, it is critical that Buster's family provide him with continued socialization and training. These vital components are essential to his success. If your family is looking for a sweet but playful companion, look no further than Buster.
