Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Alpha and Beta appeared outside the home of an experienced GSD family. Recognizing the boys needed a safe place to stay while their family was located, this family brought the boys in and began making calls to local vets, shelters, and lost dog groups. Although word quickly spread that Alpha and Beta had been found and were safe, no one came to bring the boys home. When their stray hold ended, this family began working with local rescues to move the boys forward so that they could be safely placed in a loving forever home. As a member of the rescue network contacted to support Alpha and Beta, MAGSR was happy to step forward and help the boys move into the rescue family.

Alpha is a big, intelligent, and inquisitive guy. His name fits him well as he does like to be the leader. Although more confident than his buddy, Beta, Alpha lacks experience with new people and situations. As a result, he can be unsure and avoidant at first. When given time to adjust, Alpha becomes more affectionate and eager to interact. Clearly an intelligent guy, Alpha reads the handler well. He will be most successful in an experienced household. As is true of all young dogs, Beta will thrive when provided with clear structure, routine, and leadership. Continued socialization is critical as Alpha will need to learn how to navigate new environments and new people in a stable and confident manner. Training is essential as it will not only help Alpha create a healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the stability and confidence needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Unfortunately, we have discovered that Alpha is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if he had been provided monthly prevention. Alpha's heartworm treatment has already begun. Although treatment is expensive, this incredible guy is beyond worth the cost. Please consider donating to Alpha's medical treatment. Your generosity will help us provide Alpha with the care he needs as well as other dogs with medical conditions. Alpha will need to take it easy over the next couple of months while he undergoes treatment. However, he will be ready to bounce around again soon. If you are looking for a young, intelligent, and active guy, ask to meet Alpha today.  

Jackie and her family - Axel, Gypsie, Genie, Sally, and Birdie - are victims of cruelty and neglect. All six dogs were living in horrific conditions. Chained in shower stalls, living in filth, abused, and starved, they endured unimaginable suffering at the hands of their owner. When word of their situation spread to local authorities, all 6 dogs were confiscated and charges were brought against their owner. Recognizing that these dogs would need significant support, a plea went out to see if they could be moved to the safety of a rescue. MAGSR answered that plea and immediately began working with local groups and animal services to get all six dogs the resources needed (medically and socially) to begin to move forward.  

In many ways Jackie is still a puppy. At only seven months, she has spent her puppyhood tied out and neglected. As a result, Jackie has not had the chance to be a puppy and will need this opportunity as she moves forward. Unsurprisingly, Jackie needs a little time to adjust to new people and new situations. With time, leadership, and patience, Jackie does start to warm up to her handler. As we continue to work with Jackie, we will begin to teach her that people can be kind, affectionate, and a source of love. At this time, Jackie is looking for an active and experienced household that will provide her with the structure, routine, and leadership that all shepherds need. Coming from a situation with little opportunity for affection or interaction with the world around her, Jackie will need opportunities to learn about the world in controlled settings. As is true of all young dogs, Jackie will need daily exercise for both her mind and her body. This will help her develop the ability to handle new people and environments confidently. Continued socialization is also critical for Jackie as this will help her develop into a stable adult. Providing Jackie with opportunities to interact with other people and other animals in a safe manner will help her develop essential skills that she has missed prior to her arrival in our care. Training will be an essential piece of this process, as it will not only help Jackie learn to develop a strong, healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to be a good canine citizen. Jackie is looking for an experienced, patient, and confident family that will help her develop into a balanced and loving dog. Could that be with you?

The GA 6 have been an expensive rescue, but so worth it.  If you can help us donating to the cost of their care, it you be very much appreciated!

Sally and her family - Axel, Gypsie, Genie, Jackie, and Birdie - are victims of cruelty and neglect. All six dogs were living in horrific conditions. Chained in shower stalls, living in filth, abused, and starved, they endured unimaginable suffering at the hands of their owner. When word of their situation spread to local authorities, all 6 dogs were confiscated and charges were brought against their owner.

MAGSR answered that plea and immediately began working with local groups and animal services to get all six dogs the resources needed (medically and socially) to begin to move forward.  

