Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Lovely Tonka has been a girl’s best friend from the very beginning. Born into a family who loved her dearly, Tonka quickly became the constant companion of one very special family member. It was almost as though she just knew that this person needed a shadow — and Tonka was more than happy to fill that role. Tonka was one of the lucky ones. She knew love, kindness, compassion, and the comfort of a home. She was raised around other animals and given the opportunity to become a well-socialized, confident companion. She was deeply adored, and her family did everything they could to make life work. But sometimes, even when everyone gives their very best, circumstances simply don’t come together the way we hope.

When it became clear that Tonka needed more than her family could provide, they made the incredibly difficult and selfless decision to say goodbye. Not because they loved her any less, but because they loved her enough to give her the opportunity to have everything she needed to truly thrive. That act of love gave Tonka her best chance — and now she is ready for the next chapter of her life.

And what an amazing girl she is.

Tonka seems to flow beautifully into a pack and is comfortable around dogs of various sizes. She is typically non-reactive and appears to have more of a gentle beta personality. She has wonderful social skills and seems happiest when she knows her people are nearby. Tonka is especially comfortable with women. With men, she may need a little time to warm up, but once she feels safe and gets to know you, she does well. Children and teenagers seem to flow easily into Tonka's world and she quickly attaches to them. Typical of her breed, Tonka is a constant companion. She wants to be close to her person and would happily follow her favorite human from room to room. If you’re looking for a dog who wants to be your shadow, Tonka may be your girl.

Having lived in a home, Tonka already has some wonderful skills under her belt. She is house trained and knows how to let her people know when she needs to go outside. She is also crate trained. Like many dogs, she may offer a little protest for a minute or two, but she settles nicely. It’s clear that her family gave her a wonderful foundation and taught her how to be a successful member of a household. Right now, Tonka is showing medium-level energy. She hasn’t shown much interest in traditional toys, but she absolutely enjoys bones and treat-based toys. She seems to appreciate the simple things in life — a good chew, a tasty treat, and, most importantly, being close to her people.

Tonka is also receiving some additional medical support right now. She has been dealing with significant skin issues for some time, but fortunately, she has an amazing veterinary team in her corner. With medications on board, cytologies completed, and a treatment plan in place, we are hopeful that Tonka will soon be feeling better and ready to truly shine. It is likely that Tonka will need allergy medication for the remainder of her life. That may mean a little extra care and commitment from her forever family, but we know this girl is more than worth it. She deserves someone who will see beyond her medical needs and recognize the incredible companion waiting underneath it all.

Tonka isn’t looking for a perfect home. She’s looking for her home — a place where she can be adored, supported, cherished, and loved for the rest of her life. A family who understands that sometimes loving a dog means making room for a few extra needs, and who will happily give her the care she deserves. After everything Tonka has given to the people she loved, it’s her turn to be someone’s special girl again. Could you be the person Tonka has been waiting for? 

Ahh the freedom of the open road and wind in your hair-- there's nothing better! And Journey here agrees-- she is appropriately named because she is absolutely game for a good road trip...planned or not! Journey was trapped as a stray running free and we think the only thing she could want for was some company, and maybe a few square meals. 

All jokes aside, Journey was found as a stray but she clearly was at one time well socialized. She is interactive with people and knows a few basic commands. She has interacted well with other dogs and would likely do well in a multi dog home or as an only pup. She clearly craves the attention and love a family can provide as well as a partner to adventure with. She will need a family willing to keep her mentally and physically stimulated and who will give her the time to properly decompress and adjust to the routines and structure of a new home. Due to her past, it will be critical that her new family keep her leashed and takes precautions to prevent any unexpected departures as she learns that her home is a permanent, safe space. She is considered a flight risk, and training will be an integral part of her bonding to her new family and learning the beauty of having her own place to call home. 

Does Journey sound like the perfect fit for your home? Ask to meet her today! 

Kona was brought to MAGSR in 2022 after she was found repeatedly leaving her owner's farm to go on her own walkabouts. Shortly thereafter, she found a family to love her and teach her the benefits of living in a comfy home, complete with a few "fur-siblings".  Kona is a dominant female and in her quest to be queen bee, she struggled with aggressive behaviors with another dog in the household. Her family loves her very much and worked to rectify these issues through training and structure, but ultimately recognized that Kona would do best in a single dog household, and they made the difficult decision to return her to the MAGSR family. 

Kona is at the perfect age for a German Shepherd- young enough to play a rousing game of ball, yet old enough to appreciate a good couch potato day. As expected of a German Shepherd, she does lean towards the active side and would benefit from a family that keeps her mentally and physically stimulated. Training will be a great opportunity to bond with Kona while providing her the structure that will help her thrive. 

