Marvelous Miss Maggie is a new arrival to NCCR. She was originally an area stray several years ago, and had been adopted out, but was returned due to difficulty adjusting to some recent changes in the home dynamic. Maggie is around 7-8 years old, thought to be a mix of Wheaten Terrier & Schnauzer. She is a nice medium size, around 30 lbs. She is great at the groomer & the vet, rides nicely in the car, is fully house trained & crate trained, and knows some basic commands. She usually gets along well with most other dogs outside the home, but prefers to be the only pet inside the home. Maggie can be a vocal barker at times – if our guess about her heritage is correct, this is no surprise! Both Wheatens and Schnauzers have historically been used as alert watchdogs and ratters, making them vocal and prone to barking at perceived threats, strangers, or even squirrels! This behavior can be managed and minimized with training and adequate activity, but she probably isn’t cut out for apartment life with very nearby neighbors. Maggie is ready and waiting for a new kid-free, pet-free family where she can be your one & only. She sure is cute!
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
Maggie is happy to be sponsored by Rick and Amy Peebles in memory of Rex; Dan and Amy Courtine in honor of Eden, Susane Berg, Suzanne, Tillie Mae and Mimzie in memory of Bron Bron, Chelsea Barber, Tina and James McCroskey and Henry Leworthy. Thank you so much!
