Diesel
ADOPTED 09/20/2020!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Diesel is a large male about 1.5 years old but acts like an 8 month old puppy. He requires a strong owner who will hold him accountable, and training is a must. Diesel will require daily exercise to keep his energy in check. He still has some bad habits that will need to be worked on. Diesel is mouthy when excited, however, he responds well to correction. He also counter surfs if not supervised. If he isn’t properly supervised in the yard he will dig. Once he has been exercised he is much calmer and listens very well.
Diesel rides well in a car and loves to go on walks. He has good leash manners and has been non reactive to dogs or people while on walks. Diesel has lived in a home with 7 other dogs while in foster without any issues. He crates well and is house broken. While in his foster home he has made great improvement regarding the negative behaviors listed here but will require continued work. He is a very sweet and lovable boy who needs the right family, to get the excess energy out and teach him what he needs to know.
Aster
ADOPTED 09/19/2020!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Happy-go-lucky Aster found herself in a shelter with no one coming to claim her. Although she can be shy with new people, Aster is a people pleaser and loves to socialize once comfortable. Typical of a young shepherd, Aster has some puppy energy and is an overall joy to be around. At this time, Aster is in a loving foster home learning about housebreaking, crate training, and general household manners. If Aster sounds like a good match for your household, please ask to meet her today.
Apollo
ADOPTED 09/18/2020!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Apollo is a big, handsome fellow, and he is settling in nicely in his foster home. It has been a couple weeks so this very striking and impressive dog is starting to get past the stress of being separated from his previous family, and is showing himself to be even-tempered, affectionate, and trained GSD. With consistent and appropriate guidance from his person, he walks very well on leash, is well-mannered passing strangers and other dogs out walking in the neighborhood, and is generally very attentive and responsive. However, Apollo is a powerful, headstrong dog that will require structure and strong leadership, and he does show some anxiety when left completely alone so he will need to be properly managed by an experienced adopter to build his confidence and avoid potential separation anxiety. He is comfortable with the other dogs in his foster home, and crates very well. Apollo is alert and can be protective of his space and pack, and will alarm bark at unfamiliar people. He listens well, and is very focused on a leader that he trusts, and will need to complete training with his new people to help build and ensure those bonds of trust. He will thrive in a home that can provide him with the love and consistent leadership that he needs, and he deserves nothing less. If you think Apollo might be the dog for you, please ask to learn more about him.
Chole
ADOPTED 09/17/2020!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Chole (yes, Chole, not Chloe) found her way to MAGSR when her family fell on hard times and could no longer take care of her. This heart-wrenching decision was made in the best interest of Chole who was clearly a treasured member of the family. Chole is a lovely lady who has lived with kids, dogs, and cats. In fact she has helped many rescue cats find their way home over the years. With a stable and playful personality, Chole loves to play ball and enjoys the company of others. She easily wins over the hearts of minds of everyone who meets her. Chole would be a wonderful addition to any household. Please ask to meet her today.
Khaleesi
ADOPTED 09/13/2020!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Khaleesi came to us as her prior person is being stationed out of the country and could not take her along. Wanting only the best for Khaleesi she was surrendered to us to find her a loving family. Khaleesi has lived with another male GSD and got along fine. She is reported to be very friendly with people. As she is new to us we are still learning more about her, please check back for updates.
Updates:Khaleesi is doing very well in her foster home. While examined by one of MAGSR's wonderful veterinarians, they reported that she was painful in her end, and after preliminary radiographs have diagnosed her with hip dysplasia, so Khaleesi is currently on a medical hold until she can be evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon. Check back on Khaleesi's profile for more information on her status as information comes available.
As you can see from the photos of her lounging around, Khaleesi is settling into her foster home nicely and proving to be a very sweet girl. She does not yet understand social distancing and insists on greeting every visitor with a pair of big brown eyes and a kiss. Khaleesi does occasionally try to tell her smaller (30lb) cousin she's the boss, however, so she might be best in a home with larger dogs (with whom she gets along with quite well). She likes giving toys and occasional chew, but has been very good with knowing what's a toy and what's a shoe and while you can tell she's excited by dinner time she's always a perfect lady by having a seat before she's served.
Leesi Lou has been cleared by an orthopedic specialist and her hip issues pose her no current problems and surgery is not needed. She has been a fantastic pup through her travels and vetting: chilling out in the car, behaving like a perfect lady with the techs and seeming unphased by the whole thing. Leesi has also settled into her foster home even more and has gotten into a good routine with her cousins and surroundings.
Olivia
ADOPTED 09/13/2020!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Lovely Olivia found herself left in a shelter drop box this summer. Although a little confused as to what all was happening to her, Olivia joined the MAGSR family and has never looked back. Throughout the rescue Olivia is known to be a charmer. Her bouncy, alert, and attentive personality are an immediate draw to everyone around her.