In many ways Sally is still a puppy. At only seven months, she has spent her puppyhood tied out and neglected. As a result, Sally has not had the chance to be a puppy and will need this opportunity to expend her puppy energy and antics in a healthy manner. Unfortunately, due to her previous circumstances, Sally has not had the opportunity to live in a home. She does not yet know the joy of a soft bed, plenty of toys, or a home to call her own. Once she finds her forever home, she will have a lot to learn about living in a household. However, as an intelligent and food motivated girl, we know she will adjust. At this time, Sally is looking for an active household that will provide her with the structure, routine, and leadership that all shepherds need. Coming from a situation with little opportunity for affection or interaction with the world around her, Sally will need to learn about the sights, sounds, and smells of the world. As is true of all young dogs, Sally will need daily exercise for both her mind and her body. This will help her develop the ability to read new people and situations appropriately. Continued socialization is essential for Sally as this will help her develop into a stable and confident adult. Providing Sally with opportunities to interact with other people and other animals in a safe manner will help her develop essential skills that she has missed prior to her arrival in our care. Training will be a critical piece of this process, as it will not only help Sally learn to develop a healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to be a good canine citizen. Sally is looking for an adventurous family that will help her develop into a balanced and loving dog. Could that be with you?

Handsome Jack was picked up as a stray in the south. Although he waited patiently for his family to come and claim him, no one arrived. Having been placed at a very crowded shelter, Jack was living on borrowed time. Fortunately, the right people heard about his story and were able to pull him right before he was euthanized. Although they knew that Jack would need to transfer to another rescue, they also knew that this boy deserved to live. When asked if we could help Jack move forward, MAGSR immediately stepped up. 

Jack is a young, inquisitive, and energetic guy. He seems to enjoy the company of people and other dogs. However, he needs a little time with new places and transitions. Having been bounced around so much in the last few months, this seems reasonable. Jack can't wait to find his forever family so that he can settle down and finally be home. As a young guy, Jack is looking for an active family that will exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. Due to the lack of consistency in Jack's life, it will also be essential that his forever family provide him with clear structure, routine and leadership. Training will help Jack's family support him within the home as it will help him bond with his forever family. Training will also help Jack develop into a stable and confident good canine citizen. 

Unfortunately, we have learned that Jack is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been prevented, had he been kept on monthly heartworm prevention. Jack's heartworm treatment has already begun. Although treatment is expensive, MAGSR knows that this handsome guy is beyond worth the cost. MAGSR will be covering the cost of Jack's heartworm treatment in its entirety. Please consider donating to Jack's treatment so that we can not only provide Jack with the care he needs but can also continue to welcome medical dogs into the rescue. Jack will need to take it easy over the next month or so while he heals. However, this will give him the opportunity to adjust slowly to his forever family. If this special guy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today. 

Genie and her family - Axel, Jackie, Gyspie, Sally, and Birdie - are victims of cruelty and neglect. All six dogs were living in horrific conditions. Chained in shower stalls, living in filth, abused, and starved, they endured unimaginable suffering at the hands of their owner. When word of their situation spread to local authorities, all 6 dogs were confiscated and charges were brought against their owner. Recognizing that these dogs would need significant support, a plea went out to see if they could be moved to the safety of a rescue. MAGSR answered that plea and immediately began working with local groups and animal services to get all six dogs the resources needed (medically and socially) to begin to move forward.  

