Megan
ADOPTED 04/17/2021!
Good With Kids: Unknown
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Beautiful Diana and her housemates, Megan and Harry, were confiscated from their owner. Although all three dogs get along with one another, it appears that Diana is a little more timid than the other two. As this set of dogs have relied on one another for comfort and safety, they clearly enjoy and appreciate the companionship of another dog. When confiscated, it was clear to animal control officers that these three were not well cared for or socialized around other people. As a result, they all require some time to adjust to new people and situations. Diana appears to be the least socialized of the three. She is still learning that people can be kind and caring. Best suited for a quiet household, Diana will need time, patience, and leadership as she moves forward. Training is an essential aspect of recovery particularly with a fearful dog. As a confidence building activity and a socialization opportunity, Diana will gain stability and trust through training. Although her humans have failed her in the past, Diana is ready to move forward. Is your family the right match for her?
Updates:Megan is housebroken and crate trained. She lets her fosters know when she needs to go out. She LOVES TO SNUGGLE, and when she recognizes a treat she will automatically sit for it. She doesn't like to be alone if there are others in the house-- she will try to be near you. Megan arrived with an upper respiratory infection so she is annoyed she cannot play with the resident dogs, but hopefully that will change soon as she is on antibiotics and on the mend. If you are looking for a loyal dog that just wants to be loved and with your human, Megan is the one.
Zenobia
ADOPTED 04/17/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Sweet Zenobia 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, Zenobia is a super puppy. She cannot ever contract this horrible disease again. Ready to move onto a life of love, cuddles, and safety, Zenobia cannot wait to meet her forever family. Although Zenobia 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, Zenobia will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to become. If Zenobia sounds like the right match for your family, please ask to meet her today.
Stewie
ADOPTED 04/17/2021!
Good With Kids: Unknown
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Sweet Stewie was picked up as a stray. When he arrived at the shelter, he quickly won over shelter staff with his friendly and outgoing personality. Recognizing that Stewie had some medical needs that would need to be addressed, the shelter staff felt that Stewie would have his best chance at finding his forever home in a rescue. When asked to welcome Stewie into the MAGSR family, we immediately started putting plans into place to help Stewie move forward.
Stewie is a social guy. He enjoys the company of people and other dogs. As a playful guy, Stewie loves to play with toys of all varieties. He is good about sharing his toys and treats with others. At the shelter he even made sure to try to share his food with a visiting pot bellied pig! Stewie has been diagnosed as heartworm positive. His entire treatment will be handled by MAGSR. Although this will mean that Stewie will need to take it slow for a little while, once his treatment is completed he will be back to full strength. Stewie is looking for a forever family that has plenty of toys and will commit to him for a lifetime. If Stewie sounds like the right match for your household, please ask to meet him today.
Andy
ADOPTED 04/17/2021!
Good With Kids: Unknown
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Sweet Andy was picked up as a stray and brought to the shelter in the South where he waited patiently for someone to come for him and sadly no one did. Unfortunately, he was continuously passed by and with time running short, he needed a rescue to step in. We were pleased to be that rescue and welcomed him into the MAGSR family with the promise that we would find him a loving forever home.
Andy is as sweet as they come and wows everyone with his gentle and easy-going personality. He is friendly with both people and dogs. In many ways Andy is a blank slate who is ready to move forward with his new family. Like all dogs, Andy will benefit from training as it will not only help him integrate into his new family, but it will also help him become a good canine citizen
Unfortunately, Andy is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if he had been provided with monthly heartworm preventatives. Andy has already begun his heartworm treatment and is doing well. The cost of Andy's entire treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Treatment is expensive, but Andy is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating toward Andy's treatment. Your generosity will help us save him and other dogs with medical needs. Although Andy will need to take it slow over the next few months, he will be back to full strength once his treatment is finished.
Andy is looking for a forever family that will commit to him for a lifetime. If your household is looking for a sweet, beautiful guy, please ask to meet him today.
Gotti
ADOPTED 04/17/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Sweet Gotti was picked up as a stray in a busy city. This boy immediately caught the attention of shelter staff with his goofy and playful personality. As the shelter had very limited space, they immediately began sending out rescue pleas for Gotti. Recognizing this young guy deserves a loving forever home, we welcomed him into the MAGSR family. In many ways Gotti is a blank slate just waiting for his chance to impress the world with his adorable personality. Like any young dog, Gotti will excel with structure, patience, and leadership. Training will go a long way with this boy. It will not only help him bond to his new family but it will also help him develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to be. Gotti is looking for an active family. If he sounds like the right match for you, ask to meet him today.
Sirius
ADOPTED 04/17/2021!
Good With Kids: Unknown
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Sirius and another male were picked up by animal control when they were found showing too much interest in a female dog in heat running loose. Although Sirius waited for his family to reclaim him, no one came to bring him home. Sirius quickly became a shelter staff favorite. Recognizing that Sirius would have his best chance at finding a forever home outside of the shelter, he was transferred to MAGSR.
Sirius is a sweet dog who can be a little timid with new people. When given the opportunity to warm up Sirius enjoys the company of his people. Clearly having been on leash before, Sirius seems to understand some leash manners already. When introduced to dogs at the shelter, Sirius did well particularly, with the females. He even kept his cool when one of them was having a rough day. As a young dog, Sirius will thrive in a home that provides him with structure and routine. Training will go a long way with this boy as it will not only help him bond with his new family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen. Sirius will do well in a more experienced household that can provide him with the leadership that he craves. If Sirius sounds like the right match for your household, please ask him today.
