My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

🐶 🐕 MAGGIE Female Border collie mix approximately 10 months, 30 lbs & AVAILA-BLE – check out more photos and see the rest of our dogs on our website -- https://norcalbcrescue.org/available-dogs/our-dogs/ 🐕 🐶

Meet Maggie, the approximately 10-month-old vibrant border collie mix with a zest for life and a heart of gold. Weighing a sprightly 30 pounds, Maggie is a bundle of energy and affection, always ready for her next adventure. Maggie is an enthusiastic greeter when she meets new humans.

Maggie's favorite pastimes include gnawing on a bone, soaking up the sun during lazy afternoons of sunbathing, and socializing with her friends. When in the company of other dogs, Maggie's playful spirit shines through as she joyfully licks their faces in greeting. She thrives on canine companionship and would do well with a tolerant dog housemate who appreciates her exuberance. However, Maggie is also perfectly content as the sole furry companion in a household. She forms deep bonds with her human family and enjoys being the center of attention, showering them with affection and loyalty.

Maggie's always up for an adventure, but she's working on her leash skills and manag-ing her excitement when she sees other dogs. With proper training and guidance, she may be a candidate for activities like agility, or even scent work, thanks to her keen nose and eager demeanor.

Maggie sleeps quietly in her crate at night, showcasing her disciplined nature and re-spect for household routines. She is also fully housebroken, making her a reliable companion indoors. Despite her mischievous tendencies, Maggie's easy-going demeanor and adaptability make her a pleasure to have around the house.
In essence, Maggie is not just a playful and affectionate pup; she's a loving companion who brings sunshine and warmth wherever she goes. Whether she's chewing on her favorite bone, basking in the sun, or making friends with other dogs, Maggie's cheerful demeanor and loving nature make her a cherished member of any household.

Maggie is crate trained, which means she can be left alone without stress or anxiety. This skill highlights her adaptability and ease with transitions. Despite her mischievous tendencies, Maggie finds comfort and security in her crate, making it a safe haven where she can relax and recharge.

Maggie's moderate energy and intelligence make her a perfect candidate for training. With structured training sessions focusing on basic obedience, leash manners, and impulse control, Maggie can harness her natural abilities and become a well-behaved companion.

While Maggie is a delightful companion, it's important to note that she has a high prey drive, which is a natural inclination to chase after small animals or moving objects.

Whether she's enjoying quality time with her human family or engaging in playtime with other dogs, Maggie's playful spirit and loving personality make her a delightful addition to any home.

MAGGIE is micro-chipped, spayed, heartworm negative and on preventative, and up-to-date on vaccinations.
