Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Handsome little Ben was surrendered to a local shelter. This little ball of love immediately won over everyone on staff. Although they fell head over heels for this boy, it was recognized that Ben would be most successful finding a safe and loving forever family if he was placed in a rescue. When asked if we could help Ben move forward, team MAGSR stepped up. Ben is an adorable pup. It is very evident that he has had a good foundation and is well socialized. Friendly with everyone, Ben happily soaks up all of the love and attention he can find. Living with an amazing foster family, Ben is starting to learn all of the important things he will need to know in order to develop into a stable and confident adult dog. Although Ben brings endless joy to everyone he encounters, 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, Ben will develop into an incredible dog. If this little love sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today!

Lovely little Paisley was picked up as a stray and brought to a local shelter. Although she waited patiently for her family to claim her, no one arrived to bring her home. Recognizing that this little lady would be best placed if in a rescue, shelter staff reached out for help. When we heard that Paisley was looking for rescue, our team immediately began putting things in place to welcome her to MAGSR. 

Happy-go-lucky Paisley is a social and interactive girl. She has clearly been well socialized with people and thinks that everyone should take a chance to say hi. Although she loves her people, as is true of all puppies, Paisley will need to learn manners. Not only is Paisley social with people, she is also social with other animals. She is the life of the party and happy to bring joy wherever she goes. Typical of any GSD, Paisley will definitely need play time but she will also need structure, routine, and leadership. This will help her develop the mindset needed to become a confident and stable adult GSD. Although Miss Paisley is cute as a button, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, bark, chew on inappropriate things, and have accidents. With time, patience, routine, and regular exercise, Paisley will become the good canine citizen we know she is destined to be. If this little love bug sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

Handsome Beau is an incredibly sweet guy. His family had some changes over the last year that resulted in a move from the family's farm to a suburban townhouse life. Unfortunately, Beau was not adjusting well to these changes. Recognizing that Beau would be happier in a different environment with a family with the ability to spend more time with him, his family made the difficult decision to surrender him to MAGSR. We promised that we would find Beau an amazing forever home where he would have every opportunity to enjoy himself.

Beau is one amazing guy. He has clearly been well socialized with people. He is beyond friendly with everyone he meets, but we are still learning how he interacts with other dogs. Beau loves ear rubs, frisbee, car rides and has been the perfect patient at the vet. It is very apparent that he has a special personality. 

As is true of all shepherds, Beau needs a forever family that can provide him with the time, structure, and training needed to meet with success. Training is key as it will not only help Beau create a healthy bond with his new family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. MAGSR has already begun working with Beau to build his basic training. However, it will be critical that his forever family continue this process. 

Additionally, Beau has some medical needs that we are in the process of addressing. He arrived with a large lump on his back leg that had broken open and was severely infected. He was taken to the vet and the lump was biopsied. At this time the results are pending. The lump will likely need surgical removal. However, while we await results, we are keeping Beau safe and comfortable with a loving foster family. It seems that Beau realizes that we are trying to help and has been patient with all procedures.

Handsome Bosco was picked up as a stray with his mate, Brandi. These two incredible dogs had clearly been through some difficult times. Recognizing that these incredible dogs would be most successful if they decompressed in foster homes, another rescue arranged for them to stay in foster families while they waited out their stray hold. Both dogs were placed in loving foster homes with other dogs. When their stray hold had ended and they had had some time to decompress, we were asked if we could welcome both dogs into the rescue. Really, who could say no to such a lovely pair of dogs?

Bosco is a big, intelligent, and driven guy. He reads the handler very well but will, like many driven shepherds, will push the line if he has an opportunity. For this reason, Bosco will be best suited for an experienced GSD household. A huge fan of balls, Bosco is hoping that his forever family has a good throwing arm and enjoys play time just as much as he does. As is true of all shepherds, Bosco will thrive in a household that provides him with structure, guidance, and routine. Although Bosco has already begun training, it is essential that his new family continue this process. Training will not only help Bosco bond with his forever family but it will also help him become a good canine citizen. If Bosco sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet this big guy today!

Lovely Persephone was picked up as a stray and brought to a local shelter. Upon arrival shelter staff knew something was very wrong. Persephone was vomiting and had bloody stool. Hoping they were wrong, shelter staff ran a parvo test. Unfortunately, it came back positive. Recognizing that this virus kills countless dogs every year, shelter staff immediately began putting parvo protocols into place hoping that Persephone was a fighter. Although they took excellent care of Persephone, shelter staff knew that Persephone would be most successful if she was placed in a rescue where she could continue to get the care she needed and recuperate in a loving foster home. When we heard about Persephone's situation, our team immediately began putting plans into place to help this little one join the MAGSR family. 

As a young girl, Persephone should be busy playing, napping, and learning about the world around her. Unfortunately, right now, this is not the case. Instead Persephone is under the care of one of our amazing veterinarians while she fights for her life. Positive for both parvo and pancreatitis, Persephone is receiving around the clock supportive care so that her body has time to heal. So far, it appears that this little girl has a lot of fight in her. We are hoping this remains. Please consider donating to Persephone's care. Caring for a pup with parvo is very expensive. However, we know that Persephone is beyond worth the cost. Your donation will not only help us support Persephone as she fights for survival but it will also help us welcome other dogs with medical needs. 

At this time, Persephone is not ready for adoption. However, we hope that in time she will be ready for a forever home that will give her a lifetime of love. Please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, cry, have accidents, and chew on inappropriate items. With time, patience, structure, and routine, Persephone will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to become.
