Lovely Zayna was welcomed into her home as a puppy. Her family immediately fell in love with her and began implementing a framework for success. They made sure she had all of her puppy vetting completed, had her participate in puppy training, socialized her with people and other dogs, and even began adult training class. Unfortunately, poor breeding put a stop to all of their hard work as Zayna developed severe hip dysplasia that resulted in a hip dislocation. Due to the extentent of the injury, Zayna needed a full hip replacement. Although they loved Zayna, her family recognized that they could not afford the level of care she would need in order to move forward. As a result, they made the difficult decision to surrender her to MAGSR in order to get the care she needed. We promised that we would find Zayna a safe and loving forever family that would ensure she had everything she needs. 

Zayna is young, inquisitive, and energetic. It is highly evident that her family put a lot of work into providing her with experiences and opportunities to develop confidence. Playful and toy driven, Zayna understands the joys of chasing a ball or bouncing around with a favorite chew toy. Having lived in a home, she has a good understanding of the rules of living in a household. Zayna is both housebroken and crate trained. As a young shepherd, Zayna will continue to thrive in a household where she has structure, routine, and leadership. These are key features of a GSD savvy home. 

Unfortunately, due to the extent of her injury, Zayna is unable to participate in many of her favorite activities at this time. Fortunately, our vetting team has already begun to put plans in place to help Zayna move forward. Placed on anti-inflammatories while she gets everything in place for surgery, Zayna is comfortable and seems to understand that she needs to take it easy for right now. In order to correct her injury, Zayna will need a full hip replacement. Although this is a very expensive surgery, we know that this lovely girl is beyond worth the cost. Please consider donating to Zayna's care. Your donation will not only help us provide Zayna with the medical support she desperately needs, but it will also help us continue to support other medical dogs. Over the next few months Zayna will need to take it easy while she rests and recovers. However, she should be back to being her typical self in time. Please continue to watch for updates on Zayna as she continues her journey toward full recovery. 

Titan's family adored him. He brought endless love and joy to their family. However, due to circumstances beyond their control, they could no longer continue to care for him. Although this was a devastating decision, Titan's family knew he deserved every opportunity to find a new family who would love and care for him throughout his golden years. We promised them that we would make sure that Titan found the perfect home. 

Titan is a happy, friendly, and joyful guy. A big fan of cuddles and the lean in, Titan regularly seeks out affection from his people. Open to a variety of entertainment options, Titan loves balls, toys, and bones. Although Titan does enjoy his playtime, he is also very good at being a couch potato. He has just the right amount of energy for family life. As a mature fellow, Titan understands the rules of the household. He is housebroken and crate trained. His days of puppy behaviors are behind him. A great companion, Titan keeps an eye on his people and always wants to be part of the fun. 

As can happen with age, Titan does have some special needs. Titan has been diagnosed with chronic progressive cerebellar disease. This condition causes him to have some stability issues and some exaggerated movements. Although he lacks the smooth movements of a younger dog, Titan's condition does not impact his ability to love and be loved. Titan is looking for a household where he can avoid stairs as he is unable to navigate staircases safely. He will also need a home that has carpeted floors or mats to help him more effectively cross surfaces within the household. Titan is an incredibly special guy. If your household is looking for a sweet, affectionate, mature guy, ask to meet Titan today. 

Lovely little Paisley was picked up as a stray and brought to a local shelter. Although she waited patiently for her family to claim her, no one arrived to bring her home. Recognizing that this little lady would be best placed if in a rescue, shelter staff reached out for help. When we heard that Paisley was looking for rescue, our team immediately began putting things in place to welcome her to MAGSR. 

Happy-go-lucky Paisley is a social and interactive girl. She has clearly been well socialized with people and thinks that everyone should take a chance to say hi. Although she loves her people, as is true of all puppies, Paisley will need to learn manners. Not only is Paisley social with people, she is also social with other animals. She is the life of the party and happy to bring joy wherever she goes. Typical of any GSD, Paisley will definitely need play time but she will also need structure, routine, and leadership. This will help her develop the mindset needed to become a confident and stable adult GSD. Although Miss Paisley is cute as a button, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, bark, chew on inappropriate things, and have accidents. With time, patience, routine, and regular exercise, Paisley will become the good canine citizen we know she is destined to be. If this little love bug sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

Handsome Bosco was picked up as a stray with his mate, Brandi. These two incredible dogs had clearly been through some difficult times. Recognizing that these incredible dogs would be most successful if they decompressed in foster homes, another rescue arranged for them to stay in foster families while they waited out their stray hold. Both dogs were placed in loving foster homes with other dogs. When their stray hold had ended and they had had some time to decompress, we were asked if we could welcome both dogs into the rescue. Really, who could say no to such a lovely pair of dogs?

Bosco is a big, intelligent, and driven guy. He reads the handler very well but will, like many driven shepherds, will push the line if he has an opportunity. For this reason, Bosco will be best suited for an experienced GSD household. A huge fan of balls, Bosco is hoping that his forever family has a good throwing arm and enjoys play time just as much as he does. As is true of all shepherds, Bosco will thrive in a household that provides him with structure, guidance, and routine. Although Bosco has already begun training, it is essential that his new family continue this process. Training will not only help Bosco bond with his forever family but it will also help him become a good canine citizen. If Bosco sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet this big guy today!
