Arya and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
In some places animals are not valued the way you might expect. They are used and often discarded without a second thought. Arya and her sister, Nasauda, were caught up in this practice when they were discarded like trash without the ability to protect or defend themselves. Although many dogs experience this type of abandonment, only the lucky ones survive. This little litter was lucky and the right people found them and brought them to safety. Another rescue welcomed the girls and immediately began providing them with the care, attention, and love they needed to pull through. With the right supports in place, the girls thrived. However, with numbers at catastrophic levels across shelters and rescues, the girls were struggling to find their forever homes. Recognizing that they may be more successful in a breed specific rescue, these little loves were transferred to the MAGSR family. We have promised both girls that we will find them incredible forever families that will love them for a lifetime.
Having lived in a loving and experienced home both girls have been building a solid foundation of skills. They are friendly, social, and affectionate. As socialization is critical to their success, it is imperative that their forever families continue this process as Arya and Nasauda move forward. Living with kids, dogs, and a bunny, these little ladies are doing a wonderful job with everyone. They are quite the impressive pair. Having lived in a foster home, both girls have begun to learn the ins and outs of living in a household. They are pee pad trained and have begun learning to go outside to take care of their business. They have also begun learning how to walk on leash with harnesses and seem to be picking up skills quickly. We can't wait to see what they learn next! As is true of any new pup, Arya and Nasauda will excel with structure, routine, and leadership. They are eager to learn and full of puppy joy.
Although Arya and Nasauda are beyond adorable, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience, and routine, we know both girls will shine. If you are looking for daily giggles, puppy breath, and snuggles, ask to meet lovely Arya today!
Update:They are absolutely adorable and very sweet. They have amazing noses and have been using them. Plus, they haven’t eaten any of the children’s toys (yet)! What's more surprising is that even though the sisters had to take many plane rides and car trips to get up to MAGSR from the south, they never had any car sickness or issues - these cuties are troopers! It seems these girls are very clever as both girls, if not completely housebroken, are super close. They do seem to be crate trained already. While they may need a second initially to say hello to new people, they do warm up quickly and their fosters are still helping set them up for success by getting them as much socialization as possible. They are highly treat motivated and very responsive to verbal commands - they're just both a good little set of babies.
Update:
She loves other dogs and has been around a lot of different ones in the past weeks. Almost house trained (we take her out often but she doesn’t alert us just yet), loves affection, pets, treats, snuggles and toys! She is a very go-with-the-flow kind of girl. She is crate trained and has not chomped on any shoes or furniture. We love her a lot which means she's going to be a fabulous dog for some lucky family!
Carley
Carley and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Cuddly Carley was picked up in the south as a stray and brought to animal control. As is true for shelters across the country, this sweetheart found herself in a shelter that was significantly over capacity and needed help in order to move forward. Fortunately, the shelter team knew that options for Carley were limited but that this sweetheart deserved to find a forever family of her very own. So, they reached out to MAGSR for help. Our team agreed that Carley was special and deserved a chance to move forward. A plan began to be put into place for Carley. Volunteers from the shelter where she was located, volunteers from Pilots and Paws, and volunteers from MAGSR came together to move Carley up the coast into a loving MAGSR foster home. Teamwork really does make the dream work.
Charismatic Carley is friendly, affectionate, and rather calm for her age and breed. Her overall easy-going personality has won over the hearts of everyone who has met her. We don't know anything about her past; however, it is beyond obvious that someone along her journey loved Carley and made sure she was socialized appropriately. In addition to people, Carley has done well with other dogs and has yet to show any reactions to cats. This is very impressive for a stray as staying alive often requires some prey drive. Without any knowledge of her previous life, we are going slow in our introductions to household living. However, we know that Carley, like all GSDs, will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. Her foster family is working to ensure that Carley understands the expectations in the household and meets with success. As is true for all new dogs, it is critical that her forever family provide Carley with time and patience to adjust to their household routines. Training will go a long way with Carley. Not only will training help her bond to her new family, but it will also help her develop the skills to become a good canine citizen.
Unfortunately, Carley is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided had she been kept up to date with preventatives. Knowing that Carley needed to move forward with treatment, the shelter began the first steps in this process and our team has taken over care. Heartworm treatment is expensive, but we know Carley is worth more than the cost. Please consider donating to Carley's care. Your donation will not only help Carley, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs to the MAGSR family. Carley will need to take it easy over the next couple of months during treatment. However, we already know that she will be good at that. This little lady would love to be recuperating in a home of her very own. If Carley sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her 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?
