Maggie was surrendered to the shelter after her owners had a change in their personal life and weren’t able to provide Maggie with a stable home any longer. Shelter life has been hard on Maggie and the fact that she does not like other animals makes it more stressful here for her. Maggie is a young, smart and energetic dog looking for an active owner who wants to have fun. Maggie knows her basic commands like; sit, paw, down and can come when called, when there are little to no distractions around. She is a strong girl who weighs about 55 pounds and wears a harness when she walks to help with pulling. Maggie and her new owner would benefit from enrolling into training classes to help get a handle on her leash manners and reactivity when other dogs are around. She likes to play rough with her toys and if she has a high value treat or bone, she will guard it. For this reason, she would do best in an adult only home. Maggie loves stuffed animals and will even bring them back to you to play fetch! This cutie has a lot to offer and is looking for the right fit to come along. If you would like more information about Maggie or you would like to set up an appointment to meet her, please contact the shelter today. Maggie is a part of WARL’s Foster to Adopt Program.
