Adopted MAGSR Dogs

Lovely Fox was a victim of cruelty and neglect. Fortunately, when animal services learned of her situation, they moved quickly to help Fox as well as other animals in the household. Although this sweet girl was adjusting to her new circumstances, shelter staff recognized that Fox would have her best chance at finding a loving forever home if she was transferred to a rescue. When asked to help Fox move forward, MAGSR immediately stepped up. 

Fox is a beautiful girl both inside and out. Although she has had to endure circumstances that no one should have to live through, her sweet spirit remains. As she can be a little timid when first new people, Fox warms up quickly with patience and kindness. A few high value treats also go a long way. Once comfortable, Fox is your typical young shepherd. She enjoys snuggles, being close to her people, and goofing around. Currently living with senior GSDs and a few cats, Fox enjoys the company of animals that will give her a minute to warm up to them. She seems most comfortable with one of the pushy, dog-savvy cats. As is true of most shepherds, Fox will benefit greatly from training. This will not only help her bond with her new family, but it will also help her develop confidence. If Fox sounds like the right match for your family, please ask to meet her today. 

Sasha's family loved her dearly. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, they could no longer care for her. Although surrendering her was a difficult decision, they knew this would give Sasha her best chance at finding a safe and loving forever home. We promised Sasha's family that we would find her the perfect forever family. Sasha is a lovely girl. She is charming and playful when comfortable with her people. We have been told she is good with children, dogs, and cats. However, like many young dogs, sometimes she gets a little rough with the cats. When corrected by them, she recognizes their boundaries and moves on. 

Although this sweet southern girl is a doll with her family, she will need continued socialization and training. Having had limited experiences within the community, Sasha will need time, patience, and leadership as she learns about the world around her. Sasha will thrive in an environment where structure and routine are infused into daily activities. She will do well with a family that understands and has experience with the breed. With time, patience, guidance and training, Sasha will develop into the good canine citizen she is destined to become. If Sasha sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today.

Lovely Dayna was trapped on the streets of a busy city along with her little family. When she arrived at the shelter, staff recognized that she was scared and shut down. There was simply so much going on around her and so many new people and sounds. Although timid, Dayna was sweet with staff members. As is often the case with adult dogs, Dayna was looked over as all of her puppies found homes. Recognizing the Dayna deserved a loving home of her own, we welcomed this little lady into the MAGSR family. 

Dayna, as is true of many strays, needs time to adjust to new people and situations. She doesn't seem to have had positive responses from humans prior to her arrival at the shelter and is still learning that people can be kind. Dayna will meet with greatest success in a calm environment. She will benefit from patience, structure and routine. Training will go a long way with Dayna as it will help her not only develop into a good canine citizen but it will also help her bond with her forever family. Dayna is heartworm positive. We have already begun her heartworm treatment and Dayna is doing well. MAGSR will cover the entirety of the cost of Dayna's treatment. Although heartworm treatment is very expensive, Dayna is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating to Dayna's heartworm treatment. This will help us not only support Dayna but it will also help us save other dogs with medical needs. If your household can provide Dayna with the peaceful and structured environment she needs to thrive, please ask to meet this lovely girl today. 

Bella first came to MAGSR in July, 2020 as a stray. She was very sweet with MAGSR volunteers and eventually successfully transitioned to a home environment.

Bella is a beautiful and smart girl who loves the company of her primary people. She loves training and has excelled in group as well as individual lessons and is well on her way toward her Canine Good Citizen certification.

She loves car rides and is thrilled to accompany her humans anywhere.

Though she does not want to be left behind, she has handled time alone in the house well as her humans returned to in-person work. She’s an experienced shopper in hardware stores and pet stores and navigates busy boardwalks and streets with no problems, but her favorite time includes running in the backyard, walking on the beach or going on a long hike with her humans.

She has helped foster 8 other GSDs with her humans. She also does well in dog day camp with other dogs.

As a mature dog, she is fully adjusted to living in the house, is calm around adult family members, and has been a calming “co-worker” in Zoom meetings for hours on end. She is a polite eater and does not touch the furniture (unless invited in).

Bella receives A+ for sweet behavior every time she visits the vet or any time she spends the day at a camp with trainers. As is true of many shepherds, Bella tends to be protective of her people, house, and back yard and visitors need to be carefully introduced. There have been limited opportunities to work on this behavior during COVID-19 restrictions and while Bella is an amazing house dog, she demonstrates excess anxiety and barking with visitors to the home.

Her household was recently licensed for foster child care and many new strangers to Bella now come to the home. Out of high caution, Bella is secured in a separate room during child foster visits and the current circumstances are not sustainable for Bella or current and future foster children. Bella has been very much loved by her family.