Cloud
Cloud and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
This lovely lady found herself in the care of a rescue determined to place her in a safe and loving home. That rescue later reached out for help with some of the dogs in their care, and as we all know, teamwork makes the dream work, so MAGSR didn't think twice before stepping forward to assist.
Cloud is the kind of dog who leaves an impression you won’t soon forget. With her kind eyes, sweet spirit, and gentle way of moving through the world, it’s hard not to fall in love. A sensitive soul at heart, Cloud has been through a lot and responds best to slow, soft introductions and a gentle, patient handler - someone who understands that dogs who’ve had a tough past deserve the time and space to build trust. She’ll likely need a little more decompression time than most dogs when settling into a new space, but the rewards of her trust are well worth the wait. Given that a calmer, more consistent environment will help set her up for success, this sweetheart may struggle around little kids. A charming companion, Cloud gets along well with cats and other dogs; she prefers large male dogs whose steady presence helps her feel more secure.
While she might take a moment to settle in with new people and surroundings, this affectionate girl warms up more quickly when there are treats involved. When she opens up, her bright, playful personality emerges, revealing a funny, friendly pup who’s eager to connect and explore. Whip-smart and athletic, Cloud has amazing potential, with the right guidance and continued training. Not only will additional training allow her to fine-tune her manners, it will also allow her to build and strengthen a bond with her forever family. If you’re someone who values a pup with depth, sweetness, and just the right dash of playfulness, Cloud might be your perfect match. To witness her quiet, endearing magic in person, ask to meet her today.
Cloud had a great weekend at Lake Anna. Lots of firsts for her! As expected, it took her a day to settle into her new surroundings, but she LOVED the acre of fenced in wooded yard. The deck gave her a chance to practice stairs. Her great accomplishment was successfully navigating a full flight of stairs, which is a skill she brought back with her and has been proudly displaying.
She loves to be brushed and seems fine with being pet and handled provided it is slow and gentle.
She is VERY affectionate and loving. We are working on manners as she can be a bit enthusiastic in expressing her affection. She jumps up, and anxiously paws with her strong toenails to seek attention. We are working on “all four in the floor” and “sit” to request to be pet. A gentle nose nudge is ok, too. She is a quick study and seems to be catching on.
She is warming up to other members of the family, but is definitely most comfortable with her chosen person. Slow calm movements and a serene environment are best for this sensitive girl. She routinely lets out a yelp as if she has been stepped on when someone just walks by her, even from a few feet away, or if they are carrying are object. Any fast movements or loud voices set her off as well.
Interestingly, she is a very curious girl. She was fascinated by the boats on the lake and is curious about dogs and people on our walks (we don’t engage, but praise for calm acknowledgement). When we took her down to our dock, to our surprise, Cloud jumped off into deep water and swam. She was very calm as we guided her ashore. It looked like she was new to swimming, but definitely enjoyed it as she wanted to go back in.
Tuesday will be two weeks since her arrival and she has come so far since then. When she first arrived she would squeak and pace for hours. Now, it is heartwarming to hear her flop onto the ground and let out classic GSD sighs of contentment as she settles in for a long nap :) She still has long way to go to learn to trust, but she is coming along and her sweet, playful personality is beginning to emerge. She will make someone a very lovely companion.
Update:
Update 9 July: Cloud is doing great! We are away for a “girls’ weekend” at the lake and she is loving life. It is a joy to see her relaxed and in her element. We’ve had some huge thunderstorms-real loud boomers, and she remains calm continuing to eat her dinner! If her “person” is nearby, this girl is curious and confident.
Today, she had her first visit with a non family member since she joined us and she did great! Quite the guard dog she alerted to the guest’s arrival, but quickly welcomed our visitor when I assured her they were ok to come inside. She has just about mastered “all four on the floor” even in the midst of her excitement, and she often spontaneously demonstrates her “polite sit” to be pet.
A true love bug, she is always looking to love on you. She is very much a go with the flow kind of girl, happy to relax and nap while you read, do work, or watch a movie; and just as happy to be active outside to play, go for a walk or hike. She adores the car and likes short and long rides; we are all thrilled that she knows how to jump in by herself!
