MAGSR Females Available for Adoption

Astra is a young, gorgeous girl who was found scared and fending for herself near a busy road. She was understandably scared and needed a little convincing that the people around her were there to help. Astra is a smart girl though, and it didn't take long for her to realize that her saviors were trustworthy folks- very soon after rescue she was showing to be an affectionate girl who had clearly had human and dog socialization in her short life. So she waited for her family to come and claim her...and was left waiting. Seeing that Astra deserves a family that understands the breed, the shelter contacted MAGSR to ensure that Astra got the happily ever after that she so deserves. 

Astra craves attention, routine and mental stimulation. She loves to be brushed and doted upon, and she has exhibited good social skills with other dogs. She wants to be with her people and is a willing training partner, once she has a chance to warm up to her handler. Astra has started to learn some basic obedience-- walking on a leash and basic commands-- and will need a family dedicated to continuing to teach her manners and provide structure and routine in order to be a productive member of doggy society. Astra is kind hearted and smart as a whip, but she does appreciate a slow hand and someone willing to allow her to pause, assess and adjust before pressing forward with handling and training. Slow intros to new people, pets and surroundings allow her to use her sheppie smarts to realize she is safe and secure in new situations. Due to her stressful time spent near a busy road, Astra is particularly skittish near roads, so she will need a steady handler to teach her that traffic is to be respected, but not feared, and extra care should be taken to keep a tight hand on the leash as she learns to trust. Like any young shepherd, Astra's ideal family will be prepared to give her physical outlets as well- she is ready to run and play and needs a family that can keep up with her! 

Astra longs for a forever family that can help her gain the confidence to truly bloom into the gorgeous dog we see on the outside. Could your family be the happily ever after that she so deserves? 

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

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

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

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

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

Miss Gretel has spent the first four years of her life surviving, not thriving. When you think of a dog's favorite things you probably picture a soft bed, quality time with the family, and a deep full toy chest-- but Gretel never got to experience such luxuries in her former life. She's never had a family to snuggle and spoil her and as such she has had to rely upon the kindness of a few to keep her fed and comfortable. When a small window of opportunity opened for Gretel, a dedicated team came together to make sure she could quickly move forward into the care of the MAGSR family and offer her a new start. While this sweet girl doesn't know it yet, MAGSR is on the lookout for a family she can truly call her own that will shower her with all the love she has deserved.

Despite her different start, Gretel is an intelligent, active, and incredibly sweet girl. Gretel loves attention and is a friendly girl to those she meets. Gretel has shown some displeasure when restrained for vetting and general handling, which is likely a quirk from her previous situation. Going slow and advocating for Gretel with training and proper restraining techniques will be key as she learns to trust more people in her circle. True to her breed, she thrives with structure, routine, and confident leadership.  Since Gretel has never lived in a loving home before, she is only now beginning to learn the routines and comforts of family life. She will need patience, consistency, and a clear routine as she adjusts to her new surroundings. Training will be incredibly important for this special girl — not only to help her build the skills needed to become a confident canine citizen, but also to strengthen the bond with the family lucky enough to call her their own.

Gretel is searching for a family willing to give her the love and security she has always deserved. In return, she promises unwavering loyalty, endless affection, and a friendly companion for life. If Gretel sounds like the perfect addition to your family, please ask to meet her today.

Kya is a stunning young female German Shepherd who effortlessly turns heads wherever she goes. Having lived in a loving home since she was a puppy, Kya has a strong foundation and understands many of the ins and outs of living in a household. She is already housebroken and crate trained, making her transition into a new home much easier. However, as is true of all GSDs, she will need time, patience, and structure while she adjusts to her new household. 

Highly intelligent and full of drive, Kya is a dog who truly enjoys working and learning. Her family recognized her motivation early on and provided opportunities for socialization and training from a young age. As Kya matured, it became clear that she needed a home capable of meeting her higher-level needs—both mentally and physically. Kya thrives when she has a purpose and requires daily outlets to exercise her body and challenge her mind. Advanced training, agility, or a job of her own would be excellent fits for this talented girl.