After consulting several trainers, they made the heartbreaking decision to look for a new home for her, motivated by high investment in her quality of life and positive future without the stress of little children running around. Bella is an amazing girl who will be a loving family member but needs an environment with adults and/or older children.

Roxee was rehomed recently. She was clearly a well-loved member of her family. Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside of their control, Roxee needed to be rehomed once more. When asked to help find the perfect forever home for this stunning girl, MAGSR was honored to step-up and provide Roxee with a safe haven. 

Roxee is a sweet girl who looks for guidance and leadership from those around her. When given calm and consistent leadership, Roxee responds positively. It seems that Roxee was undersocialized for the first few years of her life, which has caused her to need a little more time to warm up to new people. However, once comfortable, Roxee has the "shepherd lean" down pat. A lack of exposure to the everyday activities of the outside world has made her skittish. Roxee will need time, patience, and consistency as she moves forward. Training will be an essential component of Roxee's future. It will not only help her develop the confidence needed to experience the world around her, but it will also help her create a strong, healthy bond with her handler. Although Roxee can be a little unsure about new people, she is fantastic with cats and dogs of all sizes. In her current foster home, the pack quickly welcomed this gentle girl into their household. They must have known she needed a little extra love. Roxee is an adorable girl who is looking for a special family that has the time and patience to help her move forward. Could that be with you?

Sweet Denali was taken by animal control when they felt his owner could not properly care for him. Although he did amazingly well in the shelter environment, shelter staff recognized that Denali may meet with greater success finding his forever home with a rescue. When they asked us to help Denali move forward, we immediately welcomed this boy into the MAGSR family. 

Denali is a young, playful, and social guy. He is the definition of a happy dog. Outgoing with people and with other dogs, Denali wants to be friends with everyone. Due to a birth defect in his front leg, Denali moves around with a bit of a limp. Although this may seem concerning to onlookers, this is just part of daily life for Denali. He has always walked a little differently from the other dogs but doesn't let his differences define him. Denali is looking for a forever family that will provide him with the structure, leadership, and guidance that all GSDs crave. Excited to try new adventures, Denali will thrive in training. Training will not only help Denali bond with his new family but it will also help him develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to become. If Denali sounds like the right match for your household, please ask to meet him today. 

Lovely Madam was running loose in the south and was picked-up by animal control. She waited patiently for her family to come and claim her; however, when no one came, shelter staff began looking for a rescue to help Madam move forward. Having learned that Madam actually belonged to the same family that surrendered Milton and Teddy, we immediately stepped up to bring Madam to safety. MAGSR has a policy of not leaving families behind. 

Madam is an affectionate girl. She enjoys the company of people and seems to have had some exposure to children. Although we know that Madam had an owner, we are not sure if she was kept as an inside dog or an outside dog. We do know that she did not have any vetting prior to her arrival at the shelter. Unfortunately, Madam is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if she had been provided with monthly heartworm preventatives. Madam has already begun her heartworm treatment and is doing well. The cost of Madam's treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Treatment is expensive, but Madam is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating toward Madam's treatment. Your generosity will help us save her and other dogs with medical needs. Although Madam will need to take it slow over the next few months, she will be back to full strength once her treatment is finished. If your household is looking for a sweet and affectionate girl, ask to meet Madam today.

Waldo found himself in a shelter after he was picked up as a stray. He is a sweet, handsome boy who is looking for a forever family of his own. He is somewhat shy right now, but who can blame him with the recent changes he has been through. Training will help him build confidence, learn good manners and bond with his family.  Stay tuned for more updates on Waldo as we get to know him.

Handsome Sternis was brought to a trainer and abandoned by his owner. Although the trainer could tell that Sternis was an amazing guy, he could not bring in another dog. Without any other options available, the trainer took Sternis to a shelter hoping he would find a new forever family. Recognizing that Sternis deserved so much more than they might be able to provide, shelter staff immediately began networking Sternis to see if a rescue could help him find a family that would commit to him for a lifetime. When MAGSR heard his plea, we stepped forward.

Sternis is an absolute love. Everyone who meets him falls for this guy. Handsome, playful, and stable, Sternis has weathered the changes in his life well. However, he is ready to stop moving from one place to another. This boy is definitely ready for his forever home. As a young dog, Sternis still has a lot to learn about being a good canine citizen. A household that will provide structure, leadership, and consistency will help Sternis settle into his new life. Training will also be highly beneficial for Sternis as it will not only help him bond to his new family, but it will also help him develop the skills he needs to maintain his stable demeanor. Sternis is looking for a loving and active family that will provide him with opportunities to exercise his body and mind daily. If Sternis sounds like a good match for your family, ask to meet him today!

