Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MAGGIE***CONTACT MICHELLE mmay@kylabrescue.com***AN UNBELIEVABLE STORY "THE CHILDREN WANTED A PUPPY SO THE FAMILY THREW MAGGIE AWAY"!!! WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ONE OF THE HIGHEST KILL SHELTERS IN THE SOUTH TELLING US A STORY THAT WAS TRAGIC AND EVEN HARD TO BELIEVE. A FAMILY SHOWED UP AT HER SHELTER MOM, DAD,THREE CHILDREN AND A GORGEOUS YELLOW LAB NAMED MAGGIE. THE FAMILY TOLD THE DIRECTOR THAT THE CHILDREN WANTED A PUPPY AND THEY JUST DIDN'T WANT MAGGIE ANYMORE. THE DIRECTOR WAS IN SHOCK, AS SHE TOLD US WHAT A GENTLE, LOVING GIRL MAGGIE WAS AND HOW MUCH SHE SEEMED TO LOVE THE CHILDREN. THE MAN EXPLAINED THAT MAGGIE HAD BEEN A PART OF THEIR FAMILY ALL HER LIFE BUT THE CHILDREN JUST DIDN'T WANT HER ANYMORE, HIS NEXT COMMENT "WE WANT TO SEE SOME PUPPIES!!!" THE FAMILY TIED MAGGIE TO A POLE, SIGNED THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK GIVING HER UP NEXT THE CHILDREN RACED DOWN THE SHELTER AISLES LOOKING FOR A PUPPY!!! OF COURSE THERE WERE TONS OF ADORABLE PUPPIES TO CHOOSE FROM AND THE CHILDREN FOUND ONE, THEY PAID THE ADOPTION FEE AND LEFT, THE MOST HEARTBREAKING PART IS NOT ONE MEMBER OF THE FAMILY EVEN SAID GOOD BYE TO MAGGIE. THE DIRECTOR CALLED US IMMEDIATELY TELLING US ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL GIRL. SHE TOLD US THE MAGGIE WAS SO SAD, THE LOOK ON HER FACE SAYS IS ALL, SHE WAS HEARTBROKEN, NOT UNDERSTANDING WHERE SHE WAS BUT WHY HER FAMILY JUST LEFT HER. THE MINUTE WE HEARD ABOUT MAGGIE WE COULDN'T GET TO HER FAST ENOUGH. THE MINUTE WE SAW HER WE SPOKE SOFTLY TO HER, GAVE HER A PAT AND HER TAIL STARTED TO WAG EVER SO SLIGHTLY, THEY DO KNOW WHEN YOU ARE THERE TO HELP. IT IS UNIMAGINABLE TO US HOW SOMEONE COULD BE SO HEARTLESS AS TO JUST THROW A WONDERFUL SWEET GIRL LIKE MAGGIE AWAY. THIS WAS "NOT" MAGGIE'S FAULT, SHE DID NOTHING WRONG, SHE JUST HAD A COLD AND UNCARING FAMILY. THE WAY WE SEE IT THEIR LOSS IS DEFINITELY OUR GAIN AS YOU COULDN'T FIND A MORE GENTLE AND LOVING GIRL THEN MAGGIE. MAGGIE LEFT THE HIGH KILL SHELTER THAT DAY, EYES TWINKLING, TAIL WAGGING AND WHEN OUR DIRECTOR PUT MAGGIE IN HER CAR SHE LICKED OUR DIRECTOR'S HAND, MAYBE THIS WAS HER WAY OF SAYING "THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME"!!!****MAGGIE IS A GORGEOUS, 5-6 YR. OLD, 40 LB. YELLOW LABRADOR RETRIEVER. MAGGIE IS ON THE SMALLER SIDE FOR A LAB, WHAT WE REFER TO AS A "LAB PETITE", SHE IS A DELIGHTFUL SIZE TO FIT IN ANY LIVING ARRANGEMENT. THE FIRST THING YOU WILL NOTICE IS HER COAT, IT IS FLAWLESS, A PALE, PALE, CHAMPAGNE COLOR, HER COAT IS SO SOFT IT FEELS LIKE VELVET, YOU WILL WANT TO PAT AND RUB MAGGIE ALL DAY WHICH AS MUCH AS THIS GENTLE GIRL ADORES AFFECTION AND ATTENTION IS JUST FINE WITH HER!!! NEXT YOU WILL NOTICE HER EYES, THEY WILL ABSOLUTELY MAKE YOU MELT, THEY ARE A DARK, CHESTNUT COLOR POSSESSING A LOOK THAT SAYS "LOVE ME"--IT'S IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO. SHE IS ALSO A BEAUTIFULLY BUILT GIRL WITH A PROUD, GRACEFUL STANCE. MAGGIE IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL BUT THIS PUP'S TRUE BEAUTY IS HER HEART AND SPIRIT. JUST CALL HER NAME AND THOSE GORGEOUS "LOVE ME" EYES WILL