Peace
ADOPTED 04/11/2025!
Good With Kids: Likely
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Momma Starlight and her adorable babies - Niner, Peace, Benisa and Seven - were surrendered to an overcrowded shelter when the babies were just 6 weeks old. Although shelter staff do everything they can to keep families safe, raising puppies in a shelter is stressful for the entire family and often results in illness. Although this family was clearly very sweet, no one stepped forward to help them. As shelter numbers everywhere are at astronomical rates, Momma Starlight and her babies were at significant risk of being euthanized as owner surrenders are typically the first to cross. Days passed without interest and the family was placed on the list to be euthanized. The rescue community was doing everything they could to help, but with rescues at critical levels finding placement options was very challenging. Fortunately, an incredible rescue close to the shelter was able to secure temp fosters for the family hoping to work with other rescues to move them forward. When asked if MAGSR could be the family's rescue destination, our team sent out a plea for help. We were lucky to have fosters ready and willing to help. The uncertainty of their survival had finally ended as they made their way to the MAGSR family.
Peace and her adorable siblings have been through a lot of changes in a short period of time. However, a resilient group, these babies have maintained some very typical puppy behaviors. They are active, intelligent, and very good with other animals. With a good understanding of toys, treats, and a soft place to relax, all four babies have been lucky to have settled in experienced foster families. Still developing their socialization skills, Peace and her siblings will need endless opportunities to socialize with people and other animals in safe and controlled settings. Socialization is critical to their success as this will help them develop into stable adult dogs. Although these babies are cute as can be, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience, and leadership we know that Peace and her siblings are destined for greatness. Peace is looking for a household that will provide her with a good balance of training, playtime, and cuddles. If this adorable little guy sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!
Valkyrie
ADOPTED 04/10/2025!
Good With Kids: Older Kids Only
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Vibrant Valkyrie was sitting at an overcrowded animal shelter waiting for someone to come and claim her. Although she waited, no one stepped forward for this lovely lady. As shelters are simply unable to keep up with the number of animals in need, unclaimed animals often struggle to make it out alive. Valkyrie's time was running short. Fortunately, another group stepped forward and welcomed Valkyrie into their care. She was very lucky to find someone that would help her move forward as well as help address her medical needs. Valkyrie was heartworm positive upon her arrival with the other rescue. However, they ensured she had everything she needed and walked her through treatment. Having completed treatment months ago, but without adoption interest, MAGSR was asked to welcome Valkyrie into our care so that she might meet with better success with a breed specific rescue. Valkyrie had been waiting for over a year for this chance. When we learned she needed placement, we knew she would be a great match for the MAGSR family.
Valkyrie is an active, intelligent, and social girl. Having been well socialized with people somewhere along her journey, Valkyrie connects with people quickly. She loves a good hug and lean in. A huge fan of the outdoors, Valkyrie is greatly enjoying the fall weather and is happy to be out and about with her person. Although we do not know anything about Valkyrie's past, we do know that she has a bright future. As is true of all shepherds, Valkyrie will thrive when provided with structure, routine, and leadership. She is looking for a household that will provide her with clear expectations and boundaries as well as patience as she adjusts to her forever family. Training will go a long way with Valkyrie. Not only will this help her build a strong, healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Valkyrie has been waiting for a family of her very own for far too long. If this lovely girl sounds like a match for your family, ask to meet her today!
Poseidon
ADOPTED 04/06/2025!
Good With Kids: Older Kids Only
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Precious Poseidon is one of the lucky dogs who has lived in an incredible household where he has been cherished. Although his family adored this big, handsome guy, when circumstances changed, his family began searching for rescue placement so that Poseidon could move forward safely with an amazing family that would love him. Surrendering a member of the family is never an easy decision. It is not a choice that any family comes to lightly; however, Poseidon's family knew that it was in his best interest to say goodbye. We promised that we would do everything we could to ensure that Poseidon found an incredible match.
Intelligent, social, and clearly a stunning guy, Poseidon (Psy) embodies many of your typical GSD traits. Curious about his environment while also very aware of his surroundings, Psy, like most shepherds, doesn't miss a beat. He is capable, engaging, and protective when he needs to be. An active guy, Psy greatly enjoys getting out and about on a daily basis. True of most shepherds, Psy does best when both his body and his mind are exercised on a daily basis. This helps him maintain stability. Having always lived in a pack, Psy is looking for a home that has another dog. He thrives in this environment and is not successful without canine companions. However, as is true of all new furry family members, Psy will need time to build solid and lasting relationships with his new pack members. Time, patience, training, and opportunities to meet with success will help him adjust to his forever family. Psy already knows many of the ins and outs of living in a household. He is housebroken and crate trained, but does prefer a stronger crate for safety. With routine, structure, and leadership, Psy thrives in the household. True of all new dogs, Psy will need to participate in training. Not only will training help Psy build a healthy and lasting bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. With a few commands already in place, this guy is ready to continue learning.
Poseidon is an amazing guy who is looking for an active family who will ensure he has plenty of toys, daily opportunities to exercise, and endless love. If Poseidon sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this handsome guy today!
Willow
ADOPTED 04/06/2025!
