🌟 Personality Snapshot
Maggie is a sweet soul with a gentle heart and a touch of anxiety. She’s the kind of dog who thrives on routine, reassurance, and a calm environment. While she may be shy at first, once she warms up, her loyalty runs deep. She’s not the type to demand attention—but she’ll follow you from room to room, always keeping a watchful eye on her person.

Her Kelpie heritage gives her a smart, observant nature. She’s not hyperactive for her breed, but she does appreciate mental stimulation and enrichment activities. Puzzle toys, scent games, and quiet walks in nature with safe off lead opportunities are her jam.

🏡 Ideal Home
Maggie would do best in a peaceful household with adults or older children who understand that trust takes time. She’s looking for someone patient, kind, and willing to let her blossom at her own pace. A home with a secure yard and minimal chaos would be ideal.

She may benefit from being the only pet, or with a calm, well-socialized male dog who respects her space. She’s not a fan of sudden changes, so a stable environment will help her feel safe and secure.

🩺 Health & History
Maggie entered the shelter on 07/07/2025 and has been in care for 12 weeks after being returned to rescue. She was adopted from the rescue as a puppy but kids entered the relationship and Maggie struggled with the toddler in the home.

No known medical issues, but her anxiety may benefit from supportive care and gentle training in a supportive environment understanding it will take her a little longer to adjust to a new home.

💬 What Maggie Needs Most
A quiet, loving home where she can decompress and build confidence.

Gentle guidance and positive reinforcement.

Enrichment activities that stimulate her mind without overwhelming her.

Someone who sees past her initial shyness and recognizes the loyal companion waiting underneath.