LIGHT UP, SHE WILL COME OVER TO YOU, TURN THAT ADORABLE HEAD TO ONE SIDE AS IF SHE'S SAYING "HI I'M MAGGIE NICE TO MEET YOU". SHE IS A DEEPLY AFFECTIONATE, GENTLE, CALM GIRL, A BEAUTIFULLY BEHAVED GIRL WHO WILL COME CLOSE, REST HER HEAD IN YOUR LAP, AS LONG AS YOU WILL PAT OR RUB MAGGIE WILL STAY. MAGGIE IS THE ULTIMATE COMPANION A TRUE LADY, A PUP WHO'S HAPPINESS IS JUST BEING WITH THOSE WHO LOVE HER. SHE IS ALSO A VERY SOCIAL GIRL, SHE LOVES EVERYONE SHE MEETS AND ALL DOGS SMALL, MEDIUM OR LARGE(SHE'S EVEN FINE WITH CATS). WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLS FOR IS FINE WITH MAGGIE JUST TAKE HER ALONG, SHE WOULD LOVE AN EASY LATE AFTERNOON WALK OR IF YOUR DAY CALLED FOR RUNNING ERRANDS AROUND TOWN MAGGIE WOULD LOVE TO BE INVITED TO GO ALONG. SHE TRULY WOULDN'T KNOW WHERE SHE IS GOING AND IT DOESN'T MATTER TO HER, HER TRUE HAPPINESS IS JUST BEING WITH THOSE WHO LOVE HER. PUPS LIKE MAGGIE ASK FOR SO LITTLE BUT GIVE SO MUCH LOVE IN RETURN. THEY ARE THERE FOR YOU 100%, A CONTENTED, BEAUTIFUL DOG WHO LOVES YOU WITH EVERY FIBER OF THEIR BEING. MAGGIE IS GRATEFUL FOR ANY AND ALL ATTENTION BUT SHE NEVER PESTERS OR DEMANDS IT. EVERYDAY IS A GIFT AND TIME WITH PUPS LIKE MAGGIE IS SO PRECIOUS. AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN YOU AND MAGGIE HAVE SPENT THE DAY TAKING LONG WALKS, RUNNING ERRANDS AND JUST ENJOYING EACH OTHER'S COMPANY WHEN MAGGIE COMES INTO HER HOME SHE CONTINUES TO SHINE, THIS BEAUTIFUL GIRL HAD BEAUTIFUL MANNERS, HOUSE TRAINED AND CRATE TRAINED. SHE IS RESPECTFUL OF HER SURROUNDINGS, KNOWING WHAT THINGS ARE HERS TO PLAY WITH AND THINGS TO LEAVE ALONE, IN HER HOME SHE IS A JOY!!! WHEN YOU SETTLE IN ON THE SOFA TO WATCH A MOVIE OR READ A BOOK, YOU WILL FIND MAGGIE CURLED UP AT YOUR FEET, THE LOOK ON HER FACE IS ONE OF CONTENTMENT AND PEACE, SHE IS WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE WORLD TO HER, YOU, AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS. SHE WOULD BE A DELIGHTFUL COMPANION FOR A SINGLE FELLOW, A GIRL, A COUPLE OR A FAMILY WITH GENTLE CHILDREN WHO WOULD ADORE HAVING MAGGIE AS THEIR BEST FRIEND. MAGGIE ONLY HAS ONE REQUEST AND HER EYES TOLD US THIS THE FIRST TIME WE SAW HER. SHE WANTS TO BE A CHERISHED COMPANION, TO BELONG AND BE A PART OF SOMEONES LIFE AGAIN, TO BE LOVED AS DEEPLY AS SHE LOVES. MAGGIE'S PERFECT FAMILY WOULD BE ONE THAT HAS A HEART FULL OF LOVE, READY TO INSURE THAT THIS TRUE COMPANION PUP LIVES HER LIFE SURROUNDED BY THE WARMTH OF A HOME AND KNOWS THE JOY OF A FAMILY WHO WILL CHERISH EVERY MINUTE WITH OUR "LOVE ME" GIRL, SHE DESERVES NOTHING LESS!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO MAGGIE WAS NOT HER FAULT, SHE DID NOTHING WRONG, SHE LOVED HER FAMILY WITH EVERY FIBER OF HER BEING, SHE DID HER PART, IT WAS HER FAMILY WHO BROKE THEIR PROMISE, THEY PROMISED TO LOVE AND CARE FOR MAGGIE EVERYDAY SHE WAS A PART OF THEIR FAMILY, THEY LIED, THEY THREW HER AWAY AND PUT MAGGIE IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, A SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE ENDED HER LIFE!!! WE PROMISED THIS GENTLE COMPANION PUP WE WOULD FIND HER A HOME WHERE SHE WOULD NEVER BE GIVEN AWAY AGAIN, THIS IS A PROMISE WE INTEND TO KEEP.