Sweet Han was a stray to shelter. Looking at his current condition, it is evident that Han has endured a lot over his short life. When no one came to claim Han, MAGSR stepped up to help this guy find a home that will commit to him for a lifetime.

Although Han has been through a lot, his hardship and suffering are over. As a member of the MAGSR family, Han will receive the food, medical care, and comforts the he deserves. Han is a friendly guy even though he has clearly suffered. Once comfortable, he gives soft kisses and big tail wags to his people. An expert in the car, Han rides well and settles down nicely. He does appear to already have started some crate training and will likely pick up other household skills quickly. If you can provide Han with the comfort and leadership that this fantastic guy deserves, please ask to meet him today. 

Duke and his buddy, King, were surrendered to a shelter when their owner could no longer afford to provide them with the care they needed. When the boys arrived at the shelter, staff immediately realized that they were a special pair. Recognizing that Duke and King would have their best chance at remaining together in a forever home if they were placed in a rescue, the shelter reached out to MAGSR; we were happy to jump in and help out as this adorable pair was too sweet to pass up!

MAGSR has a long-standing policy of not leaving families behind. When we commit to a dog, we commit to the entire canine family whether or not they are GSDs. All members of a family are welcomed into MAGSR with the promise of finding everyone safe and loving forever homes.

King is a handsome, happy-go-lucky two year old purebred GSD that draws his security and confidence from his ten year old Jack Russell Terrier brother Duke! Just as King depends on Duke, Duke, who is blind, depends on King to guide him through life. This pair is not only bonded, but they are absolutely dependent on one another. They thrive together. 

Duke is an absolute sweetheart and as laid back as they come. His disability does not seem to slow this little guy down! He is a happy little guy that manages daily life just fine. Dogs are creatures of habits and have incredible memories so learning the lay of your home and yard will be an easy next step for Duke.

Duke and King, our sweet odd couple, are a special pair in need of a forever home. If you could see them fitting into your family please inquire today!! 

A good samaritan found little miss Myna wandering alone in a busy city. Knowing that this little girl needed a safe refuge, she was brought to a shelter where she waited for someone to come and claim her. When no one came for little Myna, MAGSR stepped in to help her find a loving forever home. Myna is a sweetheart who can be a little shy with new people. When given time to warm up her personality shines. As is true of all puppies, Myna will benefit from socialization and training. This will help her develop the skills needed to develop into a good canine citizen. Myna is currently living in a loving foster family; they are starting to teach her all of the ins and outs of living in a household. As they get to know Myna better, they will post updates here. If sweet Myna sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

One of the largest puppy mill busts found hundreds of German Shepherd's living in absolute filth and in horrendous condition.  Ankle deep mud and feces mixed with urine, no adequate shelter, lacking food and clean water is how these dogs were left to live, many for years.  The urgent call was made and MAGSR knew we had to take in as many as possible.  We now have 38 dogs that have a multitude of medical needs that we are addressing, and they need to learn to trust humans.  All dogs are scared, some are shut down, but our volunteers and vets will get them on their road to recovery.  It will be awhile before these dogs are ready for adoption, so please be patient and watch for updates. 

An undertaking of this size for an all-volunteer rescue is quite a task, but one we are meeting it head on.  Many of the dogs require medical boarding so that they can receive the best possible care.  We are committed to providing everything they need, not only medically, but emotionally.  Our medical costs are going to be at an amount we have never seen before.  We need your help, the dogs need your help.  Please donate , your donation will go towards their ongoing care, medical needs, emotional needs and help them on their road to recovery and a brighter future.

Sweet and handsome Louis was found wandering around as a stray in a not so good area.  Fortunately, some kind people found him and brought him to the safe location where he waited for a family to come and claim him. When no one came for Louis, he was welcomed into the MAGSR family with the promise that we would find him a loving forever home. Louis is as sweet as they come. He is friendly with both people and dogs. In many ways Louis is a blank slate who is ready to move forward with his new family. Like all dogs, Louis will benefit from training as it will not only help him integrate into his new family, but it will also help him become a good canine citizen. Louis is looking for a forever family that will commit to him for a lifetime. If Louis sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today. 

Teddy and his brother, Milton, are siblings from different litters. They were living with their parents and a few other dogs on a breeder's property. When the owner could no longer keep the dogs safe, they were surrendered to another rescue. Recognizing that both boys would likely have their best shot at finding their forever home in another region, Teddy and Milton were transferred to MAGSR. 

