About Maggie

Say hello to Maggie, the party pup who's ready to bring joy to your life! At two years old, this spayed Chocolate Labrador Retriever has boundless energy and a loving personality that will captivate you. Maggie's playful nature means she'll need an active owner to keep up with her antics. Previously, she found herself at the shelter because her former family couldn't match her energy levels. Like many Labs, she retains a child-like enthusiasm, making her a delightful companion for those who love adventure. Maggie does have a habit of being a little too mouthy during play, not out of aggression but rather excitement. With guidance, she can learn to play more gently, especially given her size. She tends to forget how big she is and can bump into people playfully, so she would thrive in a home with active younger family members who are aware of her exuberance. While Maggie has been an outdoor dog and may have some training gaps, she keeps her kennel clean at the shelter, showing she has potential to be house trained. She already knows commands like sit and stay, and she even waits patiently to take treats from your hand. Just wait until you see her amazing ability to catch Frisbees! Introduce her to any other pets or children in your home to ensure a good fit, as she hasn't been socialized much before coming to the shelter. Vaccinated and spayed, Maggie is ready for new adventures. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will fill your days with laughter, come meet Maggie today!
