MAGSR Females Available for Adoption
Bells
Bells and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Beautiful Bells was adored by her owner. She was raised with love, affection, and opportunities to socialize with people and other animals. Unfortunately, when her owner passed away Bells had limited options. Extended family kept an eye on her for a bit, but when storms hit and Bells got loose they decided she could not return. Instead they left her in an exceptionally overcrowded shelter with an uncertain future. Nationally, shelters and rescues are significantly over capacity. There are simply too many animals and not enough placements. Groups across the nation are doing everything they can to save as many lives as possible; however, the reality is many incredible animals do not make it out of shelters alive. Recognizing that Bells' deserved the chance to move forward safely with a family that would cherish her for a lifetime, shelter staff reached out to MAGSR for help. Fortunately, we had an amazing foster family step forward and were able to welcome Bells into the MAGSR family.
Beautiful Bells is young, active, and affectionate. It is beyond obvious that this girl loves her people and has had opportunities to interact with people of all ages. Still learning basic manners, Bells will need to learn to keep all four paws on the ground. However, with clear expectations, consistency, and training, we know that Bells will learn fast. She already knows to sit on command and walks relatively well on leash when the correct equipment is used. Curious about the world around her, Bells has a busy nose but does not pull excessively on leash. She will however need an active family that can provide her with daily opportunities to exercise. Living in a household with kids, cats, and other dogs, Bells is friendly with everyone. She is responsive to the boundaries set by the cat and is comfortable with the dogs in the home. As Bells is new to the MAGSR family, we are still learning about her household manners. At this time, she is crate training and seems to be housebroken. Time will tell on this piece. Structure, routine, and clear expectations are already in place as Bells decompresses from all of the changes in her life. Maintaining this set-up will help Bells continue to make the adjustments she needs to meet with success. Overall, this lovely girl is a go-with-the-flow kind of lady. However, after all she has been through, storms are not her thing and she does need to be kept safe and secure during rough weather.
Bells is looking for a household that will fill her days with joy, treats, and belly rubs and her nights with plenty of soft blankets and cuddles. If this lovely little girl sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet Bells today!
Chloee
Chloee and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Chloee and her sister were absolutely adored by their mom. They grew up in a loving household and knew the joys of being cherished. Unfortunately, when their mom became very ill, she was unable to continue to care for the girls and had to make the heartbreaking decision to surrender them to a local shelter. Shelter staff knew these girls and their mom had been placed in an impossible situation and began working with the girls to find rescue placement. In a perfect world, we would all have a back-up option if something unthinkable were to happen. However, this is not an option in every household. The shelter was able to find Chloee's sister placement, leaving Chloee on her own. Knowing that we would want someone to step forward and help our dog, MAGSR stepped up and welcomed Chloee to the family.
Although both Chloee and her sister did very well together, they each played different roles in the relationship. Chloee was more of the alpha. She looked after the pack and ensured that everyone was safe. As a result, she can be more selective about her friends, particularly, her doggie friends. With clear boundaries and expectations, she has done well. Chloee is also shown that she is often comfortable with smaller creatures, such as cats. Having experienced a lot of change over the last month, lovely Chloee does need a little time to adjust to new people and situations. Once provided with some time and patience to adjust, Chloee has proven to be a sweet and submissive girl. She adores a good belly rub and is beyond happy to cuddle in with her people. Having lived in a home, Chloee does understand many of the ins and outs of living in a household. But, like all new dogs, she will need time to adjust to the structure, routines, and expectations of her forever family. Training will go a long way with this lady. Not only will training help Chloee build a healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Sweet Chloe is looking for a calm and comfortable forever family that will adore her for a lifetime. Could that family be you?
Daisy
Daisy and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Delightful Daisy was originally welcomed to the MAGSR family as a puppy. She was one of Marley's Disney babies. Well socialized for such a young girl and clearly quick witted, Daisy was adopted into an amazing household that cherished this lovely girl. Although her family clearly had every intention of keeping Daisy, when an issue occurred between Daisy and the senior female dog in the household, the decision was made to return her to the MAGSR family. Surrendering a beloved member of the family is never a decision that is made lightly. Daisy's family adored her; however, they knew that she would be more successful if placed in a different home. We know this was not easy for Daisy's family, but we promised to find Daisy an incredible match so that she can move forward and meet with success.
