Laika and her buddy, Athena Mae, 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. 

Laika is a stunning lady. This intelligent girl enjoys the company of her people. Given clear direction and a confident handler, Laika is very responsive to the handler and quickly picks up new skills. Although Laika lived in a home prior to her arrival, we do not much about her previous life. As is true of any new dog, Laika 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. Laika is picking up new skills every day with our volunteers and seems to enjoy the opportunity to learn. Training will go a long way with this lovely lady. Not only will it help Laika develop into a good canine citizen, but it will also help her develop a strong and healthy bond with her forever family. Laika is patiently waiting for a forever family of her very own. Could that be with you?

Lovely Piper was confiscated by a local shelter as she, and another dog, were victims of medical neglect. Recognizing that both dogs needed help, the shelter got them to safety and began evaluating options. As the dogs needed a significant amount of care, rescue pleas were sent out. Piper's buddy found placement immediately. When we learned about Piper's needs, our team decided that she would be a great addition to the MAGSR family. 

Piper's medical is extensive at this time. She arrived at the shelter emaciated, covered in flea dermatitis with open sores, unsteady on her feet, and carrying a baseball sized growth on her back leg. The shelter began the process of getting Piper comfortable and MAGSR has taken over her care. Our vetting team is working hard to address Piper's needs and ensure that she moves forward comfortably. Throughout this process Piper has been an absolute doll. She is gentle, affectionate and seems to adore anyone and everyone that gives her an ounce of attention. Although Piper has clearly been through a lot, she remains a sweetheart. Piper's care is expensive but she is beyond worth the cost. Please consider donating to Piper's care so that we can provide her with the medical support she needs while also helping other medical dogs.

Piper is a special girl. She is looking for a forever family that will provide her with the comfort, stability, and love that she deserves. Piper is a lovable girl who will bring endless snuggles to her forever family. If Piper sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today.
