Lolly
ADOPTED 05/17/2024!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Lolly is nothing short of a survivor. This girl was picked up as a stray with another female dog who it was assumed was her sister and brought to a crowded shelter. Both girls were in poor condition. Emaciated, missing fur, covered in a skin sores, and heartworm positive, they entered the shelter just as a distemper outbreak occurred. Although both girls were very sweet, they were quickly added to the list for euthanasia. Luckily, they were pulled from the euthanasia room at the last second by another rescue when an incredible foster stepped up to help. Not all fosters are ready for one dog, but this one was open to two.
The girls were tightly bonded and were lucky to leave with their lives. Shortly after they arrived in care, Lolly's sister popped positive with distemper. This virus is often extremely challenging and takes many lives. Although she fought hard, Lolly's sister did not survive leaving Lolly alone and grieving. Her foster made sure Lolly had everything she needed to keep moving forward. He quarantined Lolly to make sure that she did not come down with the virus, kept her company, and began addressing her other medical needs. With her skin issues addressed, her weight back up where it belongs, and her heartworm's gone, Lolly has made huge strides. After months of recovery, Lolly is ready to find a forever family of her very own thanks to the love and support of her foster dad.
Lovely Lolly is an interactive girl. She enjoys the company of her human and canine companions. Now that she can be a dog, Lolly enjoys romping around outside. She has learned the joys of toys and a comfortable bed. Having lived with a foster for the last several months, Lolly has also been learning the ins and outs of living in a home. However, as is true of any new dog, this girl will need a chance to adjust to the routines and expectations of her forever family. A home with clear routines, structure, and leadership will help her thrive. Training will also go a long way with Lolly. Not only will training help her bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Lolly is looking for that special family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?
Updates:Lolly is still decompressing- she is very sweet, affectionate and wants to be a small lap dog- but she can’t because she is too big! This southern cutie came up in the freezing cold and is handling her transition changes very well. She discovered she enjoys snow, and it tastes good! Lolly is house trained, and is doing well with crate training. She is enjoying being with other dogs around her size. This is one food motivated pup which will be good for the basic training she was never taught.
Hook
ADOPTED 05/15/2024!
Good With Kids: Likely
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
The Neverland Litter (Hook, Pan, Wendy, Tootles, Pockets, Cubby, Nana, Nibs, Rufio, and Tink) was born on a property that is known for breeding and selling puppies. When these babies turned six weeks old, the owner dropped them along with a second litter at a shelter. Unfortunately, the shelter, like so many others, was sitting at critical capacity and knew they needed help moving the babies forward. Recognizing that a rescue would be the best option for these babies, a plea went out to GSD rescues up and down the coast for help. With puppy season in full swing, many groups are inundated with babies needing a safe place to move forward. When asked if we could welcome this group to the family, team MAGSR stepped forward.
The Neverland puppies are playful, interactive, and social puppies. Although they did not have the easiest start, they have had many different people in their corner since their arrival at the shelter. In the last few weeks, these babies have had many opportunities to start socializing with new people and in a variety of situations. Socialization is essential to their success; it is critical to their forever families continue this process. Living with some of our amazing foster families, these babies are learning the ins and outs of living in a home. They are learning all about the joys of good food, daily playtime, structure and routine. Although Hook and his siblings are beyond precious, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, and patience, we know that the Neverland Litter will grow up to become good canine citizens. If your family is ready to welcome handsome Hook into your home, ask to meet him today.
Abu
ADOPTED 05/14/2024!
Good With Kids: Unknown
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
Amazing Andora and her "A Litter" puppies (Annette, Aime, and Abu) were dumped at a crowded shelter. With limited resources and overwhelming numbers, the shelter could not provide for this family. Although they did everything they could to help all members of the family move forward, shelter staff knew that without rescue help, this family would likely be euthanized as spaces are simply not available. Fortunately, rescue groups began working together to help the entire family move forward safely. When asked if we could provide a safe place to land, we were lucky to be able to team up with another local group in order to ensure that all members of the family moved forward safely.