Olivia's current age estimate is very rough.
Olivia has thrived throughout her time in the rescue and she will be a lovely addition to her forever home. Although Olivia is ready to settle down in her forever home, she will require a little extra support as she has tested positive for heartworms. This diagnosis would have been easily avoided had Olivia been kept on monthly heartworm preventatives. Fortunately, Olivia has begun the first steps in the treatment process and will continue to receive the care she needs to move forward. MAGSR is committed to paying for Olivia's treatment; donations toward her care are greatly appreciated. If Olivia sounds like the right dog for your household, please ask to meet her today!
Beau
ADOPTED 09/12/2020!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Beau was surrendered to a shelter when his owner became too ill to care for him. It is quite evident that his owner cared for him and wanted the best for Beau. This big, beautiful guy is good with other stable dogs. Sweet and well mannered, this guy is looking for a household that will continue to provide him with the love, safety, and guidance that all dogs deserve. As Beau is new to the MAGSR family, we will let you know more about him as we get to know him.
Zoey
ADOPTED 09/11/2020!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Zoey is 3 years old and her family made the hard decision to surrender her to us. She is all around a perfect princess. She is brilliant, loyal, loving, and loves her people. She is fully housebroken, potty trained, and has been crated as a younger dog.Once she settles in her new home, she will likely be able to earn freedom in the house quickly.
Zoey will never leave your side. We have a silly disorder we diagnosed her with (FOMO, fear of missing out). She loves to be where the people are.
She is excellent with kids (we are unsure at this time about toddlers and younger) and in her previous home slept with one of every night. Playing ball is her favorite past time. Well behaved when it comes to food, Zoey does not beg as she has never exposed her to table scraps or fed her from her family's plates; however, she does love carrots.
When meeting new people, it may take Zoey a few minutes to warm up, however, she settles in nicely once she understands there isn't a threat. Although Zoey has a great bark, she is really just a big baby. If Zoey sounds like a good match for your household, please ask about her today.
Boomer
ADOPTED 09/07/2020!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Boomer cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little boy, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses. Boomer has a lot to learn about being a good canine citizen and will require training. Please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family - puppies are a ten to twelve year commitment. Puppies are full of energy and can be mischievous – they will whine, have accidents, get into things, and chew on inappropriate things. With time, patience, guidance and training, Boomer will become even more of an amazing boy than he already is. If interested and he sounds like a good match for your family, please submit an adoption application!
Ryder
ADOPTED 09/05/2020!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Ryder found himself in a shelter in North Carolina and was running out of rescue options. As luck would have it there happened to be two MAGSR volunteers in that very same shelter picking up four sweet puppies to bring into the MAGSR family. They had an opportunity to meet this regal boy and knew they wanted to save him. Emails were sent and arrangements were made and a week later this gentle giant made his way to Maryland.
Unfortunately, this sweet boy lived a life of neglect as he came in matted and with sores on his ears. MAGSR had him vetted as soon as we were able to and after completion of blood work we received the bad news that he was suffering from Heartworm disease, Ehrlichia, and Lymes. Ryder was started on medications and a Heartworm protocol that will get him healthy and feeling good again. With all that said, even though this poor boy felt miserable he is nothing but sweet Southern charm. In fact, he was so full of charm within minutes he won over the hearts of those volunteers that drove eight hours roundtrip to pick up this sweet boy and transport him to MAGSR. If this gentle giant sounds like he may fit your family please fill out an application now!
Piper
ADOPTED 09/01/2020!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Piper is a very lovable young lady after she gets to know you. In typical German Shepherd fashion, she is hesitant with new people especially if they are scared or unsure of themselves. She responds well to confident people, and then is eager to please. Piper needs to be socialized with strangers under the supervision of a confident handler. She is a young lady with lots of energy so exercise and training will be a must to keep her on her best behavior.
Piper rides well in a car and loves to go on walks. She has good leash manners for her age and lack of training. Piper has lived in a home with 7 other dogs while in foster without any issues. She crates well and seems to be house broken (no accidents in 2 weeks!). While in her foster home she has been very well behaved. If you are willing to put in the time to train and socialize Piper, this girl will make a wonderful family member. Can you see her in your family?
Brielle
ADOPTED 08/29/2020!
Good With Kids: Yes

Prax
ADOPTED 08/29/2020!
Good With Kids: Yes, older kids
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Prax was surrendered to a shelter as he enjoyed running through the family's electric fence in order to explore the neighborhood. As a 90lb shepherd with a busy nose, the electric fence didn't seem to be much of a barrier for Prax particularly, if there was something interesting on the other side. Although losing his family must have been very confusing, Prax's goofy, fun-loving, and affectionate personality has remained intact. Prax is a social guy. Delighted by the opportunity to meet new people, Prax is all about big tail wags, wiggles, and kisses. Although he seems to enjoy the company of children, he would be best suited for a household with older children as his exuberance and size can be too much for little ones.
