urces or care they needed, the girls spent their early days living outside without consistent attention or guidance. Recognizing that the puppies deserved a safer, healthier start, their owner made the responsible decision to surrender them to MAGSR. This opened the door for each girl to grow into a confident, stable adult with the support of a loving family. Shania is a brave little sweetheart with a big heart and an even bigger desire for love. Despite her tough beginnings, she’s discovering just how wonderful the world can be—one cuddle, treat, and wagging tail at a time. Curious, affectionate, and looking for direction, she’s finally experiencing the positive moments she missed early on. Shania can be a little shy with new people and unfamiliar environments. She’s still learning that new experiences can be fun and that people are typically kind. Her foster family is working diligently to help her build confidence, and she is responding beautifully to their leadership. As with all shepherds, training will go a long way in helping Shania grow. It will not only teach her the skills she needs to be a good canine citizen, but also help her form a strong, trusting bond with her forever family. With time, patience, and consistent guidance, Shania is opening up and showing her people her truly amazing personality. Having lived with several dogs in her previous home, Shania is dog-friendly and people-friendly. We don’t yet know how she’ll do with cats or other small furry friends, but time will tell. As adorable as she is, Shania is still very much a puppy. She will whine, have accidents, and entertain you with endless puppy antics. But with training, routine, and plenty of opportunities to learn, Shania will grow into an incredible adult dog. Her foster family has been working hard to build a strong foundation of skills, and she’s ready to continue her journey with a family who can provide the structure, routine, and encouragement she needs to thrive. In return, Shania will bring joy, devotion, and that special rescue-dog gratitude that fills a home with love. Shania is ready for her forever family—could it be you?

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
