DESCRIPTION:

Lovely Lili lived in a household with dogs of various ages and sizes. Although she did well overall, like many GSDs when structure wasn't an option, Lili would provide that structure which got her into a few scuffles with her furry siblings. Recognizing that Lili would be most successful if rehomed, her family made the difficult decision to surrender her to MAGSR. We promised we would find Lili the perfect family that would love her for a lifetime. 

Lili is an active, intelligent, and friendly girl. It is clear that she was well socialized with people. Having been placed with a foster family that is providing her with daily exercise and training, Lili is excelling. She picks up new commands quickly and does a nice job taking her cues from her handler. Not only is Lili learning expectations, but she is also gaining endless opportunities to socialize with other animals in varied environments. This is helping her develop into a stable and confident dog. Having lived in a household, Lili understands many of the rules and expectations of a home. House broken and crate trained, Lili has a great start. However, as is true for all new dogs, she will need time to adjust to her forever home. An active girl, Lili is hoping her new family enjoys long walks, adventures, and plenty of play time. Although Lili has already begun training, it is critical that her new family continue this process. Not only will training help Lili develop into a good citizen, but it will also help her develop a strong and healthy bond with her forever family. If this stunning girl sounds like a good match for your household, ask to meet Lili today!

DESCRIPTION:

Mama Maxie was surrendered to a local shelter. Shortly after her arrival, she decided to unveil a not so little secret and gave birth to five adorable babies - Colt, Falcon, Bronco, Saint, and Panther. We are lovingly calling them the football puppies. Recognizing that raising puppies in a shelter can be very dangerous for the entire family, staff members began reaching out to rescues for help. When we heard about Mama Maxie and her football puppies, our team immediately began putting plans in place to welcome the entire family to MAGSR. 

Over the last several weeks, MAGSR has been fortunate to have a groomer, mobile vet, volunteers, and an amazing foster family working together to ensure that Mama Maxie and her family have everything they need. This has helped them thrive. Now that the babies and Mama Maxie are just about ready to find their forever homes, it is time to share them with the world. Bronco is the middle man of the pack. He loves everyone and gets along well with the varied personalities of the pack. Happy to run around and play in between nap sessions. This active boy is hoping his forever family has plenty of toys to share. All members of the family will be ready for adoption on 10/14/23.

Although Bronco is an absolute cutie, 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, training, and leadership, the football puppies will grow into the stable and confident adults we know they are destined to become. If goofy little Bronco sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today.

Current Size: 53 lbs
Ideal/Potential Size: 60 lbs

DESCRIPTION:

Sweet Clarice was found hungry, hurt, and alone in a busy metropolitan area. Recognizing that she needed help and fast, her finder contacted the local shelter and had her moved inside. Shelter staff immediately fell in love with this girl. She was friendly and affectionate even though she was clearly in pain. While she waited for a family to come and claim her, medical support began in order to help Clarice move forward. Unfortunately, when no one came, Clarice found herself on the euthanasia list. Shelters everywhere are experiencing overwhelming numbers which has increased euthanasia rates across the country. Knowing that Clarice deserved a loving family that would treasure her for a lifetime, shelter staff put out a plea for help. MAGSR heard that Clarice was out of options and stepped forward to help this special girl.

Clarice is beautiful, playful, and affectionate. Having clearly been well socialized with people of all ages as well as other dogs, it is obvious that someone along her journey provided her with opportunities to develop into a stable adult dog. Although we do not know much about her past life, we do know that Clarice does understand some of the ins and outs of living in a household. However, as is true of any new dog, Clarice will benefit from structure, routine, and leadership. This will help her adjust to the rules and routines of the household. Clarice has already begun to learn some commands with her foster family. She is clearly intelligent. As Clarice continues to move forward, it is imperative that her forever family continue with training. Training will not only help Clarice develop a strong bond with her family, but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. Clarice is looking for an amazing family who will love her for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for you, ask to meet Clarice today!

Current Size: 58 lbs
Ideal/Potential Size: 85 lbs
Housebroken: Unknown
Obedience Trained: Working on it

Good With Kids: Unknown
Good With Cats: Unknown
Other Dogs OK: Likely
DESCRIPTION:

Lovely little Ellen was picked up as a stray and brought to a local shelter. Although it was clear that this girl was socialized with people, no one came to claim her. Recognizing that shepherds are most successful when placed through a breed specific rescue, the shelter sent out a rescue plea with the hopes that the little lady would find placement. When MAGSR heard that Ellen needed a soft place to land, our team began putting plans in place to help her move forward. 