Cordelia
Cordelia and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Stunning Cordelia was picked up as a stray and brought to a local shelter with another young female GSD - Cressida. The two girls waited patiently for families to come and claim them. However, after waiting for a month, when no one stepped forward, shelter staff began working with the girls to find amazing forever families. Although they began teaching the girls basic commands and even began working with a local trainer, GSDs often struggle in the shelter environment as they require a more stable, calm, and predictable environment. Recognizing that Cordelia and Cressida would be more successful within a breed-specific rescue, both girls were transferred into MAGSR's care. Our team made sure that both girls settled into loving foster homes where they would have everything they needed to meet with success.
Cordelia is young, interactive, and very intelligent. Clearly a true representative of the breed, this adorable girl has many typical GSD traits; she is loyal, energetic, and protective of her family. Although clearly socialized with other dogs and people prior to her arrival at the shelter, Cordelia prefers a slow introduction to new people. Once given time to adjust, she is affectionate and interactive. As Cordelia moves forward, it is critical that her forever family continue to develop her socialization skills in a controlled manner with new people and varied environments. Training will also go a long way with Cordelia. Not only will training help this girl 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. True of all shepherds, Cordelia will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. Although we do not know much about this girl's past, we do know she has some foundation. Cordelia is already housebroken and crate trained. She enjoys the comforts of living with an incredible foster family and is quickly learning the ins and outs of living in their home. Treats are always welcome and Cordelia is happy to work for something special. However, so far she doesn't seem to understand the joys of toys. Not to worry, her foster family will continue to give her plenty of opportunities to play.
Cordelia is a young pup full of potential. If she sounds like the perfect companion for your household, ask to meet her today!
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!
Fawn
Fawn and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Fabulous Fawn and her sister, Fern, were surrendered to a shelter with six litter mates. Known as the F litter, these babies entered into a system overwhelmed with what seems like an endless flow of animals in need and not enough safe places to put them. Shelter Staff were doing everything possible to keep up — spaying/neutering, working with rescue, and advocating tirelessly — but the number of homeless animals kept growing by the day, putting them at a critical breaking point. With eight little souls in their care and nowhere to safely place them, an urgent plea was sent out to the GSD rescue community. Three groups, including MAGSR, stepped forward to save the litter. With such a large litter, teamwork made it possible for all the babies to move into rescue placements. As part of the team effort MAGSR welcomed precious Fern and Fawn and placed both girls directly into loving foster homes.
Excited to bask in the comfort and safety of amazing homes, both girls are settling in well with their foster families. Although we are still getting to know both Fern and Fawn, they have proven to be friendly, affectionate, and playful little ladies. Over the next few days, both girls will begin learning the ins and outs of living in a home. Clearly smart little ladies, we are sure they will pick up quickly.
Although both Fawn and Fern are beyond adorable, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience, and leadership we know Fern and Fawn are going to develop into good canine citizens. If you’re looking for a sweet pup to fill your home with laughter, tail wags, and unconditional love, Fawn might just be your perfect match. She’s a blank slate ready to grow into an amazing companion with the right person or family by her side.
Update:Fawn has settled into her foster home very nicely. She gets along wonderfully with her look-alike MAGSR cousin Sadie, our two and a half year old. They love playing but also know when to chill out. The topic of who's stick it really is is always up for debate, however. She's great in the car and enjoys exploring the park. Fawn is going to be a wonderful loving part of someone's family.
Fiona
Fiona and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Fiona was beyond adored by her family. When they welcomed her into their home as a young pup, they expected to be together for a lifetime. Unfortunately, sometimes life doesn't work out the way we intended. When circumstances changed, Fiona's family knew their special girl deserved more than they could provide. So, they made the heart wrenching decision to find Fiona a safe and loving rescue placement. This decision is never easy; however, Fiona's family did what they knew was best for their fluffy girl. When asked if we could welcome Fiona into the family, team MAGSR immediately began working together to put a plan in place to move her forward. We promised her family we would find this special girl an amazing forever family that would cherish her for a lifetime.
