Maggie *On Trial in Her New Home*

*MAGGIE IS CURRENTLY TRIALLING HER NEW HOME* Hi there my name is Maggie and I am a Whippet! Oh, no I'm not, sorry - *apparently I am a GREYHOUND but I think I’m a Whippet! My foster parents laugh as I am the only Greyhound they have ever met who loves playing ball (and I bring it back!) and I love running, and sleeping on the couch, and running, and trying to crawl onto laps, and running, and pushing people's hand from behind so I get a pat! I am also a good guard dog and let people know when a strange car pulls up. Then I wag my wonky tail madly as there is a new person to pat me!!

I had a sad start to life as my poor tail was broken when my mum popped me out so I look a bit funny as it is still crooked. And when I lay on my back with my legs in the air it looks like I am snarling but I am really smiling! And then I nearly had a one way trip to the vet as I wasn't keen to chase those white fluffy things around a dusty track.

I am a good girl inside the house and don't have any accidents. I love a walk on my lead, but am just as happy to have a quick "zoomie" around the yard, (and I love other dogs as my foster family has 7 of us!) Don't think I like cats or chooks much as the silly things they want to be chased so I just have to chase them! I haven't met many little people yet, but they look like fun to play with!

Because of my childhood I am a bit nervy until I get to know you ... I will just quietly come up to you and rest my head on your knee, so after a few pats I will be your best friend for life! I know I am a very lucky girl to have so many chances, now I just need a person or family to love me furever; will it be you???

* Due to legislation, Maggie must always be kept on a leash and wear a muzzle when outside of a completely fenced area, but that certainly won't detract from her prettiness, we've even seen pink girlie muzzles online! And she certainly doesn't need to wear a muzzle (or a lead!) when zooming around her own yard!
