Allie and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:

DESCRIPTION:

Amazing Allie was picked up as a stray in the south. Clearly a friendly girl, she was brought to a shelter where she waited for her family to come and claim her. Although she waited patiently, no one came forward for Allie. With many shelters at critical capacity with animals in need, far too many dogs do not make it out alive. Recognizing that Allie was very special, shelter staff began working with rescue organizations to network Allie. Fortunately, word reached MAGSR before it was too late and we were able to welcome Allie to the family. 

Allie is a ray of sunshine. She is filled to the brim with joy and happiness. Excited to say hi to everyone she meets, it is impossible to meet this little lady without grinning ear to ear. Affectionate and wiggly, it is beyond obvious that Allie was well socialized with people before her arrival. Allie also seems to enjoy the company of other dogs. She is interactive and playful while reading the body language of the other dog well. As Allie was a stray, we do not know what her experiences were in a household prior to her arrival; however, we do know Allie is a quick learner who is eager to please. With structure, routine, and leadership, Allie is sure to thrive. Training is also an important next step for Allie. Not only will training help Allie build a strong bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Unfortunately, we have discovered that Allie is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided with a monthly preventative. Allie's heartworm treatment is beginning. As a result, she will need to take it easy over the next few months. Heartworm treatment is very expensive, but Allie is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating to Allie's treatment as it will not only help us give her the care she needs, but it will also help us provide medical support to other dogs in need. Allie is looking for a forever family that will love her for a lifetime. If she sounds like the right match for you, ask to meet Allie today.

Autumn and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:

DESCRIPTION:

The Fall puppies - Autumn, Cider, Ember, Maple, Pumpkin, and Sweet Potato (Tator) - were an accidental litter. Raised together with their parents, these dogs have had the chance to learn many doggy social skills. Although their human family enjoyed the puppies, it can be difficult to care for a large litter and challenging to find safe and loving homes. Recognizing that the Fall puppies would be most successful if placed within a breed specific rescue, their family contacted MAGSR. We promised that we would find each pup a safe and loving forever family that would cherish these babies for a lifetime. 

The Fall puppies are very large babies for their age. They are clearly big fans of food. Having spent time outside, these babies love the sights, sounds, and smells of the outdoors. So, they are hoping their forever families love adventures. Although these babies have been socialized well with their doggy family, they have not been exposed to many new people or situations. Socialization is critical to their success. Recognizing that social skills are essential as the Fall puppies move forward, our amazing volunteers are already beginning this process. Learning the ins and outs of living in a household, these babies are learning the joys of endless toys, comfortable beds, and loads of love. As they continue to move forward, all six babies will strive in households that will provide the structure, routine, and leadership that all shepherds crave. 

Although these babies are absolutely adorable, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless antics. With time, training, and patience, all 6 babies - Autumn, Cider, Ember, Maple, Pumpkin, and Sweet Potato - will develop into good canine citizens. If one of the Fall puppies sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet these fluffy bundles of joy today!

Update:

Autumn is an intelligent and spunky girl. With a goofy and silly side, Autumn keeps her foster family entertained for hours. She has clearly learned the joy of toys and is happy to play for hours. True of many of our more alpha-minded dogs, Autumn can be intense and have a lot of GSD energy. As a strong female, she is going to push boundaries and see what she can get away with. Autumn is looking for a forever family that will provide her with the structure, routine, and leadership that all GSDs need to thrive. It is important that she exercise both her body and her mind on a daily basis. As Autumn is driven and eager to please, she is the perfect candidate for training. Fortunately, Autumn's foster family has already started this process. Not a surprise, Autumn is a star student. As Autumn moves forward, continued training will be needed. Additional training will not only help Autumn create a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Autumn is looking for an active family that will provide her with adventures during the day and a good cuddle at night. If this lovely girl sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

Bailey and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:

DESCRIPTION:

Beautiful Bailey was adored by her family. They knew she was a special girl and ensured that she had endless love, attention, and plenty of toys. However, when an unexpected event took place, they were unable to keep Bailey and provide her with the life they knew she deserved. Recognizing that we would provide Bailey with everything she needed to meet with success, her family made the heartbreaking decision to return her to the MAGSR. Knowing this was a very difficult decision, we promised we would find Bailey the perfect forever family. 

