Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Waldo found himself in a shelter after he was picked up as a stray. He is a sweet, handsome boy who is looking for a forever family of his own. He is somewhat shy right now, but who can blame him with the recent changes he has been through. Training will help him build confidence, learn good manners and bond with his family.  Stay tuned for more updates on Waldo as we get to know him.

Sweet Denali was taken by animal control when they felt his owner could not properly care for him. Although he did amazingly well in the shelter environment, shelter staff recognized that Denali may meet with greater success finding his forever home with a rescue. When they asked us to help Denali move forward, we immediately welcomed this boy into the MAGSR family. 

Denali is a young, playful, and social guy. He is the definition of a happy dog. Outgoing with people and with other dogs, Denali wants to be friends with everyone. Due to a birth defect in his front leg, Denali moves around with a bit of a limp. Although this may seem concerning to onlookers, this is just part of daily life for Denali. He has always walked a little differently from the other dogs but doesn't let his differences define him. Denali is looking for a forever family that will provide him with the structure, leadership, and guidance that all GSDs crave. Excited to try new adventures, Denali will thrive in training. Training will not only help Denali bond with his new family but it will also help him develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to become. If Denali sounds like the right match for your household, please ask to meet him today. 

Sweet Han was a stray to shelter. Looking at his current condition, it is evident that Han has endured a lot over his short life. When no one came to claim Han, MAGSR stepped up to help this guy find a home that will commit to him for a lifetime.

Although Han has been through a lot, his hardship and suffering are over. As a member of the MAGSR family, Han will receive the food, medical care, and comforts the he deserves. Han is a friendly guy even though he has clearly suffered. Once comfortable, he gives soft kisses and big tail wags to his people. An expert in the car, Han rides well and settles down nicely. He does appear to already have started some crate training and will likely pick up other household skills quickly. If you can provide Han with the comfort and leadership that this fantastic guy deserves, please ask to meet him today. 

Handsome Sternis was brought to a trainer and abandoned by his owner. Although the trainer could tell that Sternis was an amazing guy, he could not bring in another dog. Without any other options available, the trainer took Sternis to a shelter hoping he would find a new forever family. Recognizing that Sternis deserved so much more than they might be able to provide, shelter staff immediately began networking Sternis to see if a rescue could help him find a family that would commit to him for a lifetime. When MAGSR heard his plea, we stepped forward.

Sternis is an absolute love. Everyone who meets him falls for this guy. Handsome, playful, and stable, Sternis has weathered the changes in his life well. However, he is ready to stop moving from one place to another. This boy is definitely ready for his forever home. As a young dog, Sternis still has a lot to learn about being a good canine citizen. A household that will provide structure, leadership, and consistency will help Sternis settle into his new life. Training will also be highly beneficial for Sternis as it will not only help him bond to his new family, but it will also help him develop the skills he needs to maintain his stable demeanor. Sternis is looking for a loving and active family that will provide him with opportunities to exercise his body and mind daily. If Sternis sounds like a good match for your family, ask to meet him today!

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.

Duke and his buddy, King, were surrendered to a shelter when their owner could no longer afford to provide them with the care they needed. When the boys arrived at the shelter, staff immediately realized that they were a special pair. Recognizing that Duke and King would have their best chance at remaining together in a forever home if they were placed in a rescue, the shelter reached out to MAGSR; we were happy to jump in and help out as this adorable pair was too sweet to pass up!

MAGSR has a long-standing policy of not leaving families behind. When we commit to a dog, we commit to the entire canine family whether or not they are GSDs. All members of a family are welcomed into MAGSR with the promise of finding everyone safe and loving forever homes.

King is a handsome, happy-go-lucky two year old purebred GSD that draws his security and confidence from his ten year old Jack Russell Terrier brother Duke! Just as King depends on Duke, Duke, who is blind, depends on King to guide him through life. This pair is not only bonded, but they are absolutely dependent on one another. They thrive together. 

Duke is an absolute sweetheart and as laid back as they come. His disability does not seem to slow this little guy down! He is a happy little guy that manages daily life just fine. Dogs are creatures of habits and have incredible memories so learning the lay of your home and yard will be an easy next step for Duke.

Duke and King, our sweet odd couple, are a special pair in need of a forever home. If you could see them fitting into your family please inquire today!! 

A good samaritan found little miss Myna wandering alone in a busy city. Knowing that this little girl needed a safe refuge, she was brought to a shelter where she waited for someone to come and claim her. When no one came for little Myna, MAGSR stepped in to help her find a loving forever home. Myna is a sweetheart who can be a little shy with new people. When given time to warm up her personality shines. As is true of all puppies, Myna will benefit from socialization and training. This will help her develop the skills needed to develop into a good canine citizen. Myna is currently living in a loving foster family; they are starting to teach her all of the ins and outs of living in a household. As they get to know Myna better, they will post updates here. If sweet Myna sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

Sweet and handsome Louis was found wandering around as a stray in a not so good area.  Fortunately, some kind people found him and brought him to the safe location where he waited for a family to come and claim him. When no one came for Louis, he was welcomed into the MAGSR family with the promise that we would find him a loving forever home. Louis is as sweet as they come. He is friendly with both people and dogs. In many ways Louis is a blank slate who is ready to move forward with his new family. Like all dogs, Louis 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. Louis is looking for a forever family that will commit to him for a lifetime. If Louis sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today. 

Teddy and his brother, Milton, are siblings from different litters. They were living with their parents and a few other dogs on a breeder's property. When the owner could no longer keep the dogs safe, they were surrendered to another rescue. Recognizing that both boys would likely have their best shot at finding their forever home in another region, Teddy and Milton were transferred to MAGSR. 

Teddy is a young and friendly guy. Having grown up with dogs of a variety of ages, he enjoys the company of other dogs. Teddy is playful and interactive. According to his owner, Teddy has grown up with children and did well with them. Although we know that Teddy had an owner, we are not sure if he was kept as an inside dog or an outside dog. We do know that he did not have any vetting prior to his arrival at MAGSR. Unfortunately, Teddy is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if he had been provided with monthly heartworm preventatives. Teddy has already begun his heartworm treatment and is doing well. The cost of Teddy's entire treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Treatment is expensive, but Teddy is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating toward Teddy's treatment. Your generosity will help us save him and other dogs with medical needs. Although Teddy 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, beautiful guy, please ask to meet him today. 

Sheena is a survivor. This special and incredibly sweet girl was used for years as a breeding dog. It was evident when rescuers came in to get her that this lovely lady had endured great pain and hardship. Emaciated and chained outside, Sheena was simply being used for puppy production. 

Although Sheena is a victim of cruelty and neglect, this lovely lady has the sweetest disposition. She is an incredible companion and has been friendly with everyone she has met. Our volunteers are simply in awe of her strength and resilience. Now that Sheena has joined the MAGSR family, she is experiencing kindness and love. Sheena is learning the rules of a household, basic commands, and the joy of a comfortable bed. At this time, Sheena is waiting patiently for a forever home that will provide her with the care and kindness she deserves. If Sheena sounds like a good match for your household, please ask to meet her today.
