About Maggie

Maggie is a laid-back, sweet dog who enjoys her downtime just as much as a good short walk. She'll sprawl out on the couch or bask in the sun without a care, making her easy to have around the house. If you aren't a fan of owning a cat but still want your home free of mice, Maggie has a strong prey drive and does a surprisingly good job as a mouser. She's excellent on leash and greets other dogs with perfect manners outside the home. Inside, she’s more selective and would really prefer to live with another calm, confident dog if she shares her space at all. Maggie is all about people and takes to everyone she meets with warmth, never meeting a stranger. Fully housebroken and not at all destructive, she’s easy to trust around your things. At around 8 years old, Maggie is truly a mixed breed—her vet and trainer think she may be part cattle dog and part hound. Whether you want a mellow companion or a practical solution for a mouse problem, Maggie’s ready for the job. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