Fiona is an impressive girl. Smart, responsive, and eager to learn, Fiona has a delightful personality that simply evokes endless smiles from her handlers. Clearly well socialized, Fiona enjoys interacting with people. She is bouncy, goofy, and full of endless energy. Typical of the breed, Fiona is a very active girl. She will require an active family that can provide her with daily exercise for both her body and her mind. This is critical to her success as it will help Fiona maintain her playful yet stable personality. As an over-the-top joyful personality, Fiona can be vocal with new furry friends. She simply becomes so excited that she struggles to contain herself. However, when placed with a calm, responsive, and clear handler, Fiona can follow the lead of the handler. Having lived in a loving household, Fiona knows many of the ins and outs of living in a home. She is housebroken, crate trained, and is accustomed to a set routine. As is true of all new dogs, Fiona will need time to adjust to the routines and expectations of her forever family. With time, patience, structure, and training, we know that Fiona will excel. Although Fiona has some manners already in place, it is critical that her new family participate in training. Not only will training help Fiona build a healthy relationship with her forever family, it will also help her develop the skills and strategies needed to become a good canine citizen.
Fabulous Fiona is looking for an adventurous family that will keep her busy during the day and provide her with plenty of snuggles at night. If this amazing girl sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet Fiona 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!
Update:Over the past two weeks, sweet Hali has shown us what true resilience looks like. She gracefully wore her surgical pajamas and sported a double-cone combo with style and strength through her 14-day recovery period. Every step of the way, she’s reminded us what a little fighter she is.
On Monday, July 7th, Hali visited her primary care veterinarian, Paradise Animal Hospital, for a post-op checkup. She was a champ — spending most of the appointment cuddled in her foster mom's lap while the vet team performed a wellness check, administered vaccines, and took a blood sample. The good news: Hali was officially cleared to go cone- and PJ-free! She was over the moon — finally able to move freely and get back to just being a happy dog. The not-so-good news: Hali’s microfilaria test came back positive. It was a disappointing surprise, as we were all hoping for a full clean bill of health. Because of this, her activity will be limited for another month as we give her preventatives time to work. We’re staying hopeful that this next stage of treatment does the trick — paws crossed!
Hali has already come so far, but she’s not quite in the clear yet. We’re asking for your help to continue supporting her care as we tackle this final hurdle. Your donations go directly toward her medications, follow-up visits, and continued recovery. Hali is truly one of a kind — a gentle, loving soul who deserves every chance at a healthy, happy life. If you’re able, please consider donating to her ongoing care. Every dollar helps, and every share spreads the word. Thank you for standing by Hali’s side. Let’s get her across the finish line — together.
Lilliana
Lilliana and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Lovely Lilliana was picked up as a stray and brought to an overcrowded shelter. Her story is similar to so many dogs that end up in crowded runs hoping that they will be the lucky one to make it out alive. Although shelter staff work tirelessly to find the animals in their care safe and loving placements, sometimes the numbers of animals and needs are beyond overwhelming. The shelter where Lilliana was located was so inundated with dogs that she was overlooked until it was almost too late. Scheduled to be euthanized, another rescue realized that Lilliana needed a miracle. They knew she would be an incredible match for the right household but they didn't have an opening for her. Knowing that MAGSR may have an option for Lilliana, they reached out. We knew we couldn't let this little girl lose her light. So, with an incredible team effort the rescue community came together and pulled Lilliana before it was too late.
Lilliana is definitely filled with light and love. Friendly, easy to handle, and a lover, it is highly obvious that this girl was loved along her journey. A huge fan of the outdoors, Lilliana is easy to leash up and enjoys being outside. Joyful and playful, Lilliana will happily bounce around outside but is also content to get pets and love. Typical of the breed, Lilliana will be most successful in an environment where both her body and mind are exercised on a daily basis. Training will go a long way with this gorgeous girl. Not only will training help her develop a healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her build the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Although we do not know anything about her past, we have discovered that Lilliana is already housebroken and crate trained. However, she doesn't always love the crate and can do some talking. Like any new dog, Lilliana will thrive with structure, routine, leadership, and clear expectations. This will help her adjust to the expectations of her forever family.
Unfortunately, Lillian is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided had she been kept up to date with preventatives. Knowing that Lilliana needed to move forward with treatment, the rescue began the first steps in this process and our team already has plans for next steps. Heartworm treatment is expensive, but we know that lovely little Lillian is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating to Lilliana's care. Your donation will not only help Lilliana, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs to the MAGSR family. Lilliana will need to take it easy over the next couple of months during treatment. However, this will help her take the time to decompress and adjust to her forever family. If Lilliana sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet this girl today.
