Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Sweet Samantha and her handsome brother, Niklaus, were part of a litter of babies that were lucky to be living in a loving home. Although their brothers and sisters found forever families of their own, these two babies were not as lucky.  Recognizing that both pups would be most successfully placed in loving forever families if they were part of a breed specific rescue, their family decided to surrender them to MAGSR. We promised we would find both babies incredible forever families that would cherish them for a lifetime.

Samantha is active, intelligent, and adorable. This little lady has been well-socialized with people and other animals. However, it is imperative that her forever family continue this process in order to help Samantha develop into a stable and confident adult. Samantha is living with one of our incredible foster families. They are working with her as she learns the ins and outs of living in a home. As a smart girl, Samantha is already starting to pick up new routines and expectations. As Samantha moves forward, training will be essential to her success. Not only will training help Samantha develop a strong and healthy relationship with her family, but it will also help her become a good canine citizen. 

Although Samantha is an absolute doll, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, routine, and training, Samantha will develop into an amazing dog. If this little lady sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

Handsome Sawyer was returned to the rescue when his family could no longer provide him with the time, attention, and care that they knew he deserved. Recognizing that Sawyer would thrive in a household that could meet the needs of a young shepherd, they returned him to our care. We promised that we would find Sawyer the perfect match so that he could move forward. 

Sawyer is a stunning and intelligent guy. Young, playful, and energetic, he is looking for a family that will help him meet with success. Sawyer's family will need to provide him with daily exercise for both his mind and his body. This will help him burn some of his puppy-like energy as well as help him use his mind productively. As is true of all shepherds, Sawyer is looking for a forever family that will provide him with the structure, routine, and leadership that he needs to thrive. Training will go a long way with this boy. Not only will training help him develop a strong and healthy bond with his family, but it will also help him grow into a stable and confident adult. Having lived in a home, Sawyer already has an understanding of the expectations of living in a home. He is housebroken and crate trained. However, as is true of any new dog, he will need time to adjust to the rules and expectations of his forever family. Sawyer is looking for a forever family that will commit to him for a lifetime. If this amazing guy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today. 

We don’t know if it’s ‘Maybelline’ or maybe it's MAGSR, but this ‘Beautiful Basha’ (or Rose from the Golden Girls) doesn’t look or act her age!  It’s clear she was well taken care of, but unfortunately an abrupt change with her previous owner's living situation has left her as an owner-surrender. It was a heartbreaking decision, but the couple knew bringing her to MAGSR would give her the best chance at living out her golden years, (much like Rose) in a loving home.

As we get to really know Basha, she is somewhat bashful, but still very active, working-line, almost 11 year old beauty.  It’s really difficult to believe she’s almost 11! She has the agility and energy to leap a 2’ hurdle to chase a squirrel out of your yard for absolute protection!  Basha’s foster reports she is unfortunately struggling with her new living situation and will need some time to decompress and realize she is safe and will be loved and taken care of, much like the final episodes of the Golden Girls. 

Since Basha comes from a working-line of GSD’s, she is well trained and knows a number of tricks, but is probably up to learning a few more.  This will help fulfill her need for both physical and mental stimulation.  Because she has a high prey drive, it’s probably best she is placed either in a home without cats, or with one that is a dog-savvy cat.

Basha is absolutely eager to find the right FUR-ever family, and would really thrive in an environment where she is provided the basic necessities of a senior, working-line puppy-at-heart -  training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance.  

If ‘Beautiful Basha’/ “Golden-Girl Basha’’ sounds like the golden era you would like to chat about life with, please ask to add her to your family today!

Our newest babies - Sam, Ellie, Carlton, Blue, and Eugene - were found too small and without a mommy. Babies really need to be with mom until at least eight weeks. This gives them a chance to access the nutrition, love, and social foundation needed to meet with success. As luck would have it, a dog in the area, Madison, was having a hysterical pregnancy and was ready to step in and help these babies in need. Madison did an incredible job fostering her babies and taught them everything she could before sending them on their way to their adoptive families. We will forever be grateful to Madison and her human mom for stepping in and making miracles happen. 

