Maggie's Story

Meet Miss Maggie!<br/><br/>Miss Maggie is a 4-year-old Shih Tzu weighing approximately 15 lbs, and she's a delightful little combination of playful, affectionate, and just a tiny bit clingy. She's the kind of dog who enjoys a good romp around the backyard but also believes that an empty lap is a terrible waste of perfectly good real estate!<br/><br/>Maggie has spent the past four weeks in foster care with a few Yorkies and a cat, and she's been having a wonderful time with her canine companions. She loves chasing her furry friends around the yard and has even managed to shed a pound or two thanks to all the activity. But don't let her playful side fool you. Once the fun is over, Maggie is more than ready to trade backyard adventures for some quality couch time. She's a true Velcro dog who loves being close to her people, and personal space isn't really something she feels strongly about!<br/><br/>Maggie also has some lovely manners to go along with all that personality. She's house trained, uses a doggie door in her foster home, enjoys her walks, and does well on leash. She settles into her crate at bedtime and shares her foster home with a cat, whom she mostly ignores. Maggie clearly has her priorities, and the cat doesn't seem to be very high on the list! Chicken is off her menu, and she's currently doing well on salmon-based food.<br/><br/>What kind of home would suit Miss Maggie?<br/>Maggie would be happiest in a home where she can enjoy a nice balance of activity and relaxation. A securely fenced yard would be ideal since she loves running and playing outside, and a friendly canine companion would be a lovely bonus. Because she's had the company of other dogs throughout her time in foster care, we don't yet know how she would manage being left alone for extended periods. A home where someone is around much of the time would likely suit her best. We'd also love to see Maggie in a home without young children, where she can enjoy a calmer environment and plenty of individual attention.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a little dog who can keep up with the backyard fun and then happily spend the evening curled up beside you, Miss Maggie might be your perfect match. Just be prepared to share your couch, your personal space, and possibly your favourite blanket. Maggie isn't particularly interested in the concept of mine when it comes to snuggling! <br/><br/>At Myrtle Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, every dog adopted comes with:<br/>* Spay/Neuter<br/>* Core vaccines<br/>* Rabies vaccine (age dependent)<br/>* 4DX test for heartworm & tick borne diseases (age dependent)<br/>* Flea, tick & heartworm prevention<br/>* Microchip<br/>* Dental cleaning when needed (age dependent)<br/>* Veterinary exam and records<br/>* 30 days of free pet insurance (age dependent)<br/>* Ongoing support from our team because adoption is just the beginning<br/> <br/>Adoption Fee: $850 <br/><br/>Interested in adopting Miss Maggie?
