ADOTPION REQUIREMENTS
FENCED YARD

EDITED TO ADD AN UPDATE
Since coming to the rescue we have learned that Maggie has a condition called diabetes insipidus. This condition causes her to drink and urinate in excess. Hence the reason for her love of water. It is very easily controlled with twice daily injection of medication that is extremely inexpensive. She can also live just fine without it as what she has isn't like normal diabetes. We would encourage her new family to continue with the meds though because it really does make a difference. Please don't let this prevent you from meeting this awesome girl. The medication can also come in pill form.

Hey there, my name is Maggie and I would love to be your cuddly best canine friend! I'm glad to have a second chance after I was abandoned and left to roam alone in freezing temperatures for a week. I'm a 2-3 year old 70ish lb German Shepherd mix. I am crate trained (bribe me with a treat and I'll do anything), house broken, love walkies, and LOVE car rides. I even know how to sit, shake, stay, and lay down, although I'm still learning to not jump (I love giving hello hugs). My favorite thing to do is be your sidekick and cuddle. I would do great as an only dog or with another dog that is laid back. I can be particular with who I decide to be friends with sometimes. I would also do best with a privacy fence or tall chainlink. Leash walking isn't out the question either as I didn't have a fence at my finders home. I am super sweet with kids, I just need a couple hours to get to know them. I would love a home with someone who is home most of the time. I am a quick learner and I know my furvever family will teach me all the great things! At bedtime I want to sleep along side my humans, as well as lounge on your couch. I need a well-fenced yard so I can be adventurous, but safe (life on my own means I could possibly be a runner). I can't wait to meet my new family and spend the rest of my life loving on you!