Teddy is a young and friendly guy. Having grown up with dogs of a variety of ages, he enjoys the company of other dogs. Teddy is playful and interactive. According to his owner, Teddy has grown up with children and did well with them. Although we know that Teddy had an owner, we are not sure if he was kept as an inside dog or an outside dog. We do know that he did not have any vetting prior to his arrival at MAGSR. Unfortunately, Teddy is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if he had been provided with monthly heartworm preventatives. Teddy has already begun his heartworm treatment and is doing well. The cost of Teddy's entire treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Treatment is expensive, but Teddy is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating toward Teddy's treatment. Your generosity will help us save him and other dogs with medical needs. Although Teddy will need to take it slow over the next few months, he will be back to full strength once his treatment is finished. If your household is looking for a sweet, beautiful guy, please ask to meet him today. 

Sheena is a survivor. This special and incredibly sweet girl was used for years as a breeding dog. It was evident when rescuers came in to get her that this lovely lady had endured great pain and hardship. Emaciated and chained outside, Sheena was simply being used for puppy production. 

Although Sheena is a victim of cruelty and neglect, this lovely lady has the sweetest disposition. She is an incredible companion and has been friendly with everyone she has met. Our volunteers are simply in awe of her strength and resilience. Now that Sheena has joined the MAGSR family, she is experiencing kindness and love. Sheena is learning the rules of a household, basic commands, and the joy of a comfortable bed. At this time, Sheena is waiting patiently for a forever home that will provide her with the care and kindness she deserves. If Sheena sounds like a good match for your household, please ask to meet her today.

Kota and her best buddy, Birch, were found wandering around in the south. Although the two dogs were wearing identification, when animal control contacted their family, they were told that the dogs were no longer wanted. As this friendly pair deserves to be loved and cared for in their golden years, our friends at animal control called and asked if we could welcome this pair into the MAGSR family. 

Kota and Birch are a bonded pair and rely on one another for safety and comfort. Although they were tossed aside by their former family, they remain sweet and loving dogs. Currently residing with a fantastic foster family, Kota and Birch are moving forward with the comfort of soft beds, good food, and the attention they deserve. Although we are still getting to know this lovely pair, it does appear that they have previously lived in a household and do know some of the general household expectations. As we learn more about Kota and Birch, we will provide updates. If you can provide this special pair with the loving forever home they so clearly deserve, please ask to meet them today.

Neko is a playful young pup who recently joined the MAGSR family. Having lived in a loving foster family prior to his arrival at MAGSR, Neko has had the opportunity to begin learning the ins and outs of living in a household. Although Neko was cherished in his foster home, his foster family could no longer care for him due to a change in circumstances. When a plea came out for another rescue to step in, MAGSR answered the call.

Neko is in many ways still a puppy at 10-12 months and like any puppy he has endless energy and curiosity. Adventurous and confident, Neko is a fan of new people and dogs. He is known to greet both with play bows and tail wags. Having lived with children in his previous placement, Neko enjoys interacting with people of all ages. As is true of all dogs from puppies to seniors, Neko will benefit from training. This will help him not only bond with his new family but it will help him develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to become. Although Neko is a young and overall healthy guy, he has been living in a region where mosquitoes carrying heartworms are prevalent. Unfortunately, this boy was not kept up to date on preventatives and heartworm positive. The cost of Neko’s entire treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Treatment is expensive, but Neko is definitely more than worth the cost. Please consider making a donation toward Neko's treatment. Your generosity will help us save him and other dogs with medical needs. Although Neko will need to take it slow over the next few months, he will be back to full strength once his treatment is finished. If Neko sounds like the right match for your family, please ask to meet this sweet guy today!

Kat and her brother Cloud were surrendered to a shelter when their owner could no longer keep them safe. With extreme cases of overcrowding in shelters in the south right now due to the unprecedented weather they are experiencing, shelters are pleading for rescues to help move dogs to safety. When asked to help Kat and Cloud move forward, we immediately welcomed them into the MAGSR family. 

Kat is social and friendly. It is highly evident that her family loved her and worked hard to keep her socialized. Her wiggly personality quickly wins over the hearts of everyone around her. Although we know that Kat had a family, we do know know if she was kept as an inside or an outside dog. As we get to know her, we will post updates. Unfortunately, we have learned that Kat is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if she had been provided with monthly heartworm preventatives. Kat has already begun her heartworm treatment and is doing well. The cost of Kat's entire treatment will be covered by MAGSR. Treatment is expensive, but Kat is clearly more than worth the cost. Please consider donating toward Kat's treatment. Your generosity will help us save her and other dogs with medical needs.
