Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Handsome Murphy was found hanging out at a high school with his buddy Millie. Both dogs were brought to a shelter where they waited for a family to claim them. When no one came forward, the shelter staff started pleading for rescue support as they were at capacity. Who could say no to such sweet dogs?

Murphy is a playful and energetic guy. He is friendly and good with both people and other dogs. However, he can be vocal with new dogs when first meeting them. As a young guy, Murphy has energy to burn and will do best in a home that can exercise his mind and his body on a daily basis. Arriving as a stray, we do not know what Murphy knows about living in a household. However, he seems to be a quick learner who wants to please his handler. As is true of all dogs, Murphy will thrive when provided with guidance, leadership, and consistency. Training will help him adjust to his new family as well as develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Murphy is looking for a forever family that will love and care for him for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Arrow's family had him since he was a puppy. He grew up with regular socialization with people and children. Although his family loved him greatly, they recognized that they could no longer provide him with the time, care, and exercise that he deserved. As a result, they made the difficult decision to surrender him to MAGSR. We promised Arrow's family that we would find him a safe and loving forever home.

Arrow is a big, beautiful boy. At close to 100lbs, Arrow is a large guy with a good amount of energy. Born into a litter where several of his siblings moved into working positions, Arrow is driven and intelligent. A typical ball dog, Arrow is more than happy to make sure that your throwing arm is in good shape. It is essential that his forever family make sure that they exercise Arrow's body and mind daily. This routine will help him effectively burn his energy. Although Arrow already knows several commands, training will be essential with his forever family. Not only will training help Arrow bond to his new family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen. Arrow is looking for a family that will welcome him into their home with a solid routine and structure. If this interactive boy sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today.

Rush was picked up as a stray in the south and brought to a shelter. Shelter staff immediately fell in love with this goofy, playful guy. However, due to overcrowding and lack of resources, they knew that Rush would have his best chance at finding the perfect forever home if he was moved into a rescue. When asked if we could help Rush find an amazing forever home, MAGSR stepped forward. 

Wiggly and playful Rush is an absolute joy. Clearly well socialized with people, Rush is a charmer who loves to be with his people. Although Rush is clearly a sweet pup, he does still need to learn about personal space and boundaries. This is typical of any young GSD. In many ways Rush is still very much a puppy. He will fill his family's lives with goofy puppy behaviors and antics. As is true of all young dogs, Rush will thrive in an environment with structure, routine, and leadership. It will be essential that his family continue to socialize him in controlled settings. It is also critical that Rush's forever family exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. Training will help Rush as he moves forward. It will not only help him develop a strong and healthy bond with his family but it will also help him develop into a stable and confident adult. Rush is looking for an active family that will both enjoy his charming personality as well as provide him with a safe and loving forever home. Could that be with you?

Sweet Jazz was surrendered to a local shelter in very poor shape. Covered in demodex mange with a severe secondary skin infection that had festered to the point of open, bleeding sores and raw patches throughout his body, Jazz was clearly in significant pain from nose to tail for some time. Although shelter staff did everything they could to bring Jazz relief, they recognized that this guy needed to be moved into a rescue where he could begin working with a private vet to address his medical needs. When our volunteers learned about Jazz's situation, we began working putting things in place to welcome Jazz to MAGSR. 

Although Jazz's condition has been left untreated for sometime and has clearly caused him significant pain, he remains an absolute sweetheart. Jazz enjoys the company of people of all ages. He is friendly and interactive. Not only does Jazz enjoy the company of his people, he also does well with furry friends of various sizes. He really is an impressive guy. At this time, Jazz is resting and recovering under the watchful eye of his foster family. With antibiotics, pain medication, and regular baths, he is beginning to find relief and can relax in the comfort and safety of a home. Jazz's medical needs are expensive; however, we know that this handsome guy is beyond worth the cost. Please consider donating to Jazz's care. Your donation will not only help us continue to move Jazz forward but it will also help us continue to support dogs with medical needs. As he continues to heal, Jazz is hoping to find a loving forever home that will commit to him for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Julio is a sweet and handsome guy. He and his brother Tazz found themselves dumped in a Southern shelter for eating one of the free range chickens on their farm. It’s really no wonder these young boys turned to hunting for their own food as they came in skin and bones and desperate for a good meal.  The positive for these boys is that with consistent food at the shelter they have already started to gain some much needed weight.

Although Julio and Tazz are littermates, they are not bonded and we have found they do better apart. We have found that Julio is the more dominant of the two brothers but both boys are sweet natured and extremely friendly. Both were excellent travels on their several day journey to MAGSR and were reported to be easy to load in and out of their crate and friendly to all they met on the road trip.

Julio is a friendly, playful, and intelligent guy. Unsurprisingly, he does like to see what he can get away with when being handled. He has your typical GSD shenanigans going on. As a young dog, Julio will thrive with structure, clear routines, and leadership. He is beginning to learn basic manners and how to walk on leash without pulling. However, Julio, like all dogs, will need training. Training will not only help him bond to his forever family but it will also help him develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to become. Julio is looking for a family that enjoys an interactive dog, playtime, and lots, we mean lots, of belly rubs. If this boy sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet Julio today.
