Maggie - Australian Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Grand Island, Nebraska

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.
