Hi there! My name is Maggie and I've been waiting a long time to meet you. I’m a sweet and friendly girl looking for my forever family. Could you be it?

About Me - I can be a little shy when I first meet new people, but once I feel comfortable, I absolutely love attention. I’m very food-motivated, which makes training fun and easy for both of us—treats are the fastest way to my heart!

I enjoy being around humans and other dogs, and I make a great playmate as well as an excellent cuddle buddy. I can be a bit timid with new visitors or dogs that I don’t know yet, but give me a little time to warm up and you’ll see just how friendly and loving I truly am.

Ideal home -   My perfect home would be somewhere with a loving and patient human and maybe with another dog but I would need a proper introduction.

My story -  My rescuer found me on the streets with the rest of the litter that I was a part of but only half of us survived. I was adopted and I lived in an apartment for 3.5 yrs but then my humans had a baby and I didn't adjust well to the new little human.My humans want the very best for me because they loved me dearly and knew with them was not it.

 I will be a loving and loyal dog for any adults and older kids who share their heart with me. If you’re patient, kind, and ready for a loyal companion, I’d love to meet you.

HEALTH NOTES: I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, & micro-chipped.

ADOPTION FEE: $750.00 CAD + applicable taxes.

Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue. Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live.

• Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems!


• Basic training should be taken seriously and should begin within a day or two of arrival. After your dog has settled in, check out courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you. 


• The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.


• Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. More information can be found on our website.