Although her family adored her, they made the difficult and selfless decision to surrender Kya to MAGSR, knowing she needed more than they could provide. Kya is not a couch potato. She is seeking an active, experienced home that will embrace her energy, intelligence, and drive. This girl is incredibly handler-focused and reads her person well. With calm, consistent, and clear leadership, she truly excels. She will thrive in a home that provides structure, routine, and clear expectations, allowing her to reach her full potential.

Kya is ready to find a family of her very own—one that will appreciate her abilities and help her shine. If this lovely girl sounds like the right match for your home, please ask to meet her today!

Lovely Lexi is the complete package. Unlike so many dogs in shelters and rescues, Lexi has a full, known history because since she was just a puppy, she has lived in a loving home. In fact Lexi's family loved her so much that when their circumstances changed to a degree that they couldn't offer her the same life she was accustomed to, they prioritized her safety and well being over their own hearts and surrendered her to MAGSR, trusting that we would give her a soft spot to land and the best chance at a fulfilling life. 

Gentle and sweet, Lexi is the life of the party- the kind of dog that doesn't know strangers- just friends she hasn't met yet. She is a bright and vibrant girl with a good deal of energy and a true zest for life. She has grown up loving children and other dogs, being very well socialized via playdates and doggy daycares. Lexi knows a few basic commands, and is a quick learner, but her exuberance and young energy means she will need continued work to learn proper manners such as not jumping up on people and counters, or pulling on the leash when she sees a squirrel or a new friend. Training will be fundamental in helping solidify a bond between Lexi and a new family, teaching her boundaries and allowing her to be a good citizen and a welcome addition to all of your adventures. 

Like many shepherds, Lexi wants to be your shadow, close at heel and always looking for a gentle scratch and a kind word. She lives to please! She is also a well balanced gal, enjoying a good romp in the yard and play time before a solid snuggle on the couch with her favorite people. She truly just wants to share her love with a family who loves her back-- could you be lucky enough to be that family?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Not all mothers get to bring their babies into the world surrounded by love, safety, and comfort. Sadly, Moonlight and her nine puppies — affectionately known as the Island Litter — were found in a heartbreaking state: malnourished, filthy, flea-infested, and utterly neglected. Confiscated by animal control and placed in a shelter, this vulnerable family was at high risk. But thanks to the quick work of compassionate rescuers and foster volunteers, they were pulled to safety.

From the moment Moonlight arrived in foster care, her strength and sweetness shone through. Despite the suffering she endured, she remained attentive to her pups and incredibly responsive to her caregivers. With medical care, nutritious food, and gentle handling, Moonlight and her babies began to heal — body and soul.

Today, Moonlight is thriving. She is smart, alert, affectionate, and energetic — everything you’d expect from a classic German Shepherd. She’s always ready for a new adventure and loves interactive time with her people. Her resilient spirit, loyal nature, and engaging personality make her truly special. As a dog with drive, Moonlight loves toys and activity — but she also has a strong prey instinct. For that reason, she is not a candidate for a home with cats or other small animals. However, she is social with other dogs and may do well with a compatible canine companion.

To give Moonlight the best start in her new life, MAGSR has partnered with Mason Dixon K9 to help her build foundational obedience skills. She is currently working on her training, and continued structured training will be essential in helping her grow into the confident, well-balanced dog we know she can be. Her ideal family will provide guidance, consistency, and plenty of love.

Moonlight has already endured more than most dogs experience in a lifetime — and she’s come through with grace and heart. Now, she deserves the very best: a forever home filled with security, adventure, and unconditional love. Apply today to bring Moonlight home. Help her leave the past behind and step fully into the bright, joyful future she’s been waiting for.

Poppy’s story is one of quiet resilience and hope. She has never had the chance to experience the comfort of a loving home, a soft bed, or the joy of truly belonging to a family of her own. Still, throughout her life, caring hands made sure she was fed, clean, and as comfortable as possible. And sometimes, when the right people step in at just the right time, everything changes for the better. When a small window of opportunity opened for Poppy, a dedicated team came together to make sure she could quickly move forward into the care of the MAGSR family. From that moment on, one promise was made to this deserving girl — that she would someday find a family who would love and cherish her for the rest of her life.

