Description

Marvelous Maverick was surrendered by his family to a shelter in the south. They stated that although they loved Maverick dearly, due to a significant change in circumstances, they could no longer care for him. Shelter staff recognized that Maverick was special right away, his charismatic personality easily won everyone over. However, due to what looked like a gunshot wound to his foot, they felt that Maverick would be most successful if placed with a rescue. When MAGSR learned about Maverick's story, we stepped forward and welcomed him to the family.

Since joining MAGSR, we have addressed Maverick's medical needs. He has made great strides and is now acting and moving the way a GSD should. Maverick is a happy and gregarious guy. His previous family provided him with a solid foundation as he has clearly been well socialized with dogs and people. As a young guy, it is important that Maverick continues to be socialized in appropriate settings so that he maintains his current skills. It is also essential that Maverick exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. Training will help with this piece. Not only will training help Maverick move forward and develop a healthy bond with his new family, but it will also help him develop into a stable and confident adult. Maverick is looking for a forever family that will provide him with the structure, leadership, and routine that all GSDs crave. If he sounds like the right pup for your family, please ask to meet Maverick today.

Description

Little Miss Skeeter was picked up as a stray and brought to a shelter a few months ago. Due to a wound of unknown origin Skeeter was placed in quarantine for a few months at the shelter. Although this can be very difficult for many dogs, Skeeter handled her quarantine very well and remained friendly and interactive. She was a staff favorite. Once released from quarantine, shelter staff decided that Skeeter would be most successful if she was placed with a rescue. This would give her the best chance at finding the perfect forever family. When asked if we could help Skeeter move forward, MAGSR immediately welcomed her to the rescue.

Skeeter is a friendly, interactive and energetic girl. As a young dog, she still has all the puppy antics that would be expected at her age. She is looking for an active household that will help her exercise both her mind and body on a daily basis. Skeeter is a social girl. However, it is critical that her family continue to provide her with socialization. This will help her develop into a stable adult. As Skeeter had been in quarantine for a few months, she did not have the opportunity to develop her leash skills. However, now that she has joined the rescue, our volunteers have begun to develop these skills. As is true of all dogs, Skeeter will benefit greatly from training. Training will not only help Skeeter build a healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. Skeeter is looking for a forever family that will love her for a lifetime. Could that family be you?

Description

Lovely Luna was picked up as a stray and brought to a local shelter. Although shelter staff hoped that a family would come to claim Luna, no one came for her. Recognizing that a GSD is often most successful if placed through a breed specific rescue, shelter staff worked with MAGSR to help move Luna forward. We are so excited to have welcomed Luna to the MAGSR family.

Luna is a sweet, young, and intelligent GSD. Typical of most GSDs, she can be somewhat aloof at first. However, given a little time and some tasty treats, Luna begins to show her playful side. She is affectionate and interactive once comfortable. Gentle with her play, Luna does seem to understand the concept of toys and is happy to play on her own. Although we do not know anything about her past, we do know that someone worked with Luna. She knows a few commands, such as sit and paw, and will gently take treats from the handler. However, she will need to continue to build leash manners as it appears that she has had limited opportunities on leash. As a young dog, Luna is looking for a household that will provide her with the structure, routine and leadership that will help her meet with success. Training is essential for Luna. Not only will this help her develop a healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her build the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Luna is a sweetheart who is looking for an active and loving forever family. Could that be with you?

 

Updates:
Luna is doing great in her foster home. She crates well and is quiet in the crate. There have been no accidents, so she is housebroken. She did very well on the leash when we went walking. She just needs some consistent walking and she'll be a pro in no time.  She has a lot of energy and is very loving and playful. When my husband came home from work and walked into the back yard, Luna went running to him like she's known him all her life and wanted to get lots of head and belly rubs from him.    , Luna has recovered nicely from her spay and is now off of restricted activity. She is a bundle of puppy energy and loves to play ball. She has met most of my family as they come over, all adults, and wins over the hearts of everyone she meets. Luna has met her foster brother and sister and is getting along well with them when they play outside. Inside, they like to rough house so their time together is limited. My end tables can only take so much German Shepherd collisions before whatever is on them topples to the floor.     Having a 4yr old, an almost 2yr old and a 10 month old  makes for an active house. Literally put them away for "naps" yesterday so "mommy" could have some alone time in the pool. Anyway, Luna is a complete joy and is super smart, curious and likes to chase rabbits and squirrels. She barks at the vacuum and handled the neighborhood fireworks with ease. Her recall is pretty good. We are still working on leash manners and will spend more time doing it now that she is free from restrictive activity. Luna is going to be a fabulous dog and her future family will be very lucky to have her.

Description

Handsome Neville is one of 11 puppies and a mama that were part of a cruelty case within Maryland. Upon arrival, this sweet litter of pups quickly won over all the staff within the shelter; however,  they knew this family needed to move into the safety of a rescue immediately so they could move forward and find loving forever families.  When asked if we could help this litter of 11 babies and mama, team MAGSR stepped up and welcomed the Hogwarts family to the rescue. 

Neville is a friendly, interactive, and wiggly guy. He is quickly learning the joys of interactions with his foster family as well as other animals. Like his brothers and sisters, he is working on socialization and house manners. Fortunately, our Hogwarts puppies have a good start already as they are sweet and friendly pups who happily soak up all of the love and attention they can find. Living with amazing foster families, each of the Hogwarts puppies is starting to learn all of the important things they will need to know in order to develop into stable and confident adult dogs. Although puppies bring endless joy to everyone they encounter, 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, structure, and routine, they will develop into incredible dogs. If these babies sound like the right match for your household, ask to meet one of them today!
