This hunk of a pup is looking for a soft spot to live out his senior days. Fritz unfortunately lost his beloved owner, but has settled in nicely with his current foster family. This sweet gentleman comes with all the perks of adopting an older pup (wise, well-mannered, knows the ins and outs of living in a house) all while still having plenty of love to give! Fritz loves being by his people (hello Velcro pup!), nice walks, and gives the most perfect snuggles.

If you’re ready to scoop up this amazing boy and give him the life he deserves, check out his profile to learn more about Fritz!

Hope Update 🩷

Donate here: https://magsr.org/donate/hope

Back in February, Hope’s journey captured so many hearts when she underwent surgery to save her leg after severe infection and complications. Despite months of treatment, multiple rounds of antibiotics, and endless crate rest, the infection continued to return. After extensive conversations with her surgeon and veterinary team, the difficult decision was made to amputate her leg on Friday so she could finally have the chance to heal and truly move forward.

And honestly? Hope seems to know this was the right decision.

She is adjusting incredibly well — almost as if she knew life would be better without the painful leg holding her back. She’s already hopping around beautifully on her remaining back leg, figuring out her balance like a pro, even when going to the bathroom. And in true Hope fashion… her energy is BACK. You can’t keep that girl down for long.

Her incision site looks absolutely phenomenal, and we are so thankful for the amazing work done by her surgical team. Most importantly, she just seems happier. She’s slowing down for extra head pets, leaning in for cuddles, and able to rest more comfortably. The next few weeks will be about rest, recovery, and making sure she doesn’t overdo it now that she’s feeling better — but seeing her spirit shine through again has been such a gift.

Thank you to every single person who has donated, shared, and supported Hope through this incredibly long road. Your love gave her the chance to keep fighting, and she continues to prove every single day just how special she is. We still need your help!

MAGSR Community, we NEED your help.

Donate here: https://magsr.org/donate/hope

Back in February, so many of you rallied around Hope during one of the hardest moments of her life. Because of your support, she was given a chance to fight — and fight she has. 🧡

Since then, Hope has battled through infection not once, not twice, but THREE separate times. Each setback meant more medications, more vet visits, more crate rest, and more recovery. We hoped every round would finally be the last.

Unfortunately, Hope is now facing a FOURTH round of infection and antibiotics, which means she still has 12 weeks of strict crate rest ahead of her — with the heartbreaking possibility that she could still lose her leg at the end of it all.

After extensive discussions with her surgeon and veterinary team, the difficult decision has been made that amputating Hope’s leg is the best path forward for both her physical and mental well-being.

While this is not the outcome we hoped for, we truly believe this is the outcome that gives Hope the best chance at a happy, pain-free, full life. And if there’s one thing we know about Hope, it’s that she is resilient. Through everything, she remains a happy, loving girl who still greets the world with hope in her eyes.

Now, we need your help once again.

Hope’s amputation surgery and continued medical care are expected to cost up to $5,000. We know times are hard for everyone, but any donation — no matter the size — will go directly toward giving Hope the fresh start she deserves.

Please consider donating, sharing, and keeping Hope in your thoughts as she begins this next chapter. We have all the faith in the world that she is going to come out the other side stronger than ever, ready to live a fulfilled life with a forever family. 🧡 Click here to donate: https://magsr.org/donate/hope

📣📣 Cleo Grace has a very important announcement! 📣📣

It’s National Rescue Dog Day! She wants you to know that while you can’t change a dog’s past, you can rewrite their future. What better way to do that than to adopt me or one of my many friends here at MAGSR?!

She’d also love to see pictures of your adopted dogs (and maybe even a brief story!) that are already living their best life! Show them off in the comments!
