Description

Handsome Henry and his siblings - Frannie and Miles - were an accidental litter. Although the family that they were born into raised them in a loving home, they recognized that they could not afford three additional pups. Knowing that these babies deserved safe and loving forever homes, the difficult decision was made to surrender all three babies to rescue. We promised to find these babies amazing forever homes.

Henry, Frannie, and Miles are absolute love bugs. They are social, interactive, and endless fun. It is highly evident that these babies have been socialized well. Although they have an excellent start, it is critical that their forever families continue to provide them with opportunities to socialize with new people and animals in varied environments. These babies are darlings; however, it is important to remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their families. Puppies are full of puppy energy which results in endless puppy antics. They will get into things, whine, and will chew on inappropriate items. With time, training, patience, and continued socialization, Frannie, Henry, and Miles will develop into good canine citizens. These babies are looking for forever homes that will commit to them for a lifetime. Could that family be you?

Description

Wiggly little Pixel was picked up all alone in a busy city. When animal control officers brought this little cutie into a shelter, staff members immediately fell in love with this little guy. Sweet and so very loveable, staff members recognized that this boy deserved a loving forever home but would likely be most successful if placed through a rescue. When asked if we could welcome Pixel into the MAGSR family, we immediately stepped forward. 

Pixel is an absolute love. He has clearly learned the joy of toys and wiggles every time he sees them. Pixel is particularly thrilled to play ball and is hoping his forever family likes to play ball too. Although Pixel is joy in a little package, please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy energy which results in endless puppy antics. They will get into things, whine, and will chew on inappropriate items. With time, training, patience, and socialization, Pixel will develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to become. Pixel is looking for a forever home that will commit to him for a lifetime. Could that family be you?

Description

Handsome Andrew was picked up as a stray and brought to a shelter. Although he waited for a family to come and claim him, no one stepped forward. Shelter staff loved Andrew's playful personality; however, as the shelter was overcapacity, they began reaching out to rescues for help. When MAGSR heard about Andrew, we knew he would be a great addition to the MAGSR family. 

Andrew is in many ways your typical, young, energetic shepherd. He is curious about the world and is learning about the joys of toys. Although we do not know anything about Andrew's past, it is clear that he is ready to move forward with his future. As is true of all young shepherds, Andrew will be most successful in a household with structure, routine, and consistent leadership. This will not only help him adjust to his new household, but it will also help him develop an understanding of the expectations of living in a home. In addition, Andrew will benefit greatly from training; training will help him develop the skills and strategies he needs to develop into a good canine citizen. 

Unfortunately, we have learned that Andrew is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if he had been given monthly heartworm preventatives. Andrew's heartworm treatment has begun. Although treatment is expensive, this handsome guy is definitely worth the cost. Please consider donating to Andrew's care. Your generosity will help us not only support Andrew throughout his heartworm treatment, but it will also help us support other dogs with medical needs. Although Andrew will need to take it slow over the next few months while he undergoes treatment, this will give him time to adjust to his new environment. Andrew is looking for a forever family that will commit to him for a lifetime. Could that family be you?

Description

Jojo and Chloe were confiscated due to neglect. When they arrived at a shelter emaciated and unclean, shelter staff immediately started working to make these two sweethearts comfortable. Although steps were taken to help Jojo and Chloe begin to decompress in safety, staff knew that the shelter environment was not the right place to help this pair move forward. In order to help them find the comfort and safety they deserved, a rescue plea was issued. As soon as we heard about Jojo and Chloe, our team began putting together plans to help this amazing pair move forward. 

Although these lovely survivors have endured hardship and neglect, Jojo and Chloe are an amazing pair. Jojo is the more confident of the two. He is sweet, interactive and simply wants love. Chloe is a little more timid than Jojo. Her lovely personality comes out with a little time. Both pups have deep, warm eyes that simply pull at your soul. Since joining the MAGSR family, Jojo and Chloe have already begun to get the care and love that they deserve. They have seen our vet and are beginning to move forward.

The information above applies to Jojo, the only diffences being that Chloe is a bit smaller at 50 lbs and younger at about 7 years of age.

They have also been placed in a loving foster family that is showing them the joys of living in a safe, warm, and comfortable home where all of their needs are met. Although we are still getting to know Jojo and Chloe, we do know that these two deserve a special forever family that has room in their hearts for two. If your family is looking for a gentle and loving pair of dogs, please ask to meet Jojo and Chloe today!

Description

Anna and her siblings, Jodie and Teddy Bear, were brought to a shelter when their owner passed away. Unfortunately, it was apparent that their owner had been struggling to care for these dogs for a while. Fearful and avoidant in the shelter environment, this little family needed out and fast. Knowing we could provide this family with the life and love they deserve, MAGSR welcomed them to the family.

Anna is a sweet little lady but she is extremely timid. Somewhat hand-shy and avoidant, Anna does well with a patient but confident handler who will give her time to trust. Once comfortable and with time to decompress, she will warm up for love and attention. Due to the condition in which she arrived, Anna has needed a little extra TLC. She arrived sick with an URI, severe ear infection, and dirty from lack of care. Fortunately, our amazing vetting partners were able to help Anna get the relief she needed. We are continuing to work with them to make sure that Anna has everything she needs as she moves forward. With time, patience, and a little support, Anna is making steady progress. Anna will thrive in a household that will provide structure, routine, and patience. Due to her history, she will likely benefit from a calm and confident household.

Unfortunately, we have discovered that Anna is heartworm positive. This condition could have been avoided had she been provided monthly heartworm preventatives. We have already begun Anna's treatment. The cost of her entire treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Treatment is expensive, but this lovely girl is beyond worth the cost. Please consider donating toward Jodie's treatment. Your generosity will help us save her and other dogs with medical needs. Although Anna will need to take it slow over the next few months while she undergoes treatment, this will give her time to adjust to her new environment and meet with success in her forever home. Anna is looking for a forever family that will provide her with the structure, patience, and love that she so clearly deserves. Could this be with you?

Updates:
Ms. Anna is a special girl.  She is very sweet but very shy, and she generally prefers dogs to people – so she’s pretty smart!   She’s been in her foster home for a few months getting over her heartworm, and she has come a very long way from the distant, tail-tucked, and fearful girl that first arrived with us.  She’s needed the time to get comfortable with her human foster, while in the interim she relied on her foster sister, to whom she bonded almost instantly.  Anna has a different way of communicating with people than folks expect from a dog.  Her positive signals can be subtle and easy to miss or misinterpret, and she prefers the familiar, routine, and relies on the confidence of her “big sister,” to be comfortable and happy.  She is a lovely animal, and it is a pleasure to see her relax and enjoy her life, and she is ready to move on.  But Anna is not for everybody.  Anna will need a sensitive and patient person, who ideally has a sweet confident dog, that can give Anna the space and time she’ll need to build the human bond.  It will be easier for her going forward, now that she’s learned to trust someone.  But her new family will need to love Anna on her terms.  Please reach out if you feel you can give Anna the special love she needs.
