Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Regal Rory was originally welcomed to the MAGSR family as a puppy. She was one of the Baseball Puppies. Having lived with an amazing foster family, Rory had developed a good foundation of social skills and was adopted into a loving household. Although her family had every intention of loving Rory for a lifetime, when a family dynamic shifted, the decision was made that it was in Rory's best interest to return her to the MAGSR family. Surrendering a cherished member of the family is never a decision that is made lightly. Rory's family adored her; however, they knew that she would be more successful if placed in a different home. We know this was not easy for Rory's family, but we promised to find her an incredible match so that she can move forward and meet with success. 

In many ways still a puppy, Rory is young, energetic, and curious about the world around her. However, having left the home she expected to remain in for the rest of her life, she is a little unsure right now. Recognizing that Rory will need some time to decompress and adjust to new people and environments, our team is working with her to help her meet with success. Rory's new family will need to ensure that she is given time, patience, structure, and routine in her new household. This will help lovely Rory thrive. Once comfortable, Rory is a playful and loving girl. She enjoys toys and loves to learn new tricks. When playtime is finished, Rory is an expert cuddler. She is a great balance of joy and affection. Having lived in a loving home, Rory understands many of the ins and outs of living in a household. She is both housebroken and crate trained. However, as is true of all new dogs, she will need time to learn the specific expectations of her new family. Training will be beyond helpful for Rory. Not only will training help Rory build a strong bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Rory is looking for a patient household that enjoys daily activities with a good cuddle session thrown in from time to time throughout the day. If this little love is the right match for your family, ask to meet Rory today!

Mozerella is a stunning all-white German Shepherd with both the looks and the personality to match. This impressive boy didn’t come from hardship—he came from love. Purchased as a puppy by a devoted family member, it’s immediately clear that Mozerella was deeply adored. His family put in the time and care to ensure he grew up social, healthy, and well-prepared for life in a home. Although the plan was to spend their lives together, an unavoidable housing situation made it impossible for Mozerella to stay. Rehoming a beloved dog is never an easy decision, but it was made with his best interest at heart. Trusting that MAGSR would find him the incredible forever family he deserves, they made the selfless choice to surrender him to rescue.

Mozerella is everything you’d hope for in a young German Shepherd—intelligent, playful, and affectionate. With a few big changes behind him, he’s currently learning to adjust to his new surroundings. Very nose-oriented, he’s been busy exploring the world through scent, taking in everything from the fresh air outside to cozy beds and treats indoors. Still very much a young dog at heart, Mozerella thrives with structure, routine, and clear expectations. Continued socialization will be important for him as he grows—opportunities to safely meet new people and other animals will help him build confidence and strengthen his already solid foundation. Training will also play a key role, not only to reinforce good manners but to help him form a strong bond with his forever family and become the best companion he can be.

Having lived in a loving home, Mozerella already understands many household routines. He is housebroken and crate trained, and he has experience living with both dogs and a cat. His play style can be a bit rough at times, but he responds well to correction from other dogs. With the cat, he enjoyed a playful chase now and then but showed that he could respect boundaries when told playtime was over. Mozerella is a big fan of toys, daily activity, and—of course—treats. He approaches life with enthusiasm and joy, and he’s ready to share that energy with a family of his own. As with any new dog, he’ll need time to settle in and learn the specific expectations of his new home, but with patience and consistency, he is sure to thrive.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and absolutely striking companion, Mozerella may be your perfect match. Ask to meet this incredible boy today!

Sweet Fritz is the man that checks all of the boxes — the dog your friends say would never be found in a rescue or shelter.

       Tall, dark and handsome?

       Well behaved?

       Distinguished and chill? 

So how did he end up with MAGSR? The heartbreaking story of outliving his owners. Fritz had a comfortable and loving life with another dog and his favorite person until one day his person was just...gone. His housemate was rehomed and kind hands made sure that Fritz made his way to a safe middle ground with MAGSR. Poor Fritz has experienced unimaginable change and loss in his senior years but he still greets every day with joy and love. We'd say he wakes up with a tail wag every day, but he seems to be missing the essential ingredient for such activity! Don't worry, he doesn't miss it and he's such a giant hunk of a dog we don't think you will, either. 

