Patterson
ADOPTED 05/12/2024!
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?
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!
Pockets
ADOPTED 05/11/2024!
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 Pockets and her 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 precious Pockets into your home, ask to meet her today.
Updates:Pockets is an amazing little girl. Of all the puppies her foster parents have fostered over the past 10+ years, Pockets is the FIRST to not only teach herself how to go UP and DOWN the stairs (whhaaat?) but also she is probably 90% potty trained- again, all on her own! She uses her foster sister and brothers as guides for knowing What To Do, and loves to play. She is still working on basic commands (sit, stay). She is incredibly smart and would do well in an environment with a lot of stimulation, or maybe even as a service dog!!! She definitely needs to be around other dogs, so her foster parents highly recommend she go to a house with other dogs she can play with.
Granite
ADOPTED 05/10/2024!
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?
Handsome Granite was picked up as a stray in a busy city. Although he was very good with staff members at the shelter, due to overwhelming numbers of dogs needing placement Granite was placed on the list to be euthanized. Fortunately, another rescue was visiting the shelter to meet some other dogs when they came upon Granite. Knowing we were hoping to help this guy move forward before it was too late, they evaluated him and helped him move safely into the MAGSR family. Teamwork really does save lives.
Granite is currently living with an amazing foster family. They are giving him endless opportunities to meet with success in a safe and patient environment. Although Granite enjoys his people, it is clear that he hasn't always been treated kindly. He can be a little jumpy with new people, particularly if they bring their hands up over his head. With a little time and patience, Granite warms up nicely and can't wait to play, interact, and snuggle. Although we do not know much about Granite's past, we do know that his future is bright. He is currently learning the ins and outs of living in a household. It is highly evident that this guy is a quick learner and is excited to be in a home. Like all new dogs, Granite will need some time to adjust to the structure, routines, and expectations of his forever family. However, he is currently building a good foundation. Granite, like all GSDs, will benefit greatly from training. Not only will training help him build a strong relationship with his forever family, but it will also help him build the skills and confidence needed to become a good canine citizen.
Unfortunately, we have learned that Granite is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided if he had been kept on monthly heartworm preventatives. Although treatment is expensive, we know that Granite is more than worth the cost. Already in the beginning stages of treatment, we are committed to helping Granite receive the medical care needed to move forward safely. Please consider donating to Granite's care as this will not only help us meet his needs, but it will also help us meet the needs of other dogs with medical needs. Granite will need to take it easy over the next few months while he undergoes treatment. If this handsome guy sounds like a good match for your family, ask to meet him today!
Belle
ADOPTED 05/08/2024!
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?
Marley and her seven incredible Disney puppies (Jasmine, Eric, Phillip, Aladdin, Aurora, Ariel, and Belle) were dumped at a shelter that was over-capacity. Although Marley is an incredible mom who was doing everything to help her babies grow, a crowded shelter environment is not a safe place for any animal, particularly a young family. Recognizing that Marley and her babies needed help and fast, the shelter immediately sent out a plea for help. As puppy season is in full swing, many rescues have been inundated with puppies. This situation has further elevated the importance of spaying and neutering pets as the number of homeless animals is simply unsustainable. Rescues want to help; however, many groups are just as overwhelmed as the shelters. Fortunately, MAGSR's incredible team came together to help Marley and her pups move forward in the safety of the rescue family.
The Disney puppies and their phenomenal mother, Marley, have been living with one of our amazing foster families. Surrounded by loving and caring people, each member of the family has had all that they needed and more. These babies have had endless opportunities to learn, grow, and explore. This socialization is essential to their success. As the Disney puppies move forward, their families will need to continue to socialize them with varied people, animals, and in different environments. This will help all of the babies develop into stable and confident adults. Although they are being raised together, each of these babies has unique qualities. Belle is definitely the Belle of the ball. She greatly enjoys socializing with all of her brothers and sisters. However, after a good party, she is beyond content to settle in for a good cuddle. Although Belle is a doll, 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, patience and routine, we know that Belle will develop into a good canine citizen. If your household is ready to welcome this little love into your home, please ask to meet her today!
Parsley
ADOPTED 05/05/2024!
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?
As is the story of so many homeless animals right now, Parsley was picked up as a stray and brought to a shelter that is sitting at critical levels. Unfortunately, no one stepped forward to bring this lovely, young pup home. Unable to sustain such high numbers, shelters are euthanizing animals daily. With her stray hold completed and no where to go, Parsley was moved to the euthanasia room. She was incredibly lucky when another rescue stepped in at the last minute to save her life. Although they knew they would need to find a breed specific rescue for Parsley, this girl was too special to leave behind. When asked if we could transfer Parsley into our care, we knew the MAGSR family was the right match for this girl.
Parsley is young, sweet, energetic, and intelligent. She was clearly well-socialized with people and seems to enjoy the company of other dogs. Having gone through several changes in the last week, Parsley has remained sweet and affectionate, but has shown us that change can be a little unsettling for the lovely lady. She is looking for a family that will give her time to decompress and learn the ropes in her forever home. As is true of all shepherds, Parsley will flourish with structure, routine, and leadership. With these pieces in place, we cannot wait to see Parsley thrive. Already a fan of playtime and adventures, Parsley is hoping that her forever family has plenty of toys and are ready to be entertained for hours with her antics. Training will go a long way with Parsley. Not only will training help Parsley create a strong and healthy connection with her family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. If Parsley sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet this stunning girl today!