Intelligent, curious, and your typical energetic pup, Daisy is a social girl that doesn't miss a beat. She loves to know what's happening in the world around her and has a good nose. Taking in the smells of everything around her, Daisy can easily tell you everything that's happening in the neighborhood. As is true of all young dogs, Daisy has endless energy. It is critical that her forever family provide her with daily activities and training so that she meets with success. Exercising her body and her mind will help Daisy continue to build the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. With a solid understanding of the joys of endless toys, Daisy is a fan of balls, bones, and plush toys - although she has no qualms about tearing them to shreds. Tough toys are recommended for this lovely girl. Having lived in a home, Daisy is house broken and crate trained already. She understands some basic commands, but like all young pups, she does check to see if the handler will follow through. We all like to test our limits some days, right? When provided with structure, routine, clear expectations, and leadership, Daisy will thrive. Although Daisy has had the opportunity to live in the household, it will take her time to adjust to the expectations of her new family. When provided with time, patience, training, and daily exercise, we know she will meet with success. Daisy is lucky to already know some basic commands; however, it is critical that her family take her to training. Training will, not only help Daisy create a strong and healthy relationship with her forever family, but it will also help her further develop into a stable and confident adult. Besides, training may also come with food rewards from time to time. Daisy is food motivated and excited to start right away!
Daisy is a funny pup with a joyful personality who simply wants to be loved by her person. She is looking for an active family that will take her on adventures during the day and snuggle with her at night. If Daisy sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!
Dixie
Dixie and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Delightful Dixie was picked up as a stray and brought to a shelter. Like so many shelters, the shelter that welcomed Dixie was sitting over capacity. Although shelter staff were doing everything they could to meet the needs of the animals in their care, with numbers significantly over sustainable levels, difficult choices had to be made. Upon her arrival Dixie was at risk to be euthanized; however, she was also quickly winning the hearts of everyone at the shelter. Knowing they likely did not have placement options for Dixie, shelter staff began pleading for rescue help to ensure that Dixie could move forward safely and find a loving family of her very own. When we asked our foster team if they could help Dixie, we were beyond fortunate to have a family step forward.
Dixie is a stunning and sweet little lady. Clearly loved by someone along her journey, Dixie has been well socialized with people and other dogs. She knows that people can be kind, affectionate, and loving. A social and affectionate girl she showers her people with love. A generally calm girl, Dixie is stable and intelligent. She loves her daily walks and settles in nicely with her foster family when it is time to slow down. Although an amazing girl, Dixie, like all shepherds, will benefit greatly from training. Training will not only help Dixie develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen, but it will also help her build a strong and healthy bond with her forever family. We are still learning about Dixie, but we do know that she is a special girl who deserves an amazing forever family.
If this belly rub loving, affectionate girl sounds like the right fit for your family, ask to meet Miss Dixie today!
Hali
Hali and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Sweet Hali was dumped in a busy metropolitan area. Members of the neighborhood saw it happen but weren't able to intervene. With shelters in the area significantly over populated, they were only able to bring in sick or injured dogs. This left Hali out on the streets trying to survive. Fortunately, she remained close to the area where she was originally dumped and community members fed her. Recognizing that Hali was an absolute honey who had found herself in an awful situation, varied members of the community stepped forward to help where they could. Delivery drivers gave her treats and the Amazon drivers in her area even left her blankets in the bed so that she would be as comfortable as possible.
Knowing that Hali would not remain safe if help didn't arrive soon, another rescue intervened and worked to safely trap Hali. With a temp foster home ready to hold onto Hali during her stray hold, she had a safe and warm place to stay once trapped. Although they wanted to ensure her safety so she could move forward, rescues in that area simply did not have an option for her. As a result, once her stray hold was up, they reached out to MAGSR for help. Our team knew that a large number of people had done everything they could to ensure that Hali was safe and loved, but they needed this last piece. Knowing Hali deserved every opportunity to succeed, we welcomed her to the MAGSR family.
