Maggie
Maggie has been adopted. Here is her story:
Adorable little Maggie has spent a week with a trainer who has been working with Maggie night and day. We feel we misrepresented her, and that is why she was not getting the exposure she needed to get adopted. Our trainer has introduced her to at least ten dogs each day, worked with her on leash and off leash at the dog park, and has great things to say about Maggie.
He tells us that Maggie is very good with people and seems to like everyone human. She does well with other dogs she knows either in her home or out and about, but she has trouble when meeting new dogs because she is fearful. Because she can be scared when meeting new dogs, she will try to bully them and bark. That being said, she has done well with the trainer and continues to show signs of improvement.
Maggie loves cats - she plays with them and even snuggles up to nap with one in foster care. She does not need huge, long walks or lots of time at the dog park. Because of her small size (she's only 12 pounds), she is perfectly fine to go on short walks in her neighborhood and have play time (she loves to fetch) in her secure back yard.
In Maggie's ideal home she would hang out all day with or without other resident dogs or cats in the home. She would be great in a house where people are home, yet she can also handle a family with a work schedule - she really is good in either situation. Maggie has a lot of love to offer and we can't wait for her to get the chance to be in a permanent home. We will continue to make training available with the trainer she is working with so that her new adopters can continue to help Maggie make great strides.
