Here's what the humans have to say about me:
The Jack Russell/Maltese mix is a perfect combo for those with who are searching for an extremely smart and loyal family dog. Of utmost importance...they're famous for their great temperaments and extremely loving and snuggly ways. They're also known to be trustworthy and very gentle with family members and other family pets...and since they require a certain amounts of exercise and absolutely love being with their people...if a walk is the order of the day - count them in! These mixes are known to run joyfully and energetically on Colorado trails ...and then crash on the couch snuggling close to their favorite humans and canines.
Maggie is an absolutely adorable and engaging girl who favors the coat and intelligence of the Jack Russell while taking on the very engaging and cuddly qualities of the Maltese . She appears to be a non-shedding or very lightly shedding pup and will therefore require periodic baths/brushing and great nutrition to keep her coat healthy. As she loses the old hair of her shelter days, Maggie's coat will grow in shining and less likely to shed.
Maggie's sweet nature is just waiting to be enjoyed and appreciated...she makes playmates everywhere she goes. Maggie is a social girl (once comfortable) and that means everyone she meets can be a friend. You know when a loved one approaches, Maggie's tail starts the greeting and it wiggles up through her entire body ending in a smile. And if your lap is available, up Maggie goes to cuddle and snuggle and let you know the level of her devotion.
Maggie is such a wonderful being...we think she represents the best qualities of the Terriers. While a bit fearful over her earlier life, Maggie is very open to new friends and lots of love in her life. At about 3.5 - 4 years old and a perfect lap-sitting size of 6.7 lbs, Maggie has become a fuzzy ball of good-will that loves to please - the happier her family is with her behavior, the more she shines with her accomplishments.
We would like to see Maggie in a home that includes her in family time and activities...she's a true family girl and would thrive in a family that truly loves her and considers her a very important family member. Maggie would be a wonderful companion for retirees or a family with older, dog-loving kids who have the time and desire to be best friends with a truly adorable young pup. Maggie doesn't require another dog to be happy...but does enjoy her canine relationships with kind and gentle dogs.
Maggie will be arriving on transport in Boulder on Friday 8/26/16. If interested in this very sweet and fun-loving best friend, please fill out an application at http://farfelsrescue.com/adoption/ and submit to farfelsapps@gmail.com or fax to 303-443-7730.
