Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Confident little Basil, his mom - Magnolia, and his siblings - Magnum, Blaze, Bud, Cedar, Fleury, Ren, Quill, Daissy, Iris, and Rose - have been living with a foster family for several weeks. This large and lovely family quickly joined the MAGSR family soon after Magnolia arrived at a shelter in labor. As a shelter is no place for moms and pups, staff worked quickly to move Magnolia into our care so that she could raise her little ones in a safe and calm environment. Magnolia has done an incredible job with her pups and has made sure that all eleven of them were well cared for and healthy. However, in a couple of weeks, she will be ready to say goodbye as the entire family will be ready to find forever homes of their own. 

Sweet Basil is an absolute joy. Having lived in a household, his foster family has been working hard to develop his social skills. Although he has a good start already, it is imperative that Basil's forever family continue this process. Basil is a calm and confident guy, however, please keep in mind that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy energy and antics. They get into things, whine, and will chew on inappropriate items. With time, training, socialization and patience, Basil will develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to become. Basil is looking for a loving forever home that will commit to him for a lifetime. If this little bundle sounds like a good match for your household, ask to meet him today!

Beautiful Quinney was confiscated as her family was not providing her with appropriate care. When she arrived at the shelter, staff members quickly recognized that Quinney is a working line shepherd. As these dogs require a handler with some experience, they felt that Quinney would be most successful if she was transferred to a rescue. We were thrilled to welcome Quinney to the MAGSR family.

As is true with most working line shepherds, Quinney is intelligent and driven. She is athletic and full of energy. With high ball and toy drive, Quinney is beyond motivated to work if a ball is involved. She is also a huge fan of the frisbee. This lovely lady is going to be a delight to train with as she is focused and motivated. Training will be critical to Quinney's success as it will not only help her bond to her new family but it will also help her channel her energy effectively. Quinney is looking for an experienced household that can keep her body and her mind well exercised. If this amazing girl sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today.

Miko was adored by his family. However, due to circumstances beyond their control, they could no longer keep him. Recognizing that this guy would be most successful in a GSD savvy household, they decided to surrender him to MAGSR. Although this was a heartbreaking decision, they knew that Miko deserved a loving family that could commit to him for a lifetime. We promised Miko's family that we would find him the perfect match. 

Miko is a big, handsome, and active guy. Playful and a huge fan of playing ball, Miko is looking for an active household that will exercise his body and his mind on a daily basis. Clearly intelligent, Miko does a nice job reading his handler. However, true to the breed, he will find weakness if it exists. As a result, Miko would be best placed in an experienced GSD household. Prior to his arrival, Miko's family made sure that he participated in a board and train program with additional practice on weekends. As a result, he does know several commands. Although Miko has a good foundation already, it is imperative that his new family continue training with him. This will not only help Miko brush up on his skills but it will also help him bond to his new family. Miko is looking for a forever family that will love him for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Willow's mom loved her beyond words. Unfortunately, she recently passed away leaving sweet Willow behind with a team of friends who promised they would find Willow a loving forever family. Willow's mom did everything she could to make sure that Willow would be safe and cared for even if she couldn't do it herself. When MAGSR was contacted to help Willow move forward, we knew that this sweet girl was special. We promised her caretakers that we would find her the perfect forever family. 

Willow is a lovely lady. It is very apparent that her mom took exceptional care of her. She is eager to please and very snuggly. However, as is true of many shepherds, she can be a little timid around new people. Given a little time and some yummy treats, Willow warms up to new people. An intelligent girl, Willow is a quick learner. As is true of all new dogs, she will benefit from training with her new family. This will not only help her develop the skills of a good canine citizen, but it will also help her bond to her new family. Although she is going through a huge change, Willow has adjusted well with her foster family. She greatly enjoys playing with her furry foster brother. Good with dogs of all sizes, as well as cats, Willow is a friendly girl. She is looking for a forever family that will love her throughout her golden years. If this sweet girl sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today. 