Lucie

Lucie and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Little Lucie was found at animal services by another amazing rescue. Recognizing that this lovely girl needed a safe option to move forward, they welcomed Lucie into their care. Lucie was showered with love and care - exactly what she needed. When visiting with one of our volunteers, a conversation about next steps for Lucie came about. Lucie was clearly a good girl but could use a little support with confidence. Knowing we had an option available that would provide Lucie with exactly what she needed to move forward, we welcomed her to the MAGSR family.
Little Lucie is an absolute sweetheart. Intelligent, responsive, and affectionate, this girl has already brought endless smiles to our volunteers. Still very young, Lucie is in many ways still a puppy. She is goofy, playful, and active. As is true with all of our young dogs, Lucie will need continued socialization in order to meet with success. Opportunities to learn about new people and animals in a variety of safe and controlled environments will help Lucy continue to learn about the world around her. Training will also be critical to Lucie's success. Not only will training help Lucie build a healthy and lasting bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills she needs to become a good canine citizen. Lucie is a lucky girl and has been placed with one of our amazing training partners - Mason Dixon K9. They are already working with Lucie to develop her confidence and obedience. She is already learning so much. As she moves forward, continued training to enhance Lucie's skills will continue to strengthen her foundation. As a little pocket rocket, this little lady may even be a good candidate for agility. Crate trained already, Lucie can't wait to find a family of her very own. She hopes to fill her days with playtime, activities, and cuddles.
Lucie is a joyful girl who is looking for a family that will love her for a lifetime. If this little love sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet Lucie 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!
Nasauda

Nasauda and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
In some places animals are not valued the way you might expect. They are used and often discarded without a second thought. Nasauda and her sister, Arya, were caught up in this practice when they were discarded like trash without the ability to protect or defend themselves. Although many dogs experience this type of abandonment, only the lucky ones survive. This little litter was lucky and the right people found them and brought them to safety. Another rescue welcomed the girls and immediately began providing them with the care, attention, and love they needed to pull through. With the right supports in place, the girls thrived. However, with numbers at catastrophic levels across shelters and rescues, the girls were struggling to find their forever homes. Recognizing that they may be more successful in a breed specific rescue, these little loves were transferred to the MAGSR family. We have promised both girls that we will find them incredible forever families that will love them for a lifetime.
Having lived in a loving and experienced home both girls have been building a solid foundation of skills. They are friendly, social, and affectionate. As socialization is critical to their success, it is imperative that their forever families continue this process as Nasauda and Arya move forward. Living with kids, dogs, and a bunny, these little ladies are doing a wonderful job with everyone. They are quite the impressive pair. Having lived in a foster home, both girls have begun to learn the ins and outs of living in a household. They are pee pad trained and have begun learning to go outside to take care of their business. They have also begun learning how to walk on leash with harnesses and seem to be picking up skills quickly. We can't wait to see what they learn next! As is true of any new pup, Nasauda and Arya will excel with structure, routine, and leadership. They are eager to learn and full of puppy joy.
Although Nasauda and Arya are beyond adorable, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience, and routine, we know both girls will shine. If you are looking for daily smiles, puppy breath, and cuddles, ask to meet sweet Nasauda today!
Update:They are absolutely adorable and very sweet. They have amazing noses and have been using them. Plus, they haven’t eaten any of the children’s toys (yet)! What's more surprising is that even though the sisters had to take many plane rides and car trips to get up to MAGSR from the south, they never had any car sickness or issues - these cuties are troopers! It seems these girls are very clever as both girls, if not completely housebroken, are super close. They do seem to be crate trained already. While they may need a second initially to say hello to new people, they do warm up quickly and their fosters are still helping set them up for success by getting them as much socialization as possible. They are highly treat motivated and very responsive to verbal commands - they're just both a good little set of babies.
Update:
Nasuada is doing good at her Foster home. She is progressing well with potty training and getting along with the resident dog.
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!
Sheeba
Sheeba and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Striking Sheeba is a stunning 2-year-old German Shepherd with a quiet strength and a heart full of hope. Abandoned at a boarding facility in the south alongside her housemate, Xema, Sheeba spent nearly a year waiting for a family that never came back. Thanks to a local rescue and the support of MAGSR, Sheeba now has a chance to find the loving home she’s been waiting for.