Hali is an absolute sweetheart. Given some time to decompress after her time on the street, this lovely girl has done wonderfully in both her temporary foster home and her current foster home. Living with a pack of dogs, Hali has made herself right at home. She loves the comforts of living in a safe household and has been adjusting well to her foster family's routines. As is true of all young GSDs, Hali will be most successful when provided with clear rules, expectations, and leadership. With these key pieces in place, Hali will thrive. Training will go a long way with Hali. Not only will it help her develop a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen.
Unfortunately, we have learned that Hali is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been easily avoided had Hali been provided with heartworm prevention. Knowing that Hali needs treatment in order to move forward, our team is already moving forward with her care. Heartworm treatment is expensive; however, we know that Hali is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating to Hali's care as your donation will not only help Hali move forward, but it will also help us continue to support dogs with medical needs. Hali will need to take it easy over the next few months as she undergoes treatment. Once completed, Hali can continue to enjoy just being a regular dog. If lovely Hali sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet this honey today!
Mila
Mila and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Mila was spotted running loose in the south. Knowing that the area she was in was unsafe, members of the community contacted animal control for help. Mila was picked-up and brought to animal control where she waited patiently for her family to come and claim her. Unfortunately, no one stepped forward for this little love. Shelter staff knew that Mila deserved an amazing forever home that would cherish her; however, with numbers significantly over capacity and adoption adoptions limited, they could not keep her off the list to be euthanized. Recognizing that Mila's only chance at survival was within the safety of a rescue, staff reached out to rescues for help. When MAGSR heard that Mila was out of options, we knew this sweet girl would be safe in our care.
Magical Mila is a goofy, affectionate, and intelligent girl. As an adult shepherd, Mila is stable and well socialized. Although Mila has clearly known love at some point along her journey, we do not know how she found herself alone and wandering. We do know that Mila is special. As a deaf dog, Mila has been navigating her world without sense. Intelligent and beyond excited to learn, Mila has been fortunate to have been placed with one of our training partners - Mason Dixon K9. With daily training, opportunities to continue to socialize, and plenty of time to play, Mila is thriving. It is highly evident that this girl is special. Although we do not know what experiences Mila may have had in a household, we do know that she is ready to learn. With structure, routine, and leadership, Mila will meet with success. She is already learning about crate training as well as basic leash manners. Mila is looking for an amazing family that will provide her with daily exercise, plenty of toys, and endless cuddles. If you are looking for an affectionate girl who will love you for a lifetime, look no further than Mila!
Raina
Raina and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Raina was given to her family by a friend who felt she would be a good match for their household. Although she was clearly loved by her family, Raina struggled in a city environment. As a result, her family made the difficult decision to surrender Raina to MAGSR so that she could find the family and living environment that would help her develop into the incredible girl they knew she could be. Raina is a friendly but driven girl. As is typical of most shepherds, Raina is intelligent, active, and alert. In order to meet with success, Raina will need both her body and mind exercised daily. She is not a couch potato and will do best with an active family. Although Raina is working on her interactions with other dogs, she would prefer a family where she can be the only dog so that she can be the center of attention. Raina is housebroken and crate trained. She also knows a few commands. However, as is true of all shepherds, Raina will need to attend training in order to develop into the amazing shepherd we know she is destined to be. Training will not only help Raina develop into an amazing dog, but it will also help her bond with her new family. If this active lady sounds like a good match for your household, ask to meet her today.
Update:Miss Raina is a remarkable girl.
She’s been in foster here for a little while now, and with each passing day we are more appreciative of her charm: She’s so very sweet, intelligent, and engaging, and though on mature side she is very athletic, agile, active, and extremely highly driven, focused, and determined. She is the proverbial energizer bunny, and she has an outsized chest and huge lung capacity, so incredible endurance. She runs along with the recumbent bike at any speed and for any distance. She is confident and unphased by city sidewalks and streets with their traffic and noise, and is always ready for what’s next. She’s happiest with at least a moderate measure exercise every day, but quality is at least as important as quantity. Her toy drive is off the chart, but mental stimulation and engagement is what she thrives on. And she does spend most of her day happily in a state of calm repose (but is certainly ready to go at the drop of hat, or a toy!). She has proven here that she can get along well with other dogs her size and enjoy their company, she meets people happily and graciously, learns quickly, and has good obedience. But she must have appropriate structure and engagement. If she is bored, frustrated, and improperly managed, she will likely find trouble. She doesn’t need wide open spaces so much as she does leadership and companionship. Miss Raina will thrive and offer the biggest love to someone who understands her and can give her the love, leadership, and lifestyle she so richly deserves. Please let her know if you’d like to interview for that labor of love!