If you're looking for a sweet and playful gal to be the center of your world, inquire about Kona today! 

Jack’s story begins like far too many others—found as a stray and brought into an overcrowded shelter, where he waited patiently for a family that never came. As days passed and space ran out, Jack’s future became uncertain. With shelters across the country overwhelmed, many wonderful dogs don’t get the second chance they deserve. Thankfully, a last-minute plea reached the right ears, and MAGSR stepped in just in time to give Jack that chance.

Jack is everything you’d expect from a young German Shepherd Dog—playful, curious, and bursting with energy. He’s an adventurous, social boy who is always ready to engage, whether it’s playtime in the yard or learning something new. Like many young pups who haven’t yet had consistent structure, Jack is still figuring out the world around him and will thrive with a confident leader who can provide guidance, routine, and clear expectations. Highly intelligent and eager to connect, Jack has so much potential. With regular training and daily mental and physical exercise, he’s sure to blossom into a well-mannered and devoted companion. Training won’t just help him learn good manners—it will also strengthen the bond he shares with his forever family. Jack has already begun learning the basics of home life. He’s getting comfortable with crate training, working on housebreaking, and starting to understand what’s expected of him in a household. Like any young GSD, he’ll need patience, consistency, and time—but the reward will be a loyal, loving companion who brings joy and laughter into every day.

Despite his uncertain past, Jack’s future is incredibly bright. He’s looking for a forever family ready to embrace his playful spirit, keep up with his energy, and enjoy both his goofy antics and his affectionate cuddles. If you’re searching for a smart, fun-loving partner for life’s adventures, Jack might just be your perfect match.

Poppy is a loving, affectionate girl whose beautiful personality is shining brighter every day in her foster home. As she grows more confident and comfortable, her playful, happy spirit is emerging, and it has been a joy to watch her discover just how wonderful life can be in a loving home. When Poppy first arrived, she was unsure around other dogs, but with time, patience, and positive experiences, she has made wonderful progress. Today, she is confidently initiating playtime with her foster brothers! Her journey is a beautiful reminder that, with the right support and encouragement, a dog’s confidence can grow in amazing ways.

Poppy absolutely adores people, especially children! One of her favorite moments is when her foster family’s kids come home from school. Their arrival fills her with excitement, and her sweet, affectionate nature shines through. She also loves spending time outdoors, exploring the backyard, and chasing squirrels. Whether she’s enjoying a little adventure or simply soaking up love from her favorite people, Poppy is discovering the joys of being part of a family.

She is eager to please, learning her commands, and appears to be housebroken. Poppy has adjusted beautifully to home life and continues to make progress every day. As wonderful as she is, she is still learning and growing, and she will benefit from a family that understands the importance of giving her time to settle into her new surroundings. Training, consistency, and routine will be key to helping Poppy thrive in her forever home. A predictable daily schedule, clear expectations, positive reinforcement, and continued training will help her understand what is expected of her and build confidence in her new environment. Like many rescue dogs, Poppy may need time to decompress and adjust to new people, surroundings, and routines. Patience and consistency will help her feel secure, strengthen your bond, and allow her wonderful personality to continue shining. Keeping up with her training and providing gentle, positive introductions to new experiences will set her up for long-term success.

Poppy is looking for a forever family that will celebrate her progress, encourage her curiosity, and give her the structure and reassurance she needs to continue to blossom. In return, she promises plenty of affection, playful moments, and the kind of love that makes a house feel like home. Could Poppy be the missing piece of your family? She has so much love to give and so much potential waiting to unfold. With a little patience, a lot of love, and the consistency every growing dog deserves, Poppy is ready to begin her next chapter and become the cherished companion she was always meant to be.

Meet Ada, one lucky young German Shepherd! A few months ago she was wandering on her own-- skinny and covered in ticks. Thankfully she found herself in exactly the right palace at the right time, wandering into the path of a good samaritan who saw a pup who needed her help and hopped right to it-- she got all the necessary vetting and groceries to help Ada back to health. This good samaritan knew she couldn't take on Ada long term, and just helped out of the kindness of her heart until a shelter, and ultimately MAGSR, could support her last steps in finding a wonderful forever family.

Ada is a beautiful one-year-old German Shepherd with a heart as big as her ears! This sweet, intelligent girl is the complete package. She loves people, exhibiting none of the stranger danger we commonly find in the breed. She has been great with her fosters children, choosing to avoid them if she becomes overwhelmed making her a great option for a family dog.

Ada also gets along great with other dogs and is even cat-friendly, so she could fit right into a multi-pet household. She enjoys playtime, exploring the outdoors, and spending quality time with her favorite humans. True to her German Shepherd roots, Ada is smart, eager to learn, and always ready for her next adventure. Living in a foster home has helped Ada immensely, encouraging positive behaviors for a smooth transition for her next family.

