Success Stories

This is what we are all about.

When we place a dog in a great home, everyone in the rescue is elated. Nothing feels better than helping our dogs on their journey to find a forever home where they can love and be loved.

We thank every one of our adoptive families for opening their hearts and homes to our dogs.

These are the most recent MAGSR Success Stories. Success Stories reported prior to 2016 can be found here.

Socks (fka Noah)

Socks (fka Noah)

We renamed him Socks and he has comfortably integrated into our family. His 4 and 8 year old boys love him. When he licks Isaac, the 4 year old in the face, Isaac says, “Aw, he loves me!” He takes orders from the cat and tries really hard to control the urge to play with him. He is loving the cold weather and little bit of snow we got. He thinks ice is just as fun to rub on as grass!

We have had Jack for ~2.5 years now.  We love him so much. He is an integral part of our family. He loves to play ball,  get pets and go on walks.  He still likes to chase squirrels when possible. He is a great dog- great personality and very sweet.  He is our big baby and we love him very much.

Molly

Molly (adopted July 2020) has settled into her forever home and time is flying! It is hard to believe she has been with me for almost 5 months! In her time with me, Molly has completed a training program, taken her first trip to the beach (where she played in the sand almost every day), and helped welcome a new nephew to the family last month! Molly enjoys walks & playing with her black-lab cousin, car rides with the windows down, cuddles on the couch, and playing fetch with her favorite squeaky toys! She has landed with a family who gives her endless hugs, kisses, and cuddles daily! I couldn’t imagine my life without Molly.

Dolly (aka Princess Bea)

Dolly (aka Princess Bea) is definitely still a princess. She is happy and super energetic. She loves playing and cuddling with her big doggy brother Waylon and even has her gotten her big kitty sister Winnie to warm up to her. She loves playing tug a war with our daughter Maisie and chasing her around. She is very anxious around new people and places but has improved a lot with puppy classes and going on walks on the ncr trail. She has been a great addition to our family. We’re glad to have her.

Bella (formerly known as Belair)

Bella (formerly known as Belair) was adopted on July 2, 2020.  She was a little nervous in her new surroundings, was very cautious, and was not ready to fully trust that this was her permanent home.  She gave me the feeling that she had experienced some harsh times somewhere in her past. We showered her with love and patience and as each day went by, she became more trusting of us. Now she follows me everywhere. When I leave the house, she waits at the door until I come home……so cute. Bella loves to play “keep away”.  She will grab her favorite toy and run around the house and wait for me to come after her. When I come around, she will take off running in the opposite direction.  In the back yard, she has trained me to fetch.  Seriously, when I throw the ball, she runs to it and stands over it until I come to fetch it.  When I get close, she takes off with the ball and drops it again, waiting for me to try to get it. Eventually she gets tired and walks away from the ball and I have to fetch it……funny dog. Bella loves attention. When my son and his family come over, she gets so excited. Her tail and whole body is wagging a mile a minute until I get her to settle down.  I’m actually a little jealous that she likes them so much.  I’m pretty sure she would go home with them if I let her. Not going to happen!! We are so happy with Bella.  I can’t imagine our home without her now. Thank you to MAGSR Jim and Judy Cocchiaro

Apollo

Apollo FKA Liberty is a spoiled young man. His favorite things are: sitting on me and his dog sister Autumn, getting beat up by his cat sister Aspen, chasing squirrels and rabbits, licking any human that he comes in contact with, going on car rides, snuggling, and getting rubs while also petting you back at the same time. He is the perfect addition to our family!

Apache and Hunter

Apache and Hunter

Apache (June 2017) and Hunter (fka Windsor, May 2018) are bedhoggers, roadtrip pros, and well-loved puppers. Apache loves squeeky stuffies, chasing squirrels, and has opened up to some family members, but is still our shadow. Hunter has taught her that it's okay to play and be a pup. Hunter loves meeting everyone, snow, and stealing toys from his sister.

Buddy

What a wonderful Rescue and what a wonderful dog.  We adopted Buddy from MAGSR less than 2 weeks ago and this 19 month old has won our hearts completely.  A little puppy mischief with a lot of puppy energy.  A little Husky and a little GSD.   And who knows or cares? He's already learning agility and visibly settling into his forever home more every day.  Smart boy. Thank you MAGSR!!!!! Totally grateful, Buddy, Shari and Miles

Layla (fka Chasity)

We adopted Layla (aka Chastity) July 2019. She is the sweetest and most affectionate dog.  She loves her big sister Zoe and her human family.  She is always happy and wags her tail anytime anyone steps in the room even if she is asleep. She is very energetic but gets lots of walks and outside play time. She thinks she is a lap dog and loves to lay on or near us. She has come a long way in the year that we've had her.   We love her and so lucky to have adopted her.
