Rush
ADOPTED 06/27/2022!
, 
Good With Kids: Yes, older kids
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Rush was picked up as a stray in the south and brought to a shelter. Shelter staff immediately fell in love with this goofy, playful guy. However, due to overcrowding and lack of resources, they knew that Rush would have his best chance at finding the perfect forever home if he was moved into a rescue. When asked if we could help Rush find an amazing forever home, MAGSR stepped forward.
Wiggly and playful Rush is an absolute joy. Clearly well socialized with people, Rush is a charmer who loves to be with his people. Although Rush is clearly a sweet pup, he does still need to learn about personal space and boundaries. This is typical of any young GSD. In many ways Rush is still very much a puppy. He will fill his family's lives with goofy puppy behaviors and antics. As is true of all young dogs, Rush will thrive in an environment with structure, routine, and leadership. It will be essential that his family continue to socialize him in controlled settings. It is also critical that Rush's forever family exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. Training will help Rush as he moves forward. It will not only help him develop a strong and healthy bond with his family but it will also help him develop into a stable and confident adult. Rush is looking for an active family that will both enjoy his charming personality as well as provide him with a safe and loving forever home. Could that be with you?
Updates:Update: Rush is settling into his foster home well. This boy has oodles of puppy energy and is looking for a family that is excited to play, run, and train to exercise both his mind and body. He's still learning what is expected in a home and can be a bit mouthy, but he is learning quickly as we set boundaries for him. He is very affectionate, wanting to snuggle into our laps and be close with his people. He does very well in the crate while we are teleworking. He's not particularly fond of going into his crate yet, but he's learning and settles in quickly for a nap after some good play time or a walk. He walks nicely on leash, making the much needed walks a pleasure. He does very well with other dogs his size. He has not reacted to his alpha foster sister's sass and still wants to play with her after she tells him off which is very impressive! Sometimes he plays a bit rough and is still learning when other dogs are done, so supervision is important. As with most young dogs, he will chew on anything he can get in his mouth but we're working on learning what is and isn't allowed as a chew toy. Have I mentioned that he is beyond handsome? He's got these soft fluffy curls on his rump that we just adore! All in all, this young pup is a total blast, making us laugh with his adorable antics and impressing us with his intelligence. He's going to make a fantastic family member for some lucky family. Think Rush might be the right fit for your home? Apply to adopt today!
Sasquatch
ADOPTED 06/27/2022!
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 Sasquatch was picked up as a stray in the south by another rescue. It was clear that this big love bug needed some help. Fortunately, he met the right people. While waiting out his stray hold, rescuers worked with the local animal control to try to find his family. It was thought that a dog this sweet must have had a home. Unfortunately, no one came to claim Sasquatch. Recognizing that this guy deserved a loving forever family of his own, it was decided that Sasquatch would have his best chance at permanency if he was moved to another region. When asked if we could help Sasquatch move forward, MAGSR welcomed him to the family.
Sasquatch is a gentle giant. As an older dog, he has surpassed the stages of puppy antics and is settled in his personality. Happy to interact with other people and dogs, Sasquatch is a pretty easy-going guy. He likes his walks and play time, but he is also perfectly happy to hang out with his people. Although we do not know anything about Sasquatch's past, we do know that his future is very bright. As Sasquatch moves forward, he is looking for a family that will provide him with the structure and routine that all dogs need to thrive. Sasquatch is also looking for a comfortable bed, plenty of treats, and lots of toys. I mean, can you really blame him? As is true with all dogs, Sasquatch will need to participate in training. Training will not only help Sasquatch bond to his forever family, but it will also help him become a good canine citizen. Sasquatch is looking for a loving forever home that will give him the opportunity to live out his golden years in comfort and safety. Could that be with you?
Arrow
ADOPTED 06/27/2022!
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?
Arrow's family had him since he was a puppy. He grew up with regular socialization with people and children. Although his family loved him greatly, they recognized that they could no longer provide him with the time, care, and exercise that he deserved. As a result, they made the difficult decision to surrender him to MAGSR. We promised Arrow's family that we would find him a safe and loving forever home.