Bailey is an active, intelligent, and playful girl. She loves her people fiercely and gives them every ounce of affection she has. With some very strong GSD traits, Bailey is loyal, protective, and on point. She tends to notice everything around her and keeps an eye on her people at all times.  As a girl with a high prey drive, smaller creatures can be a little too enticing for Bailey. She finds joy in chasing small creatures, such as rabbits and squirrels, and will need to be monitored closely if they are out and about with her. Fond of the outdoors, Bailey is always up for a long walk, hike, or adventure. She takes cues well from the handler and knows many commands. Lucky to have lived in a loving household for a few years, Bailey has developed a solid understanding of and appreciation for toys; she is hoping her forever family enjoys them too! She loves to play ball and can't help but enjoy a good squeaky toy. With a few years of experience living in a home, Bailey has also developed an affinity for a soft bed. She loves cuddling up on her dog bed and doesn't mind having a dog bed or two in the house just to change up viewpoints throughout the day. Although Bailey is crate trained and housebroken, once settled, she prefers to be out and about. This seems to keep her more settled throughout the day. As is true of all shepherds Bailey will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. Providing clear boundaries and expectations will help Bailey meet with success. Bailey has already completed some basic training; however, she is always up for more! Continued training is essential to Bailey's success. Not only will it help her develop her canine citizenship skills, but it will also help her develop a strong and healthy bond with her forever family. 

If your family is looking for an active girl who will fill your days with doggy smiles, squeaky toys, and plenty of exercise, Bailey is your girl. 

 

 

Update:

I am a 5 yr old girl with a lot of spunk.  I get real excited when it's time to go out.  I like people, but I'm reactive to other dogs.  I am good with my commands, I am crate trained, I like laying at my human's feet in the evenings.  When my people leave, I get all upset, I seem to do better when left out of  my crate.  I have a good appetite and take treats gently, and I'm good on walks. I feel like Super Girl, can jump a 5 ft door at the kennel.  I like to play with stuffed toys, I'm not a big fan of balls.  I like to play in the pool at the kennel.  If I sound like the dog for you, I"m looking for my forever home.

Calandria and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:

DESCRIPTION:

Calandria, affectionately called Cali, and her mom (Talia) were dumped at a shelter in the south in the fall. Cali was put out for adoption and Talia was sent to the euthanasia room. MAGSR asked for both dogs in the Fall; however, Cali was adopted out to the public. So, Talia joined the MAGSR family and moved forward in another direction. Unfortunately, at the end of January, Calandria found herself right back at the shelter. Her adoptive mom had passed away and, it seems, Cali did not have as many opportunities to socialize as we would have liked while in her care. With the shelter over-capacity, Calandria found herself in the euthanasia room that her mother barely escaped. When we discovered Calandria was back at the shelter, we stepped in and made sure she found her way to the MAGSR family. We do not leave families behind. 

Cali is stunning just like her mother. Intelligent and cuddly once comfortable, Cali is looking for a family that will give her time to decompress. This girl can be unsure, but when given time and patience, Cali does well with a calm and confident handler. She will thrive in an environment with structure, routine, and daily exercise. Still a very young dog, it is imperative that Cali's family socialize her with new people, new animals, and new environments. This will help her develop into a stable adult shepherd. Training is also essential. Not only will training help Cali develop a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her build the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Cali is looking for a special forever family that will continue to support her as she moves forward. If your family is looking for a lovely, curious, and affectionate girl, ask to meet sweet Cali today!

Update:

From her foster:

So far she is super friendly with people and other dogs! She is learning house manners and crate training to prepare her for her new furever home.

