Story
We adopted Maggie from rescueme.org a little under a year ago. She has been a very loving, sweet, playful, smart dog. She listens well, loves having a task, knows many commands. She just turned 5, has all her shots, sleeps in kennel, does well at doggy daycare, and weighs around 45lbs. However, she has a lot of anxiety around being left alone (never tearing things up, just barking and whining when leaving, after we are gone she is fine) which we have been working on with her since we've had her. We have a 4 year old son, and recently she, unprovoked, nipped and drew blood from a friend's hand, we can't have an unpredictable dog around our son or his friends. She is protective (barking when new people come over) but warms up within 5 minutes and is completely submissive and sweet.

Story
I delivered mail to an apartment complex about 5 years ago and Xena would always come up to me to play. She even followed me to my truck and hopped in before I left. One day her owner asked if I would take her off his hands because his scheduled wasn’t suitable for Xena needs. I immediately agreed. She was already spayed and up to date with her shots when I adopted her in 2021. I got her micro chipped and up to date with shots in 2023 but the birth of my other children and day to day expenses forced me to postpone caring for Xena. I always made sure she was sent to the groomers and I kept up with her hygiene but she will need to see a vet for further inspection. She’s a great dog. Shes good with kids and other dogs. It saddens me that I can no longer afford her and I really want her to be a blessing to another family who will love her as much as we do.