Genie is a young, energetic, intelligent girl. She is looking for an active household that will provide her with the clear structure and routine that all shepherds need. Consistency and leadership are essential to developing stable and confident adult shepherds. This is particularly true in Genie's case as she will try to control the situation if she feels her handler cannot. As a result, Genie will be most successful in a household with a calm, confident, and experienced handler. Coming from a situation with little opportunity for affection or interaction with the world around her, Genie is learning about the smells, sounds, and sites around her. She can be a little timid at first; however, patience and confidence go a long way with her. As is true of all young dogs, Genie will need daily exercise for both her mind and her body. This will help her develop the ability to handle new people and situations in a calm and composed manner, as well as help her develop a healthy mindset. Continued socialization is also critical for Genie as she has spent her first year with limited interactions. Providing Genie with opportunities to interact with other people and other animals in a controlled manner will help her develop essential skills that could not be established while chained up. Training will be an essential piece of this process, as it will not only help Genie learn to develop a healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to be a good canine citizen. Fortunately, Genie has already learned many of her basic commands. Further practice will help her develop the stability needed to meet with success. With some heavier GSD specific traits, such as herding and guarding of property, Genie is a young girl who is looking for a safe and loving family. It is important that her new family understands the needs of the breed. If Genie sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today. 

Joyful Cooper has been moved about a few times in his young life. However, he was lucky that the right people stepped in and recognized that a young, social guy like him would thrive in a household that had the time and energy to work with him. So, they brought Cooper to a local shelter where staff members fell in love with this interactive guy. Although Cooper easily won over the hearts of the shelter team, they recognized that he would be most successful if he found placement through a rescue. When we heard about Cooper's need for placement, we immediately welcomed him to the MAGSR family. 

Cooper is an interactive and social boy. He clearly has had the opportunity to interact with others throughout his puppyhood. Although Cooper definitely has a great start, continued socialization is imperative to his success as an adult. Typical of most young GSDs, Cooper has a lot of energy. It will be essential that Cooper's family exercise his body and his mind on a daily basis. This will help him maintain a stable and confident mindset. Although Cooper is still very young, he has already begun to learn some basic commands. His intelligence, willingness to please, and his food motivation makes him a great student. Cooper will excel in training class. Training will not only help Cooper develop a strong and healthy bond with his family, but it will also help him develop into a good canine citizen that we know that he is destined to be. Cooper is looking for a loving and active household who will love him for a lifetime. Could this be with you?

Gypsie and her family - Axel, Jackie, Genie, Sally, and Birdie - are victims of cruelty and neglect. All six dogs were living in horrific conditions. Chained in shower stalls, living in filth, abused, and starved, they endured unimaginable suffering at the hands of their owner. When word of their situation spread to local authorities, all 6 dogs were confiscated and charges were brought against their owner. Recognizing that these dogs would need significant support, a plea went out to see if they could be moved to the safety of a rescue. MAGSR answered that plea and immediately began working with local groups and animal services to get all six dogs the resources needed (medically and socially) to begin to move forward. 

Gypsie is a young, energetic girl. She is looking for an active household that will provide her with the structure, routine, and leadership that all shepherds need. Although clearly emaciated and mishandled, Gypsie is ready to move forward. Coming from a situation with little opportunity for affection or interaction with the world around her, Gypsie is taking every opportunity to explore and enjoy life. As is true of all young dogs, Gypsie will need daily exercise for both her mind and her body. This will help her develop the ability to handle new people and situations in a calm and composed manner. Continued socialization is also critical for Gypsie as she has spent her first year with limited interactions. Providing Gypsie with opportunities to interact with other people and other animals in a controlled manner will help her develop essential skills that she has missed while chained up. Training will be an essential piece of this process, as it will not only help Gypsie learn to develop a healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to be a good canine citizen. 

We have discovered that Gypsie is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided with such a young dog had Gypsie been provided with monthly heartworm preventatives. Although treatment is very expensive, this active little girl is beyond worth the cost. Gypsie's entire heartworm treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Donations toward her care are greatly appreciated as this will help us not only help this little survivor get all of the care that she needs, but it will also help us continue to support medical dogs in need. Gypsie will need to take it easy over the next few months while she completes her treatment. However, this will give her time to learn about the ins and outs of living in a safe and loving home. If Gypsie sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today.

MAGSR answered that plea and immediately began working with local groups and animal services to get all six dogs the resources needed (medically and socially) to begin to move forward.  

