rself in a shelter that was significantly over capacity and needed help in order to move forward. Fortunately, the shelter team knew that options for Carley were limited but that this sweetheart deserved to find a forever family of her very own. So, they reached out to MAGSR for help. Our team agreed that Carley was special and deserved a chance to move forward. A plan began to be put into place for Carley. Volunteers from the shelter where she was located, volunteers from Pilots and Paws, and volunteers from MAGSR came together to move Carley up the coast into a loving MAGSR foster home. Teamwork really does make the dream work. Charismatic Carley is friendly, affectionate, and rather calm for her age and breed. Her overall easy-going personality has won over the hearts of everyone who has met her. We don't know anything about her past; however, it is beyond obvious that someone along her journey loved Carley and made sure she was socialized appropriately. In addition to people, Carley has done well with other dogs and has yet to show any reactions to cats. This is very impressive for a stray as staying alive often requires some prey drive. Without any knowledge of her previous life, we are going slow in our introductions to household living. However, we know that Carley, like all GSDs, will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. Her foster family is working to ensure that Carley understands the expectations in the household and meets with success. As is true for all new dogs, it is critical that her forever family provide Carley with time and patience to adjust to their household routines. Training will go a long way with Carley. Not only will training help her bond to her new family, but it will also help her develop the skills to become a good canine citizen. Unfortunately, Carley is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided had she been kept up to date with preventatives. Knowing that Carley needed to move forward with treatment, the shelter began the first steps in this process and our team has taken over care. Heartworm treatment is expensive, but we know Carley is worth more than the cost. Please consider donating to Carley's care. Your donation will not only help Carley, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs to the MAGSR family. Carley will need to take it easy over the next couple of months during treatment. However, we already know that she will be good at that. This little lady would love to be recuperating in a home of her very own. If Carley sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today.