Lovely Freedom was surrendered to a shelter when her family could no longer care for her. As is true of many shepherds, Freedom was fearful upon arrival at the shelter. In order to find a safe and loving home that understands the breed, shelter staff began looking for a rescue that could help Freedom move forward. MAGSR answered the call. 

Freedom is a beautiful, curious, and affectionate girl. She enjoys the company of other dogs and seems to understand many of the rules of the dog world. Although Freedom does well with other dogs, she is hesitant with new people. However, when new people are slow and give her the opportunity to warm up, Freedom is a loving and sweet girl. As is typical of all young shepherds, Freedom has some good energy. A big fan of playing ball, this girl would be happy to help her family strengthen their throwing arms. Freedom did live in a household prior to her arrival at the shelter. However, we do not have any information about how this went. She will thrive in an environment where her people go slow, provide routine, and have clear structure. Freedom's family will need to take her to training. This will not only help her develop a strong bond with her new family but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. If your family is looking for a young, athletic girl, ask to meet Freedom today!

Lovely little Tazanna was living with a young woman who loved her but couldn't provide her with the care she needed. Recognizing that this was not fair to Tazanna, her owner surrendered her to another rescue so that Tazanna would have the chance at the life and love that she deserved. Although this was a difficult decision, Tazanna's mom knew that this was in Tazanna's best interest. We welcomed Tazanna into the MAGSR family as it was felt she would be most successful in another region. 

Tazanna is a lovely little girl. As is true of many dogs that have lacked opportunities to socialize, Tazanna can be timid with new people and in new situations. However, when given a little time, she warms up nicely. Although her foster family is working with Tazanna to further develop her socialization skills, it will be critical that her forever family continue this process. A well-socialized puppy will develop into a stable adult. Already crate trained, Tazanna is making excellent strides toward becoming housebroken. She is also learning some basic commands and has already learned sit and come. This smart girl will be a joy in training class. Training will not only help Tazanna bond to her new family but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. Good with cats and dogs, Tazanna enjoys her furry companions. However, as a puppy, she still does some chasing. As she loves to play ball, Tazanna's foster family will be working with her to redirect that chasing to toys and balls. Tazanna is looking for a forever family that will commit to her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Handsome Igor was picked up as a stray in the south. Although he was brought to a shelter where he waited for his family, no one came to claim him. Due to overcrowding at the shelter, Igor needed to get out and fast. When asked if we could help Igor move forward, MAGSR immediately stepped forward. 

Igor is in many ways your typical young shepherd. He is young, playful, energetic and a complete goofball. It is very evident that somewhere along the way Igor was socialized with people and other dogs. However, it is evident that he has yet to develop his doggy manners. As a big guy, it is essential that Igor have the opportunity to develop these manners early on with his new family. Training will go a long way with this big guy as it will not only help Igor bond to his new family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen. As Igor arrived as a stray, we do not know if he has had the opportunity to live in a household. In many ways he is starting from a clean slate. Like all young shepherds, Igor will thrive in a household where he has structure, routine, and leadership. If this big, sweet guy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today. 

The young and vibrant Charlotte was dumped on a country road with her 7 puppies. Charlotte is still a giant puppy herself at just over a year old. This sweet little family was taken to an overcrowded animal shelter where they waited to be claimed. When no one arrived to bring them home, a plea went out for help. We knew this little family deserved the comfort and safety of a home and MAGSR stepped up to help.

Charlotte is friendly with everyone she meets including people and other dogs. At this early stage of her adult life she needs to work on her basic obedience and house manners. She will likely need to learn the ins and outs of living in the comfort and safety of a household. With structure, patience, and leadership, we know that Charlotte will thrive. Training will be a critical piece of Charlotte's transition as it will help her bond to her forever family while also building the stability and confidence she needs to become a good canine citizen. If this sweet girl sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today. 