Ellen is a friendly and affectionate girl. It is obvious that she was well socialized with new people. She approaches with tail wags and kisses. Clearly accustomed to toys, Ellen is a fan of the ball but is still working on returning it to her handler. Although playful and interactive, it is clear that Ellen has not had a lot of training. She knows sit and seems to know down. However, she is still learning many of the basics. Training will go a long way with this girl. Not only will training help her develop a strong, healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop into a stable and confident adult shepherd. As is true of all shepherds, Ellen will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. Clear expectations and opportunities to meet with success will help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. As Ellen is in many ways still a pup, it is important that her family exercise both her body and her mind on a daily basis. Lovely little Ellen is looking for an active forever family that will provide her with a lifetime of love. Could that be with you?

Current Size: 65 lbs
Ideal/Potential Size: 75 lbs
Housebroken: Yes
Obedience Trained: Working on it

Good With Kids: Unknown
Good With Cats: Unknown
Other Dogs OK: Likely
DESCRIPTION:

Lovely Miss Annabelle was adopted out as a puppy. Her family adored her and did everything they could to help her meet with success. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond their control, they could no longer provide Annabelle with the life they knew she deserved. As a result, they made the difficult decision to surrender her back to the MAGSR family. We promised Annabelle's family that we would find her an incredible forever family. 

Annabelle is a stunning girl. Her eye-catching colors and look easily attract people to her. Having been socialized both inside and outside of the house, Annabelle does well when meeting new people. However, as is characteristic of the breed, she often needs a moment to initiate new interactions. Annabelle is looking for a forever family that will continue to socialize her with new people and in new environments in a controlled manner. This will help her continue to build confidence. As a young shepherd, Annabelle is hoping to find an active family that will exercise both her body and her mind on a daily basis. Already a big fan of toys and balls, Annabelle loves play time. She hopes her forever family has plenty of toys to keep her occupied. Although Annabelle already knows a few commands, it is important that she participate in training with her new family. Training will not only help Annabelle develop a strong, healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her develop into a stable and confident adult dog. If this stunning girl sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

Embedded thumbnail for Cooper-MAGSR-2022
Gender: Male
Breed: German Shepherd Dog
Approximate Age: 4 years 2 months
Color: Black & Tan
Current Size: 55
Ideal/Potential Size: 65
Housebroken: Yes
Obedience Trained: Basic Commands
Altered: Yes

Good With Kids: Older kids, over 16
Good With Cats: Unknown
Other Dogs OK: Yes, with proper introduction
DESCRIPTION:

Joyful Cooper has been moved about a few times in his young life. However, he was lucky that the right people stepped in and recognized that a young, social guy like him would thrive in a household that had the time and energy to work with him. So, they brought Cooper to a local shelter where staff members fell in love with this interactive guy. Although Cooper easily won over the hearts of the shelter team, they recognized that he would be most successful if he found placement through a rescue. When we heard about Cooper's need for placement, we immediately welcomed him to the MAGSR family. 

Cooper is an interactive and social boy. He clearly has had the opportunity to interact with others throughout his puppyhood. Although Cooper definitely has a great start, continued socialization is imperative to his success as an adult. Typical of most young GSDs, Cooper has a lot of energy. It will be essential that Cooper's family exercise his body and his mind on a daily basis. This will help him maintain a stable and confident mindset. Although Cooper is still very young, he has already begun to learn some basic commands. His intelligence, willingness to please, and his food motivation makes him a great student. Cooper will excel in training class. Training will not only help Cooper develop a strong and healthy bond with his family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen that we know that he is destined to be. Cooper is looking for a loving and active household who will love him for a lifetime. Could this be with you?

Updates:

Cooper has been with us for a little over a week, and he is already running with ur pack of two GSDs, Nala and Vader.  He clearly looks up to Vader, and he desperately wants to win over Nala (who is not as friendly as Vader!).  He hasd had no issues socializing with Nala and Vader, and he would play with Vader 24/7 if Vader would relent and do so.  He has boundless energy, but he is, thankfully, good at entertaining himself.  He enjoys chewing all shapes, sizes, and types of bones and tugging on the tuffy toy rings.  He is starved for love and comes by regularly for pets and snuggles when we are sitting on the couch.

