Delightful Rose, her mom - Magnolia, and her siblings - Basil, Blaze, Bud, Cedar, Fleury, Ren, Quill, Daissy, Magnum, and Iris - have been living with a foster family for several weeks. This large and lovely family quickly joined the MAGSR family soon after Magnolia arrived at a shelter in labor. As a shelter is no place for moms and pups, staff worked quickly to move Magnolia into our care so that she could raise her little ones in a safe and calm environment. Magnolia has done an incredible job with her pups and has made sure that all eleven of them were well cared for and healthy. However, in a couple of weeks, she will be ready to say goodbye as the entire family will be ready to find forever homes of their own.

Lovely Tort, her mom - Sugar Pie - and her five siblings - Crumble, Cobbler, Cake, Pudding, and Sundae - were dumped in the south when the puppies were just hours old. Fortunately, the right people found them and immediately started networking to help this family move forward. With rescue support provided and a plan in place, the little family was moved into an experienced foster home so that they could receive the love and attention needed to survive. Although they struggled at first, with time, attention, and some extra love, the pups and their mom pulled through.

Miko was adored by his family. However, due to circumstances beyond their control, they could no longer keep him. Recognizing that this guy would be most successful in a GSD savvy household, they decided to surrender him to MAGSR. Although this was a heartbreaking decision, they knew that Miko deserved a loving family that could commit to him for a lifetime. We promised Miko's family that we would find him the perfect match. 

Miko is a big, handsome, and active guy. Playful and a huge fan of playing ball, Miko is looking for an active household that will exercise his body and his mind on a daily basis. Clearly intelligent, Miko does a nice job reading his handler. However, true to the breed, he will find weakness if it exists. As a result, Miko would be best placed in an experienced GSD household. Prior to his arrival, Miko's family made sure that he participated in a board and train program with additional practice on weekends. As a result, he does know several commands. Although Miko has a good foundation already, it is imperative that his new family continue training with him.

Lovely little Tazanna was living with a young woman who loved her but couldn't provide her with the care she needed. Recognizing that this was not fair to Tazanna, her owner surrendered her to another rescue so that Tazanna would have the chance at the life and love that she deserved. Although this was a difficult decision, Tazanna's mom knew that this was in Tazanna's best interest. We welcomed Tazanna into the MAGSR family as it was felt she would be most successful in another region. 

Tazanna is a lovely little girl. As is true of many dogs that have lacked opportunities to socialize, Tazanna can be timid with new people and in new situations. However, when given a little time, she warms up nicely. Although her foster family is working with Tazanna to further develop her socialization skills, it will be critical that her forever family continue this process. A well-socialized puppy will develop into a stable adult. Already crate trained, Tazanna is making excellent strides toward becoming housebroken. She is also learning some basic commands and has already learned sit and come. This smart girl will be a joy in training class. Training will not only help Tazanna bond to her new family but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. Good with cats and dogs, Tazanna enjoys her furry companions. However, as a puppy, she still does some chasing. As she loves to play ball, Tazanna's foster family will be working with her to redirect that chasing to toys and balls. Tazanna is looking for a forever family that will commit to her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Handsome Igor was picked up as a stray in the south. Although he was brought to a shelter where he waited for his family, no one came to claim him. Due to overcrowding at the shelter, Igor needed to get out and fast. When asked if we could help Igor move forward, MAGSR immediately stepped forward. 

Igor is in many ways your typical young shepherd. He is young, playful, energetic and a complete goofball. It is very evident that somewhere along the way Igor was socialized with people and other dogs. However, it is evident that he has yet to develop his doggy manners. As a big guy, it is essential that Igor have the opportunity to develop these manners early on with his new family. Training will go a long way with this big guy as it will not only help Igor bond to his new family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen. As Igor arrived as a stray, we do not know if he has had the opportunity to live in a household. In many ways he is starting from a clean slate. Like all young shepherds, Igor will thrive in a household where he has structure, routine, and leadership. If this big, sweet guy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today. 

Sally and her Cars Puppies were rescued in the south by another group. As they wanted to do right by this lovely family, they began reaching out to other groups who would be able to support the family until they were ready to find forever homes of their own. When asked to welcome this family into the MAGSR family, we immediately said yes. 

Sally was a known homeless dog in the community in which she lived. She often visited members of the community and was friendly and gentle. When Sally became pregnant, a community member began working with a rescue group to trap Sally and her family. It took some time; however, they met with success and Sally and her babies were ready to move forward to lives of comfort and safety. Sally is an incredible mommy. She has done a wonderful job caring for her 10 babies. However, she now deserves a family of her very own that will love and care for her with the same kindness she has shown her babies. In many ways Sally is still a baby herself. She will thrive in an environment that provides her with the structure, routine, and guidance that all dogs crave. Training will be key to Sally's success as it will not only help her bond with her new family, but it will also help her develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to be. If this lovely girl sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today. 

From about six months of age until February, 2021, every day of Ruger‘s life followed the same neglectful routine - chained up to a pin in the ground outside of her owner’s home. This routine lasted about 16 hours of every day; the other eight hours were spent in a crate in the basement of her owner’s home. Unfortunately, this routine never changed and never included any human interaction, play time, positive interaction, or attention. Ruger was never socialized to other dogs nor did she receive any veterinary care. Her life consisted of a chain, food, water and a small igloo for shelter. When her owner broke his hip, neighbors who had witnessed this horrible neglect took action. They stepped in to have Ruger surrendered and quickly removed from the life she had been living. Ruger went from living on a chain to living in a home with people who would begin to meet her needs.  

Despite her past, Ruger is a loving dog particularly, once she has had a chance to adjust to her people and surroundings. Although she is an adult, she acts and plays very much like a puppy. This is largely due to the fact that she never had an opportunity to play prior to her rescue in February. Now that she has had the opportunity to learn about toys, Ruger is a big fan. One of her favorite activities is playing with rope toys and thrashing them back-and-forth. In addition to toys, Ruger has become a big proponent of riding in her foster family's RTV. She is an excellent passenger. She even uses the RTV when her foster family is outside doing yard work as she loves to lay in the seats and soak up the sun.

Having lived in a loving household since the late winter, Ruger has had the opportunity to learn some of the ins and outs of living in a household. She understands many of the rules of living in a home but will need to fine tune those skills to meet the routines of her forever family. Ruger will thrive in a household where she has consistency, structure and routine. Although Ruger has participated in obedience training and knows many commands, she will need to continue training with her new family. Training will not only help her bond with her new family, but it will also help her develop into the stable adult we know she is destined to become. Ruger is looking for a loving home that will care for her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?
