Anatolian Shepherd and Whippet Dogs Available for Adoption in Williamsburg, Ontario

Meet 8 month old, 25 lb Maggie who is being fostered in the WIlliamsburg, ON area.

Maggie is a beautiful, sweet, timid girl with so much love to give. She loves belly rubs, giving kisses, and being close to her people. While she’s still building confidence, she’s already showing what a great companion she will become.

She’s learning how to play with toys and is starting to come out of her shell more every day. Maggie is submissive, easily corrected, and eager to please. She can still be nervous around new people and younger children, so a home with children 8+ would be best.

Maggie is crate trained and will even go into her crate on her own to relax. She is still working on house training and leash skills, but she’s making progress with consistency and patience.

She gets along well with small dogs, has no interest in cats, and is still learning to feel comfortable around larger playful dogs.

Maggie would do well in almost any loving home as long as our is willing to give her time to settle in and continue building her confidence. A secure fenced in backyard would be ideal for this girl.

Beautiful, affectionate, gentle, and full of potential — Maggie is truly a great girl
