Maggie - Adoption Pending!
We believe Maggie lived a sad life of neglect, both emotionally and physically, but her gentle and happy Golden spirit shines through, and she is ready to enjoy her happiest years! As with most Goldens, humans are her absolute favorite thing, and she is smiling and happy with the attention she is now receiving every day.
Estimated to be 10 years old, and underweight at about 50 lbs., Maggie spent much of her day, every day, confined in a crate in her former home. She would break out of it whenever she could, according to the family that relinquished her to a shelter. She lived with another dog in her former home and got along fine with that dog, but is a bit shy with dogs she has not met before, and cats are unknown to her. Maggie loves being near humans, including kids. She does not like being left alone, possibly due to being left in a crate, and she is dreaming of a home where she can be included with her people most of the time. If you understand and enjoy that wonderful trait of Goldens loving to be near their people, then Maggie may be your perfect match!
Maggie eats well and is being fed puppy food along with her kibble to help her gain weight. Treats are new to this sweetheart, and she loves them, so treats given in an open hand are best! She is house trained and has had no accidents in her kennel. Maggie will love going for short walks to help build her strength, also a new experience for her. With good nutrition we expect her coat to become full and shiny. Her eyes are already brighter and she has a big Golden smile!
Maggie had now been spayed and also came to us with a large, fatty mass on her side. Her fatty mass is benign and has now been removed, and she is recovering nicely from both surgeries. Maggie has also been vaccinated and micro-chipped and tested negative for heartworm (hooray!). She has been given a Proheart-6 injection which provides her with 6 months of heartworm prevention.
Maggie is well on her way to being a healthy and happy Golden, and all she needs now is to continue to be given the loving care we have started. She wishes for a home with humans who will value her sweet, resilient and happy personality. She is a true example of what it means to rescue a dog in need, one who has never known how good a loved dog's life can be. If you would like to make Maggie's senior years her happiest, please ask about her.
Maggie will be available to travel north to her home in mid-April. If you would like to give Maggie the loving home she deserves and you are approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Mary to be considered. If you are not yet approved, visit our website to fill out an application!
Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical. When approved applicants adopt such dogs, they agree to continue the rehabilitation we have begun. This is what it means to rescue.
