[standard] Nick Jongebloed Camp Patriot Animal Rescue and Sanctuary Has Primarily GSDs In Our Care. WE ADMIRE WHAT YOU DO! - Rutherfordton, NC (10/01/26) ||| [medical] Mark Robinson - Pine Bluff, AK (03/22/27)
Description

Ash is one of the 8 Campfire puppies, who were named through a contest with our beloved donors. These adorable siblings have been growing so well and have, of course, maintained some very typical puppy behaviors. They are active, intelligent, and very good with other animals. With a good understanding of toys, treats, and a soft place to relax, all the babies have been lucky to stay together with mom and each other during the neonatal and transitional stage. Still developing their socialization skills, these boys and gal will need endless opportunities to socialize with people and other animals in safe and controlled settings. Socialization is critical to their success as this will help them develop into stable adult dogs. 

Although these babies are cute as can be, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. Giving them the time, training, patience, and leadership they need, we know that the siblings are destined for greatness. Each of these amazing babies are looking for a household that will provide them with a good balance of training, playtime, and cuddles. If one of these cute little babies sounds like the right match for your family, get your application in today so that you can meet them as soon as they're ready to go home!

Description

Sometimes life just isn’t fair. Some dogs experience heartbreak and loss far too many times, and sweet senior Figgle knows that feeling all too well.

Figgle first found his way to MAGSR years ago after a difficult beginning, and thankfully he was adopted into a loving home where he was truly cherished. Sadly, his beloved dad recently passed away unexpectedly, leaving Figgle suddenly alone and uncertain of what came next. Wanting to keep him safe, a caring neighbor brought Figgle to a local shelter with a note explaining he was a MAGSR dog. The moment we learned where he was, we welcomed this special boy right back into the family.

Although Figgle is an absolute delight, the sudden changes understandably shook him. Like people, dogs grieve deeply, and Figgle needed time to process the loss of the person he loved most. Even through the sadness, however, his sweet and joyful spirit continues to shine.

Having spent many years in a home, Figgle is housebroken, crate trained, and very much appreciates the comforts of family life — especially a soft, cozy bed. He absolutely adores toys and lights up with excitement over plushies, squeaky toys, balls, and bones. Despite being a senior gentleman, Figgle still has a goofy, playful personality that brings constant smiles and laughter to those around him.

Senior dogs are truly special. They bring a gentle kind of love, gratitude, and companionship that fills a home in ways that are hard to describe. Figgle is simply looking for a family who will treasure him during his golden years and give him the stability, kindness, and love he deserves. His wishlist is simple: daily walks, plenty of toys, a comfy place to rest, and someone to snuggle with at the end of the day.

If your heart and home have room for a truly special boy, Figgle is ready to meet you and start the next chapter of his life surrounded by love once again.

Description

Frankie is a wonderful 8-month-old German Shepherd mix with a curious nature and a love for people of all ages, including children. He gets along well with both resident MAGSR dogs and enjoys being part of a family.

As a young pup, Frankie has plenty of puppy energy and loves to play, explore, and stay active. He will benefit from a family committed to providing regular exercise, continued training, and plenty of mental stimulation. After an active day, he is happy to settle down and relax.

Frankie is house-trained and crate-trained. He sleeps soundly in his crate and isn’t bothered by thunderstorms or fireworks. Like many curious puppies, Frankie is interested in rabbits and may chase if they run, so continued supervision is important.

Frankie is a sweet, confident puppy who is ready to continue learning and growing as part of a loving family.

Description

Jack’s story begins like far too many others—found as a stray and brought into an overcrowded shelter, where he waited patiently for a family that never came. As days passed and space ran out, Jack’s future became uncertain. With shelters across the country overwhelmed, many wonderful dogs don’t get the second chance they deserve. Thankfully, a last-minute plea reached the right ears, and MAGSR stepped in just in time to give Jack that chance.

Jack is everything you’d expect from a young German Shepherd Dog—playful, curious, and bursting with energy. He’s an adventurous, social boy who is always ready to engage, whether it’s playtime in the yard or learning something new. Like many young pups who haven’t yet had consistent structure, Jack is still figuring out the world around him and will thrive with a confident leader who can provide guidance, routine, and clear expectations. Highly intelligent and eager to connect, Jack has so much potential. With regular training and daily mental and physical exercise, he’s sure to blossom into a well-mannered and devoted companion. Training won’t just help him learn good manners—it will also strengthen the bond he shares with his forever family. Jack has already begun learning the basics of home life. He’s getting comfortable with crate training, working on housebreaking, and starting to understand what’s expected of him in a household. Like any young GSD, he’ll need patience, consistency, and time—but the reward will be a loyal, loving companion who brings joy and laughter into every day.

Despite his uncertain past, Jack’s future is incredibly bright. He’s looking for a forever family ready to embrace his playful spirit, keep up with his energy, and enjoy both his goofy antics and his affectionate cuddles. If you’re searching for a smart, fun-loving partner for life’s adventures, Jack might just be your perfect match.

Description

Marlo is a stunning German Shepherd with a heart as big as his paws. He showed up at a country home down south and was reported as a stray, but when no one came for him, it became clear that Marlo was searching for something more—a family. He chose an incredibly kind home to visit and quickly showed what a wonderful dog he is. Despite his prey drive for small critters, Marlo was great with the children and got along well with other dogs. One of his favorite things? The moment you approach him, he eagerly drops, rolls over, and offers his belly for scratches—clearly a professional at soaking up affection.

