Poseidon
ADOPTED 04/06/2025!
Good With Kids: Older Kids Only
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
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!
Willow
ADOPTED 04/06/2025!
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 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!
Updates:Wonderful Willow has been enjoying life living in a pack. She has adjusted to both the human and furry members of her household incredibly well and is adored by her foster family. A social and stable pup, Willow loves interacting with kids and adults in the neighborhood. She greets everyone with tail wags, playbows, and plenty of puppy smiles. This little lady sure does know how to bring joy to everyone around.
With routine and consistency, Willow is doing very well with housebreaking. She cues when she needs to go outside and takes care of her business quickly. Crate training has also gone very well. Willow keeps her crate dry throughout the night and even waits until her foster family is moving around in the morning before she cues to go outside. Such an impressive baby, Willow seems to pick up new expectations without difficulty. It helps that she loves treats, toys, and praise. An intelligent girl with a moderate level of energy, Willow is a nice combination of puppy energy and snuggles. She is always ready for the next adventure, but will need a good nap afterwards.
Willow is looking for a forever family that will maintain her confidence through continued socialization and training. This will help her develop the skills needed to develop into a good canine citizen. If your household is looking for a playful, intelligent, and adorable girl, look no further than Willow!
Bailey
ADOPTED 03/25/2025!
Good With Kids: Older Kids Only
I've been adopted, thanks to MAGSR but so many more dogs need their help. Will you help them by donating or volunteering?
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.
Updates:I am a 5 yr old girl with a lot of spunk. I get real excited when it's time to go out. I like people, but I'm reactive to other dogs. I am good with my commands, I am crate trained, I like laying at my human's feet in the evenings. When my people leave, I get all upset, I seem to do better when left out of my crate. I have a good appetite and take treats gently, and I'm good on walks. I feel like Super Girl, can jump a 5 ft door at the kennel. I like to play with stuffed toys, I'm not a big fan of balls. I like to play in the pool at the kennel. If I sound like the dog for you, I'm looking for my forever home.
Bailey, like most dogs, has her pros and cons with her personality. The good things about her - she's very friendly with people, and she bonds very closely to her people. She is very well trained. In the evenings I bring her in from her final walk and make her sit, then I say "okay" and she runs for her doggy bed next to the couch where I sit to watch TV, and she lays there until it's time to go to bed. She is crate trained and does good in the crate except when you leave. She loves to go for car rides, and loves her stuffed toys, especially ones with squeakers. She will play with balls that squeak sometimes, but she likes stuffed toys better. She has some toys, a doggy bed, and a secure crate that go with her. Bailey is not a fan of thunderstorms, fireworks and small dogs. It seems if you have her next to you during storms, she does much better, and is not as skittish. She prefers to be the only dog in the house. You have to be on guard with her around open doors. She does have separation anxiety and would rather spend time with her humans. If Bailey sounds like the pup for you, she’s ready to go!

Chapo
ADOPTED 03/22/2025!
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?
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?
Updates:Chapo has been a very welcome pleasure in his foster home! He's a friendly, playful pup who gets along well with his foster home's three resident dogs, that are large and small. Chapo is crate-trained and housebroken; he even walks well on a leash. He's not food aggressive and is learning commands quickly. He enjoys napping and relaxing with the foster family while they watch TV. Overall, Chapo is a sweet boy who thrives with daily mental and physical stimulation. He would do great in a home that can provide him with playtime, enrichment, and love!
