Story
Hi, I’m Maggie. I’m a 2 year old chihuahua mix! I came to MN from Mexico, where I was found living in a hole inside a rock mountain. When I got to MN my foster mom realized I was limping quite a bit. It was then determined by our vets that I needed a double back knee surgery as I had luxating patella in both my back knees. Don’t worry, my foster momma did all the hard work and I feel so much better now and am like a brand new dog! I have come a long way in adjusting to indoor family life, and have learned so much! It will take me a few minutes before I’ll let my guard down, but once I learn you wanna be my friend we will be best friends. I am goofy and will play with other dogs big or small, but it may take me a few days to warm up to them. I’m not a big fan of active young puppies that always want to invade my space. But I do great with older, mellower dogs or dogs that just leave me alone. I’m great with cats and have even interacted with a few chickens. I do have a strong interest in rabbits and will attempt to chase them whenever I see one. The thrill wears off after about three seconds, and I go back about my business. Some of my favorite things to do are: go for car rides, or boat rides, lie in the sun (or under a blanket, if it’s cold out), play with a rubber ball (I can toss it, chase it and catch it all by myself!) and on occasion I like to play wrestling with my foster sibling who is close to my size. When we hear our foster dad start up the four-wheeler, we both run to it because he lets us hang out in an attached basket and cruise around with him. It’s really fun! I also love treat time, and will do anything for a soft treat, like Beggin Strips. When I am in cuddle mode, I don’t like to share my space with other animals and may growl at them if they disturb my sleep. I love cuddles, I am the most cuddly girl ever. I would rather curl up and cuddle with you under a blanket all day long. At night, I sleep with my foster, burrowed deep under the blankets and don’t make a peep until long after everyone else is up. I am kennel trained and do really enjoy hanging in my kennel, but my foster has been letting me free roam all over the house and I’ve been really good. Most of the time, I just hang out on the couch until it’s time to go outside or grab a snack. I am officially 99.99% potty trained, although when I go to a new home I might have an accident or two while we learn to communicate with each other. I will bark at new people coming into the house but will calm down once I notice the other dogs are ok with them. If they are too intrusive or in my face too much at our initial meeting I may growl. I never snap or bite though. I just need some extra time to learn new people are okay! Anyways do you think you could be my forever home??
