She is very affectionate and receptive to any and all attention. She responds very well to structure and training. She really enjoys direction. She loves having a strong handler on her walks. She is currently being boarded and has volunteers visiting her throughout the day. She definitely deserves a loving home. She wants to be your one and only dog! She has played well with other dogs but when challenged by another dog she responds in kind. Thus, based on our observation we recommend that she be an only dog. Maggie was picked up as a stray in Kentucky and put in a kill shelter. She was alone, hungry and scared. Due to her history she guards her food from other dogs, but does allow people to take food, treats, acorns (from the walks) and toys out of her mouth. She takes treats delicately, despite being about 10 pounds underweight. She loves car rides. She has been fine around bikes and skateboards. We recommend that she be in a home with older kids, no other dogs and a fenced in backyard because she has a lot of energy. She would be a great jogging partner. Interestingly, on her walks she has shown a lot of interest in pickup trucks and men. She is great with women, but seems to really be looking for a male in her life as well. Her fur is very soft to the touch and she loves to jump in your lap, lick, and cuddle. She certainly can be taught not to jump, but that would simply take proper training and patience. For now, she needs love and closeness. She is up to date on all her shots and spayed. To apply to adopt Maggie please visit www.peace4paws.org to fill out an application.
