Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Forest and his buddy, Jenny, were lucky to have grown up in a loving home that had planned to love them for a lifetime. Forest joined the family as a baby and was immediately adored. Jenny joined a little later when another family in the area needed to rehome her. She was immediately adored. Like "peas and carrots" these two lived side by side in an incredible household. Unfortunately, things simply don't always work out the way we plan. When circumstances changed unexpectedly in their home, it became clear that it was in both dogs best interest that they be rehomed. This is never an easy decision; it is often one of the hardest choices a family must make. However, their family knew this was what was best for both dogs. When asked if we could help both dogs move forward with loving families that would last a lifetime, team MAGSR stepped forward.

Forest is a big, confident guy. He confidently takes in the world around him and is a stabilizing force. More playful and outgoing than his sister, this guy will fill his forever home with endless antics. A huge fan of toys, Forest has high hopes that his forever family will maintain a large number of toys in the household providing him with plenty of options. Typical of most young dogs, Forest is an active guy. He is happiest when both his body and his mind are exercised on a daily basis. A lucky guy, Forest has had the opportunity to begin building his good canine citizenship skills and is participating in training. This has helped Forest enhance his leash manners and develop commands. Although Forest is building a solid foundation, it is critical that Forest's forever family continue training. Not only will training help Forest build a healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him continue to solidify his good canine citizenship skills. 

Having lived in a loving household, Forest is already housebroken and crate trained. He understands many of the ins and outs of living in a home. However, it is critical that his forever family provides him with structure, routine, leadership, and clear expectations. With these key aspects in place, Forest will thrive. Forest is looking for a home that will enjoy his goofy personality and provide him with endless opportunities to meet with success. If this big guy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today!

Stunning Shep was picked up as a stray in the south and brought to a local animal control. Upon arrival, it was highly evident that this boy needed medical attention as soon as possible. With a severe ear infection and raw, painful paws, and underweight Shep was incredibly uncomfortable and in need of help. Fortunately, the right people heard about Shep's situation and began working with rescue groups to find a temp foster and rescue placement. When asked if we could provide Shep with a rescue option, team MAGSR knew that Shep would make an incredible addition to the family. With an amazing foster family in place, we welcomed this handsome boy to the MAGSR family. 

Recognizing that Shep needed medical support right away, we worked with several groups to ensure he had what he needed. Shep had his medical needs addressed and was placed in a loving home to recuperate. Seeming to understand that this was his chance to decompress and let the healing process happen, Shep took some time to relax and get healthy again. Once he started feeling better, we were able to move him to one of our experienced foster homes where Shep had the chance to start acting like a dog again. An active guy with a high ball drive, Shep's all-time favorite activities involve balls. He will happily chase and mouth a ball for hours. In fact, it seems that he is hoping that his forever family has an affinity for throwing as, in his mind, humans are meant to be his personal throwing machine. Still learning the finer points of playing, Shep still needs some time to further decompress and learn the ins and outs of appropriate play. This guy is looking for an active family that will provide the structure, routine, and expectations needed to meet the needs of a headstrong shepherd. He would likely be happiest with a job, like nosework, or an activity, like treibball. With a little refinement, Shep would likely excel at Rally or flyball! Living in a foster home, Shep is learning the ins and outs of living in a home. He is learning to crate train and housebreak. He is also learning about the general routines and expectations of living in a GSD savvy home. However, he will need time and patience to adjust to the expectations and routines of his forever family. As is true of all dogs, training will be key to Shep's success. Not only will training help Shep build a healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Shep is your typical teenage shepherd seeking attention and a good time. If you are looking for an intelligent, fun-loving, active shepherd, Shep could be the guy for you!

Attractive little Angel was picked up in a busy city and brought to a local shelter. Although she waited patiently for her family to come and claim her, no one stepped forward for this sweetheart. With shelters significantly over capacity, the moment her stray hold lifted, Angel was in danger. She was placed on the list to be euthanized. This was not what anyone wanted; however, with an endless flow of dogs entering the shelter daily, staff members were forced to make incredibly tough choices. Knowing that Angel would not survive without immediate help, the rescue community sent out a plea for help. Fortunately, MAGSR had a space for Angel and was able to welcome her to the family. 

