I'm so sorry. I broke my foot 2009 - just after Christmas. What a HUGE pain. Hope your foot heals quickly.

Ouch! Hope you feel better soon. I couldnt' take any loopy meds when I broke my leg. My body doesn't process them well.

MAGSR is the rescue area shelters contact first. Unfortunately everybody is full and they always have a long waitlist. Around the holidays even established fosters take a break. There is simply not enough space for all the nice dogs from area shelters, unfortunately. I always get a response quickly when I contact them and they are aware of the dog already. It is always too many dogs and too few people willing to inconvenience themselves by taking in a homeless dog. Very sad, with the economy and people losing their homes. They probably get hundreds of emails daily from people informing them about dogs and they probably don't have the manpower to respond to all.

Welcome
They are a good, solid, rescue group.

Jax08, thank you for the info. As soon as I read this yesterday I filled out an ap to volunteer and they contacted me within minutes. They say I am a little out of the area but could work with that. I do not mind coming across the bridge at all. Maybe I will try MAGSR as well.

If you try MAGSR, it is better to submit a volunteer application and wait to hear for them. Phone is less efficient.
There is also Reach out Rescue, they are very active and often rescue German Shepherds (if they have someone to volunteer to foster them).

VGSR is wonderful group, I do know someone there.. I adopted the deaf GSD from one of the foster moms.. I am so thrilled having her with us. we cant imagine our home without her anymore.

Jax08 · 12-30-2011, 02:19 PM

VGSR have some beautiful dogs! They are all over my FB today!

Over the past 6-7 yrs I've helped pull dogs for many of the better known rescues in the northeast, including MAGSR and I think they all try to help as much as they can depending on their financial resources and foster homes they have available. I'm sure day after day they receive hundreds of notices of dogs in need and they can't take them all, unfortunately.

Besides needing more foster homes, it's very helpful for the rescues to have people available in the area where a dog is located to offer to pull it and hold it for them and also take it to the local vet's to be fully vetted prior to transport .. (esp if vetting costs are cheaper in your area) The more help we give the rescues the more willing they will be to pull a dog when you contact them. Sadly some of the dogs aren't rescue candidates because of temperment issues as we all know and also some of the rescues now will only take in dogs who have tested HW neg. prior to being pulled because of the high cost of treatment.

I think the more help we give the rescues the more willing they are to help pull dogs.. it makes their job easier..

Reach Out Rescue and resources is one of the best groups I have worked with in a long long time. I took in a foster the end of nov for them(GSD) she had 7 puppies dec 1st!! I cannot stop rescue because it is a holiday Their goal is black dogs old dogs and hounds BUT they take everything in between!! I have fostered several GSD's for them and RORR is great to work with. ( just my 2 cents )Vol are in va wva pa md del and anywhere anyone wants to help
