Maggie

About Maggie

Maggie is a small to medium sized crossbreed of around 8 years old.Maggie came to us from the Botosani public shelter in Romania. She had been in there almost all her life and her existence in the dire place had left her shut down and afraid of humans. It’s taken a long time but Maggie is now a cheeky and confident girl in her foster home. She is still afraid of people she doesn’t know but is comfortable being touched and groomed by those she knows. She is not yet asking for fuss and attention but this will come later in a more one to one environment. Maggie has met cats and was fine with them. Maggie needs a home experienced with nervous dogs. She is enjoying her walks now and would like quite an active exercise routine. It is essential that Maggie lives with at least one other dog so please do not apply unless you have a dog full time in your home. Maggie could not cope with the noise and unpredictability of small children but would be ok with dog savvy children of ten plus. Maggie has recently started showing an interest in toys and enjoys chewing on a nylabone, this has been so lovely to see. She is a massive lover of food and when the treats come out or dinner is being prepared she will push her way to the front and bark, demanding hers. Maggie often goes to an enclosed field where she can run around off lead. She used to spend her time at these by herself but now likes to stick with the group, only falling behind if she’s found something good to sniff. Unfortunately Maggie had a falling out with another resident dog in her adopted home and this has caused others to initiate bullying behaviour towards Maggie and she is regularly picked on, causing her a lot of stress on a daily basis. She needs somewhere with a nice doggy friend where she can gain confidence with her humans in her own time. This dog has passed their cat testing so can live with dog savvy cats.