Cooper came to us after a few weeks of formal training, and he knows and understands his commands.  Temptation sometimes get the best of him, but he gets back in line easily when he is corrected. He is housebroken and can tell you when he needs to go out (he paces in a circle or scratches the door), and he sleeps in our mudroom at night (gated in) with no barking or other issues.  He walks fairly well on the leash.  He is occasionally reactive to another dog, but it is clearly fear rather than aggression. He is a voracious eater, which is good news because he needs to gain some weight! 

The original description uses the best word we can think of for Cooper – he is joyful.  Despite his rough start in life, he is a happy, easygoing, loving, playful dog. Any family would be lucky to have Cooper.

DESCRIPTION:

‘Social Stryker” is just strutn’ his stuff as a happy, 9 month old GSD mix! This young fella was an owner-surrender to the shelter because his previous owners didn’t understand the puppy energy of a seriously happy, GSD mix. Since he is absolutely full of life, happy to meet people, ‘Social Stryer’ has put in an application to be the ambassador of the GSD-mix at a store (probably Walmart) near you! As with any eager, happy go-lucky puppy, he’s unaware of his surroundings and his jovial demeanor can sometimes be overwhelming if not properly contained and trained.  

‘Social Stryer’ is eager to find the right FUR-ever family, and would really thrive in an environment where he is provided the basic necessities of a growing puppy -  training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance.  

If ‘Social Stryer’ sounds like the happy hours, days and weeks you would like to emBARK upon, please ask to add her to your family today!

Gender: Female
Breed: German Shepherd Dog

Current Size: 40 lbs
Ideal/Potential Size: 65 lbs
Housebroken: Working on it
Obedience Trained: No
Altered: No

Good With Kids: Unknown
Good With Cats: Unknown
Other Dogs OK: Likely
DESCRIPTION:

Zara and her buddy, Zappa, were dumped by a pet store in the south. Although it was evident that both dogs were sweet, they needed immediate help if they were going to survive. Fortunately, another rescue stepped forward to get the pups off the street and into safe homes while shelters were contacted and a stray hold began. Although they worked with local groups to try to find Zara and Zappa a safe place to go, with overcrowding at unprecedented numbers, once again these babies needed someone to step in. When asked if MAGSR could help both Zara and Zappa move forward safely, our team immediately began working to put a plan in place in order to welcome them to the family. 

Although they have been abandoned, left to survive on their own, and treated cruelly by some people in the neighborhood where they were dumped, both Zara and Zappa remain sweet pups. They enjoy the company of their people and other animals. Having had the luck of living in foster homes while waiting to move up to MAGSR, these babies have already begun to learn the ins and outs of living in a home. However, as is true of all new dogs, they will need some time to adjust to the routines and expectations of their forever families. In order to provide Zara and Zappa with a solid foundation, it is critical that their families begin training. Training will not only help these babies develop a strong and healthy bond with their forever families, but it will also help them grow into stable and confident adults. 

Although Zara and Zappa are absolutely adorable, 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, routine, and training these babies will grow into well-rounded adults. If Zara or Zappa sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet them today!

DESCRIPTION:

Marvelous Murphy was adored by his family. They made sure he had everything he needed. Although they loved him dearly, due to circumstances beyond their control, they were unable to continue to provide for this incredible boy. Recognizing that Murphy deserved an amazing forever family, they asked MAGSR to welcome Murphy to the family so that we could find the right match. We were honored by their request, and were happy to welcome Murphy to MAGSR. 

Murphy is a social and intelligent guy. As is true of all shepherds he has some good energy and is most successful when he has daily exercise. He thrives when given structure, routine, and leadership. Having lived in a home since he was a young pup, Murphy understands many of the ins and out of living in a home. A snuggler at heart, Murphy is hoping his family also enjoys cuddles. He is housebroken, crate trained, and understands rules and boundaries. Although Murphy already knows a lot about living in a home, it will take him some time to adjust to his forever home. However, given patience and clear routines, we are sure he will adjust well. True to the breed, Murphy can be protective of his people, however, with consistent boundaries and expectations he does well. Continued training will go a long way with this guy. Murphy is looking for a forever family that will cherish him for a lifetime, could that be with you?
