Story
Hi! This is Maggie. four months old, almost five. She is a purebred Australian shepherd, purchased from a reputable breeder. I had originally purchased her to train to be a service dog. However, that didn’t work out. I have had to unexpectedly move and this environment just isn’t very good for her. My boyfriend and I just don’t have the funds, time, or energy to take care of her anymore. On top of that, I found out I was pregnant not too long ago, so that puts even more strain on us. She’s a very sweet puppy; very loving, loves to play. She does need quite a lot of training though and is still teething and not potty trained. She can be a little stubborn. She is not old enough to get spayed yet, I’d prefer you wait until after her first heat so she remains healthy. We have cats in the home and she rather just seems interested in them, but take caution if you have small animals just in case. She’s currently eating Rachael Ray’s Nutrish dry food, but she’s not picky lol.