Lovely Alice was picked up as a stray in the south and brought to a shelter. Although she waited patiently for her family to come and claim her, no one came up to bring her home. Due to unprecedented issues with overcrowding, the shelter staff knew that Alice would need rescue support to make it out alive. When asked if we could help Alice find a safe and loving forever home, MAGSR immediately stepped forward.

Alice is a friendly and loving girl. She does well with humans and people. As an adult dog who must have had some socialization, Alice is stable and confident in her personality. Unfortunately, we do not know anything about Alice's past so in many ways she is starting fresh with her new family. This lovely lady will thrive in an environment where she has structure, routine, and leadership. Training will also go a long way with Alice as it will not only help her bond to her new family but it will also help her further develop into a good canine citizen. Unfortunately, we have learned that Alice is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if Alice had been provided with monthly preventatives. We have already started treatment and Alice is doing well. The cost of her entire treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Treatment is expensive but this sweet girl is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating toward Alice's treatment. Your generosity will help us save her and other dogs with medical needs. Although Alice will need to take it slow over the next few months while she undergoes treatment, she will be back up to full speed soon. Alice is looking for a forever family that will provide her with the love, safety, and structure that she so clearly deserves. If she sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today. 

Sally and her Cars Puppies were rescued in the south by another group. As they wanted to do right by this lovely family, they began reaching out to other groups who would be able to support the family until they were ready to find forever homes of their own. When asked to welcome this family into the MAGSR family, we immediately said yes. 

Sally was a known homeless dog in the community in which she lived. She often visited members of the community and was friendly and gentle. When Sally became pregnant, a community member began working with a rescue group to trap Sally and her family. It took some time; however, they met with success and Sally and her babies were ready to move forward to lives of comfort and safety. Sally is an incredible mommy. She has done a wonderful job caring for her 10 babies. However, she now deserves a family of her very own that will love and care for her with the same kindness she has shown her babies. In many ways Sally is still a baby herself. She will thrive in an environment that provides her with the structure, routine, and guidance that all dogs crave. Training will be key to Sally's success as it will not only help her bond with her new family, but it will also help her develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to be. If this lovely girl sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today. 

From about six months of age until February, 2021, every day of Ruger‘s life followed the same neglectful routine - chained up to a pin in the ground outside of her owner’s home. This routine lasted about 16 hours of every day; the other eight hours were spent in a crate in the basement of her owner’s home. Unfortunately, this routine never changed and never included any human interaction, play time, positive interaction, or attention. Ruger was never socialized to other dogs nor did she receive any veterinary care. Her life consisted of a chain, food, water and a small igloo for shelter. When her owner broke his hip, neighbors who had witnessed this horrible neglect took action. They stepped in to have Ruger surrendered and quickly removed from the life she had been living. Ruger went from living on a chain to living in a home with people who would begin to meet her needs.  

Despite her past, Ruger is a loving dog particularly, once she has had a chance to adjust to her people and surroundings. Although she is an adult, she acts and plays very much like a puppy. This is largely due to the fact that she never had an opportunity to play prior to her rescue in February. Now that she has had the opportunity to learn about toys, Ruger is a big fan. One of her favorite activities is playing with rope toys and thrashing them back-and-forth. In addition to toys, Ruger has become a big proponent of riding in her foster family's RTV. She is an excellent passenger. She even uses the RTV when her foster family is outside doing yard work as she loves to lay in the seats and soak up the sun.

Having lived in a loving household since the late winter, Ruger has had the opportunity to learn some of the ins and outs of living in a household. She understands many of the rules of living in a home but will need to fine tune those skills to meet the routines of her forever family. Ruger will thrive in a household where she has consistency, structure and routine. Although Ruger has participated in obedience training and knows many commands, she will need to continue training with her new family. Training will not only help her bond with her new family, but it will also help her develop into the stable adult we know she is destined to become. Ruger is looking for a loving home that will care for her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Zulu is a special guy. This big, handsome boy was picked up as a stray in the south. Although it was highly evident that he needed some help, the shelter staff knew that had an amazing dog on their hands. Zulu has easily won the hearts of everyone who has met him. Recognizing that they simply didn't have the ability to meet Zulu's medical needs, the shelter reached out for rescue help. How could we possibly say no to this guy?

