As the shelter had very limited space, they immediately began sending out rescue pleas for Gotti. Recognizing this young guy deserves a loving forever home, we welcomed him into the MAGSR family. In many ways Gotti is a blank slate just waiting for his chance to impress the world with his adorable personality. Like any young dog, Gotti will excel with structure, patience, and leadership. Training will go a long way with this boy. It will not only help him bond to his new family but it will also help him develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to be. Gotti is looking for an active family. If he sounds like the right match for you, ask to meet him today.

ADOPTED 04/17/2021!

Sirius is going home!
SiriusSiriusSiriusSiriusSiriusSiriusSiriusSiriusSirius
Gender: Male
Breed: German Shepherd Dog
Approximate Age: 7 years 8 months
Color: Black & Tan
Current Size: 82 lbs
Ideal/Potential Size: 82 lbs
Housebroken: Yes
Obedience Trained: No
Altered: Yes

Good With Kids: Unknown
Good With Cats: Unknown
Other Dogs OK: Yes
DESCRIPTION:

Sirius and another male were picked up by animal control when they were found showing too much interest in a female dog in heat running loose. Although Sirius waited for his family to reclaim him, no one came to bring him home. Sirius quickly became a shelter staff favorite. Recognizing that Sirius would have his best chance at finding a forever home outside of the shelter, he was transferred to MAGSR. 

Sirius is a sweet dog who can be a little timid with new people. When given the opportunity to warm up Sirius enjoys the company of his people. Clearly having been on leash before, Sirius seems to understand some leash manners already. When introduced to dogs at the shelter, Sirius did well particularly, with the females. He even kept his cool when one of them was having a rough day. As a young dog, Sirius will thrive in a home that provides him with structure and routine. Training will go a long way with this boy as it will not only help him bond with his new family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen. Sirius will do well in a more experienced household that can provide him with the leadership that he craves. If Sirius sounds like the right match for your household, please ask him today. 

Updates:

Sirius is a very sweet and loving boy. He enjoys belly rubs and is working on perfecting his "shepherd lean". When I am home, I allow Sirius to free roam the house.  He is always close by, but not right on top of you. He enjoys lounging around the house (probably a good thing as he recovers from heart worms). He does very well on leash, he is housebroken and crate trained. He is very friendly with new people and approaches them without hesitation and a wagging tail. He does not show aggression towards other dogs we pass while walking for potty breaks.

Sirius does get nervous and shows anxiety when left at home alone, his foster is working with him to learn to be confident and comfortable.   If you are looking for a best friend that just wants to be with his humans, please reach out to meet this handsome guy.

Jam

ADOPTED 04/17/2021!

Jam and the Fam!
JamJam
Gender: Male
Breed: German Shepherd Dog
Age: 12 years 8 months
Color: black & tan
Current Size: 89lbs
Ideal/Potential Size: 80lbs
Housebroken: Yes
Obedience Trained: Partially
Altered: Yes

Good With Kids: Older kids, over 12
Good With Cats: Unlikely
Other Dogs OK: Yes
DESCRIPTION:

Jam's family loved him dearly; however, they found themselves in a situation where Jam needed to be rehomed. Although it was very hard to say goodbye, Jam's family recognized that this was in his best interest. MAGSR promised Jam's family that we would find him a safe and loving forever home.

Jam is a friendly guy. He is a fan of both people and dogs but can get a little overexcited when meeting them and stop to talk a bit. We all love to socialize. A big fan of walks, Jam understands that when the leash comes out it is time to go. Although he knows many commands on leash, refreshers are always a good thing for everyone. As is true of any new dog, Jam will meet with success in a structured environment that will provide him with time and leadership while he adjusts to his new home. As a working line dog, Jam will need both his body and mind exercised on a daily basis. When engaging with Jam, he is most excited by balls, rubber bones, and food based toys. Although he wouldn't mind plush toys either, Jam tends to destroy them. Something a little stronger is safer in Jam's case. If you love to throw the ball, Jam is the dog for you. He loves a nice rotation when chasing the ball. We hear three is the magic number with Jam. Daily exercise will not only help Jam adjust positively to his new environment but it will also help him gain stability as he moves forward. Jam is clearly a special guy who is looking for the perfect forever home. Is that home with you?

