Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Stella found her match several years ago. Her mom welcomed this extraordinary girl into her heart and never looked back. An incredible pair, Stella and her mom had a special understanding of each other. They enjoyed their days together on the farm. With fresh air, sunshine, and plenty of daily activities, Stella's world was filled with joy and love. When Stella's mom started getting sick, family members stepped in to help out. Stella found comfort in her family, but missed her mom. As things improved, the two were reunited and all seemed well with the world. Recently, it was determined that Stella's mom needed some extra help and would no longer be able to live independently. Recognizing that Stella could not move into a facility with her mom, a heartbreaking decision was made - Stella would need to be rehomed. Knowing we protect our own, her family called MAGSR and asked for help. We knew this was not an easy decision for Stella's family. But, we promised we would care for this senior lady and ensure she had everything she needed. 

Saying goodbye is never an easy option. We know that both Stella and her mom miss each other greatly. With such a significant change, Stella has been taking some time to take a breath and grieve. Welcomed into one of our senior foster homes, Stella's foster family is giving her time to adjust to her new surroundings. Soft blankets, comforting toys, and daily routine seems to be a welcome set-up. Daily time out in the fresh air also seems comforting. Stella has begun to check in with her foster parents regularly. A huge fan of a good head pat and attention on her terms, Stella is clear about her needs. Her foster family is always happy to give a head rub and some love. Very attuned to her environment, Stella likes to know what is happening around her and typically doesn't miss a beat. She is the perfect watchdog.  

As a senior pup, Stella takes her time moving from one place to another and requires some additional support to remain comfortable. Senior needs are often very different from our younger pups and typically entail additional vetting, medications, and supplements. Team MAGSR will ensure that Stella has everything she needs to remain safe and comfortable. Although Stella will always receive the care she needs, senior care can be expensive. Please consider donating to Stella. Your donation will not only help us support her in the MAGSR family, but it will also help us continue to welcome seniors in need. 

If you’re looking for sunshine wrapped in fur, look no further than Cora! This happy, affectionate girl is full of life, energy, and love to share. Cora is always ready to greet new friends—human or canine—with her trademark wiggly booty, stubby corgi features, bright eyes, and big, goofy grin. She loves meeting new people and has never met a stranger. Although she hasn’t been around children before, her friendly, social nature suggests she would greet them with the same enthusiasm she shows adults.

Cora is a fun-loving, curious companion who thrives on attention and playtime. She’s loyal, full of personality, and has an infectious zest for life that makes every day brighter. Cora is simply all about enjoying every ounce of life. As is true of both breeds, particularly younger GSDs and Corgis, Cora will thrive with continued training, clear boundaries, and consistent structure. With patience, direction, and positive reinforcement, she’s eager to learn and please.

Cora is a bundle of energy and curiosity. As a young girl, she’s got a lot to learn and energy to burn, but with time and guidance, she’ll grow into a good adult canine citizen. When provided with clear rules, routines, and structures, this little girl will shine. 

Cora’s best qualities are her friendly, loving spirit and her playful energy. She adores people and always wants to be involved in what’s going on. She would thrive in a home that can give her plenty of exercise, affection, and patient training. Cora’s beautiful, smart, and full of potential—what more could you ask for? If you think your home is the right fit for this amazing girl, ask to meet her today. She’s ready to find the forever family she’s always deserved.

Not all babies are born into loving homes where they have everything they need to thrive. Some start off well but things go south as they get a little older. Luckily cutiepie Nova Sol and her brother, Archer Blaze, were babies who knew kindness early on as they found themselves in another rescue at just ~8 weeks old. Recognizing that both siblings deserved a chance to move forward, this rescue began addressing their medical needs and looking for a breed-specific rescue to help them find the right home. When asked if we could welcome them both into the MAGSR family, our team stepped forward and the rest is history.

