🇺🇸
Grand Island, Nebraska
August 23rd
female, large, adult
DESCRIPTION
MEET MAGGIE
Maggie is sweet, smart, and fully prepared to make herself at home... especially if your home includes belly rubs.
This girl LOVES a good belly rub and will happily accept them as often as youre willing to provide them. She can see pretty well, although she is a little night blind, so nighttime adventures may require a little extra guidance.
Maggies Resume:
Loves other dogs
Kind and respectful with the resident dog AND cat
Walks well on a harness
Kennel trained — and actually LOVES her kennel! Shell voluntarily go lay in it when she wants to relax.
Doing well with house training when taken outside regularly
SMART. Like... probably knows exactly what youre saying even when she pretends otherwise.
Professional belly-rub recipient
Now, Maggie does have one tiny extracurricular activity...
COUNTER SURFING.
If there is food on the counter, Maggie believes it has been placed there for further investigation. Shes learning that countertops are, in fact, NOT an all-you-can-eat buffet. She understands no when caught and is working on her manners.
Maggie is a genuinely sweet girl who gets along wonderfully with the animals in her foster home and is ready to find a family who will continue showing her what being a loved family dog is all about.
If youre looking for a smart, dog-friendly, cat-friendly, belly-rub-loving girl with just a tiny interest in unauthorized kitchen inspections... Maggie might be your girl.

ABOUT: AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD DOG BREED
The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog known for its loyalty and work ethic. Originating in the United States, despite its name, this breed is prized for its agility, trainability, and versatility in various dog sports and activities. Australian Shepherds have a distinctive medium length coat that comes in different colors, often with unique merle patterns. With proper training, socialization, and exercise, these dogs make excellent companions for active families and individuals seeking a devoted and playful four legged friend.
The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
