Jethro
ADOPTED 04/05/2024!
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?
Sweet Jethro was originally pulled from a high-kill shelter in California when he was three. Although his family loved Jethro dearly, when circumstances changed unexpectedly, they had no choice but to say good-bye to this handsome guy. Recognizing that Jethro needed a safe and loving place to move forward, MAGSR welcomed him to the family. Knowing that Jethro was a beloved member of the family, we promised we would find him an amazing forever family that would cherish him throughout his golden years.
Jethro is a big, handsome, and patient guy. Having grown up with kids and other dogs of various sizes, he was well socialized with littles. The easy-going dog in the group, Jethro is not phased by much when around littles - whether furry or human. Although he was exposed to cats, Jethro has been a little too interested in them and will not be placed in a home with cats. With many of his GSD traits well established, Jethro is loyal, intelligent, and your typical velcro dog. As is typical of many GSDs, it can take Jethro a few minutes to warm up to new people; he can come across as aloof or disinterested. However, once comfortable, Jethro enjoys a good rub down and lean in. When a connection is made, it is strong.
Having lived in a safe and loving home, Jethro understands the ins and outs of living in a household. He is housebroken and cues nicely when he needs to go out. He is also crate trained and is content in his safe space. As is expected, Jethro is a little thrown by his new circumstances and is taking some time to decompress and adjust. Our volunteers have been working hard to ensure that Jethro has everything he needs. As Jethro moves forward, he is looking for a forever family that will provide him with daily exercise, snuggles, and a soft bed. Plenty of treats would also be just fine. If your family is looking for a gentle boy that will fill your home with unending love, look no further than our sweet Jethro.
Calandria
ADOPTED 04/01/2024!
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?
Calandria, affectionately called Cali, and her mom (Talia) were dumped at a shelter in the south in the fall. Cali was put out for adoption and Talia was sent to the euthanasia room. MAGSR asked for both dogs in the Fall; however, Cali was adopted out to the public. So, Talia joined the MAGSR family and moved forward in another direction. Unfortunately, at the end of January, Calandria found herself right back at the shelter. Her adoptive mom had passed away and, it seems, Cali did not have as many opportunities to socialize as we would have liked while in her care. With the shelter over-capacity, Calandria found herself in the euthanasia room that her mother barely escaped. When we discovered Calandria was back at the shelter, we stepped in and made sure she found her way to the MAGSR family. We do not leave families behind.
Cali is stunning just like her mother. Intelligent and cuddly once comfortable, Cali is looking for a family that will give her time to decompress. This girl can be unsure, but when given time and patience, Cali does well with a calm and confident handler. She will thrive in an environment with structure, routine, and daily exercise. Still a very young dog, it is imperative that Cali's family socialize her with new people, new animals, and new environments. This will help her develop into a stable adult shepherd. Training is also essential. Not only will training help Cali develop a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her build the skills needed to become a good canine citizen.
Cali is looking for a special forever family that will continue to support her as she moves forward. If your family is looking for a lovely, curious, and affectionate girl, ask to meet sweet Cali today!
Updates:From her foster:
So far she is super friendly with people and other dogs! She is learning house manners and crate training to prepare her for her new furever home.
Zoey
ADOPTED 03/24/2024!
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?
Lovely Zoey was brought home with a family when she was just a baby. Although they likely had good intentions at first, as Zoey started growing she was placed in the backyard and was not getting the care, attention, or socialization needed to develop into a stable, confident, and healthy adult dog. Recognizing that they couldn't provide for her, Zoey's family decided that she needed to find a new home. Fortunately, a good Samaritan learned about Zoey's situation and stepped in to help her move forward safely. Knowing Zoey would be most successful if she found placement within a rescue, Zoey's rescuer reached out to MAGSR for help. Our team immediately began working together to provide Zoey with an option to move forward.