Nova Sol is clearly a beautiful young pup. A sweet girl who loves attention and playtime, this baby easily wins over the hearts of everyone she meets. With a solid understanding of toys and a zest for life, Nova Sol fills her days with playtime, people time, doggy interactions, and endless cuddles. She is hoping her forever family will give her plenty of opportunities to continue to socialize. This is critical to her success as an adult GSD. Living with one of our amazing foster families, Nova Sol is learning all about the joys of living in a loving home. With a little more time and training, we know this girl is going to meet with success.

Although Nova Sol is beyond adorable, 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, training, and leadership, we know that Nova Sol will develop into an amazing adult dog - she is already learning so much! With big changes, she approaches new things with confidence and curiosity, but she is ready to find a safe and loving forever home and a life filled with love. If your household is looking for a smart, playful girl, who loves a good snuggle, ask the adoptions team to meet Nova Sol today!

Striking Sarge, like so many dogs, found himself in a large, overcrowded shelter—unsure where things had gone wrong on his journey. The staff cared deeply and wanted the best for this big-hearted guy, but with limited resources, nationwide drops in adoptions, and an overwhelming number of dogs arriving daily, they simply couldn’t keep up. They knew Sarge deserved more than they could offer, so they began reaching out to rescues up and down the coast in hopes of finding him a safe place to land. Fortunately, when one of our sister rescues received the call for help, Sarge’s story made its way to MAGSR. Our team knew we couldn’t leave this boy behind. Working closely with local groups, shelter volunteers, and transporters, we ensured Sarge made his way safely into the MAGSR family. Sometimes, teamwork truly makes all the difference for a dog in need.

Although Sarge was already known as a big boy, our team quickly realized he wasn’t quite big enough. With ribs showing, a dull coat in need of vitamins, and a good bath overdue, we jumped right in to give him the care he needed to move forward. Through it all, Sarge showed us what a friendly, social guy he is—already comfortable with both people and other dogs. Sarge has a solid foundation, and it’s important that his forever family continue to build on it as he settles into his new home. Food-motivated and eager to please, he loves practicing his commands and happily works for tasty treats. He learns quickly, and with consistent training, he will continue to shine. Sarge is still working on his leash manners and, if given the chance, will gladly pull you along for the ride. Training will be a game changer for this handsome boy—helping him become a well-mannered adult shepherd while strengthening the bond with his new family.

Although it’s clear someone loved Sarge at some point and invested in his early training, we don’t know anything about his past. Like any new dog, he will need time, patience, and a clear routine to help him settle in. Structure and leadership will help him thrive. Sarge is looking for an active family who will love him for a lifetime. Could that be you?

This lovely lady was in an overcrowded shelter, and just before her time was up, she was rescued by another group dedicated to making sure she's placed in a safe and loving home. That rescue later reached out for help with some of the dogs in their care, and as we all know, teamwork makes the dream work, so MAGSR didn't think twice before stepping forward to assist.

Taffy has been lucky to land in a foster home where she's finally getting the opportunities a young, energetic girl needs. Her amazing fosters have been helping her learn about the joys of being a puppy and taking in the world around her. With her fresh, sponge-like mind, this resilient girl is learning housebreaking, crate training, and polite behaviors that will lay the foundation for a well-mannered adult life. While she is still fine-tuning general manners on leash, she's got a great start and will benefit significantly as all young dogs do from continued training. Living with older rescue dogs, Taffy is quickly learning the ins and outs of pack life. She gets along really well with the other dogs and wouldn't mind landing in a forever home with another friendly pup to play with - or at least more consistent socialization so she can keep learning to speak 'dog'! Highly intelligent and observant, Taffy notices everything around her. She loves adults but struggles around small children. Without a high prey drive, she did well when tested with a cat; in fact, she was more afraid of the cat than anything else. With structure, routine, leadership, and clear expectations from a calm and confident handler, Taffy will blossom into an amazing adult. She'd like to continue her daily physical and mental exercise, all while building and strengthening her bond with her forever family - could that be you?
