I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by Donating or Volunteering?
Description

One of the largest puppy mill busts found hundreds of German Shepherd's living in absolute filth and in horrendous condition.  Ankle deep mud and feces mixed with urine, no adequate shelter, lacking food and clean water is how these dogs were left to live, many for years.  The urgent call was made and MAGSR knew we had to take in as many as possible.  We now have 38 dogs that have a multitude of medical needs that we are addressing, and they need to learn to trust humans.  All dogs are scared, some are shut down, but our volunteers and vets will get them on their road to recovery.  It will be awhile before these dogs are ready for adoption, so please be patient and watch for updates. 

An undertaking of this size for an all-volunteer rescue is quite a task, but one we are meeting it head on.  Many of the dogs require medical boarding so that they can receive the best possible care.  We are committed to providing everything they need, not only medically, but emotionally.  Our medical costs are going to be at an amount we have never seen before.  We need your help, the dogs need your help.  Please donate , your donation will go towards their ongoing care, medical needs, emotional needs and help them on their road to recovery and a brighter future.

Updates:
The GA 38 arrived in MAGSR’s care in early/mid January 2019 and over the past two months, their transformation has been nothing short of amazing. These 38 broken souls knew nothing but a life of filth, hunger, and abuse. Their eyes were filled with the look of fear, emptiness and uncertainty. They cowered in the corners of their runs and tried to be as far away from humans as possible and MAGSR volunteers knew they had quite a challenge ahead to right the wrongs of their past prior to arriving in MAGSR's care. MAGSR volunteers stepped up & took on the challenge head on. And now, two months later, through the endless work of dedicated volunteers that have selflessly given their time, patience and love, these beautiful creatures have begun to meet us with tail wags, lean-ins as we walk with them, and most importantly, where once there was emptiness and fear in their eyes, it’s clear those memories have been replaced with hope and even a bit of curiosity. Their wounds have healed, their bellies are full and they have learned that all humans aren’t so bad. They are greeting us at the front of their kennel runs now eager for treats and walks. All of them have learned to walk on a leash and we are beginning some basic obedience with them such as "sit", "heel" and “watch me.” They are now used to being handled regularly for normal things such as baths, getting their weights taken, and taking their monthly preventatives. Best of all, volunteers are seeing their unique personalities and social side come out with other dogs. Just a few months ago, they were all fighting for the same food and water and ability to stay alive but today, many have completely let down their guard and are comfortable enough to engage in play and/or positively interact with other dogs. All  of these dogs have shown us how intelligent and resilient they are and have made significant strides in their road of rehabilitation. They are ready for the next chapter of their journey and we hope you may be part of  their story. , Nadja is adjusting to life in a foster home. Normal household sounds make her a little nervous, but she improves each day. She has not had any accidents in the house and holds it during an entire work day as well as through the night. She is most relaxed enjoying sunshine in the backyard with her foster mom. To gain confidence, Nadja goes on frequent walks around the neighborhood. Sirens, loud engines, bike riders, and children playing cause her a bit of anxiety. While outside, she will allow “strangers” to gradually approach and scratch her ears. She is learning to enjoy the attention of caring humans and will offer a kiss and tail wag in exchange for a belly rub. With patience, and a little time, love and training and Nadja will be a great family member.

She was initially uncertain in the house (because she has never been in one before), but she is getting used to the noises and going up and down our many stairs. She has been eating well, been calm in the crate all day and night, and is amazing on her walks. She heels nicely, does not pull at all, and is not reactive to dogs or people in the park. Her current project is learning how to sit on command. She has also had no accidents in the house and holds it during an entire work day and makes it through the whole night, waiting until she goes on her walks. She has also been incredible with the resident cats in the foster home, being very calm and showing no signs of aggression or even interest. What an amazing dog to have come out of that terrible hoarding situation! She will just need a little time, love and training and we are confident she will make someone an awesome pup! Ask to meet Sylvan today!

Description

Darby came to us as a surrender as his family did not have time for him. Puppies take a lot of time, they need to be potty trained, taught not too chew on things they shouldn't, socialized outside of the family, taught leash manners, provided with lots of exercise and training. They do best when provided with structure and exercise to burn off their puppy energy.  They are a lot of work but well worth the effort if you have the time and are willing to make a commitment for their lifetime. Darby will need all of this, he will have you laughing and at times frustrated but he is very worth it.

Updates:
Darby is very affectionate and eager to please. He tends to jump on people looking for attention, but with consistent correction he is learning to adjust this behavior.  He would be very happy as a lap dog, although he will soon outgrow anyone's ability to hold him. Darby needs to build more self-confidence which will happen with socialization and training. He loves the resident female GSD and is so cute following her on her routine walks around the perimeter of the yard. Darby figured out how to open the back door in no time - he is a clever boy and will need someone who can provide mental challenges and keep him from getting bored. He is full of energy and is a joy to have around.

Ariel

Adopted: 06/19/2019!

Gender: Female

Breed: German Shepherd Dog

Approximate Age: 2 years old

Color: Black & Tan

Current Size: 62 lbs

Ideal/Potential Size:

Housebroken: Working on it

Obedience Trained: No

Living with: Foster

History: Shelter

Good with Kids: Older Kids Only

Good with Cats: Unknown

Other Dogs OK: Yes

Description

Ariel came to us from a not so good situation.  She was used as a breeding dog, she was not provided with proper care or adequate living conditions.  Thankfully after complaints and an investigation she, along with other dogs were confiscated.  Ariel is now in our care where she is looking for a family that will provide her with a loving and warm home, where she means more to his family than just a breeder dog.

Updates:
Ariel is doing very well in her foster home. Her foster parents are discovering that she is a very timid but loving young pup. At home, she's a loving, cuddly, sweet girl, but is timid when meeting new people. Ariel is learning from the resident dogs in the foster home, as many dogs do. When away from other dogs, Ariel becomes very anxious and fearful – therefore, we feel she would do best in a home with another dog, similar in size, to help teach her as well as help to calm her anxious and timid behavior. As Ariel was kept in a shelter for 8 months before coming to MAGSR, she is underweight and has some muscle deterioration which her fosters are working with her to get both back to normal. Ariel has learned her name and some commands such as “no” and “sit”. She is mouthy and sometimes demands attention by running into her humans, so her fosters are working with her on those behaviors. Ariel is a very energetic girl and loves to run and play chase with her foster siblings as long as they are allowed. She will need an active home, with a strong leader, who is willing to provide her with the appropriate training and leadership required for the breed. Are you willing to tame the wild child to see the beauty she can be? If so, ask to meet Ariel today.
