Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Onya, previously known as Onion, was adopted by her mom a few years ago. They were an incredible team. With the help of her mom, Onya completed basic obedience, started scent work, and had the opportunity to develop more advanced skills. They brought endless joy into each other's lives with activities during the day and plenty of cuddles at night. It was beyond evident that these two were meant for each other. Everything was going according to plan and it seemed like they would bring joy to each other for many years. Unbeknownst to the pair, an unimaginable medical diagnosis was looming. Onya's mom received news of a terminal illness that would upend their perfect world. When she realized that Onya would need a safe place to land, Onya's mom contacted our team, shared her story with us, and asked for help. Our team did everything we could to bring comfort to this family and welcomed Onya back to MAGSR. 

Onya is a stunning, intelligent, and impressive girl. However, her world has shifted dramatically with the loss of her mom. The grieving process is difficult and can shift personalities sometimes causing skills to go a bit backwards. Until she has fully settled, this sweet girl will likely be skittish and potentially a little over protective of her people. Stability and confidence building will definitely help. Fortunately, Onya is working through this process with the help of a loving foster family. When the right match steps forward, it is imperative that Onya is given time, patience, leadership, and structure in order to make one final adjustment. With routine and clear expectations, we know that this lovely lady will rise to the occasion. Although Onya is in the midst of the grieving process, she does know many of the ins and outs of living in a household. She is housebroken, crate trained, and understands general household routines. However, she will need time to adjust to the expectations of her forever family. Training will also help Onya adjust. Not only will training help Onya develop a strong and healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her continue to develop confidence. Onya is looking for a loving forever family that will provide her with endless adventures and daily snuggles. If this amazing girl sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

Radiant Raven was, like so many others, picked up as a stray and brought to an overcrowded shelter. Although very sweet and affectionate with shelter staff, Raven was living on borrowed time. Shelters everywhere are drowning in homeless animals that are arriving by the droves on a daily basis. Shelters, rescues, and adopters simply cannot keep up with the overwhelming flow of animals in need. When runs became overcrowded, Raven found herself on this list to be euthanized. Fortunately, the right group stepped in and began advocating for Raven. They began making contacts up and down the coast and were able to extend her time enough to allow MAGSR to step in and welcome Raven to the family. 

Raven is simply adorable. As a pocket shepherd, she has a smaller stature and comes in a pint sized portion. Having been socialized by someone along her journey, Raven warms up quickly to calm and confident handlers. However, she can be a little jumpy with fast or unexpected movements. Once comfortable, Raven simply wiggles with excitement. It is clear this little lady still has many puppy like traits and will be more than happy to fill your home with puppy antics. Energetic, intelligent, and a fast-learner, Raven reads the handler well. She looks for direction, guidance, and leadership. She, like all shepherds, will do well when provided with structure and routine. We do not know much about her past; however, it is clear that someone along her way loved this little lady. Raven is looking for a family that will provide her with daily exercise for her body and her mind. Training will be key to her success. Training will not only help Raven create a strong, healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Raven is looking for a family that will take her on adventures, enjoy her antics, and give her plenty of snuggles. If Raven sounds like the right match for your household, please ask to meet her today!

Amazing Amir was found wandering all alone. Thinking that this sweet guy must belong to someone, his finder began working with animal services to locate his family. Although they searched for his family, no one came forward for Amir. When his stray hold was up and animal control released Amir, the decision was made to try to find rescue placement for this boy rather than send him to an already overcrowded shelter. When asked if we could help Amir continue to move forward, we knew this boy was destined for MAGSR. 

Amir is a big, friendly, and confident guy. It is very evident that someone along his journey socialized him with people and other animals. Although he has been through a lot over the last few weeks, Amir remains stable and interested in meeting new people. He is looking for a forever family that will adore him just as much as we do. As he moves forward, Amir will meet with success when provided with the structure, routine, and leadership that all GSDs crave and deserve. Training is also critical to his success. Not only will training help Amir build a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen. We do not know much about Amir's past, but we do know that he does understand some of the ins and outs of living in a household. He is beyond happy to stretch out on a comfortable bed and check in for bedtime snuggles. Although Amir has clearly had the luck of living in a home at one point, he will need time to adjust to the routines and expectations of his forever family. Amir is looking for a family that will love him for a lifetime. Could that family be you?

Guy and Fieri were picked up as strays in the south. When they arrived at animal services it was highly evident that they could use a little extra TLC. Underweight, dirty, and needing some medical support, shelter staff immediately moved forward to support both boys. Although the boys had clearly been through a lot together, everyone was simply amazed by how friendly and interactive Guy and Fieri are with everyone they meet. Although shelter staff did everything they could to help both boys move forward, they felt that it would be best if the boys were moved into rescue so that they could find a home with room for two. When asked if we could support Guy and Fieri in the MAGSR family, we immediately stepped forward. 

Guy and Fieri are a bonded pair. As a result, they are looking for a household that has room in their hearts and home for two dogs. Playful, interactive, and friendly with everyone, the boys bring smiles wherever they go. It is clear that these two know just how to win over the hearts and minds of everyone around. Both boys are good with other dogs. They also love people of all ages. Guy has had some additional medical needs having joined the rescue with a very intense yeast infection throughout his body. However, with time, attention, and the right medication, he has made significant strides. These guys are looking for a household that will provide them with structure, routine, and love. If your family has room for two, please ask about Guy and Fieri today!

Koda and his buddy, Zeke, were absolutely adored by their dad. Both dogs were raised in a loving household that clearly understood the ins and outs of owning, socializing, and training a shepherd. Although he gave them everything they needed and more, due to a change in circumstances, the boys' dad needed to rehome them. This was a very difficult decision, but he knew that the boys deserved more than he could give. When asked if MAGSR could welcome Zeke and Koda into the family, our team stepped forward to ensure that both boys were safe and loved.

Koda is a big, sweet, affectionate guy. Clearly well socialized with people and dogs, Koda has a stable and confident personality. He is patient, observant, and doesn't miss a beat. With absolutely stunning looks and a solid personality, Koda has the type of personality that easily wins over everyone he meets. Having lived in a GSD savvy household, Koda has been given a strong foundation for success. However, as is true of all shepherds, he will only thrive when provided with structure, routine, and leadership. An intelligent guy, Koda reads the handler well. He understands clear expectations and responds accordingly. When provided with consistency and routine, Koda rises to the occasion. As a young guy, Koda is looking for a household that will provide him with daily exercise for both his body and mind. This will help him maintain his impressive personality. Although Koda has had some training already, he is looking forward to attending training class with his forever family. Training will not only help Koda bond with his forever family, but it will also help him solidify the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Having lived in a household, Koda understands many of the ins and outs of living in a home. He is housebroken and crate trained. However, as is true of any new dog, Koda will need time to adjust to the routines and expectations of his forever family.

Koda is a very special boy who is looking for an amazing family that will love him for a lifetime. If you are looking for a cuddle bug with an impressive personality, look no further than Koda!
