Aspen
ADOPTED 03/04/2025!
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 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.
Updates:Aspen is such a sweet gem of a girl. She loves affection from people, and gets so excited to be around anyone and everyone. Having clearly been showered with love and affection throughout her life, Aspen loves to return this gift as often as possible. She is a low key kind of girl who enjoys getting to lounge around in her dog bed or going for short walks around the yard. A big fan of the outdoors, Aspen will even get a spunky pep in her step every now and then when outside. When hanging out with her people, Aspen is always willing and ready to accept a good back scratching and ear rubbing from anyone who offers. This lovely lady simply can't pass on a little extra attention.
In previous homes, Aspen lived with dogs. This trend has continued with her incredible foster family. Currently living with two dogs, Aspen has remained easy going and has done well when interacting with them. She also hasn’t paid much mind to the cats when they are around and is likely good with cats.
As Aspen is enjoying her golden years, it may take her a little longer to comply with commands. However, she will happily sit down to take treats and knows basic commands. She may not get around as fast as in her younger days, but Aspen still persists. She is determined to get where she is going even if it takes her a little longer. Although Aspen has seen a lot of changes throughout her life and moved about more often than we would have hoped, she has maintained her sweet, affectionate, and stable personality. She is looking for a loving home that will cherish her throughout her golden years giving plenty of pets, scratches, and giving her daily opportunities to enjoy the fresh air. If Aspen sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet this lovely lady today!
Snow
ADOPTED 03/02/2025!
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?
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
ADOPTED 03/01/2025!
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?
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!
Beta
ADOPTED 02/26/2025!
Good With Kids: Older Kids Only
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
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.
Apollo
ADOPTED 02/23/2025!
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?
Apollo's owner loved him greatly but struggled to keep him safe and in the household. As a result, Apollo spent too much time wandering about the neighborhood and checking in with the neighbors. Unfortunately, this resulted in too many trips to animal control. Due to his frequent visits, Animal Control decided that Apollo would be safer if he moved forward with a new family.
Apollo is a big, sweet guy. Although it is clear that he has not had a lot of structure prior to his arrival, he is a quick learner and seems to prefer a calm yet confident handler. Apollo has lived with a couple of cats and has done well with them. He seems unaffected by their presence and is calm with them around. Having met a variety of dogs in his travels, Apollo has made it clear that he can live peacefully with another dog. However, he is not a big fan of high-energy dogs who get in his face. We can't blame him for setting his boundaries. Apollo is looking for a forever home that will provide him with the guidance and routine that will help him thrive. He will benefit greatly from training with his new family. This will not only help him bond to his new family but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. If your household is looking for a big, laid back guy, ask to meet Apollo today!
Updates:Apollo continues to be a laid back and affectionate guest. As you can tell by the shot of him on my bed he is one LARGE bed warmer but space can be at a premium. He enjoys several walks a day and averages between two and three miles, which may account for his being laid back most of the day. As the weather has gotten cooler he tends to spend less time lounging in the back yard and more time on his day bed or on the rug. He now beats me to bed, but does give me room to get in! He is almost like a GSD in that he will follow you from room to room and as the other shot shows, he will put his head up on the corner of your chair to make sure you know he is there. Other than occasionally getting a little testy with oncoming strange dogs while on walks, he takes correction well and we are working on it. He is just a good buddy and has made a boatload of friends around the neighborhood.