Updates:

Jam is living with his foster and they have reported he is a gentle, well behaved dog.  He seems to love people, is somewhat trained and really easy to handle. He is housebroken and crate trained.  If you are looking for an older, gentle dog that is well behaved please ask to meet this handsome boy.

Jam may be called a Senior, but don't be fooled this guy is energetic and active.   

Jam is fully housebroken and crate trained.  He doesn’t lay on furniture, does not counter surf, does not beg at the dinner table and is well mannered.  He’s a real gentleman inside the house but he has his way of telling you when he wants to go out or needs more water. This guy will sleep in his crate all through the night without a peep. 

He loves to play tug of war with his Red Bone but when you have had enough, he lays down and chews on it. He’s a big, strong boy who loves to go on walks but is much too busy sniffing around to pull anyone along.  He knows several commands but could use a refresher course or just more practice.  Of course, he’ll do anything for food or a snack.

He has a big bark but we’ve never seen a snarl or growl. He loves meeting new people and gets excited to meet other dogs but settles down after proper introductions.

If you want someone to spend some time with and respond unconditionally, Jam’s the right dog!

Zuleika

ADOPTED 04/14/2021!

Zuleika
Zuleika
Gender: Female
Breed: German Shepherd Mix
Approximate Age: 4 years 10 months
Color: Black & Tan
Current Size: 30 lbs
Ideal/Potential Size: large
Housebroken: No, I'm a puppy!
Obedience Trained: No, I'm a puppy!
Altered: Yes

Good With Kids: Yes
Good With Cats: Yes
Other Dogs OK: Yes
DESCRIPTION:

Sweet Zuleika and her little family were dumped and forced to fend for themselves. Fortunately, a good samaritan found this little group of puppies and quickly brought them to the safety of a shelter. Although they presented as typical puppies on arrival, unfortunately, within a few days these babies broke with parvo. This horrifying virus takes so many young lives too soon. An immediate plea was sent out for help. With the support of an amazing team of veterinarians and a kind donor, MAGSR was able to get this little family the help they needed. Against the odds, all three little fighters survived. 

Having survived parvo, Zuleika is a super puppy. She cannot ever contract this horrible disease again. Ready to move onto a life of love, cuddles, and safety, Zuleika cannot wait to meet her forever family. Although Zuleika is beyond sweet, please remember that puppies are a lot of work and require an endless amount of attention from their family. Puppies are full of puppy antics, get into things, and chew on inappropriate items. With time, patience, guidance, and training, Zuleika will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to become. If Zuleika sounds like the right match for your family, please ask to meet her today.

Sasha

ADOPTED 04/12/2021!


SashaSashaSasha
Gender: Female
Breed: German Shepherd Dog
Approximate Age: 5 years 7 months
Color: Black & Cream
Current Size: 76 lbs
Housebroken: Yes
Obedience Trained: No
Altered: Yes

Good With Kids: Yes
Good With Cats: Yes, but will chase
Other Dogs OK: Yes
DESCRIPTION:

Sasha's family loved her dearly. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, they could no longer care for her. Although surrendering her was a difficult decision, they knew this would give Sasha her best chance at finding a safe and loving forever home. We promised Sasha's family that we would find her the perfect forever family. Sasha is a lovely girl. She is charming and playful when comfortable with her people. We have been told she is good with children, dogs, and cats. However, like many young dogs, sometimes she gets a little rough with the cats. When corrected by them, she recognizes their boundaries and moves on. 

Although this sweet southern girl is a doll with her family, she will need continued socialization and training. Having had limited experiences within the community, Sasha will need time, patience, and leadership as she learns about the world around her. Sasha will thrive in an environment where structure and routine are infused into daily activities. She will do well with a family that understands and has experience with the breed. With time, patience, guidance and training, Sasha will develop into the good canine citizen she is destined to become. If Sasha sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today.