Zulu's has bacterial pyoderma. This means his body is suffering from an untreated skin infection. He had sores throughout his body with clusters on his belly, legs, neck, and back. In order to address his skin we did have to sedate and shave some areas. Zulu is now getting bathed every three days and his skin is starting to heal. On top of his skin issues, it was also discovered that Zulu is heartworm positive. Fortunately, his treatment is already moving forward and everything is going well. Zulu will need to take it slow for another month or two; however, he will be back to full strength soon.

Please consider donating to Zulu's care.

As a social guy, Zulu enjoys the company of everyone. He is even comfortable with kids! It is clear that somewhere along the lines this boy was given the opportunity to socialize with people of all ages. Not just a people person, Zulu also enjoys the company of other dogs. A playful guy, Zulu will happily play a game of fetch. He definitely understands the concept of toys. Having spent some time at the shelter, prior to his arrival at MAGSR, Zulu has begun learning a few basic commands. He, just like all dogs, will benefit greatly from training as it will help him bond with his new family as well as develop into a good canine citizen.  

Amy, her mom, and her six siblings - Jill, Joe, Mikey, Monica, Phoebe, and Rachael - were dumped on a country road in the south. Covered in ringworm, emaciated, and clearly not well cared for, this little family needed help and quickly. Fortunately, a good samaritan found this family and got them to the safety of a shelter. Although shelter staff did a wonderful job getting this family the help they needed, they knew that moms and puppies do not belong in a shelter environment. As a result, a rescue plea went out. When we heard that this little family needed help, MAGSR immediately stepped forward. 

Amy is sweet, affectionate, and playful. She is everything that a puppy should be. Although this little girl is a gem, please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy energy and antics. They get into things, whine, and will chew on inappropriate items. With time, patience, and training, Amy will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to become. Amy is looking for a loving forever household that will commit to her for a lifetime. If your family is looking for puppy kisses, antics, and wiggles, please ask to meet Amy today. 

Haru and several of his siblings were confiscated from their household as their family could not properly care for them. As is true of most shepherds, when moved out of his home and into a crowded shelter, Haru was scared. Fortunately, volunteers recognized that Haru was a special guy and spent some extra time supporting him. Recognizing that Haru would be most successful if transferred to a rescue, they reached out for help. We were happy to welcome Haru to the MAGSR family. 

Haru is a young, energetic guy. He enjoys the company of other people and other dogs. Although Haru did not have the care and consistency that a young GSD needs to meet with success, he is quickly adjusting to his new life. Haru is beginning to learn some basic manners but will need continued practice with his new family. Training will go a long way with this guy. A regular participant in doggy playgroup, Haru enjoys the company of other dogs particularly, his brother Haruto. Haru is looking for an active family that will provide him with the mental and physical exercise he needs to develop into a stable adult. If this sweet guy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today!

Cute little Zero was picked up as a stray with another dog in the south. Although he waited patiently for his family to claim him, when no one stepped forward Zero found himself in a difficult spot. Living in an overcrowded shelter and with limited options for moving forward, Zero needed a rescue to step up and help him move forward. When a plea was sent out for Zero, we immediately welcomed him into the MAGSR family. 

Zero is a young, energetic, and playful guy. A good athlete and an intelligent guy, Zero is looking for a family that can exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. Routine and structure will help Zero meet with success with his forever family. As we do not know anything about Zero's life prior to his arrival at the shelter, in many ways he is a clean slate. It will be important that Zero's family provide him with the time to adjust to his new life and decompress in his new home. This will help him thrive with his new family.

Otis and his brother were found as strays on a road in Afghanistan by US troops who took them in. Although their bodies told a story of a difficult upbringing, Otis and his brother are extremely affectionate and even tempered. Recognizing that the dogs would not survive if left behind, several service members coordinated and arranged for transport of both dogs back to the United States. Although this was no small feat, Otis and his brother arrived ready for their long awaited and much deserved forever homes. 