Chloe and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:

DESCRIPTION:

Chloe was, like so many other dogs, picked up as a stray and brought to a shelter in the south. Although she waited out her stray hold, as soon as it was up, she was placed on the list for euthanasia. Chloe had not done anything wrong. She was simply one too many at a shelter where thirty to forty animals arrive every day. Recognizing that Chloe deserved a home of her very own, another rescue stepped in and pulled Chloe to safety. They knew that they likely could not place Chloe, but hoped to work with another rescue when openings occurred. When asked if we could transfer Chloe into the MAGSR family, we knew this girl was a good match. 

Charming Chloe has been living with her foster family for the last month. During this time, she has been learning the ins and outs of living in a safe and loving home. As an intelligent girl, Chloe has adjusted to the routines and expectations of the household and is thriving. Chloe is hoping that her forever family will also provide her with clear structure, routines, and leadership. However, as is true of any new dog, she will need time to adjust to her forever home. Chloe is also hoping that her forever family will provide her with training. Training is essential for all dogs to meet with success. Not only does training help create strong and healthy bonds, but it also teaches the skills needed to become good canine citizens. Chloe is looking for a forever family that loves to get out and about, but is also happy to snuggle up in the evenings. If this stunning girl sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today.

Libby and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:

DESCRIPTION:

Animal control officers were asked to do a welfare check on a set of dogs in the south. When they arrived, they found three dogs living in deplorable conditions on tie-outs outside in the elements. All three dogs were extremely emaciated, covered in filth, heartworm positive and in need of immediate care. Due to the condition of the dogs, all three were confiscated instantly and brought into a shelter. Upon their arrival, staff members at the shelter began working with the dogs to tend to their most critical needs. However, they knew that these dogs would need a lot of help to move forward. Due to overwhelming numbers of dogs in need, all three dogs found themselves on the list to be euthanized as soon as their case was cleared. Another rescue was able to pull two of the dogs. However, lovely Libby was left without many options. Fortunately, our team learned of Libby's plight just hours before she was scheduled to cross and was able to move her to the safety of the MAGSR family.  

Libby is one special little lady. Although scared and unsure in the overcrowded shelter environment, Libby did well with a gentle hand, some extra patience, and plenty of treats. When out of her run and away from the chaos of the shelter environment, staff members noted that Libby has a calm demeanor and independence that make her a unique and endearing companion. Although Libby likes some time and space to herself, she is equally interested in interacting with her human companions. Libby can be shy and timid when first meeting new people, but when given the opportunity to develop trust, her loyalty knows no bounds. When around other dogs at the shelter, Libby maintained her polite composure and gentle interest. Before introducing her to any new furry companions, we have been giving Libby time to rest and heal with an incredible foster family. This has given her the opportunity to learn all about warm baths, good family, comfortable beds, and the routine of living in a home. We have promised Libby that we will make sure her forever family fills her world with endless days of comfort. 

Although she has been working toward recovery, when Libby first arrived in our care she was severely emaciated, filled with worms, suffering from a bad upper respiratory infection, and dealing with untreated heartworms. Since her arrival, our team has been working hard to make sure that Libby receives the attention and care she deserves to move forward in safety and comfort. Although Libby's medical care is expensive, we know she is more than worth the cost. Please consider donating to Libby's continued medical care. Not only will your donation help Libby continue to move forward, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs into the MAGSR family. When ready, Libby will be looking for a patient and loving forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Lolly and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:

DESCRIPTION:

Lolly is nothing short of a survivor. This girl was picked up as a stray with another female dog who it was assumed was her sister and brought to a crowded shelter. Both girls were in poor condition. Emaciated, missing fur, covered in a skin sores, and heartworm positive, they entered the shelter just as a distemper outbreak occurred. Although both girls were very sweet, they were quickly added to the list for euthanasia. Luckily, they were pulled from the euthanasia room at the last second by another rescue when an incredible foster stepped up to help. Not all fosters are ready for one dog, but this one was open to two. 

