Adopter Maggie
Cockapoo · Femelle · Adulte · 7 ans
26-05-26 Maggie est une adorable Cockapoo qui est revenue vers nous après un incident impliquant un petit chien dans la maison. Nous ne savons pas exactement ce qui s'est passé, mais pendant la nuit alors qu'elle était dehors dans le jardin, Maggie a eu peur et s'est retrouvée dans une bagarre après que l'autre chien ait aboyé. Maggie est une jeune fille très timide et sensible qui est méfiant envers les étrangers, bien qu'elle permette de la manipuler. Elle essaie vraiment d'être courageuse et commence à montrer de petits signes de progrès, même en s'approchant pour prendre des friandises de nos mains, bien qu'elle ne soit pas encore assez confiante. Maggie n'est pas encore suffisamment confiante pour être un seul chien, donc nous pensons qu'elle s'adapterait le mieux dans une maison avec un seul chien calme et confiant de taille similaire ou plus grande, qui pourrait l'aider à se sentir en sécurité et rassurée pendant son adaptation. Comme Maggie a vécu précédemment dans une maison, elle sera familière avec les aspects visuels et auditifs d'un environnement domestique. Cependant, elle pourrait encore avoir besoin d'un soutien concernant l'entraînement aux toilettes lorsqu'elle s'adaptera à une nouvelle routine. Maggie sait déjà marcher en laisse, donc elle apprécierait une ou deux promenades autour de la zone locale avec le chien résident une fois qu'elle sera installée. Maggie a particulièrement peur des hommes et a initialement aboyé contre le résident masculin de sa précédente maison. Avec du temps, de la patience et une manipulation douce, elle a lentement commencé à se réchauffer. Malheureusement, il y a eu aussi un incident où Maggie s'est emmêlée dans sa harnais et, paniquée, a mordu la main du propriétaire masculin qui essayait de l'aider à s'en sortir. En raison de cela, Maggie aura besoin d'une maison calme uniquement pour adultes avec des adoptants patients et compréhensifs qui ont une expérience ou une compréhension des défis liés à l'adoption de chiens anciens reproducteurs. Depuis que Maggie est avec nous, elle a montré qu'en cas de stress ou de surcharge, elle peut essayer de trouver un moyen de s'échapper en grimpant. En conséquence, elle aura besoin d'un jardin très sécurisé avec des limites d'au moins 6 pieds pour la garder en sécurité et empêcher toute tentative d'évasion potentielles. Une fois que Maggie connaît et fait confiance à quelqu'un, c'est une jeune fille très douce et heureuse. Dans la bonne maison calme et compréhensive, avec des propriétaires patients et expérimentés en matière de chiens, qui sont prêts à la laisser s'installer à son propre rythme, nous sommes convaincus qu'elle continuera à faire d'excellents progrès et qu'elle sortira progressivement de sa coquille. Ce chien peut être adopté avec un autre chien résident.

Maggie spent the first few years of her life at a breeders & originally came to us when she was 5 years old. She was adopted in January 2025 & spent 16 months in a home. She ended up back in our care & has since waited to find her forever. Maggie really is just the sweetest, most special girl. Whilst she is shy at first, she bonds incredibly closely with her people. She has a cheeky, playful side & loves to fling herself around with a tennis ball. She bounces & prances around the yard just keeping herself entertained. Maggie is our girl who helps the scared dogs be brave. Maggie shows them how it’s done & truly she has been the helping hand for so many dogs since she has been with us. She has seen kennel friends come & go, yet she still waits in kennels. Maggie is a happy dog even in kennels, especially when she is with any of her favourite people. She is so affectionate & truly a little shadow. You gain a best friend when you’re loved by Maggie. Our groomer has said multiple times that she is an absolute delight to groom. Maggie loves nothing more than to roll around in mud, sand, leaves, she gets mucky quickly. Her & our groomer are well acquainted now so she is well adjusted to grooming. Sadly, Maggie was returned to us following an incident involving one of the smaller resident dogs in her previous home. While out in the garden one evening, Maggie became frightened by the other dog barking, and although we don't know exactly what happened, the interaction unfortunately ended in a fight. They struggled to make up or comfortably co-exist afterwards, so Maggie will need a carefully chosen home where everyone can feel safe and settled. Maggie is looking for a calm and quiet, adult-only home with adopters who have experience with ex-breeding dogs and can give her plenty of time, patience and understanding to settle at her own pace. She can be worried by men and initially barked at the male resident in her previous home, although with time, patience and gentle handling, she slowly began to come around. We are continuing to help her build positive relationships with men here, and she has bonded well with a male staff member who is part of her care team. Maggie is very people-oriented and, once she knows and trusts you, she becomes an incredibly loving and devoted companion. She is particularly attached to her main carer and loves following her around, enjoying fuss and cuddles. When she first returned to us, she was very shy and unsure of new people, but she has since settled in wonderfully and has made lovely progress. Although Maggie previously lived with another dog, her home will need careful consideration following her return. We would now consider her as an only dog in the right circumstances, with experienced adopters who have plenty of time to help her settle. Alternatively, she could live with a calm, confident resident dog of a similar size or larger. She has shared her kennel with several different dogs since returning and has been wonderful with them, happily sharing food and toys. She also enjoys play dates with a larger group of dogs in our big play yard. I cannot live with cats, so I will need a home without small furries. Maggie is very food-motivated and loves her treats, which will be helpful when settling into her new home. She can already walk nicely on a lead and harness without pulling and will often check back with you for reassurance. Having previously lived in a home, she will be familiar with home life, although she may need some reminders of her house training. On one occasion in her previous home, Maggie became tangled in her harness and panicked, biting the hand of the male owner who was trying to help free her. This was an isolated incident caused by fear, but it is important that her new family understands how she may react when frightened or overwhelmed. She will need calm, gentle handling and people who can recognise when she is worried and give her the reassurance and space she needs. Maggie has also shown that when she feels stressed or overwhelmed, she may try to escape by climbing. For this reason, she will need a very secure garden with boundaries of at least 6ft to help keep her safe. Maggie has had four teeth extracted, and this should be kept in mind as part of her veterinary history. Maggie has so much love to give to the people she trusts. In the right calm and understanding home, with experienced, patient and dog-savvy adopters who allow her to settle at her own pace, we are confident she will continue to flourish and become a truly wonderful companion. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.