Axel is a young, energetic, and intelligent guy. He is looking for an active and experienced household that will provide him with the structure, routine, and leadership that all shepherds need. As the only male in the family, Axel seems to have been mistreated more than the other dogs. He can be hand-shy and head-shy, particularly, when fast movements above his head are used. Coming from a situation with little opportunity for affection or interaction with the world around him, Axel is taking every opportunity to explore and enjoy life. He is quickly discovering that people can be kind. Once he knows that you are safe, Axel leans in for head rubs and attention. As is true of all young dogs, Axel will need daily exercise for both his mind and his body. He is already beginning to learn a few basic commands and seems beyond happy to work with his handler. As a food motivated and smart guy, Axel will be the star of training class. Continued training will be an essential piece as Axel moves forward. Training will not only help Axel develop a healthy bond with his family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to be a good canine citizen. Continued socialization is also critical for Axel as he has spent his first two years with limited interactions. Providing Axel with opportunities to interact with other people and other animals in a controlled manner will help him develop essential foundational skills that he missed while chained up. Axel already seems to be very social with the dogs in his family. They all seem to seek him out for comfort. 

We have discovered that Axel is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided had Axel been provided with monthly heartworm preventatives. Although treatment is very expensive, this interactive guy is beyond worth the cost. Axel's entire heartworm treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Donations toward his care are greatly appreciated as this will help us not only help this survivor get all of the care that he needs, but it will also help us continue to support medical dogs in need. Axel will need to take it easy over the next few months while he completes his treatment. However, this will give him time to learn about the ins and outs of living in a safe and loving home. Axel is looking for a loving, structured, and experienced household. If he sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today. 

The GA 6 have been an expensive rescue, but so worth it.  If you can help us donating to the cost of their care, it you be very much appreciated!

Sweet little Ash was picked up as a stray in the south. This cute little guy was brought to a crowded shelter where staff knew he would need a little extra TLC so that he could find a forever home that would love him for a lifetime. Recognizing that Ash should be transferred to a rescue, they reached out to MAGSR for help. We knew this little guy would be a great addition to the MAGSR family.

Ash is an absolute sweetheart but it is clear that he has lived through some difficult circumstances in his short life. As a result, he is definitely a shy guy. Often choosing the comfort and safety of his crate as a refuge while he adjusts, Ash is a quiet and somewhat timid guy. It will be critical that Ash's forever family work with him on socialization with people and other animals. This is essential for all young dogs as it helps them develop into confident and stable adults. Training will also be key for Ash as it will help him bond to his forever family as well as learn the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Ash is looking for a loving forever family that will give him the time, patience, structure, and love he needs to blossom. In return he will provide a lifetime of love and loyalty. If Ash sounds like the right match for your household, please ask to meet this little honey today. 

Onya, previously known as Onion, was adopted by her mom a few years ago. They were an incredible team. With the help of her mom, Onya completed basic obedience, started scent work, and had the opportunity to develop more advanced skills. They brought endless joy into each other's lives with activities during the day and plenty of cuddles at night. It was beyond evident that these two were meant for each other. Everything was going according to plan and it seemed like they would bring joy to each other for many years. Unbeknownst to the pair, an unimaginable medical diagnosis was looming. Onya's mom received news of a terminal illness that would upend their perfect world. When she realized that Onya would need a safe place to land, Onya's mom contacted our team, shared her story with us, and asked for help. Our team did everything we could to bring comfort to this family and welcomed Onya back to MAGSR. 

Onya is a stunning, intelligent, and impressive girl. However, her world has shifted dramatically with the loss of her mom. The grieving process is difficult and can shift personalities sometimes causing skills to go a bit backwards. Until she has fully settled, this sweet girl will likely be skittish and potentially a little over protective of her people. Stability and confidence building will definitely help. Fortunately, Onya is working through this process with the help of a loving foster family. When the right match steps forward, it is imperative that Onya is given time, patience, leadership, and structure in order to make one final adjustment. With routine and clear expectations, we know that this lovely lady will rise to the occasion. Although Onya is in the midst of the grieving process, she does know many of the ins and outs of living in a household. She is housebroken, crate trained, and understands general household routines. However, she will need time to adjust to the expectations of her forever family. Training will also help Onya adjust. Not only will training help Onya develop a strong and healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her continue to develop confidence. Onya is looking for a loving forever family that will provide her with endless adventures and daily snuggles. If this amazing girl sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

Daisy was beloved by her mom. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, her mom was unable to provide her with the lifestyle that she knew Daisy deserved. As a result, she made the decision to surrender her to MAGSR. Although this was a very difficult decision, Daisy's mom knew that MAGSR would find Daisy an incredible forever home that would love her for a lifetime. 

