River
ADOPTED 02/03/2024!

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?
A river is a natural flow of water that provides nourishment to many things along the way. Much like a river, our latest addition to the MAGSR family, River, is sure to be a nourishment of love and snuggles to his furever family. The story of River is one of rapid change; he found himself in unfamiliar territory as an owner-surrender to animal control, and moments before he was scheduled to be euthanized, MAGSR swooped in and saved River from ‘drying up’.
We are still getting to know him, but his foster family reports that he is a near perfect boy! We believe River to be between 1-2 years old and has done an amazing job transitioning from his previous life to his new environment. River is housebroken and doesn’t appear to have issues with being put in the crate, including overnight. So far, River has been properly introduced to the resident dogs and cats, and hasn’t had issues. If he does find himself with a family that has cats, it’s best for those cats to be more on the ‘dog-savvy’ side, as Mr. River is quite curious!
River is eager to please his humans, but will need to be trained and given the opportunity to show he can be a well mannered boy. He will thrive in a home and environment where he will be provided the basic necessities - training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance.
If River sounds like the happy hours, days and weeks you would like to emBARK upon, please ask to add him to your family today!
Huntington
ADOPTED 01/31/2024!
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 Huntington has known the warmth of a very loving family, but unfortunately a family health issue has forced an unthinkable and very hard decision to do what is best for this stunning, smart, working-line, pure German Shepherd. While having to make the most difficult decision, Hunter's family made the right choice and we have a lot of information on Handsome Huntington to ensure he goes to the perfect family!
Huntington is a well mannered, housebroken, working-line GSD that has some training and knows many commands - he even knows how to “smile” for the vet for a teeth check! Since Huntington is of working-line, he is not for the novice GSD/dog owner and would do best in a household who is experienced with working-line GSD’s. This household will need to know how to provide an environment, structure, balance and the leadership needed for him to thrive.
Handsome Huntington is eager to please and is treat driven, something that will come in handy when reinforcing boundaries, training and teaching new commands. He is well versed in these commands: sit, down, with me, wait, curb, place, break, up, come, Gee (right), Haw (left), around, other side, peek-a-boo and so much more! In addition to his impressive working-line resume, he has lived with two older cats, has been around other dogs and kids, but is particular with who he will interact with - a steadfast trait of working-line GSD.
Huntington will probably need some time and extra treats to decompress. This will give him the chance to fully understand the change in his situation and that his new family will love him just the same, if not more! He is eager to please, but boundaries and training will need to continue in order for him to shine bright and show what a well mannered ‘Handsome Hunter’ can add to the right family. He will thrive in a home and environment where he will be provided the basic necessities associated with a seasoned GSD owner and a family familiar with the working-line breed of the GSD, which includes, but is not limited to ongoing training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance.
If you think you are ready for Handsome Huntington to blaze trails or snuggle up to, please ask to add Huntington to your family today!
Odin
ADOPTED 01/27/2024!
Good With Kids: Likely

Odin was absolutely adored by his dad. However, when unforeseen circumstances arose, his dad knew he could no longer provide Odin with the life he deserved. So, the decision was made to surrender Odin to MAGSR. We promised Odin's dad that we would find him a forever family that would cherish him for a lifetime.
Odin is an outstanding dog. He is intelligent, playful, and energetic. A fan of adventures, Odin is looking for a family that will give him daily exercise for both his body and his mind. This help Odin maintain a stable and confident personality. It is highly apparent that his dad put foundational skills in place to help Odin meet with success. Odin was well socialized in various environments and with various people. As a well socialized dog is a happy dog, his forever family will need to continue this process. A fan of other dogs, Odin enjoys his playtime and can be a goofy guy. Opportunities to socialize in safe and structured environments will be critical to maintaining these skills. As is true of all GSDs, Odin is looking for a family that will provide him with the structure, routine, and leadership he needs to meet with success. With a few commands in place already, Odin is ready to continue training. Training will not only help Odin develop into a good canine citizen, but it will also help him develop a strong and healthy bond with his forever family. Having lived in a household, Odin already knows many of the ins and outs of living in a home. He is already housebroken and crate trained! However, as is true of all new family members, Odin will need time to adjust to the specific routines of his family. Given time, patience, and structure, we know he will succeed. Odin is looking for a forever family that will love and protect him for a lifetime. Could that be with you?
Lucy

Little Miss Lucy was found all alone on the streets of a busy city. Fortunately, a good Samaritan found her and brought her to a shelter hoping she would find her forever family. Although Lucy waited to be reclaimed, no one stepped up for her. As a shelter environment is not a good place for a baby, we were lucky to be able to step in and help this little sweetheart move forward.
Lovely Lucy is an absolute doll. This little girl is in many ways your typical young shepherd. Lucy is wiggly, playful, and inquisitive. Fortunately, Lucy's foster family is already starting to socialize this little lady. However, it is imperative that Lucy's forever family continue this process. She will need opportunities to interact with new people, animals, and environments. These experiences will help Lucy develop into a confident and stable adult dog. Lucy is still learning the ins and outs of living in a home. However, this little girl is making great strides. Consistency, routine, and patience will help Lucy continue to meet with success. Although Lucy is adorable, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time and patience, we know that Lucy will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to become. If this little girl sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today.
Knight

Knight was adored by his family. However, due to circumstances beyond their control, they could no longer provide him with the life that he deserved. Recognizing that this big guy would be most successful if placed within a rescue, they reached out to MAGSR for rescue placement. Upon meeting Knight, we knew that this guy was special and would be an excellent addition to the MAGSR family. We promised his previous owners that we would find him an amazing forever family that would cherish him for a lifetime.
Knight is a big, handsome, intelligent guy. He was clearly well socialized with other people. However, he was in need of a few additional manners when he arrived in our care. Using his size to his advantage, Knight enjoyed pulling his handler behind him on walks and adventures. Although Knight seemed to find this arrangement acceptable, it created a little too much additional work for his handlers. Recognizing that Knight would need a little support as he moved forward, our volunteers immediately stepped in and began teaching him manners. A smart guy, it did not take night long to understand the rules and expectations in place went on leash. With clear leadership and direction, this big guy is quickly making improvements. Knight is already making huge strides with obedience; however, it is critical that his forever family continue this process. Training will be a key component to his success. Not only will training help Knight create a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills and knowledge needed to become a good canine citizen.
As a young guy, Knight has plenty of energy and an exuberance for life. He is looking for an active family that will take him along on their adventures. With a solid understanding of toys, Knight is hoping that his forever family enjoys playtime as much as he does. He is still learning to return toys when thrown, but we know these skills will develop with time. Knight is searching for a forever family that will provide him with the time, training, and endless cuddles that he knows he deserves. If this big boy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today.
Updates:Knight has moved in to Foster accommodations and has begun his path to learn about behaving himself in a house as part of a pack. He's still a big exuberant pup but is very smart and is learning quickly what is expected of him. His Foster is willing to take him to training as a part of the path to help him find his forever home. As a very large dog, it's important that he knows what is expected of him and how he's to behave. Stay tuned for future updates on his progress.