Good With Kids: Likely
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
The Vampire Litter - Giles, Oz, and Willow - found themselves alone and in need of help. Without a mommy in sight, they were lucky to find a good Samaritan who made sure these delightful little babies made their way to the safety of a rescue. Under the care of an experienced puppy foster, the babies began getting everything they needed to meet with success. With full bellies, vaccines started, and plenty of socialization, these babies were thriving. Although their foster family adored these babies, it was clear that they would be most successful if placed within a breed specific rescue. When our team was contacted about Vampire litter, we knew that we could help them move forward safely. So, we immediately welcomed the babies to the family.
All three puppies are beyond adorable. They are playful, interactive, and filled with endless joy. Although their foster families are continuing to provide these babies with socialization with people and other animals, it is critical that their forever families continue this process. This will help all three pups develop into stable adult dogs. Willow and her siblings are cute as can be; however, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, training, and socialization, Willow will develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. If your family is looking for a delightful little lady full of snuggles, look no further than Willow!
Updates:Wonderful Willow has been enjoying life living in a pack. She has adjusted to both the human and furry members of her household incredibly well and is adored by her foster family. A social and stable pup, Willow loves interacting with kids and adults in the neighborhood. She greets everyone with tail wags, playbows, and plenty of puppy smiles. This little lady sure does know how to bring joy to everyone around.
With routine and consistency, Willow is doing very well with housebreaking. She cues when she needs to go outside and takes care of her business quickly. Crate training has also gone very well. Willow keeps her crate dry throughout the night and even waits until her foster family is moving around in the morning before she cues to go outside. Such an impressive baby, Willow seems to pick up new expectations without difficulty. It helps that she loves treats, toys, and praise. An intelligent girl with a moderate level of energy, Willow is a nice combination of puppy energy and snuggles. She is always ready for the next adventure, but will need a good nap afterwards.
Willow is looking for a forever family that will maintain her confidence through continued socialization and training. This will help her develop the skills needed to develop into a good canine citizen. If your household is looking for a playful, intelligent, and adorable girl, look no further than Willow!
Bailey
ADOPTED 03/25/2025!
Good With Kids: Older Kids Only
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Beautiful Bailey was adored by her family. They knew she was a special girl and ensured that she had endless love, attention, and plenty of toys. However, when an unexpected event took place, they were unable to keep Bailey and provide her with the life they knew she deserved. Recognizing that we would provide Bailey with everything she needed to meet with success, her family made the heartbreaking decision to return her to the MAGSR. Knowing this was a very difficult decision, we promised we would find Bailey the perfect forever family.
Bailey is an active, intelligent, and playful girl. She loves her people fiercely and gives them every ounce of affection she has. With some very strong GSD traits, Bailey is loyal, protective, and on point. She tends to notice everything around her and keeps an eye on her people at all times. As a girl with a high prey drive, smaller creatures can be a little too enticing for Bailey. She finds joy in chasing small creatures, such as rabbits and squirrels, and will need to be monitored closely if they are out and about with her. Fond of the outdoors, Bailey is always up for a long walk, hike, or adventure. She takes cues well from the handler and knows many commands. Lucky to have lived in a loving household for a few years, Bailey has developed a solid understanding of and appreciation for toys; she is hoping her forever family enjoys them too! She loves to play ball and can't help but enjoy a good squeaky toy. With a few years of experience living in a home, Bailey has also developed an affinity for a soft bed. She loves cuddling up on her dog bed and doesn't mind having a dog bed or two in the house just to change up viewpoints throughout the day. Although Bailey is crate trained and housebroken, once settled, she prefers to be out and about. This seems to keep her more settled throughout the day. As is true of all shepherds Bailey will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. Providing clear boundaries and expectations will help Bailey meet with success. Bailey has already completed some basic training; however, she is always up for more! Continued training is essential to Bailey's success. Not only will it help her develop her canine citizenship skills, but it will also help her develop a strong and healthy bond with her forever family.
If your family is looking for an active girl who will fill your days with doggy smiles, squeaky toys, and plenty of exercise, Bailey is your girl.
Updates:I am a 5 yr old girl with a lot of spunk. I get real excited when it's time to go out. I like people, but I'm reactive to other dogs. I am good with my commands, I am crate trained, I like laying at my human's feet in the evenings. When my people leave, I get all upset, I seem to do better when left out of my crate. I have a good appetite and take treats gently, and I'm good on walks. I feel like Super Girl, can jump a 5 ft door at the kennel. I like to play with stuffed toys, I'm not a big fan of balls. I like to play in the pool at the kennel. If I sound like the dog for you, I'm looking for my forever home.
Bailey, like most dogs, has her pros and cons with her personality. The good things about her - she's very friendly with people, and she bonds very closely to her people. She is very well trained. In the evenings I bring her in from her final walk and make her sit, then I say "okay" and she runs for her doggy bed next to the couch where I sit to watch TV, and she lays there until it's time to go to bed. She is crate trained and does good in the crate except when you leave. She loves to go for car rides, and loves her stuffed toys, especially ones with squeakers. She will play with balls that squeak sometimes, but she likes stuffed toys better. She has some toys, a doggy bed, and a secure crate that go with her. Bailey is not a fan of thunderstorms, fireworks and small dogs. It seems if you have her next to you during storms, she does much better, and is not as skittish. She prefers to be the only dog in the house. You have to be on guard with her around open doors. She does have separation anxiety and would rather spend time with her humans. If Bailey sounds like the pup for you, she’s ready to go!
