My story

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

Maggie is presently being fostered in MA with 2 male Rottweilers and 1 female Rottweiler mix. She accepts correction wonderfully from her eldest foster brother and enjoys playing like a wild woman with her foster sister. Maggie's favorite games with her foster sis are chase and tug with stuffed animals.

Maggie is continuing to work on her reactive behaviors in foster care. She now responds well to correction which allows Maggie to be refocused into positive behaviors when uncomfortable. Maggie is a absolutely fun and enjoyable puppy but requires a special adopter. Maggie is seeking a family who has experience with behavior problems, is firm but fair, will enjoy ongoing obedience courses and has the time to get Maggie out for fun socialization.

Maggie has wonderful house manners and knows sit, sit/stay, down, drop it, crate, wait and others. Maggie is also working on keeping 4-on-the-floor and not stealing socks.

Maggie loves people and openly shows her affection, but she doesn't always need them to have a good time…she just likes to know they are around. She does not like to be separated from her people and will let everyone around know it. She would rather follow people from room to room than have to wait for them to come back.

Maggie sounds like the perfect puppy, doesn't she? Well, everyone has problems at one point or another. Our only concern about Maggie is she can be sensitive and over-reactive to what she believes to be a stressful situation. Because of this she must be handled correctly and with care to prevent this response from escalating. We believe with proper handling she will out grow this in time.

So, if you are looking for a smart, loving and adorable puppy and have the experience and patience to work on her over-reactive problem, then Maggie is the pup for you

Maggie is currently being fostered in MA.
