About Saxom

DESCRIPTION: Saxom is a truly special guy with a big heart and an even bigger spirit. He first arrived in MAGSR's care a few years ago alongside his son, Ozzie, after tragedy struck — their family's home was lost in a fire, and both boys were surrendered to a local shelter. Confused, scared, and struggling like so many German Shepherds do in that environment, Saxom and Ozzie needed help. MAGSR stepped in to give them the second chance they deserved. With time, patience, and love, both dogs thrived — finding families who adored them. Although we always hope every adoption is forever, sometimes life takes unexpected turns. And at MAGSR, we stand by our promise: “Once a MAGSR dog, always a MAGSR dog.” When Saxom recently needed to come back to us, our team made sure he had a safe and loving foster home waiting. Upon his return, it was discovered that he had developed perianal fistula, a chronic inflammatory condition more common in German Shepherds. While this condition requires ongoing care and daily medication, our amazing team and his devoted foster family are committed to keeping Saxom comfortable and happy. Despite his medical needs, Saxom's joyful spirit shines through every day. He loves his toys — especially his ball — and his foster family keeps the toy basket well-stocked to make sure playtime is never missed. As a senior gentleman, he enjoys a good balance of fun and rest, curling up on a cozy bed for pets and relaxation between play sessions. Saxom's care does come with significant costs — his medications, specialized food, and regular vet check-ins are all part of ensuring he stays healthy and happy. If you'd like to help this incredible boy, please consider donating toward Saxom's care. Most of all, Saxom is still hoping that the right family will come along to love him through his golden years. Could you be the one to give this loyal, loving soul the forever home he deserves?
