Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Siber was originally part of the Molly's Hogwarts litter a couple years ago. These babies and their mommy, Molly, were confiscated from a cruelty and neglect situation. Fortunately, MAGSR was able to place the family in foster homes so that they could find incredible families that would love them for a lifetime. Siber was adopted as a puppy and has lived with a family for the past two years. Recognizing the importance of providing him with rules and boundaries, Siber's family made sure that he learned the ins and outs of living in a household and gave him opportunities to meet with success through training. Although they adopted Siber with the intent to provide him with a forever family, sometimes things do not work out the way we planned. When Siber's family could no longer provide him with the daily routines, exercise, and care he needed to meet with success, they contacted MAGSR knowing we would find him an incredible home. 

Siber is a stunning guy. Tall, lanky, and intelligent, this boy has typical young GSD energy and is not a couch potato. With high ball drive and a love for playing fetch, Siber is looking for a forever family that is happy to keep their throwing arm in good shape. As an active guy, Siber will need a family that will exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. This will help him develop the stability and confidence all GSDs need to meet with success. Having recently moved out of what he considered his forever home, Siber is currently a little lost. Our volunteers are working with him to help him move forward. He does best when given some time and patience to adjust to new people and situations. Continued socialization in controlled settings with new people and new environments is key to his success. Siber is looking for a forever home that will provide him with structure, routine, patience, and leadership that all GSDs need. He is hoping that an experienced GSD household will provide him with the tools needed for success. Food and toy motivated, Siber knows his perfect family is just waiting to meet him. Could Siber be the match for you?

Stunning Nola was born in a breeding operation. Having learned about her situation, a good samaritan stepped forward and rescued Nola and two of her brothers promising to find them safe and loving forever homes. Although the boys found safe homes in which to move forward, sweet Nola struggled to find placement. Knowing that Nola would likely be more successful if placed within a breed specific rescue, her caregiver reached out to MAGSR for help. Fortunately, one of our incredible foster families stepped forward to support Nola enabling us to welcome this little bundle of joy into the family. 

Nola is playful, affectionate, and social. With a joyful personality, Nola has been bringing daily smiles to her foster family. With regular opportunities to socialize with other dogs and people, Nola has filled her foster home with giggles and endless happiness. Living with an experienced household, this lovely little lady has begun to learn the ins and outs of living in a household. She understands the importance of structure, routine, and an endless pile of toys. As is true of all dogs, training will go a long way with Nola as it will help her develop the confidence and stability needed to become a good canine citizen. Although this little lady is beyond adorable, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with puppy antics. With time, patience, and socialization, we know Nola will develop into an incredible adult. If your family is looking for a goofball that will fill your days with giggles and nights with snuggles, look no further than Nola.

The St. Pat's Litter - Guiness, Seamus, and Gem - was born to a less than reputable breeder at the beginning of the year. Interested in selling the babies for money and not interested in seeing anything more than a paycheck, many backyard breeders and puppy mill owners feel that once puppies have reached twelve weeks, they are no longer of worth. As the puppies lose their worth in the eyes of their owners, many are inhumanly killed without a second thought. The St. Pat's litter was in the same situation as so many babies that have lost their lives due to greedy and inhumane practices. They had reached twelve weeks and the decision was made to end their lives with a shotgun. As luck would have it a good samaritan found out about the St. Pat's litter and knew she had to try to save them. Recognizing they had hours to live, she worked with the owner to have all three babies surrendered to MAGSR. 

Seamus and his siblings - Guiness and Gem - are beyond adorable. Although they grew up in less than ideal circumstances, these babies are sweet and social. With MAGSR's support they have moved into incredible foster families that have been showing them what true love looks and feels like. With daily opportunities to socialize with people and other animals, these babies have begun to receive the care and attention that they have deserved since they were born. Learning the ins and outs of living in a home, these babies have begun housebreaking and crate training. They are also learning the joy of endless toys, a comfortable bed, and nice full bellies. It is important that their forever families continue to provide them with opportunities to learn, socialize, and develop the skills needed to develop into stable adult dogs. Although Seamus and his siblings are impressive babies, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience, and leadership, we know that the St. Pat's litter will grow into amazing canine citizens. If adorable Seamus sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this baby today!

Tate was purchased as a puppy and brought home into a loving family. He was happily surrounded by women and did very well with all of them. Unfortunately, when circumstances changed, it became clear that Tate would need to be rehomed. This is never an easy decision. However, Tate's family knew it was in his best interest. So, they surrendered him to MAGSR asking us to find their handsome boy a phenomenal forever family. 

Tate is a big, active, intelligent guy. Having said goodbye to his family and his home, he is a little rattled by the recent changes in his world. He knows he's a good boy, but he doesn't understand why things have changed or if he did something wrong. Our volunteers have been working with Tate to help him adjust to his new circumstances. Like many new dogs in the rescue, Tate will need time, patience, and structure as he adjusts to his new surroundings. He gravitates towards handlers that provide clear rules and expectations. This is helpful as Tate enjoys consistency. Although he arrived with some commands already in place, continued training will help him meet with success. Not only will training help Tate develop a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, it will also help him build the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Tate has had the benefit of living in a home. He understands many of the ins and outs of being an inside dog. Housebroken and crate trained, this guy is past the basics. However, as is true of all new dogs, he will need time to learn the expectations and routines of his forever family. Tate is looking for a forever family that has plenty of toys, enjoys daily exercise, and will love him for a lifetime. If Tate sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet this handsome guy today!

Stunning Smokey was picked up as a stray in the south. This adorable guy was simply too sweet for words. Shelter staff assumed someone would be looking for him. However, when no one stepped forward to claim him, Smokey was in need of support and fast. Shelters continue to drown in overwhelming numbers of animals in need. They simply cannot keep up with daily intake demands. With so many animals coming in, but very few leaving with forever families, many animals are being euthanized for space. Shelter staff knew Smokey deserved an incredible family that would cherish him. However, without adoption resources they worried he would not make it out alive. A rescue plea was sent out with the hope that an organization would step forward and pull Smokey before it was too late. When we learned that Smokey needed placement, our team began putting things in place to welcome this boy to MAGSR. 

As a young, intelligent boy, Smokey is very much still a baby. He is goofy, playful, and affectionate. Although we do not know anything about his past, we do know that this guy was socialized with other animals and people. He seems to already understand many of the ins and outs of social situations. However, as is critical with all dogs, Smokey will need continued socialization to meet with success. Opportunities to learn about new people and new environments will help him develop into a healthy and stable adult. Training will also go a long way with this boy. Not only will training help Smokey develop a healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him build the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Smokey is lucky to have been placed with one of our incredible foster families. He is settling into the household so that he can begin to learn the ins and outs of the home. We are sure he will happily adjust to the routines and structure of the home and won't have any problem snuggling on a cozy dog bed. 

Unfortunately, we have learned that Smokey is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided with monthly prevention. Fortunately, our team has already begun Smokey's treatment. He will need to take it easy over the next few months while he heals. Heartworm treatment is expensive, but Smokey is definitely worth the cost. Please consider donating to Smokey's care. Your donation will not only help us meet Smokey's needs, but it will also help us continue to support dogs with medical needs. This sweet guy is looking for an incredible forever family that will cherish him for a lifetime, could that family be with you?