The girls were tightly bonded and were lucky to leave with their lives. Shortly after they arrived in care, Lolly's sister popped positive with distemper. This virus is often extremely challenging and takes many lives. Although she fought hard, Lolly's sister did not survive leaving Lolly alone and grieving. Her foster made sure Lolly had everything she needed to keep moving forward. He quarantined Lolly to make sure that she did not come down with the virus, kept her company, and began addressing her other medical needs. With her skin issues addressed, her weight back up where it belongs, and her heartworms gone, Lolly has made huge strides. After months of recovery, Lolly is ready to find a forever family of her very own thanks to the love and support of her foster dad. 

Lovely Lolly is an interactive girl. She enjoys the company of her human and canine companions. Now that she can be a dog, Lolly enjoys romping around outside. She has learned the joys of toys and a comfortable bed. Having lived with a foster for the last several months, Lolly has also been learning the ins and outs of living in a home. However, as is true of any new dog, this girl will need a chance to adjust to the routines and expectations of her forever family. A home with clear routines, structure, and leadership will help her thrive. Training will also go a long way with Lolly. Not only will training help her bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Lolly is looking for that special family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Update:

Lolly is still decompressing- she is very sweet, affectionate and wants to be a small lap dog- but she can’t because she is too big!  This southern cutie came up in the freezing cold and is handling her transition changes very well.  She discovered she enjoys snow, and it tastes good! Lolly is house trained, and is doing well with crate training. She is enjoying being with other dogs around her size.  This is one food motivated pup which will be good for the basic training she was never taught.

Maggie and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:

DESCRIPTION:

Sweet Maggie came to MAGSR as an owner-surrender with two of her littermates. Her previous family realized they were overwhelmed and couldn’t raise a large number of dogs the way they felt these pups deserved. So, they made the decision to surrender the pups to MAGSR. We know this was a very difficult decision, but we also know that this family wanted these pups to have endless love, attention, and opportunities. We are still learning about Maggie at this time. What we do know is she was loved and adored by her previous family and is looking for a forever family that will help her move forward with basic obedience, structure, and boundaries.

Here is what Maggie's foster has to say about her:

“Maggie is an absolute love bug with the sweetest eyes that speak volumes; she truly only wants to be around her people 24/7.  She is not only the most adorable puppy, but smart and eager to please!  It helps that she is treat and food motivated, as she is quickly picking up what boundaries are and what is acceptable behavior.  She’s learning the crate isn’t a bad place, but a place to decompress and take a minute away from her large and furry foster brother.  Maggie loves it when her tiny human sister gets her out of the crate, and greets everyone with adorable puppy kisses!  She still has the faint smell of puppy breath and her coat is 100% puppy fluff!  Maggie sure knows how to welcome you from your long journey (if she wasn’t velcroed to your side) from either the kitchen, bathroom, living room or even a long day at school/work with the most adorable puppy-butt-wiggles, puppy-hops all the while staring you down with 1,000% puppy eyes filled with nothing but love! 

Maggie is doing very well learning basic obedience including sitting, walking on a leash, potty training while understanding what structure and boundaries are.  She is always looking up for approval, and tiny motivational treats go a long way!”

As with any puppy, her furever family will need to provide the essentials -  training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance.

If Maggie sounds like your ideal ‘FURever’ companion, please consider adopting her!

Molly and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:

DESCRIPTION:

Molly is the mom to the 11 Hogwarts puppies. This family was part of a cruelty and neglect case within Maryland. Upon their arrival at the shelter, staff did everything they could to begin working with this family. They were able to foster Molly's puppies out within the MAGSR family; however, Molly needed to remain at the shelter while she awaited a decision on her case. Although she was extremely emaciated, covered with fleas, and weak, Molly appreciated the kindness of staff members and slowly began warming up to new people. Shelter staff worked hard to help Molly begin the recovery process and began getting her some much needed vetting. However, Molly was significantly weakened by the years of mal-treatment and the need to keep her puppies healthy and strong. As a result, a case of kennel cough quickly escalated. When volunteers came through to move Molly into the MAGSR family, they knew something was not right. Molly's kennel cough had evolved and become two-fold. She now had pneumonia and bronchitis. Fortunately, our team came together to ensure that Molly was safe and received all the care she needed. With time, patience, and some extra TLC, Molly has made significant strides. Her body is much stronger and she is ready to move forward. 

