Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Vibrant Valkyrie was sitting at an overcrowded animal shelter waiting for someone to come and claim her. Although she waited, no one stepped forward for this lovely lady. As shelters are simply unable to keep up with the number of animals in need, unclaimed animals often struggle to make it out alive. Valkyrie's time was running short. Fortunately, another group stepped forward and welcomed Valkyrie into their care. She was very lucky to find someone that would help her move forward as well as help address her medical needs. Valkyrie was heartworm positive upon her arrival with the other rescue. However, they ensured she had everything she needed and walked her through treatment. Having completed treatment months ago, but without adoption interest, MAGSR was asked to welcome Valkyrie into our care so that she might meet with better success with a breed specific rescue. Valkyrie had been waiting for over a year for this chance. When we learned she needed placement, we knew she would be a great match for the MAGSR family. 

Valkyrie is an active, intelligent, and social girl. Having been well socialized with people somewhere along her journey, Valkyrie connects with people quickly. She loves a good hug and lean in. A huge fan of the outdoors, Valkyrie is greatly enjoying the fall weather and is happy to be out and about with her person. Although we do not know anything about Valkyrie's past, we do know that she has a bright future. As is true of all shepherds, Valkyrie will thrive when provided with structure, routine, and leadership. She is looking for a household that will provide her with clear expectations and boundaries as well as patience as she adjusts to her forever family. Training will go a long way with Valkyrie. Not only will this help her build a strong, healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Valkyrie has been waiting for a family of her very own for far too long. If this lovely girl sounds like a match for your family, ask to meet her today!

The Vampire Litter - Giles, Oz, and Willow - found themselves alone and in need of help. Without a mommy in sight, they were lucky to find a good Samaritan who made sure these delightful little babies made their way to the safety of a rescue. Under the care of an experienced puppy foster, the babies began getting everything they needed to meet with success. With full bellies, vaccines started, and plenty of socialization, these babies were thriving. Although their foster family adored these babies, it was clear that they would be most successful if placed within a breed specific rescue. When our team was contacted about Vampire litter, we knew that we could help them move forward safely. So, we immediately welcomed the babies to the family.

All three puppies are beyond adorable. They are playful, interactive, and filled with endless joy. Although their foster families are continuing to provide these babies with socialization with people and other animals, it is critical that their forever families continue this process. This will help all three pups develop into stable adult dogs. Willow and her siblings are cute as can be; however, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, training, and socialization, Willow will develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. If your family is looking for a delightful little lady full of snuggles, look no further than Willow!

Precious Poseidon is one of the lucky dogs who has lived in an incredible household where he has been cherished. Although his family adored this big, handsome guy, when circumstances changed, his family began searching for rescue placement so that Poseidon could move forward safely with an amazing family that would love him. Surrendering a member of the family is never an easy decision. It is not a choice that any family comes to lightly; however, Poseidon's family knew that it was in his best interest to say goodbye. We promised that we would do everything we could to ensure that Poseidon found an incredible match. 

Intelligent, social, and clearly a stunning guy, Poseidon (Psy) embodies many of your typical GSD traits. Curious about his environment while also very aware of his surroundings, Psy, like most shepherds, doesn't miss a beat. He is capable, engaging, and protective when he needs to be. An active guy, Psy greatly enjoys getting out and about on a daily basis. True of most shepherds, Psy does best when both his body and his mind are exercised on a daily basis. This helps him maintain stability. Having always lived in a pack, Psy is looking for a home that has another dog. He thrives in this environment and is not successful without canine companions. However, as is true of all new furry family members, Psy will need time to build solid and lasting relationships with his new pack members. Time, patience, training, and opportunities to meet with success will help him adjust to his forever family. Psy already knows many of the ins and outs of living in a household. He is housebroken and crate trained, but does prefer a stronger crate for safety. With routine, structure, and leadership, Psy thrives in the household. True of all new dogs, Psy will need to participate in training. Not only will training help Psy build a healthy and lasting bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. With a few commands already in place, this guy is ready to continue learning. 

Poseidon is an amazing guy who is looking for an active family who will ensure he has plenty of toys, daily opportunities to exercise, and endless love. If Poseidon sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this handsome guy today!

Beautiful Bailey was adored by her family. They knew she was a special girl and ensured that she had endless love, attention, and plenty of toys. However, when an unexpected event took place, they were unable to keep Bailey and provide her with the life they knew she deserved. Recognizing that we would provide Bailey with everything she needed to meet with success, her family made the heartbreaking decision to return her to the MAGSR. Knowing this was a very difficult decision, we promised we would find Bailey the perfect forever family. 

Bailey is an active, intelligent, and playful girl. She loves her people fiercely and gives them every ounce of affection she has. With some very strong GSD traits, Bailey is loyal, protective, and on point. She tends to notice everything around her and keeps an eye on her people at all times.  As a girl with a high prey drive, smaller creatures can be a little too enticing for Bailey. She finds joy in chasing small creatures, such as rabbits and squirrels, and will need to be monitored closely if they are out and about with her. Fond of the outdoors, Bailey is always up for a long walk, hike, or adventure. She takes cues well from the handler and knows many commands. Lucky to have lived in a loving household for a few years, Bailey has developed a solid understanding of and appreciation for toys; she is hoping her forever family enjoys them too! She loves to play ball and can't help but enjoy a good squeaky toy. With a few years of experience living in a home, Bailey has also developed an affinity for a soft bed. She loves cuddling up on her dog bed and doesn't mind having a dog bed or two in the house just to change up viewpoints throughout the day. Although Bailey is crate trained and housebroken, once settled, she prefers to be out and about. This seems to keep her more settled throughout the day. As is true of all shepherds Bailey will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. Providing clear boundaries and expectations will help Bailey meet with success. Bailey has already completed some basic training; however, she is always up for more! Continued training is essential to Bailey's success. Not only will it help her develop her canine citizenship skills, but it will also help her develop a strong and healthy bond with her forever family. 

If your family is looking for an active girl who will fill your days with doggy smiles, squeaky toys, and plenty of exercise, Bailey is your girl. 

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?
