Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Sometimes when it seems like everything is going wrong, the world shifts, the stars align, and things start improving. This situation reflects Mini Cooper's journey. This handsome guy was noticed as a local stray by an experienced group of rescuers. Lost, confused, and hungry, Mini Cooper wasn't sure if the people who had noticed him were there to help or to hurt him. So, he remained aloof and watched from a safe distance. Recognizing that this boy needed help and fast, particularly with the cold weather we have been experiencing, his finders worked together to safely trap Mini Cooper. Once safe, they brought him to a local shelter where he waited patiently for his family to come and claim him. Although Mini Cooper took this time to decompress and begin recognizing that most people are kind, no one stepped forward for this guy. As numbers are at critical levels at many shelters, once his stray hold ended, Mini Cooper was added to the list to be euthanized. Knowing this boy deserved a chance at a loving home, the same finders who originally rescued Mini Cooper reached out to MAGSR for help. How could we possibly say no to such a good boy? 

Mini Cooper is a sweet guy, young, and engaging guy. Wiggly with his people, this guy is happy to be safe and in a loving foster home. He is happily lapping up as much attention as possible from his handlers. Having been through so much over the last month, Mini Cooper is hoping for some consistency as he moves forward. He will thrive in a home with structure, routine, and leadership. We know he cannot wait to be in a forever home of his very own. Unfortunately, we do not know anything about Mini Cooper's past, but we do know his future is bright. Living in a household may be a new, but very welcome adventure for Mini Cooper. He is hoping for a family that will be patient while he adjusts to the routines and expectations of the household. Training will go a long way with this handsome boy. Not only will training help Mini Cooper develop a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Mini Cooper is looking for a loving household that will fill his days with adventures and his night with cuddles. This boy deserves a home that will cherish him for a lifetime. Could that home be with you?

Aspen is a senior MAGSR alumni. Her amazing mom welcomed her as a senior into her family and planned on ensuring that she lived out her lifes in the comfort, peace, and security of her home. However, when her mom passed away suddenly, this amazing girl found herself in need of a new home. Aspen was her mom's heart; she loved her beyond words. Knowing she would want them to have a place to grieve, rest, and find comfort, we welcomed Aspen back to the MAGSR family.

Although she has seen her fair share of loss, Aspen is sweet, friendly, and loving. Aspen is social, friendly, and joyful. She brings happiness to everyone she meets.

Sweet Snow was pulled from an overcrowded shelter over a year ago by another rescue. She had given birth in the shelter and was kept there while the puppies still needed her. However, once the pups were old enough they were adopted and Snow was left behind. As is true for entirely too many mommies in shelters, once the puppies found forever homes Snow was added to the list to be euthanized. Puppies, when healthy, often find their way home, but older family members are left behind. With shelter numbers in the critical ranges everywhere, this means many of the moms and dads left behind do not make it out alive. 

Fortunately, another rescue stepped forward just in time and saved Snow's life. They walked her through heartworm treatment and got Snow all of the vetting she needed to meet with success. Although they thought they had found the perfect home for this pretty girl, unfortunately, she was returned when a serious medical condition was discovered with her adopter. Knowing Snow would be most successful with a breed specific rescue, we were asked to transfer Snow into our care. Knowing this special momma was the right fit for the MAGSR family, our team welcomed her without a second thought. 

Snow is an adorable girl. Happy, playful, and a bundle of joy, Snow keeps our volunteers smiling from ear to ear. Well socialized with people and clearly comfortable having been exposed to other dogs, this momma has an amazing personality that she can't wait to share with her forever family. True of so many shepherds, Snow reads the handler well. With clear routines, expectations, and leadership, this lady settles in nicely. Having lived in a home, Snow understands many of the ins and outs of living in a home. However, as is true of all new dogs, Snow will need time and patience to adjust to her forever family. Training will be essential to her success. Not only will training help Snow develop a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, it will also help her gain the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Snow is looking for a forever family that enjoys a nice balance of daily playtime and a good snuggle. If Snow is the right match for your family, ask to meet her today. 

Star and her sister, Noel, were born into a loving household. They lived there happily with another member of their family. Although the girls were cherished, when an unexpected circumstance arose, Star and Noel needed to be rehomed. This was a devastating decision for their family. Hoping they could find them a home on their own, they exhausted resource after resource trying to find an option for the girls. With a system overloaded with dogs and the need to find safe options for both girls, their family had almost given up hope. With one last try, they turned to MAGSR. Recognizing these girls were something special, our team came together to ensure that Star and Noel could move forward safely in the MAGSR family.

Star and Noel are stunning girls. Both a little unsure with new people and in new situations, they need a little time to adjust. When given time, patience, and a safe surrounding, the girls warm up to new people nicely. Having lived with an older child, the Star and Noel would likely do well with calm and respectful children. Star is the more energetic of the girls. She is always ready for a little play time and can often be caught bouncing around with a favorite toy. Star is looking for a household that will support her love for playtime and adventures. She wants to please and will be the "Star" at training. Training is critical to her success. Not only will training help Star develop a healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her build the confidence needed to become a good canine citizen. Having lived in a loving home, Star understands many of the ins and outs of living in a household. She is crate trained and housebroken. However, as is true of all GSDs, she will need time to adjust to the rules and expectations of her forever family. Star is looking for a forever family that will cherish her goofy spirit for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet Star today!

Handsome Beta is an intelligent and active guy. He has been adored by his families, but due to circumstances beyond his control, this boy has bounced around more often than we would hope. Recognizing that Beta deserved a home that would understand his breed and his needs, his most recent owner decided it would be best if he was placed with a breed specific rescue. So, when she could no longer provide Beta with the kind of home that she knew he deserved, she reached out to MAGSR for help. Our team knew that Beta was the right match for the rescue and welcomed him to the family. We promised that we would find this guy an incredible forever family that would love him for a lifetime.  

Beta is in many ways your typical GSD teenager. He takes in the world around him, loves to keep his nose busy, and doesn't miss a beat. Having bounced around a bit, Beta likes to take a minute to adjust to new people and new environments. However, with a tasty treat he warms up quickly. Beta enjoys a bone to gnaw on and will happily smile and wait for something special. Having participated in some basic training, Beta knows a few commands, but will benefit from training. Not only will training help Beta create a healthy and lasting bond with his forever family, it will also help him develop the skills he needs to become a good canine citizen. Having lived in a household, Beta understands many of the ins and outs of living in a home. He is already housebroken and he adores his crate. Structure, routine, and leadership go a long way with this guy. Typical of young shepherds, Beta has a lot of energy and will require a family that can address his needs for exercise, training, and stimulation on a daily basis. A smart guy, Beta picks up new concepts quickly. However, as is true with many young dogs he can get distracted and needs to learn to stay on point. Beta is looking for a forever family that has the time, energy, and patience to help him grow up into a stable and confident adult. If this amazing guy is the right match for your family, ask to meet him today.
