Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Sweet Clarice was found hungry, hurt, and alone in a busy metropolitan area. Recognizing that she needed help and fast, her finder contacted the local shelter and had her moved inside. Shelter staff immediately fell in love with this girl. She was friendly and affectionate even though she was clearly in pain. While she waited for a family to come and claim her, medical support began in order to help Clarice move forward. Unfortunately, when no one came, Clarice found herself on the euthanasia list. Shelters everywhere are experiencing overwhelming numbers which has increased euthanasia rates across the country. Knowing that Clarice deserved a loving family that would treasure her for a lifetime, shelter staff put out a plea for help. MAGSR heard that Clarice was out of options and stepped forward to help this special girl.

Clarice is beautiful, playful, and affectionate. Having clearly been well socialized with people of all ages as well as other dogs, it is obvious that someone along her journey provided her with opportunities to develop into a stable adult dog. Although we do not know much about her past life, we do know that Clarice does understand some of the ins and outs of living in a household. However, as is true of any new dog, Clarice will benefit from structure, routine, and leadership. This will help her adjust to the rules and routines of the household. Clarice has already begun to learn some commands with her foster family. She is clearly intelligent. As Clarice continues to move forward, it is imperative that her forever family continue with training. Training will not only help Clarice develop a strong bond with her family, but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. Clarice is looking for an amazing family who will love her for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for you, ask to meet Clarice today!

Lovely little Ellen was picked up as a stray and brought to a local shelter. Although it was clear that this girl was socialized with people, no one came to claim her. Recognizing that shepherds are most successful when placed through a breed specific rescue, the shelter sent out a rescue plea with the hopes that the little lady would find placement. When MAGSR heard that Ellen needed a soft place to land, our team began putting plans in place to help her move forward. 

Ellen is a friendly and affectionate girl. It is obvious that she was well socialized with new people. She approaches with tail wags and kisses. Clearly accustomed to toys, Ellen is a fan of the ball but is still working on returning it to her handler. Although playful and interactive, it is clear that Ellen has not had a lot of training. She knows sit and seems to know down. However, she is still learning many of the basics. Training will go a long way with this girl. Not only will training help her develop a strong, healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop into a stable and confident adult shepherd. As is true of all shepherds, Ellen will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. Clear expectations and opportunities to meet with success will help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. As Ellen is in many ways still a pup, it is important that her family exercise both her body and her mind on a daily basis. Lovely little Ellen is looking for an active forever family that will provide her with a lifetime of love. Could that be with you?

Lovely Miss Annabelle was adopted out as a puppy. Her family adored her and did everything they could to help her meet with success. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond their control, they could no longer provide Annabelle with the life they knew she deserved. As a result, they made the difficult decision to surrender her back to the MAGSR family. We promised Annabelle's family that we would find her an incredible forever family. 

Annabelle is a stunning girl. Her eye-catching colors and look easily attract people to her. Having been socialized both inside and outside of the house, Annabelle does well when meeting new people. However, as is characteristic of the breed, she often needs a moment to initiate new interactions. Annabelle is looking for a forever family that will continue to socialize her with new people and in new environments in a controlled manner. This will help her continue to build confidence. As a young shepherd, Annabelle is hoping to find an active family that will exercise both her body and her mind on a daily basis. Already a big fan of toys and balls, Annabelle loves play time. She hopes her forever family has plenty of toys to keep her occupied. Although Annabelle already knows a few commands, it is important that she participate in training with her new family. Training will not only help Annabelle develop a strong, healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her develop into a stable and confident adult dog. If this stunning girl sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

Joyful Cooper has been moved about a few times in his young life. However, he was lucky that the right people stepped in and recognized that a young, social guy like him would thrive in a household that had the time and energy to work with him. So, they brought Cooper to a local shelter where staff members fell in love with this interactive guy. Although Cooper easily won over the hearts of the shelter team, they recognized that he would be most successful if he found placement through a rescue. When we heard about Cooper's need for placement, we immediately welcomed him to the MAGSR family. 

Cooper is an interactive and social boy. He clearly has had the opportunity to interact with others throughout his puppyhood. Although Cooper definitely has a great start, continued socialization is imperative to his success as an adult. Typical of most young GSDs, Cooper has a lot of energy. It will be essential that Cooper's family exercise his body and his mind on a daily basis. This will help him maintain a stable and confident mindset. Although Cooper is still very young, he has already begun to learn some basic commands. His intelligence, willingness to please, and his food motivation makes him a great student. Cooper will excel in training class. Training will not only help Cooper develop a strong and healthy bond with his family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen that we know that he is destined to be. Cooper is looking for a loving and active household who will love him for a lifetime. Could this be with you?

‘Social Stryker” is just strutn’ his stuff as a happy, 9 month old GSD mix! This young fella was an owner-surrender to the shelter because his previous owners didn’t understand the puppy energy of a seriously happy, GSD mix. Since he is absolutely full of life, happy to meet people, ‘Social Stryer’ has put in an application to be the ambassador of the GSD-mix at a store (probably Walmart) near you! As with any eager, happy go-lucky puppy, he’s unaware of his surroundings and his jovial demeanor can sometimes be overwhelming if not properly contained and trained.  

‘Social Stryer’ is eager to find the right FUR-ever family, and would really thrive in an environment where he is provided the basic necessities of a growing puppy -  training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance.  

If ‘Social Stryer’ sounds like the happy hours, days and weeks you would like to emBARK upon, please ask to add her to your family today!
