Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Kyra and her sister, Basha, were well-loved by their family. However, when a significant change in circumstances altered the family structure, their owner could no longer provide them with the life they deserved. Recognizing that both girls deserved the opportunity to find forever homes that could provide them with everything they needed and more, their family made the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye and surrendered them to MAGSR. 

Kyra is absolutely stunning. As a working-line shepherd, she is smart, energetic, and looking for an experienced handler. True to the breed, Kyra thrives with structure, routine, and leadership. With clear direction from a confident handler, Kyra meets with success. Having lived in a household, Kyra understands many of the rules and expectations of living in a home. She is housebroken and crate trained. However, as is true of any new dog, she will need time to adjust to the routines of her forever family. With some training already in line, Kyra does know many of her basic commands. However, continued training is critical to Kyra's success. This girl is not a couch potato. She will need daily opportunities to exercise her body and her mind in order to maintain a stable and confident mindset. Kyra is looking for an active forever family that will love her for a lifetime, could that family be you?

Gloria was picked up as a stray in the south. Based upon her poor body condition, it was assumed that she had lacked care or been on her own for some time. Although she was clearly in need of help, Gloria proved to have a phenomenal temperament with shelter staff. Due to overcrowding everywhere and an endless number of dogs entering the system every day, shelter staff recognized that Gloria had limited options for moving forward. To provide her with her best chance at finding a forever home, they began networking Gloria with the hopes of finding rescue placement. When we heard that Gloria needed a soft place to land, we immediately began putting plans in place to welcome this lovely girl to the MAGSR family. 

Gloria is an intelligent and curious girl. Although friendly, she prefers to take her time when adjusting to new people and new situations. When working with a calm and confident handler, Gloria thrives. As is true of all GSDs, Gloria is looking for a household that will provide her with the structure, routine, and leadership that will help her meet with success. At this time, we do not yet know if Gloria understands the ins and outs of living in a household. However, we know she is more than ready to try out this next step. The comforts of a quiet home, regular meals, and a comfortable place to sleep will continue to help Gloria on her journey. Not only will Gloria benefit from a loving home, but she will also benefit from training. Training will help Gloria create a strong, healthy bond with her forever family; it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Once pulled from the shelter, our team quickly began to address Gloria's medical needs. Emaciated with severely infected ears, raw skin, missing hair and sores throughout her body, it was clear that Gloria was in constant discomfort and pain. On top of this, she developed an upper respiratory infection that required additional support. As we looked closer at her needs, it was noticed that Gloria's gait seemed off. Once healthy enough to move forward, our incredible vetting team decided to run x-rays and discovered that Gloria is suffering from severe hip dysplasia and arthritis in both hips. We have begun supplements and medications to help her with pain management; however, Gloria will need to meet with an orthopedic specialist to determine next steps for care. Although Gloria's care will be very expensive, we know that this lovely girl is more than worth the cost. MAGSR will cover the entirety of Gloria's treatment. Please consider donating to Gloria's care. Not only will your donation help Gloria receive the medical support she needs to move forward, but it will also help us continue to support medical dogs in need. Please watch for updates on Gloria as she takes her next step toward recovery. 

The Kentucky Six - Diego, Champ, Serena, Peanut, Evie, and Yogi - are cruelty and neglect survivors. Living in inhumane conditions, starved, and used as breeding stock, the Kentucky Six managed to make it off the property alive when the right people heard about their conditions and got the authorities involved. All six dogs were confiscated and brought to a shelter where they waited for the chance to find kind and loving families of their very own. Although shelter staff worked hard to make sure that all six dogs began getting the care and attention they deserved, they recognized that with shelters at capacity and adoptions limited, these six precious souls may not have the chance to find their forever families. They began working with local groups and started networking the dogs in hopes that rescue placement would be found. Fortunately, their message made its way to MAGSR. Our incredible team knew that this group of dogs was very special, so we began putting plans in place to welcome the Kentucky Six to the MAGSR family. 

Although Diego's life was filled with challenges and suffering prior to his confiscation, he remains a sweet and interactive guy. Intelligent and eager to please, Diego has already begun to learn a few commands. He really is an incredible guy. Sometimes we are simply astonished by the resilience of dogs that have been through so much trauma but are still willing to connect with people. As is true of all shepherds, Diego will thrive when provided with structure, routine, and leadership. In many ways he is still in the beginning stages of his new life. He will need time to adjust to new people, environments, and expectations. However, given patience and opportunities to learn, we are sure that Diego will continue to discover the joys of being a beloved member of a family. We do not know if Diego has had much experience living in a household. Clear rules and boundaries will help him settle into his new home. Training will also go a long way for this boy. Not only will training help Diego develop a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him become a good canine citizen. Diego is looking for a forever family that will cherish him for a lifetime. If he sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet Diego today!

Logan and his ten siblings (the Gilmore puppies) found themselves in an overcrowded shelter in the south. The number of dogs needing placement is simply overwhelming shelters across the country. Unfortunately, these babies, like so many other dogs, were in need of help fast. Recognizing that these babies deserved every opportunity to meet with success, staff at the shelter sent out personal rescue pleas attempting to keep this large family alive. When we heard that the Gilmore puppies needed placement, our incredible team began putting together plans to welcome all eleven babies into the rescue. 

The Gilmore puppies are a social, playful, and interactive bunch. They have clearly had opportunities to socialize with people and other animals. However, this process has just begun. It is essential that their forever families continue to provide opportunities to socialize with people and animals in new and safe environments. This will help the Gilmore puppies develop stability and confidence as adult dogs. Training is also critical for these babies as it will not only help them create a healthy bond with their forever families, but it will also help them develop into good canine citizens. The Gilmore puppies have all settled into amazing foster families where they are learning the comforts and routines of living in a home. They are learning about toys, treats, and the joy of a good nap. As they move forward, the Gilmore puppies will be looking for loving forever homes that will continue to provide them with structure, routine, and leadership. Although these babies are cute as can be, 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, we are positive these babies will grow into incredible adult dogs. The Gilmore puppies will open for adoption on April 22nd.
