Sasha
ADOPTED 04/08/2023!
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?
Sweet Sasha was living in a home but was left in her crate 24/7 other than for breaks to go outside to the bathroom. She kept her crate clean and was sweet as can be, but remained living this way for too long. Recognizing that Sasha deserved more, she was surrendered to another rescue who gave her the chance to socialize with other dogs and people. They quickly discovered that this little lady loves dogs of all sizes. She is social and outgoing with her furry friends. Although they quickly fell in love with Sasha, due to an overwhelming number of dogs needing placement, Sasha was transferred into MAGSR's care so that we could find her a forever family.
Sasha is sweet, social, and a joy to be around. Although she lived in a home, she was not given many opportunities to be out and about in the household. Sasha will likely need a little time to adjust to rules and expectations of living in a home. However, she already has a good start as she is crate trained and does understand the joys of regular meals and loving people. Sasha will thrive in a home that provides her with the structure, routine, and leadership that all dogs crave. Training will also go a long way with Sasha. Not only will training help her develop a life-long bond with her family, but it will also help her become a good canine citizen. Sasha is looking for a family that enjoys playtime, cuddles, and plenty of giggles. If Sasha sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!
Herman
ADOPTED 04/08/2023!
, 
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 16
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Mr. Herman is a beautiful, mild-mannered, somewhat quiet and timid gentleman from the south. We know little about Herman, as he was an owner-surrender due to their inability to properly care for and intervene with his separation anxiety and fearfulness of younger humans. Unfortunately, all of this commotion has left poor Herman very confused, and as a result, he seems to be a little quieter than usual. As days pass, Mr. Herman is slowly realizing he is being cared for and is beginning to come out of his shell. So far, this young and healthy fella has been wonderful with other dogs, adults and older children who understand boundaries.
As with any young GSD, Herman would do very well in a home with a person or family who is familiar or is eager to teach him the ways of a true GSD by implementing structure, boundaries, routines and consistency. He is learning the ropes of what is required to be an obedient side-kick, how to walk nicely on a leash, and basic manners, but could use the structured training and continued guidance of how a GSD gentleman from the south should act!
Herman does love the attention and respect, and would be happy to show you he can be a good boy, but doesn’t want you to miss any time spent with him. For that reason, he will need to be safely tucked away if you plan to leave, possibly with a mind-blowing puzzle of treats to hold him over until you’re able to snuggle him again!
Herman would thrive in a home with a person or family who is familiar with or is eager to learn the ways of a true GSD - structure, boundaries, routines and consistency. Herman would be eternally grateful for the rescue, love and structure. In return, your face will be adorned with mostly sloppy kisses and a shadow in the shape of a handsome GSD. If this sounds like the perfect companion to your household, then ask to meet Herman today!
Motley
ADOPTED 04/07/2023!
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?
Handsome Motley was picked up as a stray at the end of the summer and brought to a local shelter where he tested positive for parvo. Fortunately, he was transferred to an emergency vet quickly, and he received the life-saving care he needed. As a parvo survivor, Motley is a superpup, he can never contract the disease again.
Having survived, it seemed that things were looking up for Motley. He was placed in a loving foster home through the shelter and started training. While working through training, his foster family noticed that Motley was uncomfortable when getting into a sit position and asked the shelter to look into things. Recognizing that Motley deserved every chance at an incredible life, the shelter had Motley checked out and discovered that he has hip dysplasia. Although hip dysplasia can often be kept in check with diet, balanced exercise, joint supplements, and thoughtful play options, there are also cases where surgery is needed. Knowing that Motley deserved the best, the shelter began looking for rescue placement to ensure that Motley could get the care he needed to move forward. MAGSR knew Motley was special and welcomed him to the family.
Motley is a sweetheart. He is friendly, affectionate, and interactive. He enjoys the company of his people and other animals. Motley's foster family did have kids, dogs, and cats. Motley was adored by everyone, but he was known to chase the cats. Motley is looking for a forever family that will provide him with the structure, routine, and leadership that all shepherds crave. This will help him develop into a stable and balanced canine citizen. Our team is working with our amazing vetting partners to ensure that Motley gets any additional care needed to address his dysplasia. Donations toward Motley's medical care are needed. Please consider donating to Motley's care as this will not only help him move forward, but it will also help us continue to support medical dogs in need. As we learn more about Motley's plan, we will provide updates. Motley is looking for a forever family that will cherish him for a lifetime. Could that family be you?
Ema
ADOPTED 04/02/2023!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Ema was confiscated due to cruelty and neglect. She and several other dogs were left outside in kennel runs filled with filth. Clearly underweight, needing medical care, and safer circumstances, Ema and her buddies were removed from the property. Although Ema began to receive the care and attention she deserved, it was felt that due to overcrowding at the shelter Ema would likely be most successful in finding her forever family if she moved into a rescue. When asked if we could help Ema move forward, MAGSR immediately put plans into place to welcome her to the MAGSR family.
Ema is a sweet, happy-go-lucky girl. Even though she has survived cruelty at the hands of her previous owner, she still enjoys the company of people. Affectionate and playful, it is impossible to be in her presence without smiling. As Ema has not lived inside a home, the rules and expectations of living in a household will be new. However, Miss Ema is more than ready for a new challenge. As is true of all young dogs, Ema will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. She is also hoping that her new family enjoys cuddles. Training will go a long way with Ema. Not only will it help her develop a healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. Ema is looking for a family that will love her for a lifetime, could that be with you?

Good With Kids: Unknown

Athena Mae and her buddy, Laika, were surrendered to a local shelter as their family felt they could no longer afford the girls. Recognizing that the girls would be most successful in finding a forever family through a rescue, shelter staff began reaching out to GSD rescues to see if they had openings. As many rescues have been sitting at or near capacity this year, finding placement wasn't easy. However, shelter staff kept up the search and kept the girls safe and loved until they found placement. We welcomed the girls to the MAGSR family for the holiday season this year.
Athena Mae is a friendly and interactive girl. She has clearly been well socialized around people and is happy to meet everyone around her. Full of energy and curiosity, Athena Mae moves about checking out the world around her. Most successful with a calm and confident handler, Athena Mae enjoys clear structure and routine as this helps her read situations appropriately. Although Athena Mae lived in a home prior to her arrival, we do not know much about her previous life. As is true of any new dog, Athena Mae will need time to adjust to her forever home. She will be most successful in a household that provides her with the structure, routine, and leadership that all GSDs crave. Opportunities to effectively burn her energy and challenge her mind will be needed on a daily basis. Athena Mae is developing new skills every day with our volunteers and seems to enjoy the opportunity to learn. Training will go a long way. Not only will it help Athena Mae develop into a good canine citizen, but it will also help her develop a strong, healthy bond with her forever family. This girl cannot wait to find a forever family of her own. If she sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet Athena Mae today.
