Maggie


Blue and white white with cropped ears. She's spayed, Hw negative, on prevention and microchipped. Razor’s Edge, Gotti type American Bully styled low rider. She’s about knee high but weights about 52 lbs.

What a wonderful girl, this is a bully dog that truly shines like a gem. She is the sweetest, most loving girl you could ask for. She's a middle aged gal, around 6 years old we figure though has suffered an entire lifetime of neglect and puppy producing at the hands of her previous owner. She still loves people, loves taking walks and going to the pet store. Hasn't met a stranger and in fact is garnering a little fan club at the local petco. She is good on leash, likes to take slow meandering walks in the park and down the isles at the pet store, stopping to say hi when she can.

She's good with other dogs, easy going and happy go lucky. She's not looking for any kind of conflict with other dogs. In fact, she seems to bring a calming presence to the world. Dogs that would normally not get along seem to adjust well to her mother like vibe. Initially a little growly when the cats approached her cate - she has adjusted and ....I can safely say she's pretty cat friendly. She can be loose with my cats while I am home and not even glance in their direction unless they come right up to rub her face. She does not like them to approach her when she has a toy so she should be separated when home alone.

She actually loves a good game of fetch. She won't always bring them back to you - you may have to go get her to give it up but she will chase it every time and "almost bring it back". She's a southern belle, quiet and good natured. Crate trained and completely house broken. She respects a baby gate. She's just happy for whatever she gets in life. She loves to snuggle, if she's in your lap and you stop rubbing her, she will wriggle and tuck her head against you then look up at you with those big brown eyes "please don't stop". She is a lovely dog. A real treasure.

She’s food motivated and eager to please. She loves dinner time and always wants to make sure she’s in the right spot for dinner time. We have switched her meals from the kitchen to the crate to make sure she only gets her own food. She’s a surfer and will clean the floor after everyone else and their bowls too.

We hope that once her skin gets healthy, the rest of her body will heal and her only maintenance will be the food. She’s actually in pretty great shape for a dog that has suffered from ear infections/allergies for years. I’ve seen far worse on much younger dogs.  Maggie's laser surgery went well and her ears look almost brand new. Most of the scar tissue was removed and her ear canals are clear.
