Charming Chapo was picked up by another rescue last year in the Spring. The rescue that pulled him knew that this handsome guy was in desperate need of rescue support. Although they didn't have many options for him, they knew that if they kept him safe, they would be able to find a breed specific rescue that would be able to help Chapo move forward safely. Fortunately, they were able to provide Chapo with temporary placement where he thrived. Knowing that Chapo was a great dog but wasn't in the right situation to move forward, inquiries were sent out so that Chapo could transfer to a rescue with more options. When MAGSR had a few openings at the beginning of the year, our team stepped forward to offer this handsome guy the opportunity to find an incredible match that will love him for a lifetime. 

Chapo is a handsome boy with some good energy. A gentle soul, this boy is friendly but a little hesitant with new people and new situations. Having moved about so many times already, this sweetheart will need some time to decompress and settle into his forever home knowing that he will never need to look for a family again. True of the breed, Chapo will be most successful in an environment where structure, routine, and leadership are present. This will help him adjust to his forever home and develop the confidence he needs to meet with success. Training will go a long way with Chapo. He already knows several commands. However, continued training is critical as it will not only help Chapo create a healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. It is highly evident that Chapo was socialized with people and other animals along his journey. However, we do not have any information about his life prior to his arrival in rescue. This boy is looking for time, patience, and a soft landing with the right family. Could that family be you?

The St. Pat's Litter - Guiness, Seamus, and Gem - was born to a less than reputable breeder at the beginning of the year. Interested in selling the babies for money and not interested in seeing anything more than a paycheck, many backyard breeders and puppy mill owners feel that once puppies have reached twelve weeks, they are no longer of worth. As the puppies lose their worth in the eyes of their owners, many are inhumanly killed without a second thought. The St. Pat's litter was in the same situation as so many babies that have lost their lives due to greedy and inhumane practices. They had reached twelve weeks and the decision was made to end their lives with a shotgun. As luck would have it a good samaritan found out about the St. Pat's litter and knew she had to try to save them. Recognizing they had hours to live, she worked with the owner to have all three babies surrendered to MAGSR. 

Gem and her siblings - Seamus and Guiness - are beyond adorable. Although they grew up in less than ideal circumstances, these babies are sweet and social. With MAGSR's support they have moved into incredible foster families that have been showing them what true love looks and feels like. With daily opportunities to socialize with people and other animals, these babies have begun to receive the care and attention that they have deserved since they were born. Learning the ins and outs of living in a home, these babies have begun housebreaking and crate training. They are also learning the joy of endless toys, a comfortable bed, and nice full bellies. It is important that their forever families continue to provide them with opportunities to learn, socialize, and develop the skills needed to develop into stable adult dogs. Although Gem and her siblings are impressive babies, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience, and leadership, we know that the St. Pat's litter will grow into amazing canine citizens. If adorable Gem sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this little love toda