Poppy is an intelligent, active, and incredibly sweet girl. True to her breed, she thrives with structure, routine, and confident leadership. Beneath her shepherd spirit is a cuddly girl who firmly believes she’s actually a 20-pound lap dog and will gladly soak up every extra snuggle offered to her. A true velcro dog, Poppy loves being close to her people and will happily serve as a constant furry shadow around the home. She’s also a huge fan of stuffed toys and hopes her forever family has plenty of stuffies ready so she can pick out her favorite entertainment each day. Since Poppy has never lived in a loving home before, she is only now beginning to learn the routines and comforts of family life. She will need patience, consistency, and a clear routine as she adjusts to her new surroundings. Training will be incredibly important for this special girl — not only to help her build the skills needed to become a confident canine citizen, but also to strengthen the bond with the family lucky enough to call her their own.

Poppy is searching for a family willing to give her the love and security she has always deserved. In return, she promises unwavering loyalty, endless affection, and a devoted companion who will always stay close by your side. If Poppy sounds like the perfect addition to your family, please ask to meet her today.

Reba, along with her sisters Lainey and Shaina, came from an accidental litter; one that we have affectionately named the Country Puppies. Born without the resources or care they needed, the girls spent their early days living outside without consistent attention or guidance. Recognizing that the puppies deserved a safer, healthier start, their owner made the responsible decision to surrender them to MAGSR. This gave each girl the chance to grow into a confident, stable adult with the support of a loving family.

Reba is a brave little sweetheart with a big heart and an even bigger desire for love. Despite her tough beginnings, she’s discovering just how wonderful the world can be—one cuddle, treat, and wagging tail at a time. Curious, affectionate, and eager to bond, she’s soaking up all the positive experiences she missed early on. Reba does have some natural alpha tendencies and can be opinionated. She has even attempted to herd the other two GSDs in her foster home. However, with time, patience, and consistent guidance, she is learning manners and basic commands. She’s dog-friendly and people-friendly, though cats may not be the best match for this lovely girl.

As adorable as she is, Reba is still very much a puppy. She will whine, have accidents, and keep you on your toes with endless puppy antics. But with training, routine, and plenty of opportunities to learn, Reba will grow into an amazing adult dog. Her foster family has been working hard to build a strong foundation of skills, and she’s ready to continue her journey with a family that can provide the structure, routine, and encouragement she needs to thrive. In return, Reba will bring joy, devotion, and that special rescue-dog gratitude that fills a home with love.

Reba is ready for her forever family—could it be you?

Tinkerbell is a beautiful, intelligent German Shepherd Dog with an adventurous spirit and a heart full of love. She recently arrived at the shelter as an owner surrender after her family struggled to keep her safely contained—this clever girl figured out how to jump the fence, and once a smart GSD learns a skill, it’s hard to unlearn! As a result, Tinkerbell will need a dedicated and attentive home that understands her needs. She cannot be left unattended in a yard, as barriers are more like challenges to her. With the right structure, supervision, and outlets for her energy, she will absolutely thrive.

The loss of what she thought was her forever family was truly heartbreaking for Tinkerbell. Her arrival at a loud, overcrowded shelter made her situation more difficult. Despite all the changes she’s experienced, Tinkerbell has remained friendly, social, and playful. She enjoys going for walks and exploring the world through her nose, often taking a moment to observe her surroundings before greeting new people. It’s her thoughtful way of getting comfortable—and once she does, her sweet personality shines.

Tinkerbell would benefit greatly from continued training, both to strengthen her bond with her new family and to help her become the best canine companion she can be. She appears to be housebroken and is already familiar with living in a home environment. In her previous home, Tinkerbell lived successfully with two small dogs and a young child. However, she does show some prey drive and would likely do best in a home without cats or small animals. Tinkerbell is truly a special girl—resilient, bright, and full of potential. With patience, structure, and love, she will make an incredibly loyal and rewarding companion.

Could you be the one to give Tinkerbell the safe, structured, and loving home she deserves?
