She is very affectionate and enjoys attention from her foster family, including their 21-year-old daughter. She has been incredibly gentle and loving with her humans and is one of the quietest dogs her foster has ever met—she doesn’t bark at all!Maggie is still settling into home life and would benefit from boundaries, and supervision as she adjusts - as would most new family members. She has shown her uncertainty with a small blind dog in her foster home, and would be do well with certainty and a calm environment. While she has been fine overall with the resident dog, she may need some monitoring and slow introductions with small dogs. She also gets excited when taking treats and shows her exuberance. Although we have not seen her around small chilldren, we would want to ensure she has long slow introductions and lots of supervision with others to set her up for comfort and success. Maggie is still learning about stairs, which could be due to unfamiliarity. With a patient adopter who can provide guidance and structure, she will continue to gain confidence and blossom into a wonderful companion.Included Veterinary Care✔ Health certificate from a veterinarian✔ Up to date on vaccinations for her age✔ Spayed✔ Microchipped✔ Heartworm preventative started✔ Flea & tick preventative provided✔ Worm/parasite treatments completedIdeal HomeMaggie would thrive in a home where her adopters can continue building her confidence and help her navigate new experiences.
