Lorelai and her ten siblings (the Gilmore puppies) found themselves in an overcrowded shelter in the south. The number of dogs needing placement is simply overwhelming shelters across the country. Unfortunately, these babies, like so many other dogs, were in need of help fast. Recognizing that these babies deserved every opportunity to meet with success, staff at the shelter sent out personal rescue pleas attempting to keep this large family alive. When we heard that the Gilmore puppies needed placement, our incredible team began putting together plans to welcome all eleven babies into the rescue. 

The Gilmore puppies are a social, playful, and interactive bunch. They have clearly had opportunities to socialize with people and other animals. However, this process has just begun. It is essential that their forever families continue to provide opportunities to socialize with people and animals in new and safe environments. This will help the Gilmore puppies develop stability and confidence as adult dogs. Training is also critical for these babies as it will not only help them create a healthy bond with their forever families, but it will also help them develop into good canine citizens. The Gilmore puppies have all settled into amazing foster families where they are learning the comforts and routines of living in a home. They are learning about toys, treats, and the joy of a good nap. As they move forward, the Gilmore puppies will be looking for loving forever homes that will continue to provide them with structure, routine, and leadership. Although these babies are cute as can be, 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, patience, and training, we are positive these babies will grow into incredible adult dogs. The Gilmore puppies will open for adoption on April 22nd.

Lizzy came to us from a small rural shelter in Arkansas. Sweet Lizzy was given up to the shelter with her pack mate, and how sad it was for her to know her packmate got adopted and she was still there. Lizzy was on the list to be euthanized when MAGSR stepped in to save this beautiful low-rider. Lizzy lived with a foster down south and her foster stated she is the easiest foster she’s ever had. There isn’t a dog or person she doesn’t want to meet. She gracefully interacted with the resident indoor cats at her foster's home and enjoys playing ball.

Unfortunately, Lizzy is heartworm positive but has completed treatment and just has another month or so of restricted activities before she is cleared. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided had Lizzy been provided with monthly heartworm preventatives. Although treatment is very expensive, this active little girl is beyond worth the cost. Lizzy's entire heartworm treatment has been covered. Donations toward her care are greatly appreciated as this will help us not only help this lovely girl get all of the care that she needs, but it will also help us continue to support medical dogs in need. Lizzy will need to take it easy over the next month while she completes her treatment. However, this will give her time to adjust to her forever family. If Lizzy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today.