All five babies have been well-loved and cared for. Over time, they have developed their own special personalities. Ellie was a momma's girl from day one. She adored Madison and cuddled with her until she left for her forever family. Ellie likes to get in the middle of everything and stir up the fun. It also seems that she has gotten those "puppy eyes" down pat when corrected for being too rowdy. Someone needs to know when to turn the charm on and off. Although Ellie is a hoot, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your world with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, and training, Ellie will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to become. If this social little girl sounds like the right match for your family. Ask to meet her today!

The Kentucky Six - Diego, Champ, Serena, Peanut, Evie, and Yogi - are cruelty and neglect survivors. Living in inhumane conditions, starved, and used as breeding stock, the Kentucky Six managed to make it off the property alive when the right people heard about their conditions and got the authorities involved. All six dogs were confiscated and brought to a shelter where they waited for the chance to find kind and loving families of their very own. Although shelter staff worked hard to make sure that all six dogs began getting the care and attention they deserved, they recognized that with shelters at capacity and adoptions limited, these six precious souls may not have the chance to find their forever families. They began working with local groups and started networking the dogs in hopes that rescue placement would be found. Fortunately, their message made its way to MAGSR. Our incredible team knew that this group of dogs was very special, so we began putting plans in place to welcome the Kentucky Six to the MAGSR family. 

Although Peanut's life was filled with endless challenges and suffering prior to her confiscation, she remains loving and affectionate. With a gentle demeanor and sweet personality, she easily wins over everyone who meets her. Really, who could say no to those lovely eyes? Although she has endured a lot of suffering throughout the years, Peanut's demeanor remains stable and lovable. Sometimes we are simply astonished by the resilience of dogs that have been through so much trauma but are still friendly and interactive.  As is true of all shepherds, Peanut will thrive when provided with structure, routine, and leadership. In many ways she is still in the beginning stages of her new life. She will need time to adjust to new people, environments, and expectations. However, given patience and opportunities to learn, we are sure that Peanut will continue to discover the joys of being a beloved member of a family. We do not know if Peanut has had much experience living in a household. Clear rules and boundaries will help her settle into her new home. Training will also go a long way for this lovely lady. Not only will training help Peanut develop a strong, healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Unfortunately, we have learned that all of the Kentucky Six are heartworm positive. This could have easily been avoided with a monthly heartworm preventative. Peanut is just beginning treatment. However, she is already handling her protocol like a pro. Although heartworm treatment is expensive, MAGSR will cover the entire cost of Peanut's medical treatment. Please consider donating to Peanut's care as it will not only help Peanut continue to move forward, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs. Peanut is looking for a forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. If this amazing lady sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

All five babies have been well-loved and cared for. Over time, they have developed their own special personalities. Sam (also lovingly known as Dippy) was the runt of the litter. She is the floppiest of the group. She is sweet, affectionate, and talkative. She will easily fill her forever home with giggles and joy. Although Sam is a love, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your world with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, and training, Sam will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to become. If this floppy little girl sounds like the right match for your family.

He keeps everyone happy and his little eyes simply dance with merriment. A huge fan of food, this boy is always happy to chow down and keeps his belly full at all times.

We would like to introduce Sage; a stunningly beautiful, bouncy, 7 month old sable.  Unfortunately, her previous family was unaware of the requirements of a GSD puppy, and made a difficult decision to surrender her so she could live her best life.  With that being said, Sage wasn’t properly socialized with other dogs or humans, and as a result, is terrified of most things.  In order to help give her the best chance, Sage will be receiving some training to help her rebuild her confidence. 

As we get to know Sage, it is clear she will need time to decompress and onboard some training that will help build her confidence.  We know she will end up being an incredible, loyal and loving companion, but will need to be placed with a person or family that is either familiar with German Shepherds or is eager to learn about the temperament of the breed while providing the essentials -  training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance.

If Sage sounds like the adventure you would like to blaze trails with, please ask to add her to your family today!

Lovely little Bell and her sister, Bebe, were surrendered to a local shelter. Although it was clear that the girls were sweethearts, the shelter environment is a loud and scary place for many dogs, especially puppies. In a constant state of fear and starting to avoid people, shelter staff knew that if the girls remained in the shelter environment much longer, their chances at finding a forever home were limited. Recognizing that the girls were beginning to shut down in their new surroundings, shelter staff made an urgent plea for rescue help. Although we already had several puppies within the rescue, when we heard about Bell and Bebe's situation, we knew we needed to step forward and welcome both girls to the MAGSR family. 

