Beetlejuice is a big, friendly boy who was picked up in the south as a stray. He was brought to an overcrowded shelter where he waited for his family to claim him. Although Beetlejuice waited patiently for his family, no one came to claim him. When no one stepped forward, he, like so many others, was moved to the euthanasia room as shelters simply cannot keep up with the number of animals arriving at their door on a daily basis. As a big, goofy, playful guy, we knew Beetlejuice deserved a forever family that would cherish him for a lifetime. So, our team moved quickly and succeeded in welcoming Beetlejuice to the safety of the MAGSR family just before his time was up. 

Beetlejuice is one handsome guy. As a young and energetic boy, he is looking for an active forever family that loves adventures. It is critical that Beetlejuices' forever family not only exercise his body, but that they also exercise his mind on a daily basis. This will help him remain a balanced and happy guy. Throughout his time at the shelter, Beetlejuice regularly attended play groups, and he enjoyed his furry companions. He has likely been socialized well with other dogs. As is true of all shepherds, Beetlejuice is looking for a family that will provide him with structure, routine, and leadership. In addition, Beetlejuice is looking forward to participating in training. Training will not only help Beetlejuice build a strong and healthy relationship with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Unfortunately, we have learned that Beetlejuice is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if his people had provided him with monthly heartworm prevention. We have already begun the first steps of Beetlejuice's treatment. However, he will need a few months to rest and recover. Heartworm treatment is expensive, but Beetlejuice is clearly worth the cost. Please consider donating to his care as, in doing so, you not only help Beetlejuice move forward, but you also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs. Beetlejuice is a goofy guy who is looking for a family that will commit to him for a lifetime, could that be with you?