Daisy is an impressive, affectionate, and interactive girl. It is highly apparent that her mom put a lot of work into making sure she would meet with success. Daisy is well socialized with people. She enjoys the company of people of all ages and has an absolute love of children. Affectionate with everyone, Daisy will quickly say hi with a few quick kisses and a good lean-in. Not only is Daisy people-friendly, she is also dog friendly. Age and temperament do not matter for Daisy, she simply wants to be friends with everyone. As Daisy moves forward, it is critical that her forever family will need to continue to support Daisy's socialization as this will help her further develop into a stable adult. Having already lived in a home, Daisy already understands many of the ins and outs of living in a household. She is crate trained and housebroken. Having already participated in training, she knows basic commands and heels well. However, as is true of all young dogs, she will benefit from continued training. This will not only help Daisy develop into a good canine citizen, but it will also help her bond to her new family. Daisy is looking for a forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Birdie and her family - Axel, Jackie, Genie, Sally, and Gypsie - are victims of cruelty and neglect. All six dogs were living in horrific conditions. Chained in shower stalls, living in filth, abused, and starved, they endured unimaginable suffering at the hands of their owner. When word of their situation spread to local authorities, all 6 dogs were confiscated and charges were brought against their owner. Recognizing that these dogs would need significant support, a plea went out to see if they could be moved to the safety of a rescue. MAGSR answered that plea and immediately began working with local groups and animal services to get all six dogs the resources needed (medically and socially) to begin to move forward.  

Birdie is a lovely lady. As the matriarch of the family, she endured years of hardship and neglect. Although she spent years in unspeakable conditions, Birdie remains sweet and interactive with volunteers. Birdie seems curious about the world around her and is clearly read to move forward. She must know that she is safe and loved. Birdie is both affectionate and responsive. Having never had the opportunity to live in a home, she will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. As is true of all dogs, Birdie will need daily exercise for both her mind and her body. This will help her develop the ability to handle new people and situations in a calm and composed manner. Exercise will also help Birdie move beyond the horrors of being chained in the same place for so many years. Continued socialization is also critical for Birdie as she has spent her first year with limited interactions. Providing Birdie with opportunities to interact with other people and other animals in a controlled manner will help her develop essential skills that she has been unable to develop prior to her arrival. Training will be an essential piece of this process, as it will not only help Birdie learn to develop a healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Birdie is looking for a loving forever home where she can just be a dog. If this gorgeous girl sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

The GA 6 have been an expensive rescue, but so worth it.  If you can help us donating to the cost of their care, it you be very much appreciated!

Handsome Lucas was picked up as a stray and brought to a shelter. This sweet and friendly guy, quickly won over the hearts of everyone on staff. They knew he must belong to someone. So, they waited for Lucas' family to claim him. Sadly, no one came for Lucas. Knowing that a special guy like Lucas deserved an amazing home, shelter staff reached out for rescue placement. When asked if we could help Lucas move forward, our team immediately put things in place to welcome him to the MAGSR family. 

Lucas is a friendly, playful, and intelligent guy. Unsurprisingly, he does like to see what he can get away with when being handled. He has your typical GSD shenanigans going on. Although Lucas was a stray, he is interactive and affectionate. It is obvious that this guy was well socialized with people and dogs. As a young dog, Lucas will thrive with structure, clear routines, and leadership. He is beginning to learn basic manners and how to walk on leash without pulling. However, Lucas, like all dogs, will need training. Training will not only help him bond to his forever family but it will also help him develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to become. Lucas is looking for a family that enjoys an interactive dog, playtime, and lots, we mean lots, of belly rubs. If this boy sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet Lucas today.