A gentle, observant girl, Sheeba takes her time to warm up, but once she does, her loyalty runs deep. Her calm presence and affectionate nature make her a truly special and steady companion for someone who appreciates a dog with quiet grace. True to her clever nature, this girl is ready to learn and would benefit greatly from continued training. She’s intelligent and responsive, and with the right guidance, she’ll gain confidence and develop into a well-mannered, trusting companion. Training will not only help her adjust to home life after so long in a kennel; it will also strengthen the bond between Sheeba and her future family.
Spirited Sheeba would do best in a home without small animals, including little dogs, cats, rabbits, or chickens. Her ideal environment is one where she can feel secure and thrive without the stress of managing prey-like distractions. Ideally, she is looking for a calm, stable environment with parents who understand the importance of routine, gentle leadership, and patience. A home committed to helping her learn and grow will help her blossom into the loyal companion she’s meant to be.
If you’re someone who sees the beauty in resilience and values a dog with depth, devotion, and untapped potential, Sheeba might be your perfect match. She’s ready to leave her past behind and begin a new chapter, with someone who believes in her. Come meet Sheeba and experience the quiet magic of a dog who’s ready to love—and be loved—wholeheartedly. Think she might be the missing piece in your home? Ask to meet her today!
Taffy
Taffy and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
This lovely lady was in an overcrowded shelter, and just before her time was up, she was rescued by another group dedicated to making sure she's placed in a safe and loving home. That rescue later reached out for help with some of the dogs in their care, and as we all know, teamwork makes the dream work, so MAGSR didn't think twice before stepping forward to assist.
Taffy has been lucky to land in a foster home where she's finally getting the opportunities a young, energetic girl needs. Her amazing fosters have been helping her learn about the joys of being a puppy and taking in the world around her. With her fresh, sponge-like mind, this resilient girl is learning housebreaking, crate training, and polite behaviors that will lay the foundation for a well-mannered adult life. While she is still fine-tuning general manners on leash, she's got a great start and will benefit significantly as all young dogs do from continued training. Living with older rescue dogs, Taffy is quickly learning the ins and outs of pack life. She gets along really well with the other dogs and wouldn't mind landing in a forever home with another friendly pup to play with - or at least more consistent socialization so she can keep learning to speak 'dog'! Highly intelligent and observant, Taffy notices everything around her. She loves adults but struggles around small children. Without a high prey drive, she did well when tested with a cat; in fact, she was more afraid of the cat than anything else. With structure, routine, leadership, and clear expectations from a calm and confident handler, Taffy will blossom into an amazing adult. She'd like to continue her daily physical and mental exercise, all while building and strengthening her bond with her forever family - could that be you?
Zazoo
Zazoo and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:
Lovely Zazoo lived in a loving home with kids and another dog. Unfortunately, when the family was unable to remain in their home, they could not find housing that would allow them to keep their dogs. As a result, they made the difficult decision to surrender the dogs to a local shelter. This is never an easy decision. However, sometimes families have simply run out of options. Shelter staff welcomed Zazoo into their care and made sure she had everything she needed to meet with success. Unfortunately, with shelters sitting at or above capacity, staff knew that Zazoo would be most successful if she was placed within a breed specific rescue. Knowing Zazoo would be a great addition to the MAGSR family, our team was thrilled to welcome her.
Zazoo is a stunning girl. Friendly, active, and smart this lady truly embodies the traits of a GSD. As is true of most shepherds, Zazoo will be most successful in a home that will exercise both her body and her mind on a daily basis. This will help her maintain her stable and confident personality. Having lived in a home previously, Zazoo did well with the children in the home. However, as is typical of the breed, she can be protective of the household. With some clear prey drive in place, Zazoo is not suited for a home with small animals or cats. She is already housebroken, crate trained, and knows many of the ins and outs of living in a home. It is important that her forever family, provide her with structure, routine, and leadership so that Zazoo can adapt to the expectations of her forever home. Well aquainted with toys, Zazoo loves to play and can entertain herself or interact with others.
Although Zazoo lived in a home, she does need to learn some leash manners. Our team is already starting this process. Training will go a long way with Zazoo. Not only will training help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen, it will also help her build a strong and healthy bond with her forever family. If sweet Zazoo sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!