Bell is beyond adorable. Her lovely eyes simply draw you in and melt your heart. However, due to a lack of socialization with new people, new environments, and new animals prior to her arrival in MAGSR's care, she can be skittish and unsure in new situations and with new people. Her tendency is to attempt to run and hide. Bell is fortunate to be living with an incredible foster family that is working hard to provide her with the opportunity to socialize with new people and other animals in controlled settings. However, it is critical that Bell's forever family continue this socialization. Bell is looking for a forever family that will provide her with the structure, routine, and leadership that all dogs crave. Training will go a long way with Bebe. Not only will it help her create a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop into a stable and confident adult. If your household has the time, patience, and energy  to provide Bebe with opportunities and experiences that all young dogs deserve, ask to meet this little girl today!

Darren was picked up as a stray and brought to an overcrowded shelter. Upon his arrival it was clear that this sweet guy was special. Darren was gentle and affectionate but also very scared. Due to overcrowding, Darren was living on borrowed time and needed help fast. Recognizing that this guy deserved a chance with a forever family, a rescue plea went out. When we learned about Darren's situation, we immediately stepped forward and welcomed Darren to the MAGSR family. 

Darren is a gentle and timid soul. A little jumpy with fast movements, it is evident that Darren has survived a lot in his short life much of it may not have always involved a kind hand. However, he remains sweet and affectionate. Darren did very well with staff members at the shelter and seems to appreciate a calm and gentle handler. Darren's family will need to be patient with Darren as he adjusts to his forever family. However, given a little time and kindness, Darren warms up to his people. Darren is looking for a forever family that will provide him with the structure, routine, and leadership that helps all dogs thrive. Training will also go a long way with Darren. Not only will training help Darren develop a strong, healthy bond with his family, but it will also help him develop into a stable and confident canine citizen. Darren is looking for a forever family that will adore him for a lifetime. Could that be with you? 

Lovely Kitana was adored by her family. They gave her endless opportunities to socialize with people and other animals which helped her develop a stable and confident personality. However, due to unexpected changes, they could no longer provide her with the life they knew she deserved. Recognizing that Kitana would be most successful if placed within a breed specific rescue, they asked us to welcome Kitana to the MAGSR family. We promised we would find this special girl the perfect forever family. 

Kitana is a beautiful, affectionate, and interactive girl. She has an interactive personality and loves everyone she encounters. Kitana is living with one of our amazing foster families. They are working with her to help her transition. As is true of all dogs, Kitana will need some time to adjust to her new family and home. However, given time, patience, structure, and routine, we are sure that Kitana will meet with success. Although Kitana already knows a few commands, she will benefit greatly from training. Training will not only help Kitana develop a strong, healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her become a good canine citizen. Kitana is looking for a loving forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Although sweet little Zaire is still very young, we don't know much about her first couple of months. We do know that somewhere along the lines something went very wrong as she was found one morning tied to the front door of a shelter in the south. Sweet but understandably a little shy, shelter staff knew that the longer she remained at an overcrowded shelter, the less likely Zaire would be to find a forever home. In order to provide Zaire with every opportunity to move forward safely, shelter staff began working with the rescue community to find a placement. Fortunately, one of our rescue partners heard of Zaire's plea and helped us welcome her to the MAGSR family. 

Zaire is an interactive, playful, and social girl. She is learning all about the joys of a comfortable bed, good food, and plenty of toys. Her incredible foster family has begun the important work of teaching Zaire the ins and outs of living in a household. She is a smart little girl and is already beginning to pick up new skills. As Zaire is still very young, her foster family is working hard to support Zaire providing her with opportunities to socialize with people and animals in varied environments. Socialization is critical to Zaire's success. Her forever family will need to continue this process to ensure that Zaire develops into a confident and stable adult dog. Training will also be essential to Zaire's success. Not only will training help Zaire develop a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. 

Although Zaire is 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, leadership, and structure, they will develop into stable and confident adult dogs. Zaire is looking for an active family that will love her for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet Zaire today!