Rory
Rory and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Regal Rory was originally welcomed to the MAGSR family as a puppy. She was one of the Baseball Puppies. Having lived with an amazing foster family, Rory had developed a good foundation of social skills and was adopted into a loving household. Although her family had every intention of loving Rory for a lifetime, when a family dynamic shifted, the decision was made that it was in Rory's best interest to return her to the MAGSR family. Surrendering a cherished member of the family is never a decision that is made lightly. Rory's family adored her; however, they knew that she would be more successful if placed in a different home. We know this was not easy for Rory's family, but we promised to find her an incredible match so that she can move forward and meet with success.
In many ways still a puppy, Rory is young, energetic, and curious about the world around her. However, having left the home she expected to remain in for the rest of her life, she is a little unsure right now. Recognizing that Rory will need some time to decompress and adjust to new people and environments, our team is working with her to help her meet with success. Rory's new family will need to ensure that she is given time, patience, structure, and routine in her new household. This will help lovely Rory thrive. Once comfortable, Rory is a playful and loving girl. She enjoys toys and loves to learn new tricks. When playtime is finished, Rory is an expert cuddler. She is a great balance of joy and affection. Having lived in a loving home, Rory understands many of the ins and outs of living in a household. She is both housebroken and crate trained. However, as is true of all new dogs, she will need time to learn the specific expectations of her new family. Training will be beyond helpful for Rory. Not only will training help Rory build a strong bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen.
Rory is looking for a patient household that enjoys daily activities with a good cuddle session thrown in from time to time throughout the day. If this little love is the right match for your family, ask to meet Rory today!
Snow
Snow and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Sweet Snow was pulled from an overcrowded shelter over a year ago by another rescue. She had given birth in the shelter and was kept there while the puppies still needed her. However, once the pups were old enough they were adopted and Snow was left behind. As is true for entirely too many mommies in shelters, once the puppies found forever homes Snow was added to the list to be euthanized. Puppies, when healthy, often find their way home, but older family members are left behind. With shelter numbers in the critical ranges everywhere, this means many of the moms and dads left behind do not make it out alive.
Fortunately, another rescue stepped forward just in time and saved Snow's life. They walked her through heartworm treatment and got Snow all of the vetting she needed to meet with success. Although they thought they had found the perfect home for this pretty girl, unfortunately, she was returned when a serious medical condition was discovered with her adopter. Knowing Snow would be most successful with a breed specific rescue, we were asked to transfer Snow into our care. Knowing this special momma was the right fit for the MAGSR family, our team welcomed her without a second thought.
Snow is an adorable girl. Happy, playful, and a bundle of joy, Snow keeps our volunteers smiling from ear to ear. Well socialized with people and clearly comfortable having been exposed to other dogs, this momma has an amazing personality that she can't wait to share with her forever family. True of so many shepherds, Snow reads the handler well. With clear routines, expectations, and leadership, this lady settles in nicely. Having lived in a home, Snow understands many of the ins and outs of living in a home. However, as is true of all new dogs, Snow will need time and patience to adjust to her forever family. Training will be essential to her success. Not only will training help Snow develop a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, it will also help her gain the skills needed to become a good canine citizen.
Snow is looking for a forever family that enjoys a nice balance of daily playtime and a good snuggle. If Snow is the right match for your family, ask to meet her today.
Update:Snow has settled in and a personality has emerged. She's energetic, loves playing fetch both indoors and out. Drops the tennis ball at your feet. Knows basic commands. Indoors fetch she leapt the 3 stairs from den to mudroom. Spends a fair bit of the day in her crate, door open. So far we only closed crate door couple times - we went to an O's game on Friday. She sleeps in our BR sometimes, on one of the pup throw rugs. She's dropped a few pounds with all her new activity and is working her way to her ideal weight. She would be a great addition to home, might that be your home?
Really sweet, follows us around.
Comfortable on stairs.
