About Maggie
Maggie is a striking 3-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd with a Red Merle and creamy white coat. Born January 1st, which makes her a practical and ambitious Capricorn, Maggie comes packed with smarts and energy. She’s lean and speedy, earns her reputation as a track star, and is always on the move. Her past includes a close call—she once ran off, got hit by a car, and now sports a long surgery scar down her right hind leg. This history, plus her zero recall and tendency to bolt, means Maggie is not suited for city life or shared fences. The best fit is a country property with ample acreage, secure fencing, and an adopter with prior experience living with Australian Shepherds. Maggie thrives where she has jobs: chasing balls, running with other dogs, playing with older kids who match her energy, and joining in on adventures. She is very social with dogs, loves children, enjoys car rides, and is always part of the action. She’s house trained, affectionate but driven, and keeps her kennel clean. Cats are a mystery; she’s known for chasing chickens, so smaller animals may need caution. Maggie needs supervision outdoors, a secure fenced yard, and someone committed to her safety—leash and all. This shepherd wants to be your loyal shadow, but you’ll need to keep her boundaries clear. Give her water to splash in and a purpose every day, and she’ll thrive. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
