Sweet Abel was picked up as a stray in the south. Although he waited for his family to claim him, no one came looking. As it was felt that Abel would have his best chance at finding a safe and loving forever home in another region, a rescue plea went out. MAGSR answered the call.

Abel is an absolute honey. He was clearly well socialized before he arrived at the shelter. A fan of people of all ages as well as dogs of all sizes, Abel brings joy to everyone he meets. Although Abel is a good sized boy already, he seems to be developing some leash manners already. As is true of any young dog, Abel will thrive with structure, routine and guidance. Training will go a long way with this handsome guy as it will not only help him bond with his new family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen.

Unfortunately, we have learned that Abel is heartworm positive. This condition could have been avoided had he been provided with monthly heartworm preventatives. MAGSR has begun his heartworm treatment and Abel is doing well. The cost of his entire treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Treatment is expensive, but Abel is clearly worth the cost. Please consider donating toward Abels treatment. Your generosity will help us save him and other dogs with medical needs. Although Abel will need to take it slow over the next few months, he will be back to full strength once his treatment is finished. If your household is looking for a sweet, playful guy, please ask to meet Abel today.

Sweet Zinnia and her little family were dumped and forced to fend for themselves. Fortunately, a good samaritan found this little group of puppies and quickly brought them to the safety of a shelter. Although they presented as typical puppies on arrival, unfortunately, within a few days these babies broke with parvo. This horrifying virus takes so many young lives too soon. An immediate plea was sent out for help. With the support of an amazing team of veterinarians and a kind donor, MAGSR was able to get this little family the help they needed. Against the odds, all three little fighters survived. 

Having survived parvo, Zinnia is a super puppy. She cannot ever contract this horrible disease again. Ready to move onto a life of love, cuddles, and safety, Zinnia cannot wait to meet her forever family.

Although Zinnia is beyond sweet, please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require an endless amount of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy antics, get into things, and chew on inappropriate items. With time, patience, guidance, and training, Zinnia will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to become. If Zinnia sounds like the right match for your family, please ask to meet her today. 

Lovely Lady and her brother Roscoe were part of a litter of puppies that were bred for sale. When she did not catch the eye of potential buyers, her owner kept her on the property for potential breeding when she was older. Although given food and water, Lady's owner did not provide her with adequate shelter, socialization, or vetting care. When her living conditions were discovered, another rescuer worked with Lady's owner to have her and her brother surrendered to MAGSR.

Lady is in many ways your typical young GSD. She is playful, curious, and energetic. Although she does need a little time to warm up to new people. Lady's delightful personality quickly shines through. She easily wins you over with her puppy antics. As Lady was previously kept outdoors with a metal shed for shelter, she has not had the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of a comfortable household and a soft bed. Her new family will need to slowly introduce her to the household so that she has time to adjust. As is true with all dogs, Lady will thrive in a household where she has structure, routine, and leadership. This will help her develop the stability and confidence that all dogs need to be successful. Daily exercise and interaction will also contribute to Lady's success. If this lovely little girl sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

D.W.'s family abandoned her in a culvert. Fortunately, an amazing family heard her cries and rescued her. Although they quickly recognized that D.W. is a very special girl, they knew that she needed a family that could provide her with the time and attention she deserved. As a result, they started reaching out to the rescue community for help. Fortunately, the right people heard of D.W.'s need and contacted MAGSR. The rest is history.

D.W.'s first two years likely lacked the structure, consistency, and attention that all shepherds crave. Fortunately, once in MAGSR's care, D.W. was placed in an amazing foster home that worked with her on a daily basis. Living with a pack of dogs of varied ages and sizes, D.W. had the opportunity to begin developing social skills in a controlled manner. Additional opportunities to socialize in a wide variety of environments were also provided. This has helped D.W. more effectively interact with new people in a variety of situations. Although D.W. is moving forward with a solid foundation of skills, it will be necessary that her new family continue to work with her to further support her social skills with humans and dogs. D.W. is a lovely and active dog. She will thrive in a household that will exercise both her body and her mind on a daily basis. Training is an essential next step for D.W. as it will not only help her bond to her forever family but it will also help her develop into a stable and confident canine citizen. If D.W. sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet this special girl today.
