Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Stunning Mikah was loved by her family. However, due to a change in circumstances, they were unable to provide her with the care they felt she deserved. Knowing that Mikah deserved an amazing home that would provide her with a lifetime of love, her owner made the difficult decision to surrender her. We promised Mikah's family that we would find her an amazing forever family. 

Mikah is a young, active, and intelligent girl. She is quick to learn new things and responsive to the handler. Typical of most young GSDs, Mikah has a lot of good energy that will need to be burned appropriately on a daily basis. She will thrive in an environment where she has structure, routine, and consistency. Having lived in a household, Mikah has already learned some of the ins and outs of living in a home. However, as is true of any new dog, Mikah will need time to adjust to her forever home. She is a big fan of toys and will happily play with you, but she can also keep herself entertained. As Mikah moves forward, training and continued socialization are essential. Training will not only help Mikah develop a strong and healthy bond with her family, but it will also help develop into a good canine citizen. Mikah is looking for a family that will commit to her for a lifetime, could that be with you?

Claire was picked up as a stray in the south. She was brought to an animal shelter where staff members immediately fell in love with this little love bug. Although staff knew that Claire was special and deserved a loving forever family, in an overcrowded shelter Claire didn't have much time. Fortunately, the right people got involved and contacted MAGSR. We were able to work together to pull Claire and keep her safe and loved until she could move up the coast to MAGSR.

Claire is adorable, affectionate and goofy. She loves people and is thrilled to interact with everyone. As a young and energetic girl, Claire is still learning manners and the general rules of living in a home. However, this lucky lady has had the chance to live with a foster family which has helped her start learning the ins and outs of living in a home. As Claire moves forward, she will thrive in an environment with clear structure, routine, and leadership. Training will go a long way with this girl. Not only will it help her develop a healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her become a stable and confident canine citizen. Claire is hoping her forever family enjoys playtime, snuggles, treats, and lots of toys. She knows that the right family is out there and is waiting patiently to meet them. If lovely little Claire sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today. 

Axel and his family - Gypsie, Jackie, Genie, Sally, and Birdie - are victims of cruelty and neglect. All six dogs were living in horrific conditions. Chained in shower stalls, living in filth, abused, and starved, they endured unimaginable suffering at the hands of their owner. When word of their situation spread to local authorities, all 6 dogs were confiscated and charges were brought against their owner. Recognizing that these dogs would need significant support, a plea went out to see if they could be moved to the safety of a rescue. MAGSR answered that plea and immediately began working with local groups and animal services to get all six dogs the resources needed (medically and socially) to begin to move forward.  

Axel is a young, energetic, and intelligent guy. He is looking for an active and experienced household that will provide him with the structure, routine, and leadership that all shepherds need. As the only male in the family, Axel seems to have been mistreated more than the other dogs. He can be hand-shy and head-shy, particularly, when fast movements above his head are used. Coming from a situation with little opportunity for affection or interaction with the world around him, Axel is taking every opportunity to explore and enjoy life. He is quickly discovering that people can be kind. Once he knows that you are safe, Axel leans in for head rubs and attention. As is true of all young dogs, Axel will need daily exercise for both his mind and his body. He is already beginning to learn a few basic commands and seems beyond happy to work with his handler. As a food motivated and smart guy, Axel will be the star of training class. Continued training will be an essential piece as Axel moves forward. Training will not only help Axel develop a healthy bond with his family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to be a good canine citizen. Continued socialization is also critical for Axel as he has spent his first two years with limited interactions. Providing Axel with opportunities to interact with other people and other animals in a controlled manner will help him develop essential foundational skills that he missed while chained up. Axel already seems to be very social with the dogs in his family. They all seem to seek him out for comfort. 

We have discovered that Axel is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided had Axel been provided with monthly heartworm preventatives. Although treatment is very expensive, this interactive guy is beyond worth the cost. Axel's entire heartworm treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Donations toward his care are greatly appreciated as this will help us not only help this survivor get all of the care that he needs, but it will also help us continue to support medical dogs in need. Axel will need to take it easy over the next few months while he completes his treatment. However, this will give him time to learn about the ins and outs of living in a safe and loving home. Axel is looking for a loving, structured, and experienced household. If he sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today. 

The GA 6 have been an expensive rescue, but so worth it.  If you can help us donating to the cost of their care, it you be very much appreciated!

The winter puppies - Stormy, Flurry, and Mittens - were surrendered to a shelter in the south. Although shelter staff knew these little ladies deserved loving homes of their own, they knew these ladies needed immediate help. The shelter was at capacity and owner surrenders are often the first dogs euthanized. Doing everything they could to help these girls move forward, a plea went out for help. When we heard their plea, our team immediately began putting plans in place to help all three girls move forward. 

All three little ladies joined the MAGSR family for the new year. Clearly well-socialized, these ladies are friendly, active, and intelligent. It is evident that someone did work with them to provide a foundation for success. Although these little ladies are absolutely delightful, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew on inappropriate things, have accidents, and fill your home with puppy antics. With structure, routine, and leadership, these girls will develop into the stable and confident dogs we know they are destined to become. If a winter puppy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet them today!
