MAGSR Commitment Dogs
| I'm beautiful to look at And wonderful to hold, But please don't adopt me If you wont keep me 'til I'm old. |
Good things come to those who wait. The saying really is true. Just give me a chance to be a good dog, And I'll never stop loving you. |
THESE BEAUTIFUL DOGS ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION...BUT, WE HOPE, SOME OF THEM MAY BE SOON!
These dogs' stories are examples of our commitment to rescue. It illustrates how we fight for each and every dog we get in, and how it is often a road filled with obstacles, both emotional and monetary. Some of these beautiful dogs will be available for adoption after some love and rehabilitation. We've taken in dogs and given over two years of care in some cases before allowing them to be adopted...click here for shining examples of why we "bother" to help the helpless dogs.Despite not being available for adoption, these loving dogs still deserve a good life and MAGSR is committed to giving it to them. In all cases, they were either neglected and abandoned and often times seriously abused, or just given up on, all of which has caused considerable emotional and sometimes physical trauma. With the help of caring trainers, and probably more importantly loving and patient fosters, we have been able to rehabilitate many dogs in similar conditions. With the help of generous sponsors, dedicated fosters, and lifesaving financial grants, MAGSR has been fortunate enough to care for even the most desperate of dogs.
Aspen
Aspen and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Aspen is a senior MAGSR alumni. Her amazing mom welcomed her as a senior into her family and planned on ensuring that she lived out her lifes in the comfort, peace, and security of her home. However, when her mom passed away suddenly, this amazing girl found herself in need of a new home. Aspen was her mom's heart; she loved her beyond words. Knowing she would want them to have a place to grieve, rest, and find comfort, we welcomed Aspen back to the MAGSR family.
Although she has seen her fair share of loss, Aspen is sweet, friendly, and loving. Aspen is social, friendly, and joyful. She brings happiness to everyone she meets.
Update:Aspen is such a sweet gem of a girl. She loves affection from people, and gets so excited to be around anyone and everyone. Having clearly been showered with love and affection throughout her life, Aspen loves to return this gift as often as possible. She is a low key kind of girl who enjoys getting to lounge around in her dog bed or going for short walks around the yard. A big fan of the outdoors, Aspen will even get a spunky pep in her step every now and then when outside. When hanging out with her people, Aspen is always willing and ready to accept a good back scratching and ear rubbing from anyone who offers. This lovely lady simply can't pass on a little extra attention.
In previous homes, Aspen lived with dogs. This trend has continued with her incredible foster family. Currently living with two dogs, Aspen has remained easy going and has done well when interacting with them. She also hasn’t paid much mind to the cats when they are around and is likely good with cats.
As Aspen is enjoying her golden years, it may take her a little longer to comply with commands. However, she will happily sit down to take treats and knows basic commands. She may not get around as fast as in her younger days, but Aspen still persists. She is determined to get where she is going even if it takes her a little longer. Although Aspen has seen a lot of changes throughout her life and moved about more often than we would have hoped, she has maintained her sweet, affectionate, and stable personality. She is looking for a loving home that will cherish her throughout her golden years giving plenty of pets, scratches, and giving her daily opportunities to enjoy the fresh air. If Aspen sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet this lovely lady today!
Simba
Simba and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Stunning Simba is the father of the Fall puppies - Autumn, Cider, Ember, Maple, Pumpkin, and Sweet Potato (Tator). These babies were an accidental litter that was raised with their parents. Although his human family loved him, it can be difficult to properly train, care for, and provide adequate stimulation for a large number of dogs. Recognizing that this family would be most successful if placed within a breed specific rescue, their family contacted MAGSR. With a no family left behind policy, we did not think twice when asked to take dad along with the Fall puppies. MAGSR has promised to find every member of this family a safe and loving forever home that will cherish them for a lifetime.
Simba moved into the rescue a few weeks ago. As he was not given the opportunity to socialize outside of his family and had been exposed to a child who was not treating him appropriately, we placed him with an experienced foster family. Not only is this family able to provide Simba with opportunities to socialize in controlled settings and with new people and animals, but they are also able to provide Simba with training. Training, as is true with all dogs, is key to Simba's success. One of our training partners, Mason Dixon K9, has already begun Simba's program. This is helping him develop the confidence and stability needed to move forward. As he continues to move forward with a family of his very own, MDK9 has committed to providing Simba with a lifetime of support. Simba is lucky to have so many people in his corner.
Simba is a very intelligent and active guy. He's also a sweetheart who loves a good cuddle. He is looking for a forever family that will provide him with an appropriate balance of exercise, playtime, and snuggles. It is critical that Simba's family provide him with daily opportunities to exercise both his body and his mind. This will help him maintain a stable presence in his forever home. In addition, Simba's family will need to infuse structure, routine, and leadership into their daily interactions. This set-up is essential for the success of all GSDs. Simba is waiting patiently to find the right match, could that be with you?
Update:While waiting for a forever family, his foster noticed that Simba was having some leg weakness and pain. After a trip to the vet, an exam, full blood work, and x-rays, it was discovered that Simba had spondylosis. Spondylosis is a degenerative condition in the spine that’s usually found in older dogs. It can also occur after a certain injury has taken place. It is possible that the abuse Simba suffered in his ‘former life’ is the cause of it.
Now that Simba is suffering from an irreversible, chronic, and painful condition at just 2 years old, Team MAGSR will be doing everything to ensure that he remains comfortable until the time comes. Poor boy never stood a chance, but there's no better place in the world for him than where he is right now. He'll get all the love and care possible. His care will be very expensive, but MAGSR has committed to making sure he never suffers again. Please consider donating to help achieve that goal.
