Her affection is clear and contagious. Wanting to be beside you to keep you company, she wants to be right there with you (but sheâs also great at playing independent with herself). Belly rubs or butt scratches, affection is her love language.Maggie loves to play, loving to chase after a ball or a Kong toy. If she could hang out outside on a nice day, she would. Based on our interactions with her, she has no problem with letting you take toys or food away. While she loves to play, sheâs also content to chill on the couch with you. Sheâs a great medium-energy dog. Occasionally, when she gets very excited, she might jump to put her paws on you, however, sheâs not a big jumper.Sheâs completely housetrained, not needing to be let out overnight. Right now, sheâs working on her crate training, and sheâs made great progress since sheâs been in foster. That being said, she can be left alone in a room without being crated; sheâs been perfectly fine alone, not showing any destructive tendencies. She does know âsit,â âstay,â and âshake.â While sheâs been at her foster home, sheâs been working on building her confidence. She wants to please you and takes correction well; her ideal fur-ever parents and/or dog-siblings will be confident as she looks to them for cues. But donât let her fool you; sheâs very smart, quickly learning commands and her daily routines.Sheâs dog-friendly, but she will need slower introductions in neutral territory. So far, sheâs become best friends with our resident male pit bull, and they love to play together outside. Sheâs shown amazing body language, especially as she initiates play. With all the other dogs sheâs come in contact with, sheâs shown positive body language. On walks at the South End rail trial or Freedom Park, sheâs done very well. She wants to meet other dogs, but never has lunged or barked at them. In a busy, over-stimulating walking location, sheâs a strong girl who will pull on leash; however, on a more relaxed walk, sheâs right beside you.She did meet a cat indoors, and after staring at it for a few seconds, she was called away, and she left it alone, which was a promising sign.She rides in the car well, whether in a crate or in the back. Weâve been on several trips over two hours with her, and there was no barking or whining. She settled in and quickly fell asleep.Other volunteers at the shelter noted that she did exceptionally well with their 11, 12, and 13-year-old kids, saying that she had a gentle and fun personality. On walks, sheâs met other younger children, and she loved getting all the pets and attention from them.
