Adopted MAGSR Dogs

'Dashing Deacon’ was found prancing along the streets as a stray. Deacon is a devilishly handsome (possible SuperModel status) fella who is a two-and-a-half-year-old stunner of a long-haired black and red GSD looking for his ‘fur-ever’ family. Over time we have had the chance to get to know Deacon. With this knowledge has come a strong understanding of just how clever this boy is (and how much of a natural leader he is!). As a result, Deacon will only be placed with an experienced and assertive handler to help him become a strong, confident, and obedient companion. This striking boy has a strong personality and appreciates clear guidance from his people. Though he can be willful when he knows what he wants, Deacon is ready to channel his charm into becoming a model canine citizen. Already equipped with a solid training foundation, Deacon is looking for someone who will continue that training to build a confident and healthy bond. In fact, Deacon already knows his basic commands and then some. He can't wait to continue this process and may even be a good match for agility, fly ball, or scent work.

As a young, active shepherd, Deacon is looking for a family that can exercise his body and his mind on a daily basis. True of all shepherds, pent up energy can result in unwanted behaviors. He is the epitome of the saying - "A tired dog is a good dog." Excited to match with a family that will provide daily opportunities to run, play, and train, Deacon will thrive with a routine that provides mental enrichment. Well versed with a variety of toys, this majestic fluffball absolutely loves soccer balls, lacrosse balls, squeaky balls, textured balls, really any ball he can chase and chew on! He also loves bones.. but sometimes he needs an extra reminder or two when asked to give them back! Deacon loves playing tug of war with his toys, wrestling with his humans, and he even does great at doggy day care. However, as is true of all dogs, it is important that Deacon develop relationships with other dogs in controlled settings over a period of time. 

From time to time, Deacon is surprised by sudden movements and sounds; this often results in anxiety. With a clear understanding of Deacon's energy level and needs, his ideal match will not live in a city or busy neighborhood. A calmer, less hectic environment is key to Deacon's success. He prefers this type of environment to feel safe and secure. While the city-slickin' life may not be for him, we know he has the ability to thrive in a quieter, more spacious environment. While Deacon may have a few special requirements in our book, that is because he is a special guy just waiting for the right family to pick him up and take him to his FUREVER home! This boy has the biggest heart, and at the end of each day, he promises you snuggles and love. He even loves trying to be a lap dog! Does Deacon sound like the right fit for your home? If so, ask to meet him today!

Regal Rayne clearly once lived in a home with a loving family and was a beloved pet. However, his life changed drastically when he landed himself in a shelter for reasons unknown. Rayne was lucky to be pulled by a wonderful all-breed rescue and spent the last year with them searching for a family and sadly they just didn't find a good match for this special GSD. The all-breed rescue decided to reach out to MAGSR, a breed specific rescue, in hopes we could offer him a better shot of landing a home with a family of his very own. 

Rayne recently joined the MAGSR family and has begun his search for a forever family.  As is true of all GSDs, Rayne is looking for a home that will provide him with structure, routine and consistency. This will help him decompress and build a strong and stable relationship with his forever family. Rayne will benefit from continued socialization in a structured manner along with a family that will keep up with the training program he has been through with one of MAGSR's training partners. As with any typical German Shepherd, Rayne will be a loyal protector and take his job very seriously. Rayne would do best with a family that has breed experience and needs to be the one and only pet in the home. He prefers to be the apple of his family's eye. 

Rayne is cuddly and sweet and would be an amazing companion. He loves to cuddle in with his people and would love to share that pizza crust with you. If you would love to spend your time with a regal guy that is seasoned and just gets better with age and wouldn't mind sharing some pizza crust, reach out to MAGSR today. 

The Nemo Litter was born under a trailer about ten weeks ago. Fortunately, they were noticed by community members and were monitored carefully. As their mom wasn't comfortable with people, steps were being taken to try to help the entire family, but moving forward required time and patience. Unfortunately, soon after the Nemo babies began crawling around, mom spooked, left, and didn’t return. Recognizing the nine babies in the Nemo litter (Coral, Bubbles, Crush, Dory, Marlin, Nemo, Nigel, Squirt, and Pearl) needed help, community members stepped up to ensure they were cared for and loved. As they got older, the rescue sponsoring them began looking for a breed specific rescue to welcome the Nemo litter and find them all amazing forever families. MAGSR stepped forward to welcome the entire litter into our care. 

Our team was preparing to move the babies into foster homes when it was noticed that something was not right with several members of the litter. They had suddenly become weak, were struggling to keep food down, began experiencing gastrointestinal issues, and clearly needed help. Our team immediately rushed the babies to the emergency room. Tests were administered and it was determined that the Nemo litter was positive for parvo. Parvo is a highly contagious virus; it is particularly challenging for puppies to survive. One of our amazing vetting partners stepped into action and began working with the Nemo litter to keep them hydrated, control their GI upset, and prevent secondary infections, while also keeping them monitored and loved. Parvo care is very expensive. But, we knew these little lives were special and deserved every chance to fight this diagnosis. We have been incredibly lucky to have so many people step forward to support these babies. This has given us the opportunity to provide critical care; however, donations are still needed. Please consider donating to the Nemo litter so that we can continue to welcome dogs with medical needs. 

Although MAGSR fought hard to save the lives of all nine puppies, two members of this litter, Bubbles and Pearl, lost their fight and crossed the rainbow bridge the weekend they arrived. Their siblings have mourned this loss while comforted by our amazing MAGSR volunteers. Although Pearl and Bubbles have left lasting memories that will always be part of this litter's story, the Nemo litter is taking significant steps so that they can continue to move forward. As they heal under the watchful eyes of their foster families, these babies are hoping that forever families are waiting in the wings for them. Once symptoms have ended and ten days have passed, the Nemo puppies will be ready to join their forever families. Crush is waiting patiently for that special day when his family welcomes him into their home and gives him a last name. If your family is ready to welcome this special little guy into your home, ask to set up a meeting with Crush today!

Happy-go-lucky Casper was picked up as a stray in a very busy city in the south. Brought to a shelter that is significantly over capacity with a daily intake of 30 to 40 dogs a day, little Casper's time was very limited. Although staff members adored this little guy, as soon as his stray hold was lifted, Casper was placed on the list to be euthanized. With such an overwhelming number of dogs arriving daily, it seemed that Casper may not make it out alive. Luckily, the right people learned about Casper's situation and began mobilizing to help him move forward safely. With MAGSR as his final destination, Casper began moving forward. 

Casper represents his name rather well. A friendly, goofy, playful little guy, this boy is filled with happiness. Having moved about a bit over the last month, this guy has done very well with the transitions. However, he is hoping to settle down with a forever family soon. Still a baby in many ways, Casper is in the process of learning the ins and outs of becoming a good canine citizen. He is beginning to learn basic leash manners and expectations. Training will go a long way with this little honey. Not only will training help Casper bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Without any information about his past, we do not know if Casper has had any experience in a home. When staying with one of our incredible foster families, we learned that Casper definitely enjoys living in a home and quickly discovers that the treat cabinet is the most important cabinet in the house. He is already adjusting well when provided with structure, routine, and leadership. Eager to learn and ready for an adventure, Casper is looking for an active family that will teach him the joys of living with a loving family. If this sweetheart sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet Casper today!
