Meet Maggie, aka Maggie may, Mag Pie, or Waggy Maggie. She is a 4 yr old American bulldog mix (maybe some boxer in her?) with the biggest heart for humans and naps. She is a fan of her morning and evening walks, cuddle time with her humans, and play time with fetch or tug o war. She is great on a leash, off leash in the yard, or in the car where she enjoys taking in all of the scenery. Maggie may do best in a home where she gets all the love and attention.

Story

Hi my name is Goji Berry but I go by Goji. I am a 7 month old pitbull. I was having trouble eating when I was around 5 weeks old so I went to the vet and found out I have Hydrocephalus. It was touch and go for a bit but was thriving in my special needs foster home. I have had some issues with anemia and have had a blood transfusion but have been doing great since. I have a mild case of Hydrocephalus and am on a few medications which includes Omeprazole (for my hydrocephalus) Vitamin B12 tablet - CoBalequin (for my anemia) and a probiotic - Proviable - Forte for my stomach because I have loose stools. I am still learning a few things including, potty training, I will use puppy pads in the house but sometimes still have accidents. I need to learn not to eat everything in sight and not to chew on things, and am learning basic commands. I am very smart but, learning commands has taken me longer because of my condition. I do like other dogs and puppies if they aren't bossy. I like to chase cats and pick on them, but don't hurt them. I am a vocal girl. I would require someone who is home all the time bc I need to be watched to make sure I don't eat things I shouldn't, and I will require a patient owner who will be willing to take their time with me as I take time to learn. Younger kids would not be ideal but older children would be. I am still learning to not bite hard. I like to eat my food to fast, so I eat out of a slow feeder bowl. I am utd on my shots and will be getting spayed soon
