Beautiful Nala is the mother of the Fall puppies - Autumn, Cider, Ember, Maple, Pumpkin, and Sweet Potato (Tator) - and the mate to Simba. Having had an accidental litter last year, their family recognized that it is very difficult to properly train, care for, and provide adequate stimulation for a large number of dogs. Recognizing that this special furry family would be most successful if placed within a breed specific rescue, their family contacted MAGSR. Last fall, dad (Simba) and the Fall puppies were all surrendered to MAGSR. Although we offered to welcome mom (Nala) when the remainder of the furry family was surrendered, Nala's owners wanted to keep her. Unfortunately, circumstances changed almost a year later and Nala needed immediate placement. With a no family left behind policy, our team did not think twice when asked to welcome Nala. With the last member of this family in our care, we will continue our mission to find safe and loving forever homes for every member of the family.

Nala moved into the rescue a few weeks ago. Although she was loved by her family, she was not given many opportunities to socialize outside of her family (both human and canine). She had lived on her family's property throughout her life and did not take many trips out and about. As a result, she is a little overwhelmed by all of the changes happening right now. Our team has been working with Nala to provide her with socialization in controlled settings, with new people, and animals. We are also beginning to teach basic manners and training. Training, as is true with all dogs, is key to Nala's success. It is critical that her forever family continue Nala's socialization and get into a solid training program. Not only will this help Nala develop a healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the confidence and stability needed to become a good canine citizen. Nala is an intelligent and active girl, who is looking for a family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that family be you? 

Emmie and her seven adorable babies (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, Cal, Murray, and Bebe) were dumped at an overcrowded shelter in the south. Although Emmie knew that her future was uncertain, she also knew that the 7 little ones (Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, Cal, Murray, and Bebe) that she brought with her were also in danger. As puppy season is in full swing, many furry families of all sizes are finding themselves in tough situations where, unfortunately, many animals do not make it out alive. Fortunately, for this special family, shelter staff began working with a network of rescues to find options, a loving foster family, and the medical support needed to move forward. MAGSR was lucky to have so many people pulling together to help this family move forward into our care. We are honored to move them forward. 

Emmie and her pups have been lucky to have lived in a loving foster family. This gave them all the opportunity to learn some of the ins and outs of living in a home. All of the babies did an incredible job with their foster family and have since moved onto foster homes where they are getting additional love and attention in smaller groups. Meenie is a sweet and snuggly girl who loves other dogs of all sizes and thinks that cats could be pretty cool too, if only they'd play with her. Meenie loves her chew toys and is slowly catching on to the joys of fetch. Meenie is an intelligent observer pup - she's bold enough to approach a stranger or new animal and smart enough to take their cues regarding how to proceed. Meenie is already well on her way to being crate trained and housebroken with only an occasional accident in the home. Like any puppy, she thrives when supported by clear boundaries, patience, and a mountain of love and chew toys. This is so helpful when learning the routines of her home. Having already begun socializing with new people, animals, and in new environments, Meenie is already building a solid foundation. It is imperative that her family continue this process as she moves forward. With the right set-up, we know this little darling will be impressive. Although Meenie is special, 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, patience, and training, Meenie will become a stable and confident adult. Meenie is looking for a forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime.