Arrow is a big, beautiful boy. At close to 100lbs, Arrow is a large guy with a good amount of energy. Born into a litter where several of his siblings moved into working positions, Arrow is driven and intelligent. A typical ball dog, Arrow is more than happy to make sure that your throwing arm is in good shape. It is essential that his forever family make sure that they exercise Arrow's body and mind daily. This routine will help him effectively burn his energy. Although Arrow already knows several commands, training will be essential with his forever family. Not only will training help Arrow bond to his new family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen. Arrow is looking for a family that will welcome him into their home with a solid routine and structure. If this interactive boy sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today.
Jazz
ADOPTED 06/27/2022!
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 Jazz was surrendered to a local shelter in very poor shape. Covered in demodex mange with a severe secondary skin infection that had festered to the point of open, bleeding sores and raw patches throughout his body, Jazz was clearly in significant pain from nose to tail for some time. Although shelter staff did everything they could to bring Jazz relief, they recognized that this guy needed to be moved into a rescue where he could begin working with a private vet to address his medical needs. When our volunteers learned about Jazz's situation, we began working putting things in place to welcome Jazz to MAGSR.
Although Jazz's condition has been left untreated for sometime and has clearly caused him significant pain, he remains an absolute sweetheart. Jazz enjoys the company of people of all ages. He is friendly and interactive. Not only does Jazz enjoy the company of his people, he also does well with furry friends of various sizes. He really is an impressive guy. At this time, Jazz is resting and recovering under the watchful eye of his foster family. With antibiotics, pain medication, and regular baths, he is beginning to find relief and can relax in the comfort and safety of a home. Jazz's medical needs are expensive; however, we know that this handsome guy is beyond worth the cost. Please consider donating to Jazz's care. Your donation will not only help us continue to move Jazz forward but it will also help us continue to support dogs with medical needs. As he continues to heal, Jazz is hoping to find a loving forever home that will commit to him for a lifetime. Could that be with you?
Zanya
ADOPTED 06/27/2022!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 10
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Lovely Zayna was welcomed into her home as a puppy. Her family immediately fell in love with her and began implementing a framework for success. They made sure she had all of her puppy vetting completed, had her participate in puppy training, socialized her with people and other dogs, and even began adult training class. Unfortunately, poor breeding put a stop to all of their hard work as Zayna developed severe hip dysplasia that resulted in a hip dislocation. Due to the extentent of the injury, Zayna needed a full hip replacement. Although they loved Zayna, her family recognized that they could not afford the level of care she would need in order to move forward. As a result, they made the difficult decision to surrender her to MAGSR in order to get the care she needed. We promised that we would find Zayna a safe and loving forever family that would ensure she had everything she needs.
Zayna is young, inquisitive, and energetic. It is highly evident that her family put a lot of work into providing her with experiences and opportunities to develop confidence. Playful and toy driven, Zayna understands the joys of chasing a ball or bouncing around with a favorite chew toy. Having lived in a home, she has a good understanding of the rules of living in a household. Zayna is both housebroken and crate trained. As a young shepherd, Zayna will continue to thrive in a household where she has structure, routine, and leadership. These are key features of a GSD savvy home.
Unfortunately, due to the extent of her injury, Zayna is unable to participate in many of her favorite activities at this time. Fortunately, our vetting team has already begun to put plans in place to help Zayna move forward. Placed on anti-inflammatories while she gets everything in place for surgery, Zayna is comfortable and seems to understand that she needs to take it easy for right now. In order to correct her injury, Zayna will need a full hip replacement. Although this is a very expensive surgery, we know that this lovely girl is beyond worth the cost. Please consider donating to Zayna's care. Your donation will not only help us provide Zayna with the medical support she desperately needs, but it will also help us continue to support other medical dogs. Over the next few months Zayna will need to take it easy while she rests and recovers. However, she should be back to being her typical self in time. Please continue to watch for updates on Zayna as she continues her journey toward full recovery.
