Zoe is a survivor. Owned by a hoarder in the south and used for breeding purposes, Zoe's life had been filled with pain and suffering. However, when another rescue stepped up and removed Zoe and several other dogs from the premises, Zoe's life changed forever. Recognizing that Zoe would have her best chance at finding a forever home in the north, she was transferred to MAGSR. Although we are still getting to know Zoe, it is clear that even with all of the suffering that she has endured, he is a sweet and affectionate girl. Zoe needs a little time to adjust to new people and new situations; however, we are impressed by her kind and resilient nature. As is true of all other dogs, Zoe will be most successful when provided with structure and leadership. Training will help her further develop her confidence as well as bond with her new family.

Although Zoe is clearly a special girl, we have learned that she is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if her caretakers had kept her on monthly heartworm preventatives. Zoe has begun her heartworm treatment and is doing well. The cost of Zoe's entire treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Treatment is expensive, but Zoe is definitely worth the cost. Please donate toward Zoe's treatment, your generosity will help us save her and other dogs with medical needs. Although Zoe will need to take it slow over the next few months, she will be back to full strength once her treatment is finished. If your household is the right match for Zoe, please ask to meet her. 

Lovely Nadia and her siblings- Nathan, Natalie, Nancy, and Nellie, were dropped off at a shelter when their owner could not afford their care. This cute little family needed rescue immediately as a shelter is not a safe place for puppies. When MAGSR heard the shelter's plea, we stepped up to help these adorable babies find their forever homes.   

Although Nadia is an absolute joy, please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy antics and can be mischievous – they will whine, have accidents, get into things, and chew on inappropriate things. With time, patience, guidance and training, Nadia will develop into the good canine citizen she is destined to become.

Gemma and her sister, Requi, lived with a family who got tired of having dogs so they left them outside leaving the dogs with limited resources. As if this wasn't hard enough, the family then decided to move away and abandoned the girls along with two other dogs on the property. Another rescue group heard about these traumatized pups and decided to try and intervene. That's when MAGSR got a call. As MAGSR has a policy of never leaving families behind, we brought all 4 dogs to safety. Fortunately, MAGSR was able to work with other rescues to find safe homes for the two additional dogs on the property.

Gemma is a lovely girl. In her previous home, she lived with kids and other dogs. It was reported that she greatly enjoyed the children in her home. Although Gemma has clearly suffered at the hands of her previous family, she has been friendly and interactive with the volunteers she has met. Our volunteers have been very impressed with her sweet and stable nature.

Gemma is looking for a home that will love and commit to her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

*Update* Tasha’s fosters are thrilled that this precious girl is heartworm free!  She is looking for a forever home where she can enjoy company most of the day with hugs and head-to-head snuggling.  She’s a low to moderate energy GSD and is gentle in all ways.  While she has not shown much interest in other dogs, her fosters continue to work on her socialization skills.   She enjoys walks that give her opportunities to sniff and stroll and is not affected at all by other passing dogs.   Training also continues as we all work together on basic commands.

Tasha is a survivor. After being horribly neglected, she was dumped at a vet with her two pups where the entire family was to be euthanized. Fortunately, another rescue learned of this little family's plight and was able to save them in time. Tasha's puppies were able to find families quickly. However, Tasha needed some additional care as her body had endured significant neglect. 

With the help of another rescue, Tasha was nursed back to health. She received the medical care and kindness that this beautiful girl so clearly deserved. Although Tasha has experienced cruelty at the hands of people, she remains loving and attentive. She enjoys the comforts of a soft bed and head rubs. Although we are still learning about this lovely girl, she amazes us with her sweet temperament. If Tasha sounds like the right match for your household, please ask to meet her today. 

DANA & DAVE WERE LISTED AND ADOPTED AS A BONDED PAIR.  THIS RECORD IS PUBLISHED BUT EXCLUDED FORM SEARCH AND IS KEPT ONLY TO RECORD THEIR ORIGINAL SEPARATE POSTINGS.

Dave and his buddy, Dana, were found running loose in a rural area. The dogs were brought to a shelter where they waited to be claimed. Unfortunately, no one came for them and as time passed it seemed no one wanted this special pair. Dave and Dana are a bonded pair. They rely on one another for comfort and safety. They are looking for a home that has room for two. 

Dave is a friendly guy. He arrived at the shelter emaciated but has been putting back on the much needed pounds with regular feedings. Social and curious, Dave enjoys the company of his people. Although found as a stray, Dave appears to have lived in a household prior to his arrival at MAGSR. He is intelligent and attentive to his handler. Dave is looking for a family that will care for him and his pal Dana for a lifetime. If you are ready to bring this lovely pair into your household, ask to meet them today. 

Precious little Joshua is one of Sheena's puppies. Just like his amazing mom, Joshua is a survivor. He and his seven siblings - Jacob, Joey, Jaycee, Jaxx, Jason, James, and Jazzmine - were removed from their home just in the nick of time. With several good samaritans along the way, this family made their way to the MAGSR family. 

Joshua is a sweetheart and is fortunate to have the kindness of his mother in him. This playful guy brings smiles to everyone around him. Although Joshua is an incredible boy, please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy antics and can be mischievous – they will whine, have accidents, get into things, and chew on inappropriate things. With time, patience, guidance, and training, Joshua will develop into the good canine citizen he is destined to become. If Joshua sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this handsome boy today. 

Playful Marley was a stray who was brought into a local shelter. When no one came to claim this handsome guy, MAGSR decided to step in to help him find his forever home.

Although we do not know a lot about Marley's household manners, we do know that he is a playful and active guy. Friendly with people and dogs, Marley wins over everyone around him. In many ways Marley still has many puppy-like behaviors. Although Marley is good with kids, his playfulness and exuberance tends to cause him to knock them over. As a result, he will be best suited for a household without young children. Marley will excel with leadership and training. Training will not only help him develop into a good canine citizen but it will also help him bond with his new family. If Marley sounds like a good match for your household, please ask to meet him today.