Jess and his 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.

Kyra and her sister, Basha, were well-loved by their family. However, when a significant change in circumstances altered the family structure, their owner could no longer provide them with the life they deserved. Recognizing that both girls deserved the opportunity to find forever homes that could provide them with everything they needed and more, their family made the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye and surrendered them to MAGSR. 

Kyra is absolutely stunning. As a working-line shepherd, she is smart, energetic, and looking for an experienced handler. True to the breed, Kyra thrives with structure, routine, and leadership. With clear direction from a confident handler, Kyra meets with success. Having lived in a household, Kyra understands many of the rules and expectations of living in a home.

Our incredible team knew that this group of dogs was very special, so we began putting plans in place to welcome the Kentucky Six to the MAGSR family. 

Although Yogi's life was filled with challenges and suffering prior to his confiscation, he still wants to connect with his people. Intelligent, friendly, and energetic, Yogi is a goofy guy. Still very young, he still has some puppy mannerisms that result in endless smiles. Due to his long hair and the level of neglect he endured, Yogi needed extensive grooming upon arrival to help him get relief from the filth and matting resulting from his circumstances. Although he has endured a lot of suffering, Yogi remains a happy guy. Sometimes we are simply astonished by the resilience of dogs that have been through so much trauma but are still friendly and interactive.  As is true of all shepherds, Yogi will thrive when provided with structure, routine, and leadership. In many ways he is still in the beginning stages of his new life. He will need time to adjust to new people, environments, and expectations.

Handsome Nico was surrendered to another rescue in the south as his family felt that they could not provide him with the life he deserved. Due to an overwhelming number of dogs needing rescue right now, the other rescue asked MAGSR if he could be transferred. As working together helps save lives, we were happy to welcome Nico to the MAGSR family.

Nico is your typical young GSD. He is active, intelligent, and full of energy. It is clear that Nico was well socialized with other people and loves everyone. As is true of all young dogs, Nico is looking for a home that will help him exercise his body and his mind on a daily basis. Nico has lived in a home and has already learned the many of the ins and outs of living in a home. However, he will need time to adjust to the structure and routines of his forever family.

Tito and his family - JD, Jameson, and Precious - were living outside. The dogs were clearly well socialized with their family; however, they had not had much experience off property. When circumstances suddenly changed, their family could no longer keep them and began looking for rescue options. Recognizing that this little family needed help and quickly, our volunteers began working together to welcome everyone to the MAGSR family. 

Tito is a handsome and energetic guy. He can be a little timid when placed in new situations and with new people. However, given some time, patience, and kindness, he warms up. A big fan of cuddles and massages, Tito just needs a minute to learn that you are trustworthy. Although Tito has been socialized with other dogs, he has not had much experience in new situations and environments. Socialization is a critical component when raising a stable and confident dog. Tito is living with a loving foster family that is beginning this process.

Having lived his entire life outdoors, Tito is just starting to learn the joys of living in a household. As an intelligent guy, we are sure he will pick up new skills quickly. With structure, routine, and leadership, Tito will thrive. 

Although Tito is an absolute joy, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with puppy antics.

Coates was picked up as a stray in the south and brought to an overcrowded shelter. Although he waited patiently for his family to come and claim him, when no one stepped forward Coates found himself in a scary predicament. With an overwhelming number of dogs entering the shelter on a daily basis, there were not enough openings. Fortunately, shelter staff work very hard to reach out for help hoping to save as many lives as possible. When we heard that Coates needed help as soon as possible, MAGSR stepped forward to welcome him to the family. 

Coates is a friendly and affectionate guy. He enjoys the company of people as well as other dogs. Although Coates has clearly been well socialized with people, it appears that he was likely left outside most of his life. As a result, many of the basic ins and outs of household life are unknown to him. Recognizing that Coates will need to gain experience within everyday indoor experiences, our volunteers are working with him to help him learn basic concepts, such as stairs and doors. Coates is looking for a household that will provide him structure, routine, and leadership. He will need a little time to adjust to living in a home. However, we know that with time and patience, he will develop into an incredible canine citizen. Training is essential for Coates. Not only will it help him develop a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him increase his confidence.
