Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Found on the side of the road as just a baby, Dempsey’s life started off uncertain. He was brought to an overcrowded shelter—scared, unsure, and far too young to be navigating such a tough world alone. While the shelter staff did everything they could, they knew he needed more than they could offer. So they reached out for help. When MAGSR heard Dempsey’s story, we knew he belonged with a family who would see just how special he truly is.

Now safe in a loving foster home, Dempsey is getting a fresh start. Because he spent his early days in a shelter environment, he missed out on some critical socialization, and can be a bit timid in new situations or with unfamiliar people. But every day, his amazing foster family is helping him grow more confident. He’s learning, exploring, and beginning to understand what it means to just be a puppy.

Dempsey will thrive in a forever home that’s ready to continue his journey with patience, structure, and love. He’ll need guidance, routine, and ongoing socialization to help him build confidence. Training will also play a huge role in his development—not just to teach him basic manners, but to help him bond deeply with his people and learn how to be a well-rounded canine companion.

Puppies like Dempsey are absolutely adorable—but they’re also a lot of work. Expect whining, accidents, chewing, and a whole lot of goofy antics. But with time and consistency, the reward is a loyal, loving shepherd who will bring joy to your life every single day.

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a pup with tons of potential, Dempsey is ready to meet you. He may be small now, but he has a big heart—and he’s just waiting to share it with his forever family.

This lovely lady was picked up as a stray and brought to an overcrowded shelter, where all of the loud sounds and smells were incredibly scary. Eventually, she found her way into another rescue to make sure her second chance was set up for success. That rescue later reached out for help with some of the dogs in their care, and as we all know, teamwork makes the dream work, so MAGSR didn't think twice before stepping forward to assist.

Tessa is a loving honey. Her amazing fosters have been helping her learn about the joys of being a puppy and taking in the world around her. With opportunities to go for walks in the cooler evenings, Tessa loved to play in the long grass and chase water in the creek. A big cuddler, she is friendly, young, affectionate, and resilient. She has done well with other dogs and absolutely adores children. With a high prey drive, she definitely doesn't think of cats in the same way. Super-social with people, Tessa especially loves to snuggle with her people, but does understand the concept of toys and has good energy. A bit of a goofball, she sometimes puts her whole snout into the water dish when getting a good drink. This sweet girl rides perfectly in the car and is non-reactive to other cars or animals that she passes. Like many dogs of this breed, Tessa will thrive when both her body and mind are kept active through exercise. A home with daily physical and mental stimulation would help her shine. Continuing her training and socialization will go a long way with this smart cutie. Not only will training help her develop a healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her build the skills needed to become a good canine citizen as an adult. Similar to any new dog, Tessa will thrive with structure, routine, leadership, and clear expectations from a calm and confident handler. This will help her adjust to the expectations of her forever family. If you're looking for a pup to snuggle up with you and make you laugh, ask to meet Tessa today.

Found as a stray alongside his two siblings, Hero is the last of his litter still searching for his happily ever after. His brother is on his way to becoming a service dog for a child with special needs, and his sister has already charmed her way into a forever home thanks to her sweet temperament. Now it's Hero’s turn.

This little guy is the full package: social, dog- and cat-friendly, good with kids, and surprisingly non-destructive for a pup his age. He’s currently living in a foster home where he sleeps in bed, soaking up affection and working on building a solid foundation for a bright future.

While Hero is still learning to love his crate (he’s a bit vocal about it!), he’s making progress every day. He’s eager to learn, incredibly loving, and clearly full of potential. With some patience, consistency, and training, we believe Hero will grow into an exceptional companion.

Puppies like Hero are adorable, but they are also a lot of work—they chew, whine, and have accidents. But they also offer unmatched love, laughter, and loyalty in return.

Hero is hoping that MAGSR can be the bridge to the forever family he’s dreaming of. Could that be you?

Delightful Dixie was picked up as a stray and brought to a shelter. Like so many shelters, the shelter that welcomed Dixie was sitting over capacity. Although shelter staff were doing everything they could to meet the needs of the animals in their care, with numbers significantly over sustainable levels, difficult choices had to be made. Upon her arrival Dixie was at risk to be euthanized; however, she was also quickly winning the hearts of everyone at the shelter. Knowing they likely did not have placement options for Dixie, shelter staff began pleading for rescue help to ensure that Dixie could move forward safely and find a loving family of her very own. When we asked our foster team if they could help Dixie, we were beyond fortunate to have a family step forward. 

Dixie is a stunning and sweet little lady. Clearly loved by someone along her journey, Dixie has been well socialized with people and other dogs. She knows that people can be kind, affectionate, and loving. A social and affectionate girl she showers her people with love. A generally calm girl, Dixie is stable and intelligent. She loves her daily walks and settles in nicely with her foster family when it is time to slow down. Although an amazing girl, Dixie, like all shepherds, will benefit greatly from training. Training will not only help Dixie develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen, but it will also help her build a strong and healthy bond with her forever family. We are still learning about Dixie, but we do know that she is a special girl who deserves an amazing forever family. 

If this belly rub loving, affectionate girl sounds like the right fit for your family, ask to meet Miss Dixie today!

Beautiful Bells was adored by her owner. She was raised with love, affection, and opportunities to socialize with people and other animals. Unfortunately, when her owner passed away Bells had limited options. Extended family kept an eye on her for a bit, but when storms hit and Bells got loose they decided she could not return. Instead they left her in an exceptionally overcrowded shelter with an uncertain future. Nationally, shelters and rescues are significantly over capacity. There are simply too many animals and not enough placements. Groups across the nation are doing everything they can to save as many lives as possible; however, the reality is many incredible animals do not make it out of shelters alive. Recognizing that Bells' deserved the chance to move forward safely with a family that would cherish her for a lifetime, shelter staff reached out to MAGSR for help. Fortunately, we had an amazing foster family step forward and were able to welcome Bells into the MAGSR family.

Beautiful Bells is young, active, and affectionate. It is beyond obvious that this girl loves her people and has had opportunities to interact with people of all ages. Still learning basic manners, Bells will need to learn to keep all four paws on the ground. However, with clear expectations, consistency, and training, we know that Bells will learn fast. She already knows to sit on command and walks relatively well on leash when the correct equipment is used. Curious about the world around her, Bells has a busy nose but does not pull excessively on leash. She will however need an active family that can provide her with daily opportunities to exercise. Living in a household with kids, cats, and other dogs, Bells is friendly with everyone. She is responsive to the boundaries set by the cat and is comfortable with the dogs in the home. As Bells is new to the MAGSR family, we are still learning about her household manners. At this time, she is crate training and seems to be housebroken. Time will tell on this piece. Structure, routine, and clear expectations are already in place as Bells decompresses from all of the changes in her life. Maintaining this set-up will help Bells continue to make the adjustments she needs to meet with success. Overall, this lovely girl is a go-with-the-flow kind of lady. However, after all she has been through, storms are not her thing and she does need to be kept safe and secure during rough weather.

Bells is looking for a household that will fill her days with joy, treats, and belly rubs and her nights with plenty of soft blankets and cuddles. If this lovely little girl sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet Bells today!
