Apollo is a big, handsome fellow, and he is settling in nicely in his foster home.  It has been a couple weeks so this very striking and impressive dog is starting to get past the stress of being separated from his previous family, and is showing himself to be even-tempered, affectionate, and trained GSD.  With consistent and appropriate guidance from his person, he walks very well on leash, is well-mannered passing strangers and other dogs out walking in the neighborhood, and is generally very attentive and responsive.  However, Apollo is a powerful, headstrong dog that will require structure and strong leadership, and he does show some anxiety when left completely alone so he will need to be properly managed by an experienced adopter to build his confidence and avoid potential separation anxiety.  He is comfortable with the other dogs in his foster home, and crates very well.  Apollo is alert and can be protective of his space and pack, and will alarm bark at unfamiliar people.  He listens well, and is very focused on a leader that he trusts, and will need to complete training with his new people to help build and ensure those bonds of trust.  He will thrive in a home that can provide him with the love and consistent leadership that he needs, and he deserves nothing less.  If you think Apollo might be the dog for you, please ask to learn more about him.

Lovely Olivia found herself left in a shelter drop box this summer. Although a little confused as to what all was happening to her, Olivia joined the MAGSR family and has never looked back. Throughout the rescue Olivia is known to be a charmer. Her bouncy, alert, and attentive personality are an immediate draw to everyone around her. 

Olivia's current age estimate is very rough.

Olivia has thrived throughout her time in the rescue and she will be a lovely addition to her forever home. Although Olivia is ready to settle down in her forever home, she will require a little extra support as she has tested positive for heartworms. This diagnosis would have been easily avoided had Olivia been kept on monthly heartworm preventatives. Fortunately, Olivia has begun the first steps in the treatment process and will continue to receive the care she needs to move forward. MAGSR is committed to paying for Olivia's treatment; donations toward her care are greatly appreciated. If Olivia sounds like the right dog for your household, please ask to meet her today!
