Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Liesl's family surrendered her as their busy lifestyle kept them from providing her with proper exercise and attention.  She lived in a home with 3 young children and did well with them.  Liesl will bark at other dogs when she is on a leash, but does well with them off leash.  This of course can be worked with through training.  Training, along with structure will go a long way in teaching Liesl good canine manners.  It also helps build a bond with her new family.  Liesl can be somewhat wary when meeting new people, this also can be addressed with training and socialization.

One of the largest puppy mill busts found hundreds of German Shepherd's living in absolute filth and in horrendous condition.  Ankle deep mud and feces mixed with urine, no adequate shelter, lacking food and clean water is how these dogs were left to live, many for years.  The urgent call was made and MAGSR knew we had to take in as many as possible.  We now have 38 dogs that have a multitude of medical needs that we are addressing, and they need to learn to trust humans.  All dogs are scared, some are shut down, but our volunteers and vets will get them on their road to recovery.  It will be awhile before these dogs are ready for adoption, so please be patient and watch for updates. 

An undertaking of this size for an all-volunteer rescue is quite a task, but one we are meeting it head on.  Many of the dogs require medical boarding so that they can receive the best possible care.  We are committed to providing everything they need, not only medically, but emotionally.  Our medical costs are going to be at an amount we have never seen before.  We need your help, the dogs need your help.  Please donate , your donation will go towards their ongoing care, medical needs, emotional needs and help them on their road to recovery and a brighter future.

Blue was surrendered to us as his loving family fell on hard times and did not have the finances to continue to care for Blue.  He is very much loved by his previous family and they only want what's best for him.  Blue is having some allergy issues which has caused some fur loss and irradiated skin.   He is on medication to bring him some relief, we have changed his diet and he will be seen by our vet.  As you can imagine, Blue is quite confused with losing his family and home.  He lived with children ages 6 through 16.  We are giving Blue time to settle in and become accustom to his new surroundings and our volunteers.

Frieda came to us from a not so good situation.  She was used as a breeding dog, she was not provided with proper care or adequate living conditions.  Thankfully after complaints and an investigation she, along with other dogs were confiscated.  Frieda is now in our care where she is looking for a family that will provide her with a loving and warm home, where she means more to her family than just a puppy machine. Sweet Frieda needs someone who will love and care for her during her golden years.  Someone that will show her that not all humans are cruel.  She needs a place to rest her body and soul, to go for leisurely strolls, to lay in the sun and take in the day, to have a big comfy bed of her very own and to finally know true love.  Please give this beautiful senior girl the chance at a life she has never known, if it isn't for as long as a younger dog, she is just as deserving. 

Rhee lost her family and home as her Military family were stationed overseas until 2022.  Rhee was staying with a family friend but unfortunately did not adjust well and was not getting along with the other dogs in the home.  Rhee will require time to adjust to yet another change in her life, a family with patience that will provide structure is best.  She lived with children since she was 11 months old with no issues.  She has been through professional obedience training, but a refresher course with her new family is required.

Trooper was picked up  as a stray by Animal Control.  Upon being found he had numerous abrasions and gashes on his legs.  He was seen by the vet immediately, had his wounds cleaned and sutured.  He is still healing from whatever caused his injuries, but is healing well. Trooper is need of a strong handler, someone that will set rules and provide structure.  Training is needed, as he needs to learn manners and good dog behavior.  Trooper can be spooked by things he is not familiar with so ongoing socialization is important.

Unfortunately, Trooper tested heartworm positive when seen by MAGSR's vet. This could have been avoided had he been kept on monthly heartworm preventatives. Trooper is in the beginning stages of his heartworm treatment, which of course MAGSR will pay for his entire treatment. Treatment is expensive, but Trooper is certainly worth the cost. Donations towards his treatment would be greatly appreciated, this would also help us save other dogs with medical needs. He will have to take it slow for the next few months while he undergoes treatment, so lots of rest will be in order.