Updates:Sirius is a very sweet and loving boy. He enjoys belly rubs and is working on perfecting his "shepherd lean". When I am home, I allow Sirius to free roam the house. He is always close by, but not right on top of you. He enjoys lounging around the house (probably a good thing as he recovers from heart worms). He does very well on leash, he is housebroken and crate trained. He is very friendly with new people and approaches them without hesitation and a wagging tail. He does not show aggression towards other dogs we pass while walking for potty breaks.
Sirius does get nervous and shows anxiety when left at home alone, his foster is working with him to learn to be confident and comfortable. If you are looking for a best friend that just wants to be with his humans, please reach out to meet this handsome guy.
Jam
ADOPTED 04/17/2021!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 12
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Jam's family loved him dearly; however, they found themselves in a situation where Jam needed to be rehomed. Although it was very hard to say goodbye, Jam's family recognized that this was in his best interest. MAGSR promised Jam's family that we would find him a safe and loving forever home.
Jam is a friendly guy. He is a fan of both people and dogs but can get a little overexcited when meeting them and stop to talk a bit. We all love to socialize. A big fan of walks, Jam understands that when the leash comes out it is time to go. Although he knows many commands on leash, refreshers are always a good thing for everyone. As is true of any new dog, Jam will meet with success in a structured environment that will provide him with time and leadership while he adjusts to his new home. As a working line dog, Jam will need both his body and mind exercised on a daily basis. When engaging with Jam, he is most excited by balls, rubber bones, and food based toys. Although he wouldn't mind plush toys either, Jam tends to destroy them. Something a little stronger is safer in Jam's case. If you love to throw the ball, Jam is the dog for you. He loves a nice rotation when chasing the ball. We hear three is the magic number with Jam. Daily exercise will not only help Jam adjust positively to his new environment but it will also help him gain stability as he moves forward. Jam is clearly a special guy who is looking for the perfect forever home. Is that home with you?
Updates:Jam is living with his foster and they have reported he is a gentle, well behaved dog. He seems to love people, is somewhat trained and really easy to handle. He is housebroken and crate trained. If you are looking for an older, gentle dog that is well behaved please ask to meet this handsome boy.
Jam may be called a Senior, but don't be fooled this guy is energetic and active.
Jam is fully housebroken and crate trained. He doesn’t lay on furniture, does not counter surf, does not beg at the dinner table and is well mannered. He’s a real gentleman inside the house but he has his way of telling you when he wants to go out or needs more water. This guy will sleep in his crate all through the night without a peep.
He loves to play tug of war with his Red Bone but when you have had enough, he lays down and chews on it. He’s a big, strong boy who loves to go on walks but is much too busy sniffing around to pull anyone along. He knows several commands but could use a refresher course or just more practice. Of course, he’ll do anything for food or a snack.
He has a big bark but we’ve never seen a snarl or growl. He loves meeting new people and gets excited to meet other dogs but settles down after proper introductions.
If you want someone to spend some time with and respond unconditionally, Jam’s the right dog!

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

Sasha
ADOPTED 04/12/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Sasha's family loved her dearly. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, they could no longer care for her. Although surrendering her was a difficult decision, they knew this would give Sasha her best chance at finding a safe and loving forever home. We promised Sasha's family that we would find her the perfect forever family. Sasha is a lovely girl. She is charming and playful when comfortable with her people. We have been told she is good with children, dogs, and cats. However, like many young dogs, sometimes she gets a little rough with the cats. When corrected by them, she recognizes their boundaries and moves on.
Although this sweet southern girl is a doll with her family, she will need continued socialization and training. Having had limited experiences within the community, Sasha will need time, patience, and leadership as she learns about the world around her. Sasha will thrive in an environment where structure and routine are infused into daily activities. She will do well with a family that understands and has experience with the breed. With time, patience, guidance and training, Sasha will develop into the good canine citizen she is destined to become. If Sasha sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today.
Fox
ADOPTED 04/12/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes
Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Lovely Fox was a victim of cruelty and neglect. Fortunately, when animal services learned of her situation, they moved quickly to help Fox as well as other animals in the household. Although this sweet girl was adjusting to her new circumstances, shelter staff recognized that Fox would have her best chance at finding a loving forever home if she was transferred to a rescue. When asked to help Fox move forward, MAGSR immediately stepped up.
Fox is a beautiful girl both inside and out. Although she has had to endure circumstances that no one should have to live through, her sweet spirit remains. As she can be a little timid when first new people, Fox warms up quickly with patience and kindness. A few high value treats also go a long way. Once comfortable, Fox is your typical young shepherd. She enjoys snuggles, being close to her people, and goofing around. Currently living with senior GSDs and a few cats, Fox enjoys the company of animals that will give her a minute to warm up to them. She seems most comfortable with one of the pushy, dog-savvy cats. As is true of most shepherds, Fox will benefit greatly from training. This will not only help her bond with her new family, but it will also help her develop confidence. If Fox sounds like the right match for your family, please ask to meet her today.
