Dean
ADOPTED 05/14/2023!
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?
Dean and his 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. If Jess sounds like the right match for your household, get your application in today!
JD
ADOPTED 05/14/2023!
Good With Kids: Yes

JD and his family - Jameson, Tito, and Precious - were living outside. The dogs were clearly well socialized with their family; however, they had not had much experience off property. When circumstances suddenly changed, their family could no longer keep them and began looking for rescue options. Recognizing that this little family needed help and quickly, our volunteers began working together to welcome everyone to the MAGSR family.
JD is a social, playful, and energetic guy. He clearly enjoys the attention of his people and other dogs. Although JD has been socialized with other dogs and some people, he has not had much experience in new situations and environments. Socialization is a critical component when raising a stable and confident dog. JD is living with a loving foster family that is beginning this process. However, his forever family will need to continue to provide him with opportunities to meet new people and dogs in varied environments. Having lived his entire life outdoors, JD is just starting to learn the joys of living in a household. As an intelligent guy, we are sure he will pick up new skills quickly. With structure, routine, and leadership, JD will thrive.
Although JD is a love, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with puppy antics. With time, patience, and training, JD will develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to be. If this handsome guy is the right match for your household, ask to meet him today!
Precious

Precious and her sweet baby boys - JD, Jameson, and Tito - were living outside. The dogs were clearly well socialized with their family; however, they had not had much experience off property.

Precious was clearly named for her incredible personality. Even with all of the recent changes in her life, she remains social and responsive to her handlers. Having lived with other dogs, Precious has done well with her furry friends. However, continued socialization in controlled environments will be needed. Precious is looking for a family that will provide her with the structure, routine, and leadership that all shepherds thrive upon. As she has endured a few big changes lately, Precious hopes that her forever family will give her some patience and time to adjust to her new home. In addition, she is hoping that her family will take her to training. Training will not only help Precious create a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. Precious is looking for a loving forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Novi
ADOPTED 05/08/2023!
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?
Novi and her family - Tej, Anshu, and Asha - were dumped on the side of a busy road in the south. With traffic flying past at high speeds, this little family was not likely to survive for long. Fortunately, a good samaritan saw what was happening and stopped to try to help the family. With an incredible stroke of good luck she was able to corral the family and convince them to hop into her car. From there she took them to a rescue friendly boarding facility. Although the authorities were contacted and a stray hold was put into effect, no one came forward. Recognizing that this family would benefit from rescue placement, a plea went out for help. MAGSR knew this family deserved the chance to move forward as a unit, so our team welcomed all four members into the rescue.
Novi is a stable, playful, and energetic girl. Clearly well socialized with people and adults, Novi is in many ways your typical, loveable ball of energy. She loves playing with her brother and still likes to know her people are close. Although Novi is already building a solid foundation of skills, it is critical that her family continue to provide her with opportunities to socialize with new people, animals, and environments. This will help her develop into a stable adult dog. It is obvious that Novi is an absolute doll, but 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, Novi will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to become. If this little sweetheart sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!
Updates:Novi requires a total hip replacement which will be WELL over $10K.
All too frequently people choose to inappropriately breed dogs that are not health tested, and this has led to an increase in young dogs being born with genetically poor joints, particularly hips in German Shepherds. Novi, at less than a year old, has found herself in pain as she navigates hips that do not have the ability to support her growth. MAGSR is committed to getting her the highest standard of care, which means having her on a pain management program, hydrotherapy, and a total hip replacement surgery. She will also likely need extensive physical therapy post surgery and ongoing monitoring of, and possible future surgeries on, her other joints as she grows and the joints mature. Novi has a team of dedicated veterinary staff and MAGSR volunteers helping her forward-- do you want to be a part of her happy ending? Donate to her care now, and share her story with others!
