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.

Ruby (fka Mama Bear)

Ruby has adjusted very well to our household. She gets along wonderfully with our other dog, Ovi and our two small children. She was Heartworm positive when we adopted her. We are overjoyed that as of 2/5/21, she has completed her Heartworm treatment and is now Heartworm negative!! She’s been cleared to play and exercise.  Ruby has loved all of the snow we’ve had. She loves to jump into piles of it and sled with the kids.

Jasper

Jasper

Greetings from Colorado! Jasper is my wonderful baby and he has really bonded with me. I absolutely love him, and we are continuing to have a trainer come over to work with us. He's doing great and is settling into his new home.nicely.  His next training session is this Monday. The cats have been a challenge, but he is getting better slowly.  With patience and consistency I think it's going to work out fine. He's a big personality and is growing into his own, which is good. I think he's feeling more and more at home and has started barking in the backyard as a watch dog. He's a character for sure.  The other day he had a big black kong toy in his mouth and started barking with it and the kong muffled out his bark. I started cracking up -- it was funny.  I'm glad we chose to keep him and have the trainer coming over again tomorrow. He is really looking good and his coat is very shiny. We are walking him and the other dogs often and he's doing well with that, too.

She's doing well and now has taken on a mom roll!  We had to put down both our boys last year which was heartbreaking, but she persevered. Now she has a little one to take care of.

Wonderful Buddy has been with us since October, 2020 and we are totally in love with him.  He is full of adorable puppy energy and is as smart as any GSD we have had.  Even though it turns out he is half Husky.  He's a friendly player at doggie day camp, swims. and is learning agility, and soon he may be doing the cooking and cleaning.  Thank you MAGSR for our amazing Buddy.

Tango

Tango (adopted Oct 2020) is doing fantastic in his new home. It has taken him a little while to get settled, and we had a few bumps in the road during the transition but it was nothing a little time, patience and advice from our trainer couldn't handle. Although he loves all his new family members, mom is his absolute favorite. He LOVES playing fetch and going on walks around our farm. His favorite spot (besides wherever mom is) is the back pasture where he can play fetch, "keep away" with his little puppy sister or just lounge. He has adjusted to our horses and even let's them groom him. He is very smart and often only needs to be told something once (unless the stakes are high, ... like ham in the trash can or those pesky squirrels who are just asking to be chased). He still wins the award for Most Vocal Shepherd, but even that's improving with time. He thrives on routine, esp at night when he helps us tuck the kiddos into bed and then immediately goes into the kitchen to get his well deserved chew (pig ear, bully stick, etc). He makes us laugh every day! He's come a long way since he came home with more to go, but we just love him to pieces and are so glad he's ours!

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!

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.