Andora and her babies are friendly, interactive, and beyond lovable. Abu is a little ball of joyful puppy energy. Interactive, curious, and ready for an adventure, Abu can't wait to explore everything in his environment. A toy aficionado, Abu, like his sisters, loves all things, rolly, squeaky, and crunchy. He is hoping his forever family has plenty of toys to keep him occupied for hours. Living in a foster home with other dogs and having already been exposed to cats, Abu is lucky to be gaining experiences with a variety of other creatures. As the little guy moves forward it is critical that his forever family continues to provide Abu with opportunities to socialize with new people, other animals, and in new environments. This will help Abu develop into a stable and confident adult dog. Although Abu is a charmer, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience, and socialization, we are sure that Abu will develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to be. If Abu sounds like the right match for your family, put in your application today! The "A Litter" puppies will be available for adoption as of May 1st.
Updates:Abu was adopted as a puppy into an incredible family that adored him. They recognized early on that Abu was showing prey drive, toy drive, and needed additional social support in controlled settings. Recognizing that training would be key to his success, they found a trainer that understood working breeds and began building a foundation for success. Although they took all of the right steps, Abu proved to be a little too much for their household. Knowing that a better match was out there for Abu, his family surrendered him back to MAGSR so that we could help him find that perfect family. We know this was an incredibly difficult decision. However, they did what they knew was best for their sweet boy.
Abu is an active, affectionate, and agile pup. Ready to take on the world, this boy has endless energy and drive. He must be placed with an active family that will exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. Abu loves trying new things particularly when food or praise is involved. In many ways he can be a firecracker with a strong will to please. With a strong and spirited personality, Abu can be very reactive with new creatures and in new environments. As Abu was building a foundation with a trainer prior to his return, our team decided that he would be most successful if we continued to build that foundation for success. As a result, he has been placed with one of our incredible training partners to continue this process. Over the last few weeks, Abu has been building a solid foundation for doggy manners. It is believed that his reactivity is largely fear-based. As a result, training and confidence building will be key to his success. Abu does very well with a good balance of work and play. He is developing key skills while also enjoying daily farm walks and plenty of playtime. Having lived in a home, Abu is crate trained and house broken. He loves adventures and is very well behaved when in the car. Abu will continue to work with one of our trainers to further solidify his foundational skills over the next few weeks. When ready, Abu will be looking for a family that will provide him with the structure, routine, and daily opportunities to meet with success. If this handsome little "pocket rocket" is the right match for your family, ask to meet him today!
Patterson

Good With Kids: Unknown

Full-loving Patterson is the life of the party. This handsome guy was picked up as a stray in the south. Although he waited for his family to reclaim him, no one came forward. Shelter staff immediately recognized that this goofy boy would be an incredible candidate for a loving home so that placed him up for adoption. Patterson waited patiently again for the right family. However, with overwhelming numbers of animals entering the shelter every day, Patterson was on borrowed time. Staff members did everything they could to help Patterson find a loving forever home. Unfortunately, many dogs come into shelters over capacity but fewer make it out. At the last second we learned about Patterson's likely fate. Fortunately, with the help of some other groups, we were able to bring this guy to safety so that he can find the adoring forever family we know is waiting for him.
Patterson is a friendly fellow who has earned the title social butterfly in playgroups. He seems to expertly avoid conflicts within groups and makes fast friends with other canine companions. A master gamer, this boy can turn just about anything into a game guaranteeing endless laughter and entertainment. Known for his delightful zoomie sessions, Patterson is a nice mix of playfulness and affection. True of most shepherds, Patterson likes to take a second to initiate new relationships with people. However, once comfortable, he is friendly and silly with his people. An energetic guy, this boy is looking for an active family that will help him exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. Playful and silly, Patterson tries to find the fun in all situations. It is important that his forever family provide him with the structure, routine, and leadership needed to meet with success. With time, patience, structure, and training, we know Patterson will meet with success. If you are looking for an adventurous guy to bring endless laughs and a good snuggle into your home, ask to meet Patterson today!