Zoey is a young, energetic, and intelligent girl. She will need an active family that is willing to exercise both her body and her mind on a daily basis. Having lived a somewhat secluded life, Zoey is just now learning the ins and out of being a dog. She is being exposed to new people, new situations, and new environments. This process can be a bit of a learning curve, but Zoey seems to be adjusting well. As Zoey continues to move forward, it is critical that her family continue this socialization process as it will help her build confidence and develop stability. The past few weeks have been filled with new experiences as well as new people and new toys. Zoey enjoys the company of her people and often greets them with big tail wags and affection. As is true of all shepherds, Zoey is looking for a family that will provide her with routine, structure, and leadership. Training is an essential piece of Zoey's future. Not only will training help her create 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. Zoey is looking for a loving family that will give her endless opportunities to learn and meet with success. If she sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!
Banksy
ADOPTED 03/24/2024!
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 Bansky was found wandering around an apartment complex. He was clearly cold, starving, and in need of immediate help. Fortunately, a good Samaritan found Banksy and did what they could to help him. Bringing him to a shelter, they hoped that Banksy would find his forever family. Although he waited for his family to come and claim him, no one came forward for this sweet boy. Unfortunately, the shelter, like so many others, is sitting at critical capacity. As a result, Banksy needed out and fast. Knowing he would need a little help gaining weight, MAGSR pulled Banksy as soon as we heard his story.
Banksy is in many ways your typical young shepherd. He is curious, energetic, and loves his people. This little honey was incredibly fortunate to have joined an incredible foster family that is teaching him the ins and outs of living in a home. They have already begun housebreaking and are excited to see that he is so intelligent. Getting extra, high-quality food, Banksy is now getting the nutrition needed to fill his belly and help him grow. As Banksy moves forward, this guy will be looking for a forever family that will provide him with structure, routine, and leadership as this will help him thrive. His forever family will also need to ensure that Banksy has plenty of opportunities to socialize with other people, animals, and in new environments. This will help Banksy as he develops into a stable and confident adult. Training will also go a long way with this little honey. Not only will training help Banksy create a forever bond with his family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Banksy is looking for an active family who will give him endless opportunities to meet with success. If he sounds like the perfect match for your family, ask to meet handsome Banksy today!
Maggie
ADOPTED 03/24/2024!
Good With Kids: Likely

Sweet Maggie came to MAGSR as an owner-surrender with two of her littermates. Her previous family realized they were overwhelmed and couldn’t raise a large number of dogs the way they felt these pups deserved. So, they made the decision to surrender the pups to MAGSR. We know this was a very difficult decision, but we also know that this family wanted these pups to have endless love, attention, and opportunities. We are still learning about Maggie at this time. What we do know is she was loved and adored by her previous family and is looking for a forever family that will help her move forward with basic obedience, structure, and boundaries.
Here is what Maggie's foster has to say about her:
“Maggie is an absolute love bug with the sweetest eyes that speak volumes; she truly only wants to be around her people 24/7. She is not only the most adorable puppy, but smart and eager to please! It helps that she is treat and food motivated, as she is quickly picking up what boundaries are and what is acceptable behavior. She’s learning the crate isn’t a bad place, but a place to decompress and take a minute away from her large and furry foster brother. Maggie loves it when her tiny human sister gets her out of the crate, and greets everyone with adorable puppy kisses! She still has the faint smell of puppy breath and her coat is 100% puppy fluff! Maggie sure knows how to welcome you from your long journey (if she wasn’t velcroed to your side) from either the kitchen, bathroom, living room or even a long day at school/work with the most adorable puppy-butt-wiggles, puppy-hops all the while staring you down with 1,000% puppy eyes filled with nothing but love!
Maggie is doing very well learning basic obedience including sitting, walking on a leash, potty training while understanding what structure and boundaries are. She is always looking up for approval, and tiny motivational treats go a long way!”
As with any puppy, her furever family will need to provide the essentials - training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance.
If Maggie sounds like your ideal ‘FURever’ companion, please consider adopting her!