Although we don't know much about his past, it is clear that someone took the time to provide this boy with a solid foundation. Marlo is quiet and well-mannered in his crate and truly enjoys going for walks. Sadly, like many dogs from the south, Marlo is heartworm positive. The good news is that MAGSR covers all of his heartworm treatment, so his future family can focus on loving him and helping him heal. This boy is already moving forward with his care. Marlo will need to take it easy over the next few months while his body heals. However, as he is already a pro with the crate and responsive to the handler, Marlo is the perfect patient. Please consider donating to Marlo's care. Not only will your donation help Marlo receive the care he needs, but it will help us continue to welcome other dogs with medical needs. 

Marlo is affectionate, gentle, and deeply loyal—ready to give his whole heart to a family who will give him the forever home he’s been waiting for. Could you be the one to give Marlo his happy ending?

Updates:

Marlo has finally completed his heartworm treatment journey. After receiving his first negative microfilaria test in early May, all he needs left is a negative 4DX to be officially home-free. After many months of frustrating crate-rest, this energetic boy was even given training from our partners at Mason Dixon K9 to help level him back out and remember how to be a good boy!

He first arrived in MAGSR’s care a few years ago alongside his son, Ozzie, after tragedy struck — their family’s home was lost in a fire, and both boys were surrendered to a local shelter. Confused, scared, and struggling like so many German Shepherds do in that environment, Saxom and Ozzie needed help. MAGSR stepped in to give them the second chance they deserved. With time, patience, and love, both dogs thrived — finding families who adored them. Although we always hope every adoption is forever, sometimes life takes unexpected turns. And at MAGSR, we stand by our promise: “Once a MAGSR dog, always a MAGSR dog.”

When Saxom recently needed to come back to us, our team made sure he had a safe and loving foster home waiting. Upon his return, it was discovered that he had developed perianal fistula, a chronic inflammatory condition more common in German Shepherds. While this condition requires ongoing care and daily medication, our amazing team and his devoted foster family are committed to keeping Saxom comfortable and happy. Despite his medical needs, Saxom’s joyful spirit shines through every day. He loves his toys — especially his ball — and his foster family keeps the toy basket well-stocked to make sure playtime is never missed. As a senior gentleman, he enjoys a good balance of fun and rest, curling up on a cozy bed for pets and relaxation between play sessions.

Saxom’s care does come with significant costs — his medications, specialized food, and regular vet check-ins are all part of ensuring he stays healthy and happy. If you’d like to help this incredible boy, please consider donating toward Saxom’s care. Most of all, Saxom is still hoping that the right family will come along to love him through his golden years. Could you be the one to give this loyal, loving soul the forever home he deserves?

Description

Scout is one of the 8 Campfire puppies, who were named through a contest with our beloved donors. These adorable siblings have been growing so well and have, of course, maintained some very typical puppy behaviors. They are active, intelligent, and very good with other animals. With a good understanding of toys, treats, and a soft place to relax, all the babies have been lucky to stay together with mom and each other during the neonatal and transitional stage. Still developing their socialization skills, these boys and gal will need endless opportunities to socialize with people and other animals in safe and controlled settings. Socialization is critical to their success as this will help them develop into stable adult dogs. 

Although these babies are cute as can be, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. Giving them the time, training, patience, and leadership they need, we know that the siblings are destined for greatness. Each of these amazing babies are looking for a household that will provide them with a good balance of training, playtime, and cuddles. If one of these cute little babies sounds like the right match for your family, get your application in today so that you can meet them as soon as they're ready to go home!

Description

Some dogs are fortunate enough to spend their lives in loving homes where they are cherished and well cared for. Orion was one of those lucky dogs — deeply adored by his owner and living a happy, stable life. Tragically, everything changed when his beloved owner received a terminal diagnosis and later passed away. Though friends stepped in with the best of intentions, over time Orion’s care declined. He became severely emaciated, lost significant muscle mass, developed urine burns, wounds, and scabs across his body. His condition had become so poor that patches of fur disappeared. It was clear he needed more help than anyone could provide. Recognizing his condition, Orion was surrendered to a local shelter. The shelter team saw the good dog behind the neglect and knew he would be best served within a rescue. When they reached out to Mid-Atlantic German Shepherd Rescue (MAGSR), our team couldn’t possibly say no to that gentle face.

Orion entered rescue and went directly into a foster home, where his journey back to health truly began. With time, patience, and experienced care, his foster family carefully addressed his needs. Under veterinary guidance, Orion began a structured refeeding plan to safely restore his weight and strength. At first, he needed reassurance that meals and fresh water would consistently be available. With routine and stability, he has settled in and rediscovered what it means to feel safe, loved, and provided for. As his body heals, Orion’s foster family has slowly reintroduced light muscle-building activities to help him regain strength. Weekly baths are soothing his healing skin, and he absolutely adores a soft brush and a good head rub. A classic leaner with the most expressive eyes, Orion has a quiet sweetness that makes him truly special.

Although he previously lived in a home, Orion has spent the past several weeks reacclimating to household life. Like all German Shepherds, he will thrive with structure, consistency, and confident leadership. Given patience and clear expectations, he will adjust beautifully to his forever family’s routine. Already beginning to learn commands, Orion is highly motivated by treats and praise and shows great potential in training. Continued training will be essential — not only to help him build a strong bond with his family, but also to support his growth into a confident and well-mannered canine citizen.

Orion is intelligent, curious, and incredibly handsome. More than anything, he is looking for a forever family who will cherish him, guide him, and love him for the rest of his life. Could that family be you?