Angel is an absolute peach. She is sweet, social, and very intelligent. Typical of the breed, she has some good energy and is looking for a family that can keep up with this gorgeous girl. Angel will need someone to exercise both her body and her mind on a daily basis. With some ball drive, an eagerness to learn, and a responsive nature, Angel is picking up new skills quickly. She is hoping to find a family that has a good throwing arm and is ready with lots of toys. Super responsive to both food and praise, she will pick up new learning fast. Training will go a long way with this girl. Not only will training help her build a healthy relationship with her forever family, but it will also help Angel develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. In many ways Angel is still a puppy. Her endless puppy antics keep our volunteers smiling; however, these behaviors are not for everyone especially if left unchecked. With time, patience, structure, and leadership, we know Angel will be an amazing adult dog. Continued socialization will be key to her success. Angel will need endless opportunities to learn about new people, animals, and environments. This will help her hone her skills and develop a stable personality. 

Angel is looking for an active forever family that will cherish her happy personality for a lifetime. If this lovely little girl sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

Momma Starlight and her adorable babies - Niner, Peace, Benisa and Seven - were surrendered to an overcrowded shelter when the babies were just 6 weeks old. Although shelter staff do everything they can to keep families safe, raising puppies in a shelter is stressful for the entire family and often results in illness. Although this family was clearly very sweet, no one stepped forward to help them. As shelter numbers everywhere are at astronomical rates, Momma Starlight and her babies were at significant risk of being euthanized as owner surrenders are typically the first to cross. Days passed without interest and the family was placed on the list to be euthanized. The rescue community was doing everything they could to help, but with rescues at critical levels finding placement options was very challenging. Fortunately, an incredible rescue close to the shelter was able to secure temp fosters for the family hoping to work with other rescues to move them forward. When asked if MAGSR could be the family's rescue destination, our team sent out a plea for help. We were lucky to have fosters ready and willing to help. The uncertainty of their survival had finally ended as they made their way to the MAGSR family.

Benisa who we call "Isa" and her adorable siblings have been through a lot of changes in a short period of time. However, a resilient group, these babies have 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 four babies have been lucky to have settled in experienced foster families. Still developing their socialization skills, "Isa" and her siblings 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. With time, training, patience, and leadership we know that "Isa" and her siblings are destined for greatness. "Isa" is looking for a household that will provide her with a good balance of training, playtime, and cuddles. If this gorgeous little girl sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

Vibrant Valkyrie was sitting at an overcrowded animal shelter waiting for someone to come and claim her. Although she waited, no one stepped forward for this lovely lady. As shelters are simply unable to keep up with the number of animals in need, unclaimed animals often struggle to make it out alive. Valkyrie's time was running short. Fortunately, another group stepped forward and welcomed Valkyrie into their care. She was very lucky to find someone that would help her move forward as well as help address her medical needs. Valkyrie was heartworm positive upon her arrival with the other rescue. However, they ensured she had everything she needed and walked her through treatment. Having completed treatment months ago, but without adoption interest, MAGSR was asked to welcome Valkyrie into our care so that she might meet with better success with a breed specific rescue. Valkyrie had been waiting for over a year for this chance. When we learned she needed placement, we knew she would be a great match for the MAGSR family. 

Valkyrie is an active, intelligent, and social girl. Having been well socialized with people somewhere along her journey, Valkyrie connects with people quickly. She loves a good hug and lean in. A huge fan of the outdoors, Valkyrie is greatly enjoying the fall weather and is happy to be out and about with her person. Although we do not know anything about Valkyrie's past, we do know that she has a bright future. As is true of all shepherds, Valkyrie will thrive when provided with structure, routine, and leadership. She is looking for a household that will provide her with clear expectations and boundaries as well as patience as she adjusts to her forever family. Training will go a long way with Valkyrie. Not only will this help her build a strong, healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Valkyrie has been waiting for a family of her very own for far too long. If this lovely girl sounds like a match for your family, ask to meet her today!

Precious Poseidon is one of the lucky dogs who has lived in an incredible household where he has been cherished. Although his family adored this big, handsome guy, when circumstances changed, his family began searching for rescue placement so that Poseidon could move forward safely with an amazing family that would love him. Surrendering a member of the family is never an easy decision. It is not a choice that any family comes to lightly; however, Poseidon's family knew that it was in his best interest to say goodbye. We promised that we would do everything we could to ensure that Poseidon found an incredible match. 

