Adopted MAGSR Dogs

King and Duchess were adored by their mom. She did everything for them including making the decision to surrender them to rescue when she knew she couldn't continue to care for them. Recognizing that this decision and final goodbye was beyond heartbreaking, we promised to keep this pair together. King and Duchess have settled into one of our experienced senior foster homes and are getting all of the love and care they need to continue to move forward. 

These dogs definitely have a special bond. King is the lover, he leans in for attention and has no problem being pet for hours on end. Although definitely a cuddler, King also enjoys playing ball and squeaking toys. He notices when anything is close to the house and alerts like all good shepherds do. Duchess is the life of the party. She is active, inquisitive, and always on point. She also enjoys some good head scratches but only for short periods of time before she is off on another exploration. Together they compliment each other very nicely. Although socialized with other large dogs, Duchess and King do best when given some time to adjust to other big dogs. Once comfortable, they like to be with the pack. Although they have had some exposure to small dogs and smaller animals, these two have too much prey drive for smaller creatures and would be happiest in a home without little furry friends. Comfortable with people, Duchess and King like making new friends; however, Duchess can take some time to warm up particularly to men. Given time and patience, they are loyal and beyond loveable companions. 

As happens when we age, Duchess and King are experiencing some medical issues primarily associated with the aging process. They are both arthritic. However, with joint supplements, anti-inflammatories, and monthly osteoarthritis injections, King and Duchess are comfortable and happy to participate in daily activities. They are enjoying some extra attention from our vetting team as we get their systems adjusted to some routine care and address some physical and dental needs. As is expected, senior care can be a bit more expensive. Please consider donating to this special pair as we continue to provide them with the support they need to enjoy every day to the fullest. Duchess and King are looking for a forever home that will provide them with endless snuggles, plenty of toys, and a lifetime of love. If they sound like the right match for your household, ask to meet them today. 

The Fall puppies - Autumn, Cider, Ember, Maple, Pumpkin, and Sweet Potato (Tator) - were an accidental litter. Raised together with their parents, these dogs have had the chance to learn many doggy social skills. Although their human family enjoyed the puppies, it can be difficult to care for a large litter and challenging to find safe and loving homes. Recognizing that the Fall puppies would be most successful if placed within a breed specific rescue, their family contacted MAGSR. We promised that we would find each pup a safe and loving forever family that would cherish these babies for a lifetime. 

The Fall puppies are very large babies for their age. They are clearly big fans of food. Having spent time outside, these babies love the sights, sounds, and smells of the outdoors. So, they are hoping their forever families love adventures. Although these babies have been socialized well with their doggy family, they have not been exposed to many new people or situations. Socialization is critical to their success. Recognizing that social skills are essential as the Fall puppies move forward, our amazing volunteers are already beginning this process. Learning the ins and outs of living in a household, these babies are learning the joys of endless toys, comfortable beds, and loads of love. As they continue to move forward, all six babies will strive in households that will provide the structure, routine, and leadership that all shepherds crave. 

Although these babies are absolutely adorable, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless antics. With time, training, and patience, all 6 babies - Autumn, Cider, Ember, Maple, Pumpkin, and Sweet Potato - will develop into good canine citizens. If one of the Fall puppies sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet these fluffy bundles of joy today!

Playful little Ranger was picked up as a stray in the south. He was brought to a local shelter where he waited for his family to come and claim him. Although he waited patiently, no one stepped forward for this handsome guy. Recognizing that he would need a hero to make it out of overcrowding conditions alive, a local group began sending out pleas for rescue help. When team MAGSR heard that Ranger needed a hero to step forward, our team began putting plans in place to welcome him into the family.

Ranger arrived in typical puppy style. He is playful, interactive, and full of puppy antics. As is true to all puppies, stability, routine, leadership, and plenty of patience will help Ranger build the skills needed to become a stable adult dog. Fortunately, Ranger has moved in with one of our amazing foster families who is helping him move forward. Emaciated and lacking some muscle mass, Ranger is now getting the extra help he needs to heal. We cannot wait to see his progress. As Ranger continues to move forward, his forever family will need to continue to socialize him with other people and animals. Socialization is critical to his success. Training is also essential. Not only will training help Ranger bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop into a stable and confident adult. 

Although Ranger is cute as a button, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will chew, wine, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, training, and patience, Ranger will develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to be. If this boy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today. 

Mama Maxie was surrendered to a local shelter as her family felt they could no longer care for her. Shortly after her arrival, she decided to unveil a not so little secret and gave birth to five adorable babies - Colt, Falcon, Bronco, Saint, and Panther. We are lovingly calling them the football puppies. Recognizing that raising puppies in a shelter can be very dangerous for the entire family, staff members began reaching out to rescues for help. When we heard about Mama Maxie and her football puppies, our team immediately began putting plans in place to welcome the entire family to MAGSR. 

Over the last several weeks, MAGSR has been fortunate to have a groomer, mobile vet, volunteers, and an amazing foster family working together to ensure that Mama Maxie and her family have everything they need. This has helped them thrive. Now that the babies and Mama Maxie are just about ready to find their forever homes, it is time to share them with the world. Mama Maxie is clearly a special girl. She loves her people and is always ready for some hang time. Intelligent, affectionate, and clearly well socialized, Maxie has brought endless smiles and happiness to her foster family. Although Maxie does enjoy her time out and about and will need daily exercise, she also loves sleeping in the sun spot inside. She is hoping her forever family has some good windows that will let in the sun's rays as well as give her the chance to keep an eye on the world outside. Mama Maxie, just like her babies, will be ready for adoption on 10/14/23. As is true of all shepherds, Maxie will thrive in a household that provides her with the structure, routine, and leadership all GSDs need to meet with success. Training will go a long way with Maxie. Not only will it help her develop a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. 

Mama Maxie is looking for a family that will love and cherish her for a lifetime. If this lovely girl sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!
