Mac
ADOPTED 08/28/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Sweet Mac was picked up by animal control and brought to a shelter. Upon her arrival it was highly evident that she was in need of medical support. Mac could pull herself up on her front two legs, but struggled to move her back end. Shelter staff immediately got her into a vet to see what they could do to help this lovely little girl. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Mac had a fractured pelvis, close to the right hip, and a dislocated left hip. It is presumed that Mac was hit by a car. She would need surgical support to help her move forward. Unfortunately, this was not an option at the shelter and would likely result in Mac being euthanized. In an attempt to save her life, a plea for help went out. MAGSR's volunteers knew they needed to help.
Mac is an absolute sweetheart. Even with the significant amount of pain that she is in, Mac is still gentle and affectionate. Her lovely eyes simply tug at your heartstrings. We have already begun working with Mac's surgical team to help her move forward. Mac will need to take it slow as she heals; however, at her age, a full recovery is expected. As a young girl, Mac is still learning all about the world around her. She, just like any young pup, will benefit greatly from continued socialization. This is critical as it will help her develop into a stable and confident adult. Mac is looking for a family that will love and cherish her for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today.
Updates:It has been an absolute pleasure to have Mac in our home. She is a complete love bug. Full of tail wags and kisses, Mac may not have always been treated kindly by humans, as is evident from her emaciated frame and bullets in her tail; however, she remains interactive and social. A fan of people and kids, Mac welcomes everyone with kisses. Living with other shepherds, Mac takes a moment to realize that she is safe and then immediately begins interacting with the same little wiggles that she shows everyone. Although we do not know much about Mac's past, she is housebroken and crate trained. Mac settles very nicely in her crate and enjoys a cracked moose or elk horn to keep her entertained. A fan of toys and balls, Mac is playful and entertaining but is not a high energy dog. She enjoys her playtime but is also happy to curl up and relax. Mac is still learning to adjust to the world outside. She enjoys her daily walks but is still developing confidence when encountering new items or sounds. Having been hit by a car, Mac does pause when cars are moving near her. However, daily practice is helping her move forward. Mac is looking for a loving forever home that will care for her for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today.
Prince
ADOPTED 08/28/2021!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 12
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Handsome Prince was a beloved member of his family. However, due to circumstances beyond their control, they could no longer care for him. Although surrendering Prince was a very difficult decision, his family knew that this was in his best interest as it allowed him to move forward. We promised Prince's family that we would find him a safe and loving forever home.
Prince is an energetic and playful guy. He loves to run around and play ball. Prince is looking for an active family. A family member with a good throwing arm would be an added bonus. Good with dogs, particularly little dogs, and cats, Prince enjoys the company of his furry friends. Having lived in a loving household, Prince is both housebroken and crate trained. Although he understands a lot of the rules of living in a household already, he will need a refresher in his new home. Prince has also had the benefit of a few training sessions prior to his arrival. However, he will need to attend training with his new family as this will help him not only bond to them. This will also help him develop the skills he needs to become a good canine citizen. Prince is looking for a family that will provide him with the structure, routine and leadership to move forward. Could that be with you?
Homer
ADOPTED 08/28/2021!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Handsome Homer was surrendered to a local shelter as his family felt that they could no longer care for him. Although Homer seems to like people, he is very submissive and a little jumpy with new people and situations. Recognizing that Homer would be most successful if placed through a rescue, the shelter began sending out pleas for help. When we learned of Homer's situation, MAGSR immediately stepped forward to welcome him to the family.
Homer is a big, handsome boy. He is curious and affectionate but does need adjustment time when encountering new people, places, and situations. Head shy and very submissive when being leashed, Homer may not have always been treated affectionately. He will need time to learn to trust that his new family will treat him kindly. Thriving on confidence and stability, Homer is looking for a family that will move him forward positively. As is true of all shepherds, Homer will benefit greatly from training. Not only will this help him bond to his forever family, but it will also help him develop the confidence he needs to become a good canine citizen. Homer is looking for an experienced GSD household that is ready to commit to him for a lifetime. If this gorgeous guy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today!
Homer, a shy dog, is waiting for his fur-ever home where he can shine!
Updates:Wow! Homer has really come out of his shell since he as been living with his foster. He was so scared and unsure when he first arrived but now his personality is shining. He loves to play ball, sit for pets and is doing great with obedience training. Homer is a big guy who loves meeting new people and will continue to build confidence with structure. Homer is crate trained and house broken. If you are looking for a big boy to be a part of your family contact us to meet him.
Sable
ADOPTED 08/23/2021!
Good With Kids: Older kids, over 16
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Sable joined MAGSR when her family could no longer care for her. Although this was a very difficult decision, they knew this was Sable's best option for finding a forever home. We promised them that we would find Sable a safe and loving family.
Sable is a young, beautiful girl. Curious but cautious, Sable likes to take her time when acclimating to new people and situations. She seems to prefer a calm but confident handler. As a young dog, Sable still has a lot to learn about the world around her. She will benefit from socialization; however, this will be most successful if started in a controlled environment. With time, training, and increased confidence, Sable will develop the skills all shepherds need to meet with success. Training will be beneficial as it will not only help Sable bond with her new family but it will also help her build confidence and stability. Sable will thrive with structure, routine, and consistency. As we are still getting to know this lovely little girl, watch for updates on her progress.
Russell
ADOPTED 08/21/2021!
Good With Kids: Yes
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Russell was dumped in a suburban neighborhood. This smart guy chose a house and decided to hang out on their doorstep. Fortunately, he chose a dog-loving household who immediately brought him in and started taking the right steps to try to find his family. Although they worked with the local shelter and lost dog groups, no one came forward to claim Russell. Without the resources to keep Russell as a member of their household, this family waited for his stray to to finish and began reaching out for rescue help. We knew Russell would be an excellent addition to the MAGSR family and stepped forward to welcome him.
Handsome Russell is a young, energetic, and playful guy. Although we don't know much about his past, it is very evident that he has been socialized with other dogs and people. As a young dog, it is imperative that Russell's new family continue this socialization with new people, animals, and environments. This will help him develop into a stable and confident adult. In addition to regular socialization, Russell will need daily exercise for both his mind and his body. He will need an active family that can meet these needs. As is true of all young dogs, Russell will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. His new family will need to take him to training so that he can develop a healthy bond with them. Training is also important as it will help Russell become a good canine citizen. If this impressive guy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today!
Updates:Russell is settling well into his foster home. He is fully house broken and is learning how to sleep quietly in his crate at night. Russell is a sweet boy who loves to cuddle with you on the couch. Since he is so young, he does have a lot of energy and likes long walks. He was never obedience trained and still has some bad puppy habits like picking up socks, but is getting better with some structure and consistent house rules. He learned 'sit to say please' very quickly! Russell would do really well in a home that has another dog he can play with. He keeps trying to play with the resident dog, but she is not interested. He is persistent and has not given up yet! He is friendly with other people and dogs.