Molly is an intelligent and energetic dog. She is looking for an active and experienced forever family that will help her meet her full potential. Having survived horrifying conditions in her previous household, Molly is looking for a home where she can be the focus of the family. A home where she can be the only pet would be her ideal situation. This way she can soak up all of the love and attention of her family while filling their lives with giggles, snuggles, and endless kisses. As she continues to move forward, Molly will need to exercise her body and her mind on a daily basis. Not only will this help her find a good balance within the household but it will also help her use her mind effectively. Molly is a big fan of toys and can be found playfully throwing them around while making her goofy sounds. She is good at keeping herself entertained but also enjoys a good game of fetch. This smart little lady is already picking up commands. She is learning to sit, down, drop it, come, and roll over. She can't wait to learn more! Food and praise motivated, Molly will be a blast at training. Training is essential as it will help Molly develop a strong, healthy bond with her family. It will also help her further develop her skills and socialization so that she can develop into a good canine citizen. Molly is looking for an active home that will provide her with a lifetime of love and attention. Could that be with you?

Novi and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:

DESCRIPTION:

Novi and her family - Tej, Anshu, and Asha - were dumped on the side of a busy road in the south. With traffic flying past at high speeds, this little family was not likely to survive for long. Fortunately, a good samaritan saw what was happening and stopped to try to help the family. With an incredible stroke of good luck she was able to corral the family and convince them to hop into her car. From there she took them to a rescue friendly boarding facility. Although the authorities were contacted and a stray hold was put into effect, no one came forward. Recognizing that this family would benefit from rescue placement, a plea went out for help. MAGSR knew this family deserved the chance to move forward as a unit, so our team welcomed all four members into the rescue. 

Novi is a stable, playful, and energetic girl. Clearly well socialized with people and adults, Novi is in many ways your typical, loveable ball of energy. She loves playing with her brother and still likes to know her people are close. Although Novi is already building a solid foundation of skills, it is critical that her family continue to provide her with opportunities to socialize with new people, animals, and environments. This will help her develop into a stable adult dog. It is obvious that Novi is an absolute doll, but please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, and training, Novi will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to become. If this little sweetheart sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

Update:

Novi requires a total hip replacement which will be WELL over $10K. 

All too frequently people choose to inappropriately breed dogs that are not health tested, and this has led to an increase in young dogs being born with genetically poor joints, particularly hips in German Shepherds. Novi, at less than a year old, has found herself in pain as she navigates hips that do not have the ability to support her growth. MAGSR is committed to getting her the highest standard of care, which means having her on a pain management program, hydrotherapy, and a total hip replacement surgery. She will also likely need extensive physical therapy post surgery and ongoing monitoring of, and possible future surgeries on, her other joints as she grows and the joints mature. Novi has a team of dedicated veterinary staff and MAGSR volunteers helping her forward-- do you want to be a part of her happy ending? Donate to her care now, and share her story with others!

DESCRIPTION:

Talia and one of her pups were surrendered to an overcrowded shelter in the south. Unfortunately, as is true of so many owner surrenders, they were immediately added to the list for euthanasia. Her puppy was immediately adopted by a local family leaving this lovely girl alone and without options. Talia was not placed in the general population; instead, she went immediately to the euthanasia room. When we learned about Talia's fate, our team began working with other rescue groups in the south and began putting a plan in place. As luck would have it the stars aligned and we were able to pull Talia just hours before she was scheduled to cross. 