Seth was abandoned by his person at a friends home and never returned for him.  He is understandably confused with the recent changes in his life causing some anxiety.  He lived with a female GSD and was around cats without issues.  He did live with children but did not have much interaction with them, so we do not know how he would do with children.  We are giving him time to settle in and will post updates once we know him better.

Atta was a stray to the shelter and is now looking for his forever home.  He is a strong boy with no leash skills, but with training, guidance and direction he will learn quickly.  He is young and full of energy, so be sure you are up to many walks and playtime each day.  Yes, he has a lot to learn, but will need his humans help to learn how to be the best he can be.

Lexi came back to us after 5 years as her adopter had many changes in her life, some of them tragic.  Lexi is very much loved and was well cared for, but unfortunately her family was not able to continue to provide her with the best home.  She lived with smaller dogs and cats, she also enjoyed frequent visits by the grandchildren.  She is overweight, but with a reduced calorie diet she will have her girly figure back in no time.  Lexi would love to know the comforts of a home once again and the love and companionship of a family.

Sadly Zeus's person was relocated for his job and was not able to find pet friendly housing that he could afford.  Zeus and his sister Athena are now in our care, patiently waiting for a new family.  They have been well cared for and were very much loved.  They get along very well and are very bonded so we are hopeful that a family has room in their hearts and homes to adopt them both.

Fritz made his way to us from a shelter where he was a stray, so we have no history for him.  Fritz is a lot of dog, he is big and strong, and it is obvious that no one took the time to train him.  Training is so very important as it teaches them good behavior, good manners and how to be good members of a family and society.  He has been friendly with our volunteers and did well meeting other dogs.  

Sadly Athena's person was relocated for his job and was not able to find pet friendly housing that he could afford.  Athena and her brother Zeus are now in our care, patiently waiting for a new family.  They have been well cared for and were very much loved.  They get along very well and are very bonded so we are hopeful that a family has room in their hearts and homes to adopt them both.

Juno's former family moved away and left her behind all on her own.  A sweet, playful 8 month puppy left to fend for herself.  Thankfully a neighbor noticed, took her in until he could find her a rescue.  She enjoyed playing with the neighbors dogs while she waited to make her way to us.  She is such a sweet, loving girl that would be a great addition to an active family.  Of course training is required and needed, this will help her adjust to her new family and life.

Rex is one of 22 dogs from the Carolinas that needed help due to Hurricane Florence. 

Rex is handsome boy who is looking for someone to bond with.  A family that will take him to training, provide structure and guidance.  As he is new to us we are still learning more about him, watch for updates.

Estee found herself in a shelter, so we have no history on her.  She is now in our care looking for her forever family.  She is such a sweet girl and enjoys the company of other dogs.  Training will help Estee settle in with her new family and way of life.  

Mira came to us from a not so good situation.  She was part of a breeding facility, she was not provided with proper care or adequate living conditions.  Thankfully after complaints and an investigation she, along with other dogs were confiscated.  Mira is now in our care where she is looking for a family that will provide her with a loving and warm home, where she means more to her family than just a puppy making machine. Mira is very outgoing and extremely smart.  She can open latches and will jump most any fence, she just loves to be with the other dogs and will stop at nothing to get to them.  Right now she is being treated a flight risk as we just don't know what she is capable of.  Training will go along way for Mira, it will not only teach her good manners, but training helps with mental stimulation which in turn burns off energy.  She is young, has a lot to learn, needs structure in a home and family can meet her needs.  Ask to meet this beauty.

Beautiful Bella found herself at a shelter, she is now with us looking for a cat free home.  Bella enjoys chasing and pawing at cats so she will not be suited for a home with cats.  She did well with dogs she was introduced to for dog on dog evaluation.  Of course, one of the most important things any dog requires is training and Bella is no exception.  With her smarts and eagerness to learn she should be the star of the class.

Angel was surrendered as a family member had allergies.  She is a friendly, well mannered girl.  She lived with children and does well with large dogs, she does not do well with small dogs.  Of course training with her new family is needed, as it will help you both learn more about each other and create a bond.  She is housebroken and crate trained.