Intelligent, social, and clearly a stunning guy, Poseidon (Psy) embodies many of your typical GSD traits. Curious about his environment while also very aware of his surroundings, Psy, like most shepherds, doesn't miss a beat. He is capable, engaging, and protective when he needs to be. An active guy, Psy greatly enjoys getting out and about on a daily basis. True of most shepherds, Psy does best when both his body and his mind are exercised on a daily basis. This helps him maintain stability. Having always lived in a pack, Psy is looking for a home that has another dog. He thrives in this environment and is not successful without canine companions. However, as is true of all new furry family members, Psy will need time to build solid and lasting relationships with his new pack members. Time, patience, training, and opportunities to meet with success will help him adjust to his forever family. Psy already knows many of the ins and outs of living in a household. He is housebroken and crate trained, but does prefer a stronger crate for safety. With routine, structure, and leadership, Psy thrives in the household. True of all new dogs, Psy will need to participate in training. Not only will training help Psy build a healthy and lasting bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. With a few commands already in place, this guy is ready to continue learning. 

Poseidon is an amazing guy who is looking for an active family who will ensure he has plenty of toys, daily opportunities to exercise, and endless love. If Poseidon sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this handsome guy today!

The Vampire Litter - Giles, Oz, and Willow - found themselves alone and in need of help. Without a mommy in sight, they were lucky to find a good Samaritan who made sure these delightful little babies made their way to the safety of a rescue. Under the care of an experienced puppy foster, the babies began getting everything they needed to meet with success. With full bellies, vaccines started, and plenty of socialization, these babies were thriving. Although their foster family adored these babies, it was clear that they would be most successful if placed within a breed specific rescue. When our team was contacted about Vampire litter, we knew that we could help them move forward safely. So, we immediately welcomed the babies to the family.

All three puppies are beyond adorable. They are playful, interactive, and filled with endless joy. Although their foster families are continuing to provide these babies with socialization with people and other animals, it is critical that their forever families continue this process. This will help all three pups develop into stable adult dogs. Willow and her siblings are cute as can be; however, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, training, and socialization, Willow will develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. If your family is looking for a delightful little lady full of snuggles, look no further than Willow!

Beautiful Bailey was adored by her family. They knew she was a special girl and ensured that she had endless love, attention, and plenty of toys. However, when an unexpected event took place, they were unable to keep Bailey and provide her with the life they knew she deserved. Recognizing that we would provide Bailey with everything she needed to meet with success, her family made the heartbreaking decision to return her to the MAGSR. Knowing this was a very difficult decision, we promised we would find Bailey the perfect forever family. 

Bailey is an active, intelligent, and playful girl. She loves her people fiercely and gives them every ounce of affection she has. With some very strong GSD traits, Bailey is loyal, protective, and on point. She tends to notice everything around her and keeps an eye on her people at all times.  As a girl with a high prey drive, smaller creatures can be a little too enticing for Bailey. She finds joy in chasing small creatures, such as rabbits and squirrels, and will need to be monitored closely if they are out and about with her. Fond of the outdoors, Bailey is always up for a long walk, hike, or adventure. She takes cues well from the handler and knows many commands. Lucky to have lived in a loving household for a few years, Bailey has developed a solid understanding of and appreciation for toys; she is hoping her forever family enjoys them too! She loves to play ball and can't help but enjoy a good squeaky toy. With a few years of experience living in a home, Bailey has also developed an affinity for a soft bed. She loves cuddling up on her dog bed and doesn't mind having a dog bed or two in the house just to change up viewpoints throughout the day. Although Bailey is crate trained and housebroken, once settled, she prefers to be out and about. This seems to keep her more settled throughout the day. As is true of all shepherds Bailey will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. Providing clear boundaries and expectations will help Bailey meet with success. Bailey has already completed some basic training; however, she is always up for more! Continued training is essential to Bailey's success. Not only will it help her develop her canine citizenship skills, but it will also help her develop a strong and healthy bond with her forever family. 

If your family is looking for an active girl who will fill your days with doggy smiles, squeaky toys, and plenty of exercise, Bailey is your girl. 

The St. Pat's Litter - Guiness, Seamus, and Gem - was born to a less than reputable breeder at the beginning of the year. Interested in selling the babies for money and not interested in seeing anything more than a paycheck, many backyard breeders and puppy mill owners feel that once puppies have reached twelve weeks, they are no longer of worth. As the puppies lose their worth in the eyes of their owners, many are inhumanly killed without a second thought. The St. Pat's litter was in the same situation as so many babies that have lost their lives due to greedy and inhumane practices. They had reached twelve weeks and the decision was made to end their lives with a shotgun. As luck would have it a good samaritan found out about the St. Pat's litter and knew she had to try to save them. Recognizing they had hours to live, she worked with the owner to have all three babies surrendered to MAGSR. 