Guy and Fieri were picked up as strays in the south. When they arrived at animal services it was highly evident that they could use a little extra TLC. Underweight, dirty, and needing some medical support, shelter staff immediately moved forward to support both boys. Although the boys had clearly been through a lot together, everyone was simply amazed by how friendly and interactive Guy and Fieri are with everyone they meet. Although shelter staff did everything they could to help both boys move forward, they felt that it would be best if the boys were moved into rescue so that they could find a home with room for two. When asked if we could support Guy and Fieri in the MAGSR family, we immediately stepped forward. 

Guy and Fieri are a bonded pair. As a result, they are looking for a household that has room in their hearts and home for two dogs. Playful, interactive, and friendly with everyone, the boys bring smiles wherever they go. It is clear that these two know just how to win over the hearts and minds of everyone around. Both boys are good with other dogs. They also love people of all ages. Guy has had some additional medical needs having joined the rescue with a very intense yeast infection throughout his body. However, with time, attention, and the right medication, he has made significant strides. These guys are looking for a household that will provide them with structure, routine, and love. If your family has room for two, please ask about Guy and Fieri today!

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Rocky's family surrendered him to another rescue as they felt they could not provide him with the care that he needed. Although this was a very difficult decision, they wanted to give Rocky every opportunity to live his best life. The rescue that welcomed Rocky in recognized that he would have his best chance if he was transferred to a breed specific rescue. As a result, he was moved into the MAGSR family. We are so excited that we can help Rocky move forward. 

Rocky is a big, energetic guy. He is intelligent and confident as well. Although he did not live with other dogs in his original household, his foster family did have several larger dogs. Rocky did well with the other dogs in the home; however, his foster did indicate that he would correct other dogs from time to time. True to the breed, Rocky is protective of the property, particularly, when it comes to other animals. He will need to learn to look to the handler for direction. Training will go a long way with Rocky. It will not only help him develop a healthy bond with his family but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Rocky has already lived in a household, so he knows some of the ins and outs of living in a home. However, as is true of any dog, he will likely need to brush up on those skills and adjust to the structure and routines of his forever home. 

Unfortunately, Rocky has come up heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if he had been provided with heartworm preventatives. Rocky's treatment has already begun. Treatment is expensive; however, MAGSR knows that he is more than worth the cost. Rocky will need to take it easy over the next couple of months while he undergoes treatment. This will involve rest and crate restriction. However, Rocky will be back to himself soon. Please consider donating to Rocky's care. Your support will not only help us care for this big guy, but it will also help us welcome other medical dogs into the rescue. If Rocky sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today. 

Sweet Zinnia "the survivor" as we call her battled and rallied a rough case of parvo as a puppy. Upon getting the all clear from her vet, Zinnia made her way to the rescue and was quickly adopted out. Zinnia lived in a household and did well with everyone including the kids and another dog. Sadly, Zinnia's family could no longer care for her so MAGSR welcomed Zinnia back into rescue with open arms. Zinnia is just over a year old now and looking for her forever home. Zinnia would thrive in a home with another dog and she enjoys children. Zinnia is shy and nervous upon first meeting new people and in new situations but with a little patience and love she opens right up. Zinnia will thrive in a household where patience, structure, guidance and leadership are provided constantly. Training will go a long way with Zinnia as she is a smart girl. Not only will this help her to bond to her new family, but it will also help her develop into a stable and confident canine citizen. If the lovely Zinnia sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today.

Joyful Frannie and her siblings - Henry and Miles - were an accidental litter. Although the family that they were born into raised them in a loving home, they recognized that they could not afford three additional pups. Knowing that these babies deserved safe and loving forever homes, the difficult decision was made to surrender all three babies to rescue. We promised to find these babies amazing forever homes. 

