About MaggieBelle *woof woof.. thank you!!
MaggieBelle is heartworm positive and needs spay, we are looking for sponsors to help cover the cost which is around $600. Im MaggieBella, Maggie for short, and in the six weeks Ive been in rescue, I am beginning to see this as a good thing. I am about 6 years old and have lived most of my life in a puppy mill and was rarely around you humans. A very nice lady adopted me and realized that Sheltie Rescue could probably help me more than she could, so she brought me to them. I have already made a couple of trips to the vet and have several more in my future to get rid of these heartworms. Because I have those, I have to stay still and quiet most of the time, which is just fine with me! My new foster parents are spending lots of time with me, more than I want actually because Id rather be in a dark corner hiding. They keep telling me that I am a beautiful girl and giving me hugs and petting me. That has taken some getting used to. I have learned that they are very nice and Mom now takes me wherever she goes in the house. Shes not too bad; Ive even gone to look for her on my own a few times. I dont know how to go up that long staircase, but am working on walking down on the leash. I definitely like women more than men, but Dad makes me sit with him on the couch which Im getting more comfortable with. They watch this flickering box and sometimes I stare at that, but I sure dont like it when loud noises come out. They give me treats when I sit with them and I have my very own rawhide on my pillow by their bed. I like other dogs and the other ones that live here have helped me understand some of the rules, like going to the potty outside. I am starting to explore a little to find out more about this place where I live. I would really like a quiet forever home with a family who will give me love and some attention but nothing too overwhelming. I still have a lot to learn about love and trust so you'll have to push me out of my comfort zone without scaring me. In the end, I will be a wonderful pet.
