Madeline 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.

Lovely Autumn was adored by her mom who knew this pup was a special girl. When the unthinkable happened and Autumn's mom passed away suddenly, family members stepped up to try to provide her with the love and attention she needed. Although they made sure that Autumn had everything she needed, they knew that she deserved a forever home that could provide her with the attention, exercise, training, and care that all young shepherds need. So, they made the heartbreaking decision to surrender Autumn to MAGSR. We were honored to welcome this special girl into the family and promised we would find her the perfect match. 

Autumn is a smart, inquisitive, and playful girl. However, having survived such a large loss in her life, she is still working on transitioning to a life without her mom. Although she is sweet and affectionate, she is also timid and needs a little time to warm up to new people and situations. When given the chance to adjust, Autumn shows off her loyal and playful personality. Living in a foster family, Autumn is continuing to socialize with new people and environments. This socialization is critical and will need to continue with her forever family. Having lived in a home, Autumn knows many of the ins and outs of a household. She is housebroken and crate trained. Like many young dogs, she is still learning what toys are hers and what items should be left alone in the household, but she is quickly learning the difference. Although she does understand many of the rules of living in the home, Autumn will need time to learn the rules and routines of her forever family. When given structure, guidance, and leadership, Autumn thrives. Training will go a long way for this special girl. Not only will training help her develop a strong and lasting bond with her family, but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. Autumn is looking for a forever family that is looking for a loyal and cuddly addition to their family. Could that family be you?