Guiness and his siblings - Seamus and Gem - are beyond adorable. Although they grew up in less than ideal circumstances, these babies are sweet and social. With MAGSR's support they have moved into incredible foster families that have been showing them what true love looks and feels like. With daily opportunities to socialize with people and other animals, these babies have begun to receive the care and attention that they have deserved since they were born. Learning the ins and outs of living in a home, these babies have begun housebreaking and crate training. They are also learning the joy of endless toys, a comfortable bed, and nice full bellies. It is important that their forever families continue to provide them with opportunities to learn, socialize, and develop the skills needed to develop into stable adult dogs. Although Guiness and his siblings are impressive babies, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience, and leadership, we know that the St. Pat's litter will grow into amazing canine citizens. If sweet Guiness sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this sweetheart today!

Charming Chapo was picked up by another rescue last year in the Spring. The rescue that pulled him knew that this handsome guy was in desperate need of rescue support. Although they didn't have many options for him, they knew that if they kept him safe, they would be able to find a breed specific rescue that would be able to help Chapo move forward safely. Fortunately, they were able to provide Chapo with temporary placement where he thrived. Knowing that Chapo was a great dog but wasn't in the right situation to move forward, inquiries were sent out so that Chapo could transfer to a rescue with more options. When MAGSR had a few openings at the beginning of the year, our team stepped forward to offer this handsome guy the opportunity to find an incredible match that will love him for a lifetime. 

Chapo is a handsome boy with some good energy. A gentle soul, this boy is friendly but a little hesitant with new people and new situations. Having moved about so many times already, this sweetheart will need some time to decompress and settle into his forever home knowing that he will never need to look for a family again. True of the breed, Chapo will be most successful in an environment where structure, routine, and leadership are present. This will help him adjust to his forever home and develop the confidence he needs to meet with success. Training will go a long way with Chapo. He already knows several commands. However, continued training is critical as it will not only help Chapo create a healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. It is highly evident that Chapo was socialized with people and other animals along his journey. However, we do not have any information about his life prior to his arrival in rescue. This boy is looking for time, patience, and a soft landing with the right family. Could that family be you?

Fallon was found as a stray. A good Samaritan who made sure this delightful little baby made her way to a shelter where she could be cared for. The shelter was overcrowded and understanding her specific needs, reached out to MAGSR to take her in and we gladly agreed and welcomed her into the MAGSR family. Under the care of an experienced puppy foster, this baby immediately began getting everything she needed to meet with success. With a full belly, vaccines started, and plenty of socialization, she began to thrive. 

She is beyond adorable. She's playful, interactive, and filled with endless joy.

Siber was originally part of the Molly's Hogwarts litter a couple years ago. These babies and their mommy, Molly, were confiscated from a cruelty and neglect situation. Fortunately, MAGSR was able to place the family in foster homes so that they could find incredible families that would love them for a lifetime. Siber was adopted as a puppy and has lived with a family for the past two years. Recognizing the importance of providing him with rules and boundaries, Siber's family made sure that he learned the ins and outs of living in a household and gave him opportunities to meet with success through training. Although they adopted Siber with the intent to provide him with a forever family, sometimes things do not work out the way we planned. When Siber's family could no longer provide him with the daily routines, exercise, and care he needed to meet with success, they contacted MAGSR knowing we would find him an incredible home. 

Siber is a stunning guy. Tall, lanky, and intelligent, this boy has typical young GSD energy and is not a couch potato. With high ball drive and a love for playing fetch, Siber is looking for a forever family that is happy to keep their throwing arm in good shape. As an active guy, Siber will need a family that will exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. This will help him develop the stability and confidence all GSDs need to meet with success. Having recently moved out of what he considered his forever home, Siber is currently a little lost. Our volunteers are working with him to help him move forward. He does best when given some time and patience to adjust to new people and situations. Continued socialization in controlled settings with new people and new environments is key to his success. Siber is looking for a forever home that will provide him with structure, routine, patience, and leadership that all GSDs need. He is hoping that an experienced GSD household will provide him with the tools needed for success. Food and toy motivated, Siber knows his perfect family is just waiting to meet him. Could Siber be the match for you?

