06-08-24 Maggie originally came to us from a breeder to find her forever home. She was adopted around 3 months ago but has been returned to the rescue as it wasn't quite the right match for her and she was displaying a few behavioural issues.
Maggie is a very worried girl who can panic and make the wrong decisions, particularly if she is feeling unsure. Due to these issues, her adopters felt they had no choice but to return her as they felt she would benefit from a home with people who have experience with dogs with similar behavioural issues.
Maggie will be looking for a calm and quiet ADULT ONLY home where there are no resident or visiting children and would also benefit from a home where there are few visitors and not too much comings and goings. She would like adopters who were around most of the time and who have experience with dogs with similar issues and would work on this with her. Maggie's confidence has grown since she has been adopted and was quite confident within her new home. She will be looking for a home where she would be the only dog as she can be quite dominant with some dogs in the home or kennel, but is happy to socialise and play with dogs. Maggie loves to go for walks but is much more nervous outside of the house and will back away from other dogs and humans. She loves treats and will happily take these from your hand. She is happy to accept a gentle fuss and has been very sweet with everyone who has met here at the rescue so far. She was starting to learn all about home life and house training but may need to continue this in her new home. Maggie is a sweet girl and in the right home, with experienced adopters and clear boundaries, she will begin to thrive and will really blossom into a fabulous friend.

Maggie is a super super special girly with bounds of character! She originally arrived with us in January, she was adopted for about 3 months but came back to us in August to find a more suitable home. Maggie finds certain things extremely overwhelming and if put in a scary position she can make the wrong decision. Maggie needs humans who can respect her feelings and not push her. We are told she can be very insecure with visitors in the house, so an adult only, quiet house and careful introductions to any visitors will be needed, like separating until she's calm, and not forcing her to say hello if she isn't ready. Maggie meets and plays with all dogs well, but would prefer to be homed as an only dog as she isn't keen on sharing her space.
Maggie is a whirlwind of fun and entertainment, in the right home I'm sure she will get past her insecurities and thrive. She LOVES her walks here (quiet country lanes,) and she loves going down "the big yard," rolling around on her back and zooming around endlessly! She loves chasing a ball and then destroying it! She will come up to me to have her lead put on as she loves getting out of her kennel. She will come up to me and let me scratch her bum, this is her fave! But she isn't a huge fan of me approaching her, she will still back away and avoid me if I approach - in a home she will create a bond with her person much quicker I think! If I could spend all day with Maggie I absolutely would, she is so special, an absolute gem who just needs humans who won't put her in any situations she's uncomfortable with!

After discussing with the managers here, we've decided that Maggie should be homed as an only dog, even though Maggie isn't fully confident with people. Maggie can be dominant to other dogs, and while we manage her being kennelled with a male here, we feel it wouldn't work in a home. Maggie is getting much more used to us, I can easily put a lead on, she's learning to love a back scratch and her love of squeezy cheese will help with training. Maggie will not toilet in her kennel and waits until she goes out in the morning. She's quite happy amusing herself with toys, she's not reactive to other dogs and loves to play with them. We're looking for a home with two people in it, so that Maggie won't be left alone, adopters with some dog experience, who can bring this lovely girl out of her shell, and also go walking where there are other dogs so that Mags will get to play and socialise. Maggie walks beautifully by your side without pulling and may suit someone of more senior years who is still active. She also has passed her cat test and has no interest in them. Are you that special someone who can give Maggie the home she needs, bring out her true self and show her what a loving home life can be?
Please read our information on ADOPTING EX-BREEDING DOGS before you apply.
PLEASE NOTE: We nearly always home dogs who have come from breeders where there is ALREADY A RESIDENT DOG living in the house. They have usually never lived in a house before and are only used to canine company. They usually get their confidence and learn faster with another dog to copy from. This also helps with house training and learning how to walk on a lead. They will make lovely pets but do need a lot of love, time and patience. If the ex breeding dog you are interested in can be an only dog it will say so in its write up. Please read our information on ADOPTING EX-BREEDING DOGS before you apply.