Talia, or Tali as her foster family calls her, is a very special girl. It is very clear that humans have not always been kind to her; however, she still wants to interact and snuggle. We are always impressed by the level of resilience and gentleness of a dog who has been mistreated in the past. Talia is clearly a gentle soul who is looking for a patient family who will provide her with the structure and routine needed to move forward. A very submissive girl, Talia approaches most things hesitantly and needs a little time to adjust. When given this opportunity, she is able to meet with success. Once comfortable, Talia greets her people with little tail wags and wiggles. She gives the gentlest kisses and simply wants to be near you at all times. Well behaved in the household, Talia has impressed her foster family with how quiet and well behaved she has been so far. It is clear that this girl has been in a home before, but she is still learning all the ins and outs associated with household living. Her foster family is giving her the chance to slowly build these skills in a calm and positive manner. As Talia continues to move forward, she will benefit greatly from training. Not only will training help Talia develop a strong and healthy bond with her family, but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. 

Unfortunately, we have learned that Talia is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided had her family provided her with monthly heartworm preventatives. As she moves forward, MAGSR will cover the entirety of Talia's heartworm treatment. Heartworm treatment is very expensive; however, this special girl is clearly worth the cost. Please consider donating to Talia's care. Not only will your donation help us provide Talia with everything she needs, but it will also help us continue to welcome medical dogs to the MAGSR family. Fortunately, Talia's treatment has already begun and she is handling this first step well. We can't wait to see this lovely girl continue to move forward. If you are looking for a little lady who is looking for plenty of adventures during the day and snuggles at night, ask to meet Talia today.  

Update:

Talia, who is lovingly called Tali by her foster family, has been in her foster home for a few months. She has been very busy learning all the ins and outs of living in a home. At this time Tali is housebroken and crate trained. She thrives on routine and consistency. Preferring a quiet and calm environment, Tali loves to be near her people and is always up for a good snuggle and a belly rub. Her daily snuggle sessions bring her foster family endless giggles. Recognizing the importance of giving Tali positive experiences with new people, Tali was lucky and was chosen to participate in training with one of our training partners. This was an amazing opportunity for our lovely girl as it gave her the opportunity to work with new people and to build confidence. Tali knows several commands at this time but is always ready to learn more. With basic obedience in line, Tali has gained some needed confidence. However, it is still essential that her forever family continue this process in order to build a healthy bond together. 

While Tali has been adjusting to her foster family, we have also been continuing to address her medical needs. Tali completed her first 60 days of heartworm treatment and moved into the next phase of her treatment. Tali has had the first of her melarsomine injections and is resting comfortably while this next stage of the process gets underway. Tali will be taking it easy over the next two months as her body needs time to rest and recover. Her foster family is keeping close tabs on her and making sure she has everything she needs. Heartworm treatment is very expensive. Please consider donating to Tali's care. Your donation will help Tali get the medical care needed to move forward as well as help other dogs with medical needs join the MAGSR family.

Zoey and MAGSR thank these Sponsors for their generous support:

DESCRIPTION:

Lovely Zoey was brought home with a family when she was just a baby. Although they likely had good intentions at first, as Zoey started growing she was placed in the backyard and was not getting the care, attention, or socialization needed to develop into a stable, confident, and healthy adult dog. Recognizing that they couldn't provide for her, Zoey's family decided that she needed to find a new home. Fortunately, a good Samaritan learned about Zoey's situation and stepped in to help her move forward safely. Knowing Zoey would be most successful if she found placement within a rescue, Zoey's rescuer reached out to MAGSR for help. Our team immediately began working together to provide Zoey with an option to move forward. 

Zoey is a young, energetic, and intelligent girl. She will need an active family that is willing to exercise both her body and her mind on a daily basis. Having lived a somewhat secluded life, Zoey is just now learning the ins and out of being a dog. She is being exposed to new people, new situations, and new environments. This process can be a bit of a learning curve, but Zoey seems to be adjusting well. As Zoey continues to move forward, it is critical that her family continue this socialization process as it will help her build confidence and develop stability. The past few weeks have been filled with new experiences as well as new people and new toys. Zoey enjoys the company of her people and often greets them with big tail wags and affection. As is true of all shepherds, Zoey is looking for a family that will provide her with routine, structure, and leadership. Training is an essential piece of Zoey's future. Not only will training help her create a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Zoey is looking for a loving family that will give her endless opportunities to learn and meet with success. If she sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!