When the days explorations and playtimes are complete, Ada is happy to relax by your side and soak up all the love and attention she can get. She's looking for a forever family that will continue helping her grow into the amazing dog she's meant to be. She will need continued obedience and leash training as she adjusts to a new home and routine. Ada's curiosity about her surroundings needs a little work to be productively channeled but her interest in humans and the snacks they often hide in their pockets should help make this an easy process.

If you're searching for a loyal best friend who is loving, social, and ready to become part of the family, Ada may be your perfect match!

Hershey is one of the 8 Campfire puppies, who were named through a contest with our beloved donors. These adorable siblings have been growing so well and have, of course, maintained some very typical puppy behaviors. They are active, intelligent, and very good with other animals. With a good understanding of toys, treats, and a soft place to relax, all the babies have been lucky to stay together with mom and each other during the neonatal and transitional stage. Still developing their socialization skills, these boys and gal will need endless opportunities to socialize with people and other animals in safe and controlled settings. Socialization is critical to their success as this will help them develop into stable adult dogs. 

Although these babies are cute as can be, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. Giving them the time, training, patience, and leadership they need, we know that the siblings are destined for greatness. Each of these amazing babies are looking for a household that will provide them with a good balance of training, playtime, and cuddles.

Frankie is a wonderful 8-month-old German Shepherd mix with a curious nature and a love for people of all ages, including children. He gets along well with both resident MAGSR dogs and enjoys being part of a family.

As a young pup, Frankie has plenty of puppy energy and loves to play, explore, and stay active. He will benefit from a family committed to providing regular exercise, continued training, and plenty of mental stimulation. After an active day, he is happy to settle down and relax.

Frankie is house-trained and crate-trained. He sleeps soundly in his crate and isn’t bothered by thunderstorms or fireworks. Like many curious puppies, Frankie is interested in rabbits and may chase if they run, so continued supervision is important.

Frankie is a sweet, confident puppy who is ready to continue learning and growing as part of a loving family.

Cleo Grace’s journey hasn’t been easy. She was found as a stray and brought to a local shelter, carrying the weight of a difficult past. Her ears tell part of her story—one bears the scars of chronic infection, and the other shows signs of fly strikes. But while her body carries reminders of hardship, her heart is ready for healing.

Cleo Grace is like a little seed waiting to blossom. At first, she can be shy and unsure, but once she feels safe, she leans in close and buries her head into her handler’s chest—her way of saying “thank you for keeping me safe.”

Because new experiences can overwhelm her, Cleo Grace will do best in a quiet, calm home with patient adopters who can offer gentle guidance, structure, and consistency. Keeping her safe and secure will be a top priority, as she is still considered a high flight risk due to her past. With time, trust, and encouragement, she will thrive.

She will soon begin a confidence-building training program with our rescue, where she’ll learn that people can be trusted and life can be joyful. Cleo Grace is safe now, surrounded by love and support, and we’re committed to giving her every chance to succeed.

All she needs is her forever family—the one who will nurture her, help her bloom, and finally give her the happy ending she deserves.

Mika’s story began like far too many dogs in the South — picked up as a stray and brought into an overcrowded shelter system where countless wonderful dogs never get the chance to leave alive. Thankfully, Mika caught the attention of the right people. They recognized immediately that she was an exceptional girl who deserved a future filled with love, safety, and family.

When MAGSR was asked to help Mika move forward, we knew her life was absolutely worth saving. Welcoming her into rescue was one of the easiest decisions we’ve made.

Mika is an absolute sweetheart who wins hearts everywhere she goes. With her soulful eyes and affectionate personality, she has a gentle presence that makes people fall in love instantly. Somewhere along her journey, Mika was fortunate enough to receive positive socialization with dogs and other animals, giving her a wonderful foundation of social skills that her future family can continue to build upon. Like any German Shepherd, Mika will thrive in a home that provides structure, consistency, and clear expectations. Ongoing training will be an important part of her success — helping her continue to strengthen bonds with her family while growing into a confident and well-rounded canine citizen.

Unfortunately, Mika is currently heartworm positive, a condition that could have been prevented with monthly preventative care. The good news is that her treatment has already begun, and she is on the road to recovery. Over the next few months, Mika will need a calm environment while she heals. Heartworm treatment is costly, but we know this beautiful girl is worth every penny. Donations toward Mika’s care not only help her continue moving forward but also allow us to save other dogs with medical needs.

While we may never know much about Mika’s past, we know her future is incredibly bright. She is searching for a loving family that will welcome her into their home and provide the care, comfort, exercise, and companionship every dog deserves.

If Mika sounds like the perfect addition to your family, ask to meet her today.
