Maggie - Black Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in San Diego, California

Some say the second time's the charm, and I truly believe it! Hi, I'm Maggie, a sweet 1.5-year-old, 70 lb Lab mix who's ready for my true forever home. My journey started with The Cantu Foundation before, and after a little detour, I'm back, more ready than ever to find my perfect family. I'm a big softie with a heart full of love, just waiting to share it all with you.

Your Constant Companion I'm a true "Velcro dog" who bonds quickly and completely to my people, always eager to be right by your side, whether you're relaxing or moving around the house.
Toy Time Champion Give me a toy, and I can entertain myself for ages! I adore playing and have a blast with my foster pup sister, showing off my playful, goofy side.

Home Sweet Home I'm completely comfortable and content in my crate, seeing it as my safe den, and I'm a pro at being fully potty trained, always knowing exactly where to do my business.

Building Bravery The world outside my home can sometimes feel a bit big and new, but with your help and reassurance, I'm learning that new experiences aren't so scary after all.

My loving nature truly shines in a comfortable home environment. While I adore being close to my humans and will look to you for guidance and reassurance, exploring the great outdoors is still a journey we're working on together. Because I didn't get much early exposure to different environments, I can sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed on walks, benefiting from slow introductions to new sights and sounds. We've found that using a gentle lead, paired with a confident leader to guide me with "leave it" commands, tasty treats, and lots of praise, really helps me to feel more secure. Right now, I tend to feel most comfortable pottying in a home with a yard, but we are making great progress every day in building my confidence in various outdoor settings. The good news is I grew up with small children and was told I was very gentle and loving with them, so I could be a wonderful family dog.

My adoption fee is $250, this fee covers my first year of vaccinations, spay/neuter, and microchip. Do I sound like the dog for you? You can fill out an application to adopt me at http://www.thecantufoundation.org/adopt.html