Otis recently joined the MAGSR family as it was felt that he would have his best chance at finding the perfect forever home through a rescue. This sweet, playful guy is a complete ham. He is a huge fan of attention and belly rubs. We have yet to meet anyone that Otis doesn't like. His social personality brings smiles to everyone around him. Although Otis is good with other dogs, he does need a home where he is the only dog or a home with female dogs. Otis, like all dogs, will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. Training will go a long way with Otis as it will not only help him bond to his new family, but it will also help him become the good canine citizen we know he is destined to be. This sweet, resilient boy is looking for a loving forever family that will care for him for a lifetime. Could that family be you?

Scotty was a beloved member of his household. However, due to circumstances beyond their control, they could no longer provide him with the life that they knew he deserved. Recognizing that Scotty would be happiest if he found a new home, they made the difficult decision to surrender him to MAGSR. We promised Scotty's family that we would find him a safe and loving forever home. 

Scotty is a stable and inquisitive guy. He enjoys the company of his people and has grown up with little kids. Although Scotty is still learning leash manners, he is a quick study and is attentive to the handler. He should be a star in training class! Training will be essential for Scotty as it will not only help him to adjust to his new family but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen. Having lived in a household, Scotty already knows many of the ins and outs of living in a home. He is housebroken and crate trained. However, as is true of any new dog, Scotty will need some time to adjust to his new home in order to meet with success. Scotty is looking for a forever family that will keep him safe and loved for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Jodie and her siblings, Anna and Teddy Bear, were brought to a shelter when their owner passed away. Unfortunately, it was apparent that their owner had been struggling to care for these dogs for a while. Fearful and avoidant in the shelter environment, this little family needed out and fast. Knowing we could provide this family with the life and love they deserve, MAGSR welcomed them to the family.

Jodie is a sweet little lady but she is timid. Somewhat hand-shy, Jodie does well with a patient handler who will give her time to trust. Once comfortable, she warms up for love and attention. A big fan of kisses, Jodie is affectionate and cuddly with her people. Due to the condition in which she arrived, Jodie has needed a little extra TLC. She arrived sick with an URI and dirty from lack of care. Fortunately, our amazing vetting partners were able to help Jodie get the relief she needed. With time, patience, and a little support, Jodie is making steady progress. Jodie will thrive in a household that will provide structure, routine, and patience. Unfortunately, we have discovered that Jodie is heartworm positive. This condition could have been avoided had she been provided monthly heartworm preventatives. We have already begun Jodie's treatment. The cost of her entire treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Treatment is expensive, but this lovely girl is beyond worth the cost. Please consider donating toward Jodie's treatment. Your generosity will help us save her and other dogs with medical needs. Although Jodie will need to take it slow over the next few months while she undergoes treatment, this will give her time to adjust to her new environment and meet with success in her forever home. Jodie is looking for a forever family that will provide her with the structure, patience, and love that she so clearly deserves. Could this be with you?

Pilot and his buddy, Jet, were picked up as strays and brought to a local shelter. Upon their arrival it was highly evident that these boys had not been treated well by their people. A little unsure about their surroundings, emaciated, and in poor health, shelter staff felt it would be best if these boys were placed with a rescue. When asked if MAGSR could work with the boys to move them forward, we immediately committed to them knowing that we could find these guys a safe and loving forever home. 

Pilot is a young, energetic, and playful guy. Although he can be a little shy at first, when given a little time to adjust, he comes around quickly for time and attention.  As a teenager, Pilot is still learning all the rules of living in a home. He will benefit from a household that will provide him with the structure, leadership, and consistency that all young dogs need. Pilot is lucky to be living in a loving foster home that is teaching him all about the joys of living in a household. However, just like any new dog, he will need to fine tune his skills in his forever home. Training will go a long way with Pilot. Not only will it help him bond with his new family but it will also help him develop into a stable and confident canine good citizen.
