| Maggie Maggie is a purebred female Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. Her DOB is 7/11/03 Maggie was turned into an animal shelter by her owners and the shelter contacted us and asked us to take her into rescue. The reason given is that she does not like groomers or vets and will nip at them and gets excited and barks when strangers are in her home. On her surrender form they wrote: "Maggie gets along with children, cats and other dogs. She likes to sleep with you. She knows how to sit, lay down, come when she wants to, say "kennel" and she will go right in. Say "house" to get her in the house. She loves to give Wheaten kisses!" March Update Maggie's foster mom has been working with Maggie to overcome her fear of strangers and of having her head messed with which results in some aggressive behavior. Maggie is going to the groomer for short sessions very regularly to work on desensitizing her in these areas. She has come a long way but will need a owner who is aware of her issues and is willing to continue working with her to modify her behaviors and to keep her out of situations that cause the behaviors. Due to her issues we will not consider a home that has children under 16 for this dog. Obedience training will be a condition of adoption with Maggie as well. Update Maggie has improved greatly in the last little while. She is not afraid of strangers, just the opposite. I have had several people over this past summer and she would get excited to meet them. The wheaten greetin thing. She has become less food aggressive and when giving her treats she is very dainty in taking them. She loves to snuggle with you at bedtime and give lots of kisses. She still does not like the UPS or mail truck or any loud sounding vehicle. I need to vacuum more to break her of chasing the vacuum. :) Over all she is a sweet girl. She follows and respects Dickens and Glenda. She knows several commands and always comes when I call her. She has never had an accident in the house. We are going back to the groomer since she is shaved down and start over again. I will let you know how that progresses. I am now able to mess with her face without any incident, mess with her eyes and ears. She has come a long way. She plays rough with my cats which I don't like. She is spayed, up to date on shots and is located in Little Chute, WI April 2008 - A FOREVER HOME Maggie has been adopted by the Egan Family of Illinois Congratulations! |
| Hope you find your forever home soon, Scott, Gillian and Callie |