Frannie, Henry, and Miles are absolute love bugs. They are social, interactive, and endless fun. It is highly evident that these babies have been socialized well. Although they have an excellent start, it is critical that their forever families continue to provide them with opportunities to socialize with new people and animals in varied environments. These babies are darlings; however, it is important to remember that puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of attention from their families. Puppies are full of puppy energy which results in endless puppy antics. They will get into things, whine, and will chew on inappropriate items. With time, training, patience, and continued socialization, Frannie, Henry, and Miles will develop into good canine citizens. These babies are looking for forever homes that will commit to them for a lifetime. Could that family be you?

Lovely, little Dutchess was found running around an abandoned farm with another dog. Recognizing that these dogs would need help, a team of rescuers came together to trap both dogs and move them to safety. When the dogs were successfully contained, rescuers came together to enact the next piece of their plan. Both dogs were seen by a vet, given a safe and comfortable place to stay, and waited to see if someone came to claim them. Unfortunately, no one came forward to claim them. Recognizing that both dogs would be best placed in breed specific rescues, Dutchess moved forward into the MAGSR family. 

Dutchess is a loveable, playful, intelligent girl. We are so excited to help her move forward. A definite fan of other dogs, Dutchess is under the impression that all other dogs should be her furry friends. Clearly, this girl was well socialized with other animals. Although really good with other animals, Dutchess does need a small pause when meeting new people. Given a chance to adjust, she is interactive and friendly. Dutchess, like all other young shepherds, will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. As a young dog, she will need to exercise both her body and her mind on a daily basis. Training will also be key to Dutchess' transition in her forever family. Training will not only help her form a strong and healthy bond with her family but it will also help her develop into a stable and confident adult. Dutchess is looking for an active family that will commit to her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Handsome Houston was picked up as a stray in a busy city. He was brought to a local shelter, where staff members immediately fell in love with this sweetheart. Although Houston quickly won over the hearts and minds of the shelter staff, they knew that he needed more care than they could provide. In order to find Houston the help he needed, a rescue plea went out. MAGSR knew Houston deserved a family to call his own so we stepped in to help him. 

Houston is a stable, confident and friendly guy. Although we do not know what Houston's life was like prior to his arrival at the shelter, at some point he did know love. Known to shower his handlers with affection, Houston does tend to give wiggles and kisses when first meeting new people. He's simply a lovable guy. When Houston arrived at the shelter it was highly evident that something was wrong with his front right leg. He was non weight bearing as the lower portion of his leg was hanging from the carpal area. Upon closer inspection, it was determined that Houston has a right distal radial ulna fracture. This will need to be repaired by one of our surgical specialists. Unfortunately, Houston will need to wait a few weeks as he is also suffering from a rather serious upper respiratory infection. Although he is getting the additional attention and support he needs to recover, he will need time to heal before surgery.

In addition to Houston's other medical needs, we have learned that he is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if he had been given monthly heartworm preventatives. Houston's heartworm treatment has begun. Although treatment is expensive, this sweet boy is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating to Houston's medical needs. Your generosity will help us care for Houston as well as other dogs who need medical support. Houston will need some extra support over the next few months. However, with time, patience, and an amazing medical team, he will be ready for his forever home soon. 

Pharah is a lovely, sweet, and intelligent young girl. A couple of false starts in her life have left her a bit timid and in need of a patient and kind hand to help her move forward. Prior to her arrival in the MAGSR family, Pharah found herself caught in the middle of some difficult situations where she was acting as the family protector. As she moves forward, Pharah is looking for a family that will provide her with a safe and loving household, where she can simply be a happy dog. As is true of all GSDs, Pharah will thrive in a household with structure, leadership, and clear boundaries. Although a little timid in new environments and with new people, once given time to adjust, Pharah is interactive and affectionate. Food motivated and eager to please, Pharah will be the star pupil in training class. Training with Pharah will be a rewarding experience for the entire family as it will help her establish a healthy bond with her family while building trust and confidence. As Pharah is still rather young, she, like any GSD, requires a notable amount of physical and mental stimulus. She would love a family that can help her stimulate both her body and her mind on a daily basis. As a healthy and active girl, Pharah may also enjoy doggy sporting opportunities, such as agility work. If this beautiful girl sounds like a match for your household, ask to meet her today!
