Description:
Maggie is a very sweet tempered affectionate girl who won’t let her senior years keep her down.

She loves to be outside with her foster brothers and sisters, and is happiest when she is running around with her popped soccer ball in her mouth. She absolutely adores her ball and will bring it to my husband to kick so she can run along chasing it.

She is a Mama's girl, she follows me everywhere, and sleeps on the dog bed in my studio while I am working.

Maggie knows sit, down, come, and we are working on wait/stay. She is quite the talker when it comes to supper time and wonderful on a leash.

She loves to go for car rides, and will sit in the back seat of the van, watching the world go by. She also has no problem being groomed and didn't even flinch when her toenails were trimmed.

Maggie has absolutely no interest in our cats what-so-ever. She was recently introduced to our older Grandkids 9,5,4, and really had a good time with them. She loved our 4
year old grandson, licking him on the head and ears while they were playing a board game.

Maggie loves scratches behind the ears, and will roll over on her back for belly rubs. While her activity level is moderate to low due to arthritis in her knees and elbows, she is still a very people oriented girl. She would most likely do best as an only dog, or partnered with another dog who has the same energy level. She will tire herself out trying to keep
up with our high level pack, but her best buddy is our 13 year old hound mix. They look like two Dowager Duchesses lying on the lawn watching the 2 younger dogs run and play.

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
