This is Maggie, a Setter mix girl who is 3.

Maggie was rescued from the streets heavily pregnant and in a very poor state, malnourished with mange. A family took her in and helped her with her pregnancy and getting better. Only two of her eight puppies survived and have now been adopted.

Maggie lives in a garage on the ground floor of the family home and has access to a small garden, and since moving in goes out for walks three times a day. She is very good and sweet, she does not bark and is very obedient, and when called for her eye drops she goes and patiently sits, such is her gentle forgiving nature. Basically, she is incredible. She even goes outside for her wees and poos, so she most probably will easily adjust to living in a home and should be comparatively easy to house train in a full home setting.

She is negative to leishmaniasis and is currently awaiting testing for Brucella Canis.
