The Kentucky Six - Diego, Champ, Serena, Peanut, Evie, and Yogi - are cruelty and neglect survivors. Living in inhumane conditions, starved, and used as breeding stock, the Kentucky Six managed to make it off the property alive when the right people heard about their conditions and got the authorities involved. All six dogs were confiscated and brought to a shelter where they waited for the chance to find kind and loving families of their very own. Although shelter staff worked hard to make sure that all six dogs began getting the care and attention they deserved, they recognized that with shelters at capacity and adoptions limited, these six precious souls may not have the chance to find their forever families. They began working with local groups and started networking the dogs in hopes that rescue placement would be found. Fortunately, their message made its way to MAGSR. Our incredible team knew that this group of dogs was very special, so we began putting plans in place to welcome the Kentucky Six to the MAGSR family. 

Although Diego's life was filled with challenges and suffering prior to his confiscation, he remains a sweet and interactive guy. Intelligent and eager to please, Diego has already begun to learn a few commands. He really is an incredible guy. Sometimes we are simply astonished by the resilience of dogs that have been through so much trauma but are still willing to connect with people. As is true of all shepherds, Diego will thrive when provided with structure, routine, and leadership. In many ways he is still in the beginning stages of his new life. He will need time to adjust to new people, environments, and expectations. However, given patience and opportunities to learn, we are sure that Diego will continue to discover the joys of being a beloved member of a family. We do not know if Diego has had much experience living in a household. Clear rules and boundaries will help him settle into his new home. Training will also go a long way for this boy. Not only will training help Diego develop a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him become a good canine citizen. Diego is looking for a forever family that will cherish him for a lifetime. If he sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet Diego today!