Stunning Nola was born in a breeding operation. Having learned about her situation, a good samaritan stepped forward and rescued Nola and two of her brothers promising to find them safe and loving forever homes. Although the boys found safe homes in which to move forward, sweet Nola struggled to find placement. Knowing that Nola would likely be more successful if placed within a breed specific rescue, her caregiver reached out to MAGSR for help. Fortunately, one of our incredible foster families stepped forward to support Nola enabling us to welcome this little bundle of joy into the family. 

Nola is playful, affectionate, and social. With a joyful personality, Nola has been bringing daily smiles to her foster family. With regular opportunities to socialize with other dogs and people, Nola has filled her foster home with giggles and endless happiness. Living with an experienced household, this lovely little lady has begun to learn the ins and outs of living in a household. She understands the importance of structure, routine, and an endless pile of toys. As is true of all dogs, training will go a long way with Nola as it will help her develop the confidence and stability needed to become a good canine citizen. Although this little lady is beyond adorable, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with puppy antics. With time, patience, and socialization, we know Nola will develop into an incredible adult. If your family is looking for a goofball that will fill your days with giggles and nights with snuggles, look no further than Nola.

Stunning Smokey was picked up as a stray in the south. This adorable guy was simply too sweet for words. Shelter staff assumed someone would be looking for him. However, when no one stepped forward to claim him, Smokey was in need of support and fast. Shelters continue to drown in overwhelming numbers of animals in need. They simply cannot keep up with daily intake demands. With so many animals coming in, but very few leaving with forever families, many animals are being euthanized for space. Shelter staff knew Smokey deserved an incredible family that would cherish him. However, without adoption resources they worried he would not make it out alive. A rescue plea was sent out with the hope that an organization would step forward and pull Smokey before it was too late. When we learned that Smokey needed placement, our team began putting things in place to welcome this boy to MAGSR. 

As a young, intelligent boy, Smokey is very much still a baby. He is goofy, playful, and affectionate. Although we do not know anything about his past, we do know that this guy was socialized with other animals and people. He seems to already understand many of the ins and outs of social situations. However, as is critical with all dogs, Smokey will need continued socialization to meet with success. Opportunities to learn about new people and new environments will help him develop into a healthy and stable adult. Training will also go a long way with this boy. Not only will training help Smokey develop a healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him build the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Smokey is lucky to have been placed with one of our incredible foster families. He is settling into the household so that he can begin to learn the ins and outs of the home. We are sure he will happily adjust to the routines and structure of the home and won't have any problem snuggling on a cozy dog bed. 

Unfortunately, we have learned that Smokey is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided with monthly prevention. Fortunately, our team has already begun Smokey's treatment. He will need to take it easy over the next few months while he heals. Heartworm treatment is expensive, but Smokey is definitely worth the cost. Please consider donating to Smokey's care. Your donation will not only help us meet Smokey's needs, but it will also help us continue to support dogs with medical needs. This sweet guy is looking for an incredible forever family that will cherish him for a lifetime, could that family be with you?

Tate was purchased as a puppy and brought home into a loving family. He was happily surrounded by women and did very well with all of them. Unfortunately, when circumstances changed, it became clear that Tate would need to be rehomed. This is never an easy decision. However, Tate's family knew it was in his best interest. So, they surrendered him to MAGSR asking us to find their handsome boy a phenomenal forever family. 

Tate is a big, active, intelligent guy. Having said goodbye to his family and his home, he is a little rattled by the recent changes in his world. He knows he's a good boy, but he doesn't understand why things have changed or if he did something wrong. Our volunteers have been working with Tate to help him adjust to his new circumstances. Like many new dogs in the rescue, Tate will need time, patience, and structure as he adjusts to his new surroundings. He gravitates towards handlers that provide clear rules and expectations. This is helpful as Tate enjoys consistency. Although he arrived with some commands already in place, continued training will help him meet with success. Not only will training help Tate develop a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, it will also help him build the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Tate has had the benefit of living in a home. He understands many of the ins and outs of being an inside dog. Housebroken and crate trained, this guy is past the basics. However, as is true of all new dogs, he will need time to learn the expectations and routines of his forever family. Tate is looking for a forever family that has plenty of toys, enjoys daily exercise, and will love him for a lifetime. If Tate sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet this handsome guy today!
