Maggie has settled well and has even tried chasing the cat!! It’s so lovely to see her getting excited usually when food is around!!
She tries to jump up but can’t quite manage it. She only need a short walk and is faster off the lead than on.
As long as you don’t walk too fast she will trot to keep up with you.
She was approached by a large young dog in the park and she is still feisty enough to warn him off!

Maggie is back at the Rescue and looking for a new home

Maggie arrived on Friday and seems to have settled in well.
She has had a hair cut since we last saw her and has put a bit of weight on.
She still enjoys her food.
She is looking for a quiet home to live out her remaining life.

Maggie has found a home

Hi Helen,

Maggie has only been in her new home for just over 2 days but I thought I’d send some photos so you could see how she is settling in.
She seems to quite like her new snuggly bed and is quite happy investigating the garden. The neighbour has some geese and chickens so she is finding the smells on that side of the garden particularly interesting!
Brian and I took her for a walk yesterday (Sunday) she met some cows and sheep which seemed to fascinate her, especially the cows.
She appears to be quite comfortable with Gordon already, following him around and rolling over for her tummy to be rubbed at every opportunity.

Best wishes
Mandy

Maggie is a lovely old lady she likes nothing better than being petted and stroked. If allowed she would happily jump up on the sofa next to you.

She has been mistreated in the past and this shows when she cowers if you suddenly lift your hand and also when you try and pick her up.

She squeals and yelps when you pick her up as if you are hurting her but as soon as you put her on your lap and stroke her she is quite content to stay there.

I have been able to brush her all over even on her tummy without any problems.

She gets excited at meal times and will jump up on her back legs she has also tried to entice our dog Basil to play with her but Basil just seems a bit bemused and doesn’t join in.

She is fine on a lead but has only got little legs so doesn’t walk at a fast pace but is content to amble on at her own pace, pausing every time a car goes past.

I think she would make an ideal companion in an adult only household, she is very endearing and such an easy dog to have around the house.