Fritz is currently living in a foster home with a small dog and a cat. He has been friendly with everyone he has met, a true gentle giant. Fritz wants to be near his people first and foremost- a velcro dog who just wants to experience his golden years in the company of those who love him. He still has plenty of zest for life, enjoying nice walks, cozy beds and sweet snuggles-- enjoying every moment with the people who love him! Senior dogs are special treasures that fill their homes with a gentle kind of companionship and love. Fritz is simply wishing for a family to come along who will treasure him during his golden years and offer him the stability, kindness and love that he deserves. 

Stunning Simba is the father of the Fall puppies - Autumn, Cider, Ember, Maple, Pumpkin, and Sweet Potato (Tator). These babies were an accidental litter that was raised with their parents. Although his human family loved him, it can be difficult to properly train, care for, and provide adequate stimulation for a large number of dogs. Recognizing that this family would be most successful if placed within a breed specific rescue, their family contacted MAGSR. With a no family left behind policy, we did not think twice when asked to take dad along with the Fall puppies. MAGSR has promised to find every member of this family a safe and loving forever home that will cherish them for a lifetime. 

Simba moved into the rescue a few weeks ago. As he was not given the opportunity to socialize outside of his family and had been exposed to a child who was not treating him appropriately, we placed him with an experienced foster family. Not only is this family able to provide Simba with opportunities to socialize in controlled settings and with new people and animals, but they are also able to provide Simba with training. Training, as is true with all dogs, is key to Simba's success. One of our training partners, Mason Dixon K9, has already begun Simba's program. This is helping him develop the confidence and stability needed to move forward. As he continues to move forward with a family of his very own, MDK9 has committed to providing Simba with a lifetime of support. Simba is lucky to have so many people in his corner. 

Simba is a very intelligent and active guy. He's also a sweetheart who loves a good cuddle. He is looking for a forever family that will provide him with an appropriate balance of exercise, playtime, and snuggles. It is critical that Simba's family provide him with daily opportunities to exercise both his body and his mind. This will help him maintain a stable presence in his forever home. In addition, Simba's family will need to infuse structure, routine, and leadership into their daily interactions. This set-up is essential for the success of all GSDs. Simba is waiting patiently to find the right match, could that be with you?

Mavis is a joyful, energetic 6-month-old pup with a heart as big as her personality. Always ready to play, explore, and make new friends, she truly is the life of the party. From the moment shelter staff met her after she was picked up as a stray in the South, they knew Mavis was something special—a little spark of endless joy in an overcrowded shelter full of dogs needing help. Fearing she might be overlooked due to overcrowding, a plea was sent out for her. While many rescues were already overwhelmed, our team stepped forward with a plan, and Mavis walked out the shelter doors and into the MAGSR family.

With a solid social foundation already in place, Mavis has learned that many people are just as excited to say hello as she is. Continued socialization will be key to her success, as she benefits from positive experiences with new people, animals, and environments. She is a smart, curious girl who learns quickly and loves people of all sizes. Mavis adores kids and has a playful spirit, though—like most young pups—she is still learning her manners. With training, structure, and clear boundaries, she could be a wonderful companion for a child to grow up with and a true best friend.

Mavis does best with a calm, confident leader and often looks to her handler for reassurance, especially when encountering new sounds or situations. As a former stray, she can be a bit skittish at times, but with confidence-building and continued positive exposure, she continues to thrive and grow.

Thanks to time in a fantastic temporary foster home, we’ve learned that Mavis already has great house skills. She is housebroken, crate trained, and polite on leash. She takes care of business right away when outside and will sit patiently while waiting for her leash to be removed—though, as a young pup, she can get a little excited if it takes too long! Occasionally, the world is just a bit too exciting and she may dash suddenly on leash, but overall she is learning quickly. Mavis enjoys relaxing with her people and has a love-hate relationship with the TV—she likes to watch, but may react when animals or certain sounds appear. She’s incredibly affectionate and believes being a lap dog is a very serious job. Having been overcorrected in the past, Mavis may briefly retreat when told “no,” but she quickly bounces back, eager to give kisses and reassure herself that all is well.

Adopting Mavis means welcoming endless fun, affection, and loyalty into your home. She is ready to give her whole heart to a family who will help her continue to grow and feel safe—forever. Please consider giving Mavis the loving home she deserves, so she never has to worry about her safety again.
