Pumpkin
ADOPTED 01/13/2024!
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?
The Fall puppies - Autumn, Cider, Ember, Maple, Pumpkin, and Sweet Potato (Tator) - were an accidental litter. Raised together with their parents, these dogs have had the chance to learn many doggy social skills. Although their human family enjoyed the puppies, it can be difficult to care for a large litter and challenging to find safe and loving homes. Recognizing that the Fall puppies would be most successful if placed within a breed specific rescue, their family contacted MAGSR. We promised that we would find each pup a safe and loving forever family that would cherish these babies for a lifetime.
The Fall puppies are very large babies for their age. They are clearly big fans of food. Having spent time outside, these babies love the sights, sounds, and smells of the outdoors. So, they are hoping their forever families love adventures. Although these babies have been socialized well with their doggy family, they have not been exposed to many new people or situations. Socialization is critical to their success. Recognizing that social skills are essential as the Fall puppies move forward, our amazing volunteers are already beginning this process. Learning the ins and outs of living in a household, these babies are learning the joys of endless toys, comfortable beds, and loads of love. As they continue to move forward, all six babies will strive in households that will provide the structure, routine, and leadership that all shepherds crave.
Although these babies are absolutely adorable, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless antics. With time, training, and patience, all 6 babies - Autumn, Cider, Ember, Maple, Pumpkin, and Sweet Potato - will develop into good canine citizens. If one of the Fall puppies sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet these fluffy bundles of joy today!
Updates:
She hasn't been in the crate since Thanksgiving and she's done super well. She plays some while I'm gone at work during the day by herself with toys with her foster sister, Sage, but mostly sleeps.
She only had two accidents in the house over a month and a half ago when she was going through her upset tummy stage, but tried her best to make it outside!
She likes walks on leashes and loves playing the backyard with toys, but mostly with her foster sister. She definitely would benefit from individualized leash training, (she does excellent when I only have her on leash and a family member visiting has Sage, but is a strong puller when I walk both of them together which is the daily norm).
She knows: sit, come, touch, drop it/ leave it, move (she's a big girl and can block you in a room!). However, she would still benefit from lots more training as she's so smart she'll look at you to respond to a command and if she knows there's no treats on hand, sometimes she'll turn away.
She took a 9 hr road trip over winter break with me and did excellent riding in the car. She also LOVED being in a house with more people. Every time my stepmom, dad, or sister would enter a room she would greet them for pets with a big wagging tail. She also did great playing with a third young dog in the house, and a fourth senior dog who didn't want to be bothered and she left alone.
In the short time I saw her in a family environment with other pets it's clear she would be a great addition to a family but she also does well alone with me. She might prefer more people and I would say she definitely prefers dog siblings to play with.
Fern
ADOPTED 01/09/2024!
Good With Kids: Likely

Fern is a true sweetheart-- eager to please and motivated by praise and affection making her a quick study! Fern loves to play with other dogs after proper introductions, and would fit easily into most pack structures. She is also enjoying snuggly cats. Typical of a young GSD, she won't say no to a game of "chase the cat" but is also very easy to curb. Fern walks better on a leash than most adult, trained dogs we've met and takes a lot of confidence and direction from her handler. She is very sensitive and needs a patient, positive hand to show her what you want, and boundaries to help her understand what's expected of her. Believe me, she will try her heart out for you! While she still has plenty of energy, she loves nothing better than a good snuggle on the couch at the end of the day. Would you like to be her forever snuggle partner?
Delgado

Delgado has had himself a rough time, he found himself at the shelter. One day he got adopted but shortly thereafter he found himself on the streets again and in another shelter.
Delgado is a sweet boy who loves zooming around and playing ball, he needs some manners but knows many commands. He received a gold star at the vet for his behavior! If you are interested in giving this boy his final forever home, ask to meet him today!!

Good With Kids: Yes, older kids

Zoe and her buddy, Nala, were surrendered to a local shelter, as their owner was not keeping them from wandering in their community. Having landed in an overcrowded shelter, both girls were living on borrowed time. Fortunately, shelter staff recognized that these girls were special and began networking them in the hopes that they would find rescue placement. When we learned about their potential fate, team MAGSR stepped in to ensure that both girls could move forward safely. We are thrilled to have been able to welcome them to MAGSR.
Zoe is friendly and interactive. She was clearly well-socialized with people. As an energetic girl who loves to romp around, Zoe is looking for an active family that loves an adventure. With daily exercise for her body and her mind, Zoe will be ready for chill time with her people. True of all young dogs, Zoe will thrive in a household that provides her with the structure, routine, and leadership that all shepherds crave. Although she has done well with other dogs, Zoe, like her buddy, does have a high-prey drive. As a result, she is not a good match for households with small animals. Having previously lived in a home, Zoe does know many of the ins and outs of living in a household. However, as is true of any new family member, Zoe will need time to adjust to the routines and expectations of her forever family. Given opportunities to meet with success, Zoe will rise to the occasion. As Zoe moves forward, training will be critical to her success. Training will provide Zoe with the foundational skills needed to develop into a stable and confident canine citizen. It will also give her the opportunity to develop a healthy and trusting relationship with her forever family. Zoe is a special girl that is looking for that incredible family that will adore her for a lifetime. Could that family be you?
T-Rex
ADOPTED 01/06/2024!
Good With Kids: Unknown

T-Rex was found wandering the wilds of the south and was on the edge of extinction before a kind samaritan found this poor fella! We don’t know a lot about him, but as we do get to know T-Rex, we are discovering that despite his poor health and emaciation (2/9 body scale), he has a very sweet demeanor and really likes everyone he meets! T-Rex is thought to be around 3 years old and is likely housebroken, but will definitely need training to ensure he learns proper manners and can be the best GSD he can be.
Given T-Rex’s past, he is eager to find the right FUR-ever family that is willing to give him extra love, time and obviously food so he can fully recover from his not so dino-mite past. T-Rex would really thrive in an environment where he is provided the basic necessities of a true GSD/furry family member - training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance.
If T-Rex sounds like the adventure you would like to emBARK upon, please ask to add him to your family today!
