Lovely Zara was trapped locally and brought to a shelter. Recognizing that this girl may have a family looking for her, shelter staff listed on their stray hold.  Although Zara waited patiently for her family to claim her, no one arrived to take her home. As Zara decompressed it in the shelter, it became clear to shelter staff that she had not received the care or socialization that all dogs need. It is critical that Zara is given time to adjust to new people and situations. Although shelter staff worked hard to help Zara begin to move forward, they knew that she would be most successful if placed with a breed specific rescue. When we got the call to help Zara move forward, we immediately welcomed her to the MAGSR family.

As Ms. Zara has begun to settle into her foster home, we are beginning to learn about her strengths and needs. We have learned that with patience and kindness this lovely girl warms up quickly. Due to her history and clear lack of experience, we feel that Zara would be best suited for a quiet household that will provide Zara with the time, patience, and leadership she needs to move forward. Training is an essential aspect of the recovery process, particularly, with a fearful dog. Training will provide a confidence building activity and a socialization opportunity which will help Zara gain stability and trust. Although her humans have failed Zara in the past, she is ready to move forward with a family that will provide her with the love and safety she deserves. Is your family the right match for her?

Handsome Adonis was picked up as a stray in the south. When his microchip was run it became clear that Adonis had a bit of a history. He had been abandoned, adopted, and abandoned a second time. However, even with all of the upheaval in his life, Adonis remains a friendly and interactive guy. When no one came to claim Adonis, several rescue groups came together to help this guy move forward. We learned about Adonis' need for rescue placement and knew that he would be an excellent addition to the MAGSR family. 

Adonis is a big, handsome, interactive guy. He does well with new people and portrays a stable and confident persona. Not only is Adonis a fan of people but he also enjoys the company of other dogs. Although we know that Adonis has previously lived in a home, we do not have any additional information about his experiences living in a household. Adonis is looking for a stable, confident and structured home. As is true of all shepherds, Adonis will benefit greatly from training. Not only will this help him bond with his forever family but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen. This incredible good is looking for a family that will commit to him for a lifetime. Could that be with you?
