Mission
Mid-Atlantic German Shepherd Rescue is dedicated to rehabilitating and providing a second chance to German shepherds and shepherd mixes that have been abandoned, abused, lost, strayed, or surrendered. Through our community outreach events around the Mid-Atlantic region, we teach and encourage responsible pet ownership and pet population control. Our all-volunteer organization works diligently to locate loving and responsible owners who wish to make their new dog(s) members of their family -- forever. MAGSR remains committed to helping end the needless overpopulation, death, abuse, and neglect of dogs in our area and in improving the lives of the dogs as well as their new owners

Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Problem - Dogs that are not spayed or neutered results in unwanted and uncared for puppies We aim to reduce unwanted puppies by requiring that all of our dogs are spayed or neutered including puppies at the appropriate age. We fund all neuter/spay of adults dogs that come into the rescue. Our adoption contract requires all puppies to be neutered or spayed upon reaching an appropriate age which we commit to paying for. We also will accept pregnant female dogs and puppies into the organization to reduce more unwanted puppies.
