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. Giles and his 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, Giles will develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. If your family is looking for a handsome little ball of sunshine, look no further than Giles!

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?
