Story
I adopted Mojo and his sister, Maggie, from Howard County Animal Shelter in 2020. They were a bonded pair, Akbash breed, and the shelter was having trouble finding a home for them together, so I adopted them. Maggie was ill with hypothyroidism and epilepsy and died in November 2024. Mojo is a wonderful dog with all humans and other dogs, but he is a livestock protector and will kill cats. I live in an area with stray cat colonies, and he has gotten away from me several times when he sees a cat. I love cats and it is hard for me to live with a dog that kills cats. I love Mojo but he is so hard for me to manage. He weighs130 pounds and can get away from me easily. I did have a dog walker, but he is unable to walk Mojo anymore. It's also hard to afford the daily cost of a dog walker. I am looking for a home with someone who has a large fenced in yard and who can walk him every day. He is old and easy to walk unless he sees an animal he perceives as prey.

These pups are in Alexandria, Virginia too!

Story
Location: Herdon, VA Maggie is an incredibly smart, lively girl who is always ready for her next adventure. She loves people and thrives on human companionship. While she may take a few minutes to warm up to someone new, once she does, she’s all about snuggles, pets, and plenty of sweet kisses. This girl is eager to learn, making her a great candidate for continued training. She is already crate trained, potty trained, and walks well on a leash, giving her a strong foundation for success in her forever home. She is great with other dogs after a short introduction! Maggie loves to run, play, and stay active. Whether she’s zooming around the yard, exploring on walks, or engaging her brain with training and enrichment activities, she’s happiest when she has an outlet for her energy and intelligence. On the other hand, she also loves to lay at your feet and relax while you watch a movie with the family! Maggie could excel as a working dog, farm dog, or active companion for someone looking for a partner in adventure. After a few weeks, she could even settle into a typical 9-5 routine. She loves her crate and is extremely quiet, too, making her the ideal candidate for any type of abode! If you’re looking for a smart, fun, and loving dog to share life’s adventures with, Maggie may be the perfect match!
