4/20/10-UPDATE:  Maggie was in a foster home for a few months and is now with us at CGRR.  We decided to bring her here so we could get to know her and perhaps make it easier for folks to see her.   Maggie is such a sweet girl, and she is another one that was adopted from us about 5 years ago.....and she was kept mostly outside in a kennel.  We found out after the fact that the Mom didn't care for dogs and the Dad traveled alot with his work, so Maggie's primary caretaker was the daughter and when she got older and out of high school, she did not have time for Maggie anymore, so Maggie came back.   We are glad she did, so she could know the security of living in a real home.  She did well in her foster home and they worked with her to make sure she was loved and part of their "pack."  Layla and her family also taught Maggie that there are rules and boundaries.  Maggie is timid in new situations and when meeting new people.  She wants to trust and once she does she is a cuddle bug.  She does  great with the other dogs.......she and Quinn are buds!  Maggie would do well either with another dog or by herself.   She deserves a home where she can feel safe and loved.  She is looking for someone to bond with, someone that will "lead" her and help her be the best she can be!

Maggie is a very young 7 year old female with lots of energy and personality.  Maggie loves kids, loves to run and play, and NEEDS a home with people who will walk her, exercise her, and teach her manners.  Maggie came to us struggling with house training.  She is doing much better now but still needs regular trips outside to remind her that the house is "potty free".  She is a quick learner and masters the rules, but she likes to test boundaries to see if they ALWAYS pertain, so a strong pack-leader is a must.  Maggie has lots of energy and spunk.  She is feisty but kind and will be very sweet with children and other dogs.  She loves to play and while she doesn't know how to fetch yet, she will run after the ball and play with it for extended periods.  Maggie does get bored and chew on things, but lots of exercise will dampen that urge in her.  She loves to go for walks and would probably do best in a home with other dogs who will wrestle with her or with people who will take her jogging, hiking, biking, and walking on a regular basis.  She would make a GREAT triathlon training partner!  Maggie didn't learn many manners at her last home and so she tends to steal food, sneak into the garbage, scrounge, and beg for table scraps.  She has learned that this is inappropriate and that human food isn't good for her doggy belly but since she developed the taste she needs lots of supervision and reminders.  Maggie has been "forced" to do things in the past, so a gentle and patient hand will remind her that she can be good without fighting it.  She's a very sweet dog who is aging very well and has many, many more years of service, love, and affection to give.  She's a sunshine girl and will make a GREAT playmate for an active family.  She is doing well in a foster home with two other goldens and would do great in a home with or without dogs.
