Maggie's Story

Say hello to Maggie, the ultimate party pup!<br/>Maggie is a two year old spayed Labrador Retriever who has the typical Lab energy and the stunning chocolate coloring. Not only is she beautiful, but she has a wonderful loving personality to match!<br/>Maggie is a very active dog, and she will need an owner than can match her energy. That's how she found herself at the shelter, as her previous home could not keep up. If you've ever had a Lab you know they don't really lost that puppy energy until they're well into their adult years, so she is still firmly in her playful stage! She would thrive in a home that can keep up with her antics and include her on all of their adventures.<br/>Maggie does have an issue of being mouthy during playtime. It's not through a place of aggression and she's never bitten down hard enough to scratch, and it's more like how puppies will get mouthy during playtime. She was never trained out of this, though, and that's why she still does it. Her owner will need to work with her to teach her how to play gently, as she's too big now to keep on with this habit. She also doesn't seem to realize how big she is, and likes to bump into people. Again, this comes from a place of playfulness, but she could still accidentally injure someone. She would do best with a younger family that can keep up with her, and won't be easily knocked down when she gets too excited.<br/>Maggie spent her life an an outdoor dog, so she's lacking in some areas of training. She's done a surprisingly good job of keeping her kennel clean at the shelter, but she was never officially housebroken. It is likely she will have a few accidents in her new home as she learns your routine, but this girl is intelligent and eager to please, so with some dedication you can show her the ropes easily! Maggie does know a few commands such as sit, stay, or down. Her previous owners also taught her how to wait for a treat and take it gently from your hand. Her special superpower is her ability to snatch a Frisbee right out of the air!<br/>As an outdoor dog, Maggie spent most of her time along and wasn't exposed to many friends. She's never really spent time with other animals, and has only met kids for extremely brief moments. At the shelter we have had no issues with Maggie and she has been super loving with people, but we still have yet to introduce her to any animals. We strongly recommend bringing any pets or kids in the home out to meet Maggie before adopting to make sure it is a good fit.<br/>Maggie is all about fun, and is ready to get out of the shelter and into a home where she can entertain you with all of her joyful exuberance! She is up to date on her vaccinations and spayed, so she's all ready for the adventures life will bring her. If you’re looking for a four-legged friend who’ll keep you on your toes and fill your home with laughter, Maggie is your girl. Come out and meet her today!