At this time Prax is housebroken and crate trained. He enjoys the option of taking breaks in his crate and settles nicely when asked to load up. Car rides are a breeze for this big guy as he quickly settles in for the ride. Although it is apparent that Prax spent very little time on leash prior to his arrival at MAGSR, he is quickly developing his leash skills and a few commands. This may have something to do with his love for long walks and regular runs with his foster family. It is apparent that Prax is an intelligent guy who likes clear direction and leadership from his handler. With these components in place, Prax will thrive in his forever home. If Prax sounds like a good match for your family, ask to meet him today.
Sugar
ADOPTED 08/27/2020!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Sugar was a stray to the shelter, so we have no history for her. We do know she is sugar and spice and everything nice. She has tested positive for Heartworms which is so easily avoidable with monthly heartworm preventatives. She will undergo Heartworm treatment which is paid for by MAGSR. Donations towards her treatment are kindly accepted. She is underweight, but with proper nutrition she will be gaining weight in no time. She also arrived at the shelter with a wound on her neck which resembles that of an embedded collar. Her neck is being cared for and on its way to healing. Sugar has met both male and female dogs, she did much better with the males, but was dominant over the females. It is best for Sugar to not be placed in a home with other female dogs for this reason. Watch for updates on this sweet girl.
Bea

Bobby
ADOPTED 08/20/2020!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
I have settled nicely into my foster home. At first I was a little shy and skittish and it took a lot of coaxing to understand that there is only love, treats and kisses in this house. I still creep out of my crate but at least I am coming out of my own free will. In my short time here I have learned to fetch....and I bring it back! I love to play with my big squeaky carrot that came to my foster house with me. I'm not really fond of my crate, but realize sometimes I need to go in it. I haven't had an accident in the house in over a week and a half so my foster mom thinks I'm housebroken. There are two resident dogs in the house, and I don't know how to play with them, but I have stopped growling when they come near me or my crate. There may just be a bit of an adjustment time with other pups, because I have already started getting the idea that the other dogs might not be so bad! I'm dying to play with the guinea pig so my foster mom thinks I may have a little too much fun with small animals, (and yes, cats are small animals). I'm a fantastic car rider and jump right in for whatever adventure awaits. When we're out I'm very gracious and love the attention I get. If I sound like a good fit for your family please let us know! I look forward to meeting someone who will love me forever!
Bubba
ADOPTED 08/14/2020!

Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Bubba was surrendered to a shelter as he was too big and had too much energy for his prior person. At only 11 months old he is a big boy, but he was never provided training or guidance, this would have helped him to learn, along with provide daily exercise to help burn his puppy energy. Bubba gets along fine with other dogs, but he stands back and watches first before engaging in play. He has no idea what to do with toys. He is big, strong and has lots to learn. Training along with structure is crucial with his new family As he is new to us we are just learning more about him, please watch for updates.
Riley
ADOPTED 08/12/2020!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Riley was surrendered as her family was moving. She lived her life on a farm with lots of room to run. We are told she really enjoys children and loved the grandchildren. We have yet to introduce her to or see her interact with children. Riley has a very plush coat which will take extra time brushing her so that matts do not form in her fur. She is a very sweet and friendly girl, settling in nicely at her foster families home. As she just arrived in our care we are still learning more about her, please check back for updates from her foster family
Foxtrot
ADOPTED 08/09/2020!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Foxtrot was surrendered to a shelter for being too active. Imagine a 1 year old GSD puppy, who has had no training being too active. Sadly, too many people think dogs will train themselves, and have no idea how much exercise and mental stimulation a GSD requires. Foxtrot’s mannerisms are very much still puppy-like. He is a sweet, loving boy looking for someone to provide him with training and structure so he can be the best he can be. As he is still new to us we are still learning more about him, please watch for updates.
Updates:Foxtrot is settling in nicely into his foster home. He is incredibly friendly towards people and the resident animals. He usually just sniffs at the resident cats, but then will give chase when they run. Foxtrot loves to play with the resident female GSD and would love another playful dog. Foxtrot needs some leash work on his basic obedience skills, which will come with Basic Obedience training and practice. Foxtrot is very smart and he's a problem solver, which can also get him into trouble if not managed properly. When in his crate, which he is not fond of and it takes him a little bit to settle down in, he likes to chew on everything he can get his teeth on, so no blankets, beds or accessories that he can pull apart and ingest should be left with him unsupervised. Foxtrot would love to have some humans of his own and hopefully, a playful dog as well. If Foxtrot sounds like he could be a fit for your family, ask to meet Foxtrot.
